Rishikesh. The celebration of the 12th International Yoga Day was completed with amazing, supernatural and historical dignity in the sacred lap of the Himalayas, the pure and uninterrupted stream of Mother Ganga and the divine spiritual atmosphere of Parmarth Niketan. On this occasion, Swami Chidanand Saraswati Maharaj, Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati and hundreds of ambassadors, diplomats, high commissioners, foreign representatives and yoga practitioners from many countries of the world practiced yoga together on the banks of Ganga and gave the divine message of health, balance, peace and human unity to the entire world.
International Yoga Day Common Yoga Protocol started with Vedic chanting and lighting of lamp. The light of the lit lamps illuminated the bright future of all humanity. It concluded with the World Peace Yagya, in which special sacrifices were made for the welfare of the entire world, environmental protection, happiness and prosperity of humanity and global peace.
Swami Chidanand Saraswati Maharaj said that Yoga is not just a practice of keeping the body healthy, but is a science of connecting the soul with God. Yoga is an invaluable gift of the Indian sage tradition which has provided the path to a healthy life, balanced mind and peaceful consciousness to the entire world. The permanent solution to the stress, depression, violence, imbalance and environmental crisis that the entire humanity is facing today lies in yoga, meditation and Indian spiritual culture.
Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati said that Yoga is not bound by the boundaries of any religion, caste, language or nation. Yoga is a unique heritage shared by India with the entire humanity. Only when we connect with ourselves are we able to connect with nature, society and God. The real meaning of yoga is not division, but confluence; Not conflict, coordination; Not unrest, but peace.
On this occasion, ambassadors, diplomats and high commissioners from many countries of the world expressed their deep respect for the eternal culture of India by doing collective yoga practice on the banks of Ganga. Everyone accepted that India has provided the direction of healthy life to the entire world through Yoga. Yoga has bound the countries of the world not only in physical health but also in cultural and spiritual closeness.
The pure stream of Mother Ganga, the cool breeze flowing from the Himalayas, the sacred sound of Veda mantras, the golden rays of the morning sun and the divine atmosphere of Parmarth Niketan became an unforgettable experience for the foreign guests and yoga practitioners. Many foreign tourists were seen completely engrossed in the Indian yoga tradition and engrossed in yoga, pranayam and meditation. Happiness, balance and spiritual peace were clearly visible on their faces.
From Parmarth Niketan, Yoga is the future of humanity, Yoga for a healthy body, Dose of Yoga every day, So do Yoga, do it daily and have fun, Do Yoga, Stay Healthy. The echo of the divine voices of health reached many countries of the world and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi made Yoga reach not only to every person, every house, every ghat, every ghat but also to the entire humanity.
Today, on International Yoga Day, yoga, meditation and pranayam are being practiced throughout the day in Parmarth Niketan. This grand event of the 12th International Yoga Day once again proves that India is not only the birthplace of Yoga but also a world leader connecting the world with peace, harmony, spiritual consciousness and the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
Yoga is not just an exercise but the best art of living. On the 12th International Yoga Day, let us all resolve to make yoga not just a festival but the excitement of life.
