Posted June 21st, 2018, 09:56 AM IST
Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "Yoga has emerged as the biggest unifying force in the world."
The Prime Minister reached the venue a little after 6:30 am wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of white trousers. PM Modi performed breathing exercises and asanas on the lawns of the Forest Research Institute (FRI).
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said from Dehradun to Dublin, from Shanghai to Chicago, from Jakarta to Johannesburg, Yoga is everywhere.
“The world has embraced Yoga and glimpses of this can be seen in the manner in which International Day of Yoga has been marked every year,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
He said the way to lead a calm, creative and content life was Yoga.
“In Yoga, we have the perfect solution to the problems we face, either as individuals or in our society,” the Prime Minister said.
“Instead of dividing, Yoga unites. Instead of further animosity, Yoga assimilates. Instead of increasing suffering, Yoga heals,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Yoga presents a ray of hope for future of the world.
“Yoga is beautiful because it is ancient yet modern, it is constant yet evolving,” he said.
Thanking PM Modi for selecting Dehradun to host the main event, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said the move will boost tourism in the state.
