PM Modi Performs Yoga At Yoga Day : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday participated in the International Day of Yoga event in Andhra Pradesh’s Vishakhapatnam. During the event, he addressed the people present. Highlighting yoga’s importance during the times of global conflict, PM Modi said that Yoga gives us direction of peace.
He said, “Unfortunately, today the entire world is going through some tension, unrest, and instability have been increasing in many regions. In such times, Yoga gives us the direction of peace. Yoga is the pause button that humanity needs to breathe, balance, and become whole again.”
“I feel proud when I see that our Divyang friends study Yoga Shastras in Braille. Scientists practice Yoga in space. Young friends participate in the Yoga Olympiads in villages. An excellent yoga program is being performed on all these Navy ships. Be it the stairs of the Opera House, the peak of Everest, or the sea’s expanse – the same message comes from everywhere. Yoga is for everyone, beyond boundaries, background, and ability.”
