How PM Modi Made Yoga India’s Source of Pride, At Home and Abroad

News 18  

Since its inception on June 21, 2015, International Yoga Day has grown in popularity and acceptance worldwide. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been a relentless yoga advocate, leading Yoga Day celebrations from different locations each year, and promoting its benefits at every opportunity. For them, adopting yoga timely offers significant wellness benefits, and PM Modi’s enthusiastic promotion has likely encouraged more elderly people to embrace yoga. Notably, the Congress party has consistently avoided acknowledging Yoga Day, possibly due to their disdain for PM Modi or a disregard for India’s cultural legacy. Last year, PM Modi led a Yoga Day event at the UN headquarters, setting a Guinness World Record for the most nationalities — 135 — at a yoga lesson.
