🌿 International Yoga Day – A Tribute to Ancient Wisdom 🌿
Date: June 21
Theme: “Yoga for Self and Society”
International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on June 21 to honor the timeless practice of Yoga, which originated in ancient India. Long before the emergence of modern religions, the great Rishis (sages) of India developed yoga as a holistic science for inner balance, mental clarity, and physical well-being.
Yoga is not just a set of postures—it’s a way of life, a path of harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in the Sanskrit word “Yuj”, meaning to unite, Yoga aims to unite the individual self with the universal consciousness.
🧘 Why Yoga Matters Today:
• Promotes physical health and immunity
• Enhances mental focus, peace, and emotional stability
• Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression
• Helps in achieving balance in everyday life
• Nurtures self-awareness and inner strength
In today’s fast-paced, fragmented world, yoga serves as a powerful tool to reconnect with oneself, restore inner calm, and build resilience.
Let us remember that Yoga is the gift of the ancient Rishis to all humanity—universal, inclusive, and beyond boundaries. It is not confined to any religion or region; rather, it is a science of well-being for all.
On this International Yoga Day, let us commit to making yoga a part of our daily life—for a healthier body, a peaceful mind, and a united world.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” – Bhagavad Gita
