On 10 July the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, came on a state visit to Austria.
At this occasion, the Indian Embassy gave a grand reception in the Sophiensaal, one of the most prestigious cultural venues of Vienna.
It was an honour for the Sivananda Centre to be invited at this exceptional event, the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Austria since over 40 years.
In the name of all Centres and Ashrams, Swami Satyananda presented the Sivananda Yoga Home Practice Companion to the Prime Minister, along with the following message:
To the Honorable Vienna, 10th of July 2024

We humbly express our gratitude to the Honorable Prime Minister.
In the name of all our yoga teachers and participants, accept my humble gratitude for inaugurating the “International Day of Yoga” worldwide. It has been an unspeakable support and has uplifted the yoga world beyond imagination.
