Yoga increases our life-span by a year. I convey my gratitude to our Prime Minister for making International Yoga Day. Yoga definitely increases our living days.
Students should do regular yoga just like a part of the sports activities. Individual lifestyles have changed. Practising Yoga changes the lifestyle.
Yoga shuld be included in the curriculum. Yoga will be included as a subject IN VIT University. Once, they used to show elephants & peacocks to identify India. Now they are shoeing Yoga to identify India.
Yoga for healthy living
Most of us are aware about Bodhisatwa. He went from India to China to spread Yoga. Yoga is more than 5000 years old. Yoga is a treasure inherited by us from ancestors.
Both our body & mind get refreshed while performing Yoga.
It is equivalent to servicing our body. When I visited uSA, everyone was talking about Yoga.
In our country, people of all ages do Yoga.
Sialmbattam from Tamil Nadu & kalari from Kerala went to foreign countries and returned in the form of kung-fu.
Yoga is above any religion. Mind focuses and converges while doing Yoga, With thei will of the mind, we can accomplish anything. Earning money is not important but earning our life is. Those of you who performed Yoga heret today will have to teach yoga 10 10 persons each.
Practise Yoga for a healthy & happy life!
Many Local eminent officials in the field of education were honorary guests.
