Hyderabad, June 1 (RAHNUMA): Telangana is set to host a grand special International Yoga Day celebration at LB Stadium here on June 20 at 5:30 AM under the leadership of Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy.
Highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role in taking Yoga to the global stage, Telangana BJP spokesperson P.L. Srinivas, in a press release, stated that Yoga has evolved into a worldwide wellness movement since the United Nations adopted June 21 as International Yoga Day in 2014 following Modi’s proposal. In 2014, PM Modi’s call at the United Nations General Assembly led to 177 nations adopting 21st June as International Yoga Day. His vision was clear: Yoga, rooted in India’s civilizational wisdom, is a universal gift for humanity. Today, from Times Square in New York to the foothills of the Himalayas, millions come together to practice Yoga, establishing India as the Vishwa Guru of holistic living, he added.
The event, themed “Yoga for All”, is expected to witness participation from students, families, professionals and senior citizens. Organizers said the initiative aims to promote physical fitness, mental well-being and healthy living. PM Modi’s vision ensures that Yoga reaches the youth. Through NCERT, Khelo India, and digital platforms, children are learning not just asanas, but also the philosophy of discipline, mindfulness, and respect for nature that Yoga embodies.
Srinivas urged the citizens to join the celebrations and embrace Yoga as a daily practice, describing it as a pathway towards a healthier India and a stronger society.
