Here are the top quotes of PM Narendra Modi at the event.
I extend my greetings to the people from across the world on this occasion of International Yoga Day. Today, the entire world is performing Yoga. Yoga simply means to add, and it is an immense pleasure to see how Yoga has connected the entire world.
In the last one decade, when I see the journey of Yoga, it reminds me of many things. The day India put forth a resolution in the UNGA – to recognise June 21 as International Yoga Day- and in a very short time, 175 countries of the world stood with our country. This unity and support in today’s world is not a normal incident.
Let this Yoga Day marks “Yoga for humanity, where Yoga becomes medium of global partnership, says PM Narendra Modi.
I feel proud when I see that our Divyang friends study Yoga Shastras in Braille. Scientists practice Yoga in space. Young friends participate in the Yoga Olympiads in villages. An excellent yoga program is being performed on all these Navy ships. Be it the stairs of the Opera House, the peak of Everest, or the sea’s expanse – the same message comes from everywhere. Yoga is for everyone, beyond boundaries, background, and ability.
Today the entire world is going through some tension, unrest, and instability have been increasing in many regions. In such times, Yoga gives us the direction of peace. Yoga is the pause button that humanity needs to breathe, balance, and become whole again.
