Upendra Bharati | HENB | Chandigarh | June 21, 2016:: Yog (Yoga) fans across the world have gathered to mark the second International Yoga Day. In Chandigarah, Northern India, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined thousands of people to perform “asanas” or yoga exercises with some easy Pranayams (breathing exercises). There were similar gatherings in Kalahandi district in Odisha, eastern India, but also in Canada, Australia, US, UK, Russia, covering the continents and even Afghanistan.
In 2014, The United Nations General Assembly declared June 21st the International Day of Yoga following a call from PM Modi during his address to the UN General Assembly.
A year after the first International Day of Yoga was celebrated the world over, yoga enthusiasts were back again Tuesday morning lunging forward, raising and stretching their arms, and slowly inhaling and exhaling.
The day was introduced when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi successfully lobbied the United Nations to dedicate 24 hours to the ancient discipline in September 2013.
This year, Mr. Modi joined thousands of people in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh as they pulled their mats out for a massive demonstration. World over, 173 countries will celebrate the discipline Tuesday.
“We are disconnected from ourselves in today’s times. Yoga helps us reconnect with ourselves,” Mr. Modi said, addressing participants at his event.
Images of different Yoga postures were displayed at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York in the build up to Yoga Day.
“Practicing yoga can help raise awareness of our role as consumers of the planet’s resources and as individuals with a duty to respect and live in peace with our neighbours,” said Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-General.
From Times Square in New York city to the Opera House in Sydney, celebrations for Yoga Day spanned the globe. Scroll down to take a look at photographs.
