Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said with swachhata and yoga, the country will move towards realizing the dream of ‘Viksit Bharat’ at a fast pace. Preparations for International Yoga Day 2025 have begun with the launch of a cleanliness campaign on May 27, and daily yoga classes are underway for the grand event on June 21.
When PM Narendra Modi proposed the idea of yoga at the United Nations, 177 countries agreed to it and today, yoga derived from our land has reached every person in the world. The Prime Minister has worked to spread the message of yoga all over the world.
Saini said the programme of International Yoga Day in Kurukshetra will be historic and grand. Our ancient ideology is included in yoga. Rishis have given us yoga and meditation as a gift. By doing yoga, a man remains healthy.
The Chief Minister was addressing a meeting organized with various institutions regarding International Yoga Day in the auditorium of Multi Art Cultural Centre, Kurukshetra today.
The Chief Minister urged the officials of institutions, NGOs, business organizations and other organizations present in the meeting to play their role in making the programme successful. He also asked Patanjali Yog Peeth to spread the message of yoga in every house of the city.
The Chief Minister said Swami Ramdev has done the work of spreading yoga in the country and the world. The arrival of Baba Ramdev on June 21 in Kurukshetra, the land of Lord Krishna, is a matter of great pride for the people of Kurukshetra.
He said the theme of International Yoga Day this year is ‘One Earth, One Health’, while the Haryana Government has also added ‘Yoga Yukt, Nasha Mukt’ slogan with it.
He said more and more people should be involved in this campaign and whatever responsibility has been given to anyone, he should fulfill it on priority.
He said just as we celebrate festivals like Diwali, Holi, Bhaidooj, this International Yoga Day should also be celebrated in the same way.
