On June 21, 2021, International Yoga Day was celebrated around the globe, promoting the health benefits of the ancient practice. In Madhya Pradesh, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed the gathering at the Narmada River on the land of Rani Durgavati.
In his speech, Vice President Dhankhar shared his awe-inspiring experience of being present at such a significant location. He emphasized that Yoga Day is not just a one-day event but a daily practice. This year’s theme for International Yoga Day is of great importance as it highlights the efforts made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to establish yoga as a distinct identity worldwide.
Just like asafoetida enhances the taste of food, yoga serves as the mantra to enhance the vibrancy of life, said Dhankhar.
During his speech, Chief Minister Chouhan emphasized that there is no greater tool for good health than yoga. He also paid his respects to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on this occasion.
The event was organized by the State Ayush Department and the State Tourism Board. The gathering was also addressed by MP Chief Secretary Iqbal Singh Bains, and Madhya Pradesh Ayush Minister Prabhuram Choudhary.
The event concluded with a group yoga session, where participants from several districts of Madhya Pradesh took part. The event was attended by an estimated 500 people.
The benefits of practicing yoga are well-known, and it’s crucial to continue promoting its practice. The organizers of the event hope that such celebrations will encourage people to make yoga a part of their daily routine. The Madhya Pradesh government’s efforts to promote yoga are commendable, and it’s essential to acknowledge the role that such events play in creating awareness about the benefits of yoga.
