Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and other Supreme Court judges participated in the 9th International Yoga Day on Wednesday, performing various yoga asanas at the apex court premises in New Delhi. The event was held at the newly-constructed additional building complex of the Supreme Court, which houses the Yoga and Recreation Hall. Besides CJI Chandrachud and other judges, officers and staff members of the court also voluntarily participated in the event, which was supervised by yoga experts.
The annual event celebrates the physical, mental, and spiritual practices of yoga and encourages people to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held with strict COVID protocols in place. Yoga is practiced worldwide, attracting millions of followers annually as people embrace the holistic approach to healing and maintaining good health.
The event marks a significant day in India’s history as the country has been at the forefront of promoting yoga globally. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proposed the idea of an International Yoga Day during his address at the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. Since then, every year on 21st June, people across the globe celebrate the International Day of Yoga.
The event at the Supreme Court premises was a perfect way for the judges and staff members to participate in the celebrations of the 9th International Day of Yoga and promote the benefits of yoga to the millions of people who look up to them. The participation of the highest judicial authority in the country emphasizes the importance of yoga in creating a healthy and harmonious society.
Through yoga, people can not only achieve physical fitness but also mental wellness, which is essential in today’s fast-paced and stressful world. The event at the Supreme Court premises serves as an example to millions of people around the world to incorporate yoga into their daily routine and lead a healthy, peaceful life.
