Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leading celebrations on International Yoga Day from Vishakhapatnam, projected Yoga as a “direction of peace in a world which was going through tension, unrest, and instability.”

“Unfortunately, today, the entire world is going through some tension and unrest. Instability has 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,” the Prime Minister said on Saturday.

PM Modi added that Yoga leads one on a journey towards oneness with world. “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.”

This year’s theme for International Yoga Day is ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’. The event PM Modi is leading in Visakhapatnam is being held in a 26-km-long corridor where more than 3 lakh people can perform yoga together.
