The
Build-up to the UNO Declaration of 21st June as International Day”:
Prior to June 21st being declared the International Day of Yoga, a
Conference was organised at the Art of Living International Centre titled “Yoga:
A Science for World Peace” on 4th and 5th December 2011.
It was organised by the “Art of Living Foundation and Deemed University,
Bengaluru" jointly with the “Portuguese Confederation of Lisbon, Portugal".
Though the idea of observing World Yoga Day originated 10 years ago, this was
the first time that Yoga gurus from India endorsed it in large numbers.
A proclamation was signed for persuading the
United Nations (UNO) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation) to declare June 21 as International Yoga Day.
Excerpts
from the Indian Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi’s Address to the 69th
Session of the United Nations General Assembly on 27.09.2014:
“Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. This tradition
is 5000 years old. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action;
restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic
approach to health and well-being. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover
the sense of oneness with our selves, the world and nature. By changing our
life-style and creating consciousness, it can help us to deal with climate change.
Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day”.
The
UN Approves the Draft resolution tabled by India’s Permanent Representative to
the United Nations:
On 11.12.2014, the
193 member United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) approved the proposal by
consensus, with a record 177 co-sponsoring countries, a Resolution (no.69/131)
to establish 21st June as the “International Day of Yoga”.
In
its Resolution, the UNGA recognised that Yoga provides a holistic approach to
health and well-being and recognised the requirement of wider dissemination of
information about the benefits of practicing Yoga for the health of the World
population. It also recognised that Yoga also brings harmony in all walks of
life and is known for disease prevention, health promotion and management of
many lifestyle related disorders.
The
UN recognised that Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice
that originated in India. The word “Yoga” derives from the Sanskrit and means
to join or to unite, symbolising the union of body and consciousness. Today it
is practiced in various forms around the World and continues to grow in
popularity. International yoga day aims to raise awareness worldwide of the
many benefits of practicing Yoga.
Explaining
the initiative Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, the United nations Secretary-General said:
“During
a visit to India this year, I had an opportunity to practice Yoga. Yoga is an
ancient discipline from a traditional setting that has grown in popularity to
be enjoyed by practitioners in every Region. By proclaiming 21 June as the International Day of Yoga, the General
Assembly has recognised the holistic benefits of this timeless practice and its
inherent compatibility with the principles and values of the United Nations”.
Why
21st June was selected as International Day of Yoga?
From the perspective of Yoga,
the Summer Solstice marks the transition to “Dakshinayana”. Dakshinayana
is considered to be the time when elements of Nature support all those who are
following spiritual practices.
The full moon after the
summer solstice is known as “Guru
Poornima”. Lord Shiva, the first Yoga Practitioner (or the “Adi Yogi”) is said to have begun
imparting the knowledge of Yoga to the rest of mankind on this day and he became
the first Yoga Guru (or “Adi Guru”). 21st
June is also the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere, having special
significance in many parts across the World.
Yoga
– explained:
Yoga is essentially a
spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science which focuses on
bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an Art and a Science for healthy
living.
The word “Yoga” is derived
from the Sanskrit root “Yuj” meaning
“to join”, “to yoke” or “to unite”.
According to the Yogic
scriptures, the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness
with the universal consciousness.
A person who experiences
this oneness of existence is said to be “in Yoga” and is termed as a Yogi who
has attained a state of freedom referred to as “Mukti”, “Nirvana”, “Kaivalya” or “Moksha”.
“Yoga” also refers to an
inner science comprising a variety of methods through which human beings can
achieve union between the body and the mind to attain self-realisation.
The aim of Yogic practice
(or “Sadhana”) is to overcome all
kinds of sufferings that lead to a sense of freedom in every walk of life with
holistic health, happiness and harmony.
Yoga
– A Science dating back to thousands of years:
The Science or Art of Yoga
has its origins thousands of years ago. According to Yogic legend, Shiv or
Shiva, the Lord of Destruction in the Hindu trilogy was the first “Yogi” or “Adiyogi” and the first Yoga “Guru”
or “Adi Guru”.
Though Yoga is believed to
have been practiced in the pre-Vedic times, the great Sage Maharishi Patanjali
systematized and codified the then existing Yogic practices, their meaning and
the related knowledge through his “Yoga
Sutras”.
After Patanjali, many Sages
and Yoga masters have contributed towards the preservation and development of
Yogic practices through well-documented postures and literature.
With awareness being
created all over the Globe about the benefits of Yoga, many people are
attracted to the practices and philosophy of Yoga across Continents.
Philosophies,
Traditions, Lineages of Yoga:
The different
Philosophies, traditions, Lineages and the “Guru-Shishya
Paramparas” (meaning “teacher-student traditions”) of Yoga have led to the
emergence of different traditional schools. Each school has its own approach
and practices that would lead to the ultimate goals and Objectives of Yoga.
The most widely practiced Yoga “Sadhanas”
are:
Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyhara,
Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, Bandhas and Mudras, Shatkarmas, Yuktahara,
Mantra-japa, yukta-karma etc.
Co-ordinating
the International Yoga day Programmes in India:
The International Day of
Yoga Programmes in India was co-ordinated by the Central Government, Ministry of AYUSH (Ministry of Ayurveda,
Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy).
For several days prior to
the International Day of Yoga, citizens of India received the following Text
Message from the Ministry of AYUSH for several days, apprising citizens of the
Yoga Day programmes on 21.06.2015:
“Rejuvenate with Yoga: It helps to achieve control over the mind
and flexibility of the body. Live Life to its full potential. Ministry of AYUSH,
Govt. of India.”
The
First International Day of Yoga celebrated with great enthusiasm across the World
and in India:
The First International
Day of Yoga was celebrated all over the World by millions of enthusiasts and in
the Indian sub-continent with great enthusiasm as well. In India, more than 250,00,000
persons participated in various programmes organised all over the country.
I participated in the International Yoga Day programme
organised at Symbiosis College, Pune. I couldn’t do much because of my bad leg,
but I was certainly enthused by the massive response from the residents of
Vimannagar. Best of all, I even received a Certificate of Participation from
the Organisers.
At
the Rajpath, New Delhi, over 35985 participants including the Indian Prime
minister Shri Narendra Modi and a large number of dignitaries from 84 nations,
performed 21 Yoga Asanas (postures) for about 35 minutes. This event
established two Guinness World records:
-Largest
Yoga Class having 35985 participants and largest number of Nationalities
(Eighty Four in all) participating in the event.
Needless
controversies:
The “Surya Namaskar” set of exercises (which in my opinion is one of the
most beneficial of Yogic exercises and are the most beneficial in keeping the
practitioners fit and healthy & have nothing to do with religion) was taken
off due to objections from certain quarters, from the list of exercises
included in the official programme as was the chanting of “shlokas”.
A
personal interaction from my visit to Ghana during February 2013 with Ahmad, a
Ghanaian:
When I was in Ghana on a
visit some years ago, I had an interesting interaction with a Ghanaian named
Ahmad, who had come to negotiate with us at my friend’s timber/teakwood factory
for buying a heap of scrap iron. After several rounds of hard bargaining with
him, I settled for a good deal for my friend.
Then, we leaned over the
railing like two “cowboys” in the “Old West” and he spoke to me “Rajeev, do you
know Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in India? I have a lot of Indian friends in Kumasi
(the nearby town) where I have lived for several years and have got a lot of AV
Cassettes and literature on him from my Gujarati friends. I have listened to
him several times and have been very influenced by his concepts/discourses. I
even listened to discussions he had with several prominent Muslim/Sufi thinkers
of our time on African TV channels which I thought went 50-50.
I was not convinced about
his “religious philosophy” but I have been drawn towards his Yogic practices
like the “Sudarshan Kriya”. I even
have a lot of Cassettes/VCRs on his meditation/ practices as well as cassettes
on yoga taught by other practitioners, which is supposedly an ancient Indian
system of staying fit. Should I start doing Yoga and practice Ravi Shankar’s “Sudarshan Kriya”? I have my doubts,
however. What do you think?”
I leaned over the railing
like a seasoned “Old Cowboy” and pondered over his “loaded” question. I am not
much into following the teachings of any Guru in particular and really can’t
sit through “anybody’s lectures”, but for a whole month in Ghana, I had been
studying the “Adinkra symbols” which
are the ancient symbols of the “Ashantis”
(who were always fighting with this tribe or that – I wondered whether they
would find peace if they were called the “Shantis”
(which means “Peace” in Hindi/Devnagri).
Although Ahmad was a “Northerner” and the Ashantis were “Southerners” in Ghana, I had found out that “social teachings” and respect for the spirits of their ancestors was deeply rooted in the Adinkra Symbols.
Although Ahmad was a “Northerner” and the Ashantis were “Southerners” in Ghana, I had found out that “social teachings” and respect for the spirits of their ancestors was deeply rooted in the Adinkra Symbols.
So I answered Ahmad thus,
“You see this mango tree, Ahmad? It is laden with fruit which can be enjoyed by
the people, as well as, by future generations!! You see those women chopping
wood for using as firewood for cooking food tonight? For them, cooking a meal
tonight is the “larger picture”.
But, for a Guru, who need not be a religious teacher, but
looks to the welfare of a Society at large, the “larger picture” in this
example would be to somehow save the mango tree from being chopped, so that
everyone can eat its fruit for posterity. So how does he save this tree? If he
tells you “the spirits of your ancestors” live on this tree, then you would
think twice before chopping this tree.
Now you decide whether you
are looking at the short term picture or the long term picture. Arguing about
whether you need to chop the tree down for firewood today or to enjoy its
fruits in perpetuity.”
There was a long silence,
before Ahmad answered “I never looked at this issue in that light. I am going
to follow the Yogic practices and visit India, to see Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in
person.”
He
wanted me to come the next day to Kumasi to see his literature on Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar and other spiritual leaders, as well as, the Yogic practices he wanted to follow, but as I was
leaving for India the next day, I could not meet Ahmad again.

The above is an image of a 100 stamps sheet titled "Yoga" in the denomination of 25 Paise each, printed by India Security Press, Nasik Road, under the 11th Definitive Series Programme. Definitive stamps are used for day - to - day postal mailing
purposes and are available in various ascending denominations from 25 paisa
onwards at all postal counters.
Mr Ramchandra Lalingkar has explained the use of "Definitive Stamps" as follows:
"These 25 paise stamps are being used regularly every week, fortnight or
month by 'Registered periodicals' which are in hundreds through out
India (including our monthly magazine 'Samvad'). Because such a
concession in postage is being granted by
Postal Authorities as per Postal rules only.
For upto 50 grams weight per
'article' this concession is granted. If the weight exceeds 50 grams, then
an additional 25 paise stamp is required to be affixed upto 100 grams, and
so on.
For getting this concessional postage facility the publisher has
to apply on prescribed forms every three years to renew the facility
along with enclosures of proper records which are maintained by the
publishing office. This is a very cumbersome job & we as a Pensioner's Association
(being Publisher of our monthly magazine "Samvad") are following this
procedure for the past
decade or so.
Saving huge sums on account of postages:
To save thousands of rupees on a/c of postages, we have to
do this. Otherwise we have to pay Rs.4/- as postage per issue of "Samvad"
every month. And our membership is at present more than 12500 &
increasing every month. So calculate the amount of postage that would
have been incurred by us every month.
There is another facility also
granted to us by postal authorities as per rules that we can dispatch
Samvad without affixing 25 paise postal stamps as our number of articles
to be posted every month is quite large & it is not possible for
the post office to provide us that many number of stamps every month. So
they give us a bill of postages every month & we have to pay it and
show their receipt next month when we go to Market Yard PSO (Postal Sub-Office) on 25th of the
month.
In India, there are periodicals like India Today, The Week,
and so on....... who have been granted such concessions "Without
Prepayment of Postage".
You will observe that on last page on top, there
is printed this authorization granted by postal authorities."
