Atul Kasbekar: #India actually just took international ownership of #Yoga. About Time and Well done I say. Take a bow Narendra Modi.
Juhi Chawla also tweeted this video: Let us Celebrate #Yogaday by doing “Namaskar” – the simplest form of #YogaForAll
Shilpa Shetty encouraged people to take up Yoga in their daily lives
“If you really want to lead a happy and healthy life then I thinks it’s time you practised yoga. Yoga targets the mind, body and soul. It’s this three-in-one practice. It is the holistic approach to life. It is a scientific way of being fit. It cures you if you are ill, tones your body, and keeps you fit. If you are unwell, you can’t do any other form of exercise but yoga. It is quite brilliant. You feel peaceful after doing yoga and peace equals to happiness. I feel yoga is the road to happiness.” she said.
This news doesn’t deserve an article
don’t know what I should comment
ok yoga is very important i don’t do it but I’ll start it from tomorrow itself
Lol look at vir das’s tweet..hehehe
Anyways its a proud moment for we indians..but still i wanna say inspite of giving more than required attention to yoga we must look at our country n its crisis. We have to spend on poors rather than spending our money in promoting yoga…um getting consecutive msgs evetyday regarding yoga..thats ok.but from where is the money coming from..??
Dont our poors need to be fed first before letting dem know about importanace of our “invented” yoga
@Damnnnnn… what do you mean exactly? Look at the bigger picture.. The PM is promoting Yoga, which if people take seriously, it will benefit everyone in the country. Health = Wealth.
And why do you expect the government to feed the poor? India is the only country where we sit back and criticise the government. Why can’t the poor work? Do something, do anything! Everyone has to work and earn for their living, no one gets free money.
The government should just provide education and promote good health. They are not promoting Yoga because it was invented by us, but because it helps to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Vir Das Rocks!!
Yeah @neeraj i understand health=wealth
But did just say why government should feed the poor??.. its the most baseless thing to say…wateva happens in a country ultimately the government is reponsible foh it..u are talking about providing education..how can they be educated when they are hungry…just because u belong to family well enough to sustain itself doesnt mean life is too east…just put urself in those poor peoples place.
N um not telling yoga day is beneficial to us..but i think it getting too much of hype n overpromotion. Government should spend their money in other fields as well.
So according to Vir Das, sex is a kind of Yoga! Strange! I’m not Indian and I’m muslim, so I don’t know much about Yoga. Whatever, happy fathers day to everyone.
Happy International Yoga Day . I am happy that UN has declared 21st June as IYD . To be Honest i don’t do Yoga but i know that Yoga is a boon for our health . My Mother does Yoga and she feels very relaxed and satisfied . I am happy that Narendra Modi is taking Yoga to an international level . We as Indians should be proud that India invented the Art of Yoga 5000 years ago . Today Billions of People from India and all over the world have done Yoga which is excellent and spectacular . I will also try to inculcate Yoga and learn few Asanas so that it makes me a Better and a Healthy Person .
Modi Ji Rocks !!!!!!! India Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shilpa Shetty said that Yoga targets body, mind, and ‘soul’, than salman bhai should practise Yoga.
@Damnn.. Dude!! You just don’t make any sense.. India has a population of 1.3 billion people and more than half of those are poor.. How can the government possibly give 2 meals a day for these people?? Let’s talk sense here.
If there are 100 students in a class.. a teacher can only teach and guide, but the students have to learn all by themselves..
Same way, the government can only provide jobs, education.. earning and feeding themselves is their own responsibility.
If the government starts providing free food.. people will become lazier and stop working.. all the money of the government, instead of going into development.. will go into feeding people.
@Shaggy.. what does King of Legend and King of Shehenshah even mean? No wonder a lot of people call Bhai fans as idiots.. Because most never make sense ?
Indians have one Yoga day, world has it 365 days
