Yoga: India’s Gift to the World

Yoga is more than a practice—it's a timeless philosophy, a way of life rooted in India’s ancient wisdom. For centuries, it has offered a path to physical well-being, mental clarity, and spiritual balance. Thanks to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, yoga has been embraced across the globe like never before.

It was through his persistent advocacy that the United Nations declared June 21st as International Yoga Day, a day now recognized and celebrated by millions worldwide.

Visakhapatnam at the Center of Celebration

In a moment of great pride, Visakhapatnam will host this year’s grand yoga event, Yogandhra, organized by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. With an expected turnout in the lakhs, this celebration is set to showcase the state’s vibrant spirit and commitment to holistic wellness.

The participation of Prime Minister Modi not only adds immense significance to the event but also serves as an inspiration to all—reminding us of the collective power of health, unity, and mindfulness.
