Posted on 18th Jun 2021 05:18 pm by rohit kumar

International Yoga Day, celebrated every year by the United Nations, is also being celebrated on 21 June this year.

 

Due to the Covid transition, it will be organized virtually like last year's event. You can watch the live broadcast of the seventh International Yoga Day event on June 21, 2021, between 8:30 am and 10 am on UN Web TV of the United Nations.

 

The theme of the International Yoga Day event every year is Bindu, this time the United Nations has named it Yoga for Well Being. During the last two years of covid transition, it has been observed that yoga is keeping people strong not only physically but also mentally and psychologically so that they can cope better with covid related difficulties and depression.

 

The United Nations said in its statement, "There has been an increasing trend around the world to adopt yoga to stay healthy during the Covid epidemic and to fight social isolation and depression. Yoga can help people recover from Covid-19." It is playing an important role. It is reducing their fear and anxiety."

 

International Yoga Day begins

 

The proposal to celebrate International Yoga Day was first given by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the United Nations General Assembly on 27 September 2014. In his address, the Prime Minister had described Yoga as an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition.

 

This resolution was supported by 175 countries, because of this, the support of so many countries had never been received before on UN resolution, in view, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations announced to celebrate 21 June International Yoga Day every year.

The theme of the event was Yoga for Harmony and Peace.

 

On June 21, 2016, the second International Yoga Day was formally organized in Chandigarh, wherein the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 150 people with disabilities along with 30,000 people participated. The theme of this year's event was Connecting Youth.
