3RD INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY

21TH JUNE- 2017

The contemporary Yoga is no wonder a widely accepted health and wellness
culture. The physical, psychological , social and spiritual well-being are the major
aspects of Yoga. The ancient science that deals with practices for attaining the
state of God- Consciousness or Nirwana, which is heartedly spoken by many
scholars and pioneers as a knowledge of Living and life.
This facet of Yoga made the proposal for celebrating June 21 as International Yoga
day to be welcomed and accepted by majority in UN. Today we are celebrating 3rd
international Yoga day, and Nepal having the glorious history and culture of
ancient and contemporary Yoga is undoubtedly celebrating the day. We all know
the fact that we were celebrating Yoga day since very long, though it was not
internationally recognized. Due to the ignorance of Nepal government and bias,
or say carelessness of ours we lose the credit of making yoga day approved from
UN. whatever was the issue , we finally got to celebrate the International Yoga
Day. This is all good for world community.
Today we, a group of Young yogis and yoga lovers, with the aim of spreading the
message of yoga for the overall well-being, are going to celebrate and perform
yoga demonstration on the auspicious occasion of 3rd International Yoga Day-
2017.
On the context of Nepal, neither social, ethnical, linguistic nor religious factors
can be the symbol of National Unity, as we are culturally diversified nation, but
yoga can be the symbol of our national pride and unity. Nepal -a land of Himalaya,
Himvatkhanda, is the first place where the science of Yoga was developed and
flourished, by the time it spread to various part of world. Now the ancient gift of
Himalaya has become the boon for the entire world and mankind.
However, we are still unknown to the importance of Yoga in our national history,
and pride. Apart from being science of living, yoga is the art of well-being as well.
Therefore, it is very necessary to implement the knowledge of Yoga widely all
over nation. For the same reason the following yoga demonstration and
celebration program has been proposed.
