Yoga can ensure peace in a “conflict-ridden” world and is the “pause button” that is the need of the hour, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.
“Let this Yoga Day mark the beginning of Yoga for humanity 2.0 where inner peace becomes global policy. May today be the start of global peace,” the Prime Minister said, as he led the 11th International Yoga Day celebration in Visakhapatnam.
Yoga is for all, beyond boundaries, backgrounds, age or ability, he said. “It has united the world. After 11 years, Yoga has become part of the lives of crores of people around the world. Whether the Sydney Opera House or Everest mountain or the span of the ocean, the message is that Yoga is for everyone,” he added.
The 11th International Yoga Day, celebrated by several countries across the world on June 21, has been themed as ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’.
In his speech, PM Modi said crores of people have adopted yoga. “It awakens us to interconnectedness. Yoga is for one Earth, one health. Yoga takes us from me to we. India is offering healing to the world,” he said.
