Asks People To Make Yoga A Part Of Their Daily Routine For Stress Free And Healthy Life
Srinagar– Stating that Yoga is India’s greatest gift to the humanity as it has transcended the boundary of religion, sect and geographical barriers to bring happiness in people’s lives, the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha Wednesday advised people to make Yoga a part of their daily routine for stress free and healthy life
“Yoga is not just a physical exercise, but it also symbolizes the spirit of oneness between body-mind and nature. This rich and ancient tradition, based on prevention for better health, has been accepted by medical science and researchers as a unique and significant practice of the traditional system of medicine which offers tremendous physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages,” Sinha said.
The LG was addressing Yoga enthusiasts at the 9th International Yoga Day celebrations at Botanical Garden here on Wednesday. He said everyone should make Yoga a part of their daily routine for a stress free and healthy life.
“Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, One World, One Health. This year’s theme underlines the vision of “One Earth, One Family, One Future” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Sinha said.
“Yoga is India’s greatest gift to humanity and it has transcended the boundary of religion, sect and geographical barriers to bring happiness in people’s lives,” he added.
The LG said the first Sutra of Maharshi Patanjali-now the discipline of Yoga and second one on cessation of the mind, is the key to understand Yoga.
“Body-mind together as one in present moment, here and now helps to reduce stress level, brings mindfulness and improves physical strength,” he said, adding “The great sage Maharshi Patanjali has observed that disorder within our body-mind is the main reason for stress, anxiety, inflammation in the body and heart diseases. Yoga brings harmony in our body-mind,”
For Yoga, the LG said, one needs both physical and mental discipline, so that body and mind do not function separately but work in an integrated manner.
“In today’s world, doctors, while prescribing the medicine for disease, always give free and important advice on bringing change in lifestyle for long term health. Yoga is the medium which brings change in the lifestyle and strengthens the bond between people,” Sinha added.
The said Yoga has helped humanity to remain healthy and today the world is attracted to Yoga and the nation is grateful to the Prime Minister, who will be participating in a Yoga event at the UN.
He also congratulated the Directorate of AYUSH, J&K for its efforts in promotion of the traditional system of medicine and for getting the approval of Homeopathic College in Kathua.
