Bengaluru, June 21 (NationPress) In celebration of the International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2025, a remarkable gathering of over 1,500 participants took part in the unique Yogaarambha event at the Kittur Rani Chennamma Stadium. This event was collaboratively organized by the National President of BJP Youva Morcha and Member of Parliament Tejasvi Surya along with Atha Yog Living.
Yoga enthusiasts, wellness advocates, foreign diplomats, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), and individuals from various backgrounds united to honor the rich tradition and essence of yoga.
Through a diverse array of Yogasanas, attendees showcased India's ancient wisdom, aimed at enhancing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
During the event, MP Tejasvi Surya highlighted the worldwide recognition of IDY, an initiative spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He noted, "Yoga is not merely for Indians — it serves as a guiding principle for all humanity towards a healthier lifestyle. On my recent multi-party delegation trip to the United States, I was thrilled to witness Indian culture and ancient knowledge being pivotal in global discussions.”
“Throughout our conversations, we addressed the importance of Yoga and Ayurveda in fostering holistic health and how these ancient practices are addressing modern health issues.”
Surya expressed, “It was intriguing to discover that a senior Colombian parliamentarian is both a Yoga practitioner and a senior teacher of the Art of Living, imparting Yoga and Sudarshan Kriya to numerous individuals. I also engaged in insightful discussions with the Vice President of Brazil about the universal significance of Ayurveda and Yoga—he himself practices Yoga regularly. Yoga is not just timeless; it is universal. Today, it stands as one of the most potent instruments for promoting peace, stability, and overall well-being globally.”
The event welcomed a host of distinguished guests, including Hillary McGeachy, Consul General of Australia in Bengaluru; Edgar Pang, Consul General of Singapore in Chennai; Kartik Talam, Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Cambodia in India; and N.S. Srinivasa Murthy, Honorary Consul General of Vietnam in Karnataka.
This initiative is part of Tejasvi Surya’s ongoing commitment to encouraging physical activity and wellness as integral components of a healthy lifestyle among the youth of Bengaluru.
The event garnered significant support from the Ministry of AYUSH, Youth for Parivartan, Neokred Technologies, and Foundation India.
