The Prime Minister said that the spirit behind proposing the International Day of Yoga in the United Nations was to make this science of Yoga accessible to the whole world. It is noteworthy that on 11 December 2014, the United Nations declared 21 June as International Yoga Day.

The Prime Minister said that Yoga takes us from stress to strength and from negativity to creativity. Yoga takes us from depression to ecstasy and from ecstasy to prasad. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Yoga would continue to play a preventive and motivating role in the health care of the people. He said that whenever the sages of India spoke of health, it did not mean only physical health. That is why, along with physical health, there is so much emphasis on mental health in yoga.
