Srinagar, June 21: Asserting that Yoga is India’s greatest gift to humanity,Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said that it has transcended the boundary of religion, sect, and geographical barriers to bring happiness in the lives of people.

Addressing the Yoga enthusiasts to mark the 9th International Yoga Day Celebrations at Botanical Garden, Srinagar, the LG said Yoga is not just a physical exercise, but it also symbolizes the spirit of oneness between body-mind and nature.
Highlighting the benefits of yoga in everyday life, he said, “Yoga helps calm the mind and energize the body. Whenever we talk about health and wellness, yoga comes to our minds. It is a kind of preventive care as it builds immunity in the body”. 
“Yoga for VasudhaivaKutumbakam, One World, One Health. This year’s theme underlines the vision of “One Earth, One Family, One Future” of Prime Minister NarendraModi,” he said.
LG Sinha said the first Sutra of MaharshiPatanjali-Now the Discipline of Yoga and the second one on cessation of the mind, is the key to understanding Yoga.
“Body-mind together as one in the present moment, here and now helps to reduce stress level, brings mindfulness, and improves physical strength,” he said.
LG Sinha said the great sage MaharshiPatanjali 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, he said.
“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, is based on prevention for better health,” LG Sinha said.
He also said that Yoga has been accepted by medical science and researchers as a unique and significant practice of a traditional system of medicine. It offers tremendous physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages, LG Sinha said.
The Lt. Governor said that for Yoga, 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 of bringing change in lifestyle for long term health,” he said.
LG Sinha said that yoga is the medium that brings a change in the lifestyle and strengthens the bond between people. Yoga has helped humanity to remain healthy and today the world is attracted to Yoga,’ he added.
“Today the nation is grateful to Prime Minister, who participated in a Yoga event at the UN. He also congratulated the Directorate of AYUSH, J&K for its efforts in the promotion of the traditional system of medicine and for getting the approval of Homeopathic College in Kathua,” LG Sinha said.

Director AYUSH J&K, Dr Mohan Singh said 20 mega events were held across Jammu and Kashmir. He said in March, the department started count down days and planned iconic sessions across all districts in J&K and districts were asked to hold sessions.

The sessions were held for jail inmates, students in schools, Panchayats, Gram Sabha and PRIs members, teachers and staff of line departments were also involved in Yoga sessions.
