PM participates in mass yoga demonstration at Ramabai Ambedkar Maidan in Lucknow

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Joined by chief minister Yogi Adityanath and other dignitaries on the occasion of the 3rd International Day of Yoga-2017, PM Modi asserted that attaining “wellness” through yoga was more important than simply being physically fit. “It is not important to perform yoga for 24 hours. Even 50 or 60 minutes (is fine) because it lends harmony to the body, mind and intellect. If 1.25 billion Indians and people around the world can attain this state of well-being, then humankind can also tide over problems born out of human thoughts,” he said.
