What did Union Minister Durgadas Uike say?
Union Minister Durgadas Uike, who came as the chief guest at this grand function, while addressing the gathering, said that we all are very fortunate to have been born in a holy land like India and the holy land of sages. Our ancestors have handed us down divine traditions and high values like Yoga as our heritage. Today, this great sage tradition of India is expanding rapidly through yoga in 151 countries of the world. He further said that Yoga not only keeps the body healthy, but it also gives true inspiration to man to become great from small and shows the eternal path to become the best man. Due to the foresight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today Yoga has got a new and strong identity in the whole world, which will play the biggest role in making India the number one country in the world by the year 2047.
Yoga tradition is an invaluable asset of sages and sages.
Cabinet Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya, who was specially present in the program, while sharing his views, said that Yoga is an extremely invaluable and sacred capital of our country, which was achieved by the great sages of India on the basis of centuries of hard penance and meditation. Expressing pain, he said that during the dark period of slavery of almost 1000 years, we had become far away from this great form of Yoga. Yoga is not just a name for physical exercise, rather it is a sacred science of uniting our body, mind, soul and intellect. When a person understands the true meaning and nature of Yoga, it becomes possible for him to meet God directly.

The Cabinet Minister further said that Yoga is the most direct, simple and effective means of spiritual progress. Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi wholeheartedly, he said that thanks to his tireless efforts, today the whole world is celebrating this day like a festival.
