Recognizing the universal appeal of Yoga, owing to its demonstrated benefits towards immunity building and stress relief, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 21st June as the International Day of Yoga (IDY) on 11th December 2014. Since 2015, this day has been observed worldwide in ever-growing numbers, to remind people across the globe about the benefits of Yoga, and to build enduring public interest in Yoga by highlighting its importance and contributions to public health.

We should make Yoga related movies with top heros in all languages. We know movies changed the world with imaginations. So why not in this field for a good cause. South Indian movies are becoming more violent now a days. It can be made Yoga + mind power as a base.

Introducing "Yoga Hour" in each and every office, school, College and making everyone (Excluding caste, creed, religion) practice Yoga techniques daily helps humanity a lot and popularises Yoga with fruitful results. That may be any form of Yoga that person can practice based on their interest and level they are in: - Raja Yoga (Asana, Pranayama, Dharana, Dhyana Practice) - Karma Yoga (Doing Service without selfishness) -Bhakti Yoga (Chantings, Satsang and any of 09 worships towards Lord) - Jnana Yoga (Reading/Listening to Scriptures, Understanding Upanishadhs)

Yoga needs to be practiced in a very subtle, gentle way, not in a forceful muscle building way, because this is not about exercise. The physical body has a whole memory structure. If you are willing to read this physical body, everything – how this cosmos evolved from nothingness to this point – is written into this body. Yoga is a way of opening up that memory and trying to restructure this life towards an ultimate possibility. It is a very subtle and scientific process.

Today, the way yoga is being done right now in most places of the world, it is a stillbirth. It is better not to get pregnant than to have a stillbirth, isn't it? If you want six abs or whatever number, I would say go and play tennis or hike in the mountains. Yoga is not an exercise; it has other dimensions attached to it. A different dimension of fitness, yes – you may get health out of it but not six abs.

The reason for its growing popularity is the large scale transmission of education. We have more intellect on this planet today than ever before. So, naturally as the intellect becomes stronger, people look for logical solutions to everything. The more logical they become, the more they become dependent on science and the outcome of science is technology. As the activity of the intellect becomes stronger in the world, more people will shift to yoga over a period of time and it will become the most popular way of seeking wellbeing.

Many other things come and go with changing fashions, but yoga has survived for thousands of years and is still picking up momentum. Even though it may be transmitted in a very rudimentary way and many times in a distorted manner, it still endures. Yoga is the only system which has lived for over 15,000 years without any papacy or enforcement.
