Spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev led the yoga session of over 500 personnel and families of the Andaman and Nicobar command at the iconic Indian Navy Floating Dock to celebrate the fifth International Day of Yoga here on Friday.
"Our soldiers, here in Andaman and Nicobar, miles away from their families and the mainland, are putting their lives at stake to protect the Nation," Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation, said in his address.
"Our activities and achievements rest upon the sacrifices of these brave soldiers. It is of utmost importance to equip them with the Yogic tools of transformation for inner well-being," he said.
The session was also attended by commander-in-chief of Andaman and Nicobar command, Vice Admiral Bimal Verma. The Sadhguru also interacted with personnel of the armed forces at another event, according to a statement from Isha Foundation.
Terming this special, Sadhguru also tweeted: "Yoga for Indian armed forces personnel at the first indigenously built floating dock of the Indian Navy FDN2 made this Yoga Day very special. The men & women who maintain this engineering marvel to guard the nation are the true heroes. We bow to you."
