Yoga India's greatest gift to international community: Guv

Assam Governor Banwarilal Purohit today said that among the many notable contributions by India, Yoga was the most important as it shows the people the path towards divine unity of mind and body.
"Yoga is an offshoot of India's ancient wisdom and is its greatest gift to the international community", the Governor said in a statement here.
He also called upon people to celebrate the day to achieve synergy between mind, body and nature.
The day has assumed greater significance as United Nation's Organisation in response to Prime Minister Modi's request on December 11, 2014 decided to celebrate June 21 as the International Day of Yoga, he said.

"We should all join hands to celebrate the day and reap the benefits of our ancient wisdom and ensure that we can handle our fast-paced lives in a more composed and serene way", the Governor added.
