With the world engulfed in uncertainty and conflict, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the 11th International Yoga Day celebrations from Visakhapatnam, emphasizing Yoga as more than exercise—it’s a global call for peace and unity. Marking the theme “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, over 3 lakh participants performed the Common Yoga Protocol alongside the Prime Minister, while mass sessions across 1 lakh locations attracted 2 crore citizens nationwide. PM Modi described Yoga as a “pause button humanity needs” to navigate global unrest and build resilience. This initiative highlights Bharat’s soft power, turning millennia‑old wisdom into a forward‑looking diplomatic tool—uniting nations through shared well‑being and harmony. What began in 2014 has become a global movement—193 countries now recognize June 21 as International Yoga Day, reflecting India’s cultural resurgence under the BJP’s leadership. Yoga is not just Bharat’s gift to the world—it is its signature on peace.
