New delhi date. 21 June 2020, Sunday

On the occasion of International Yoga Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the seeker of yoga never loses patience in times of crisis. Yoga means 'Samatvam Yoga Uchyate'. In other words, yoga is the name of being in every situation, adversity-adversity, success-failure, happiness-crisis. In the Gita, Lord Krishna, while defining yoga, says that- 'Yoga: Karmasu Kaushalam'. In other words, the skill of karma is yoga.

The Prime Minister said, "When we are talking about solving problems and the welfare of the world through yoga, I would also like to remind you of Yogeshwar Krishna's Karma Yoga.

We are told there that-

Yukta ahar viharasya, yukta chestasya karmasu.

Yukta swapna-va-bodhasya, yogo bhavati dukha.

That is, yoga is about eating right, eating right, playing right, sleeping well, and doing our job properly. '

He further said, 'Our spirit of doing good deeds for all people without any kind of selfishness is also called Karma Yoga. This spirit of Karma Yoga is ingrained in India. As a vigilant citizen we will move forward as a family and as a society. We should try to make yoga a part of our lives by staying at home and with family. We need to be successful and victorious. '
