And all countries of the world have joined this programme according to their time.
The UN is celebrating International Yoga Day all over the world.
It was started last year on India's request.
This day was picked because in many parts of the world June 21 is the longest day. This is the day when the Earth is closest to the Sun.
We got the support of the entire world - both developed and developing countries.
People of all classes supported it.
UN celebrates many days round the year but this one has become a Jan Andolan (People's Movement) unlike any other.
There are many days for health marked by the UN- World Cancer Day, World Health Day, World Mental Health Day, World AIDS Day.
But this is the day that is related to not just physical and mental health but also social health.
This is a day of also the traditions that have been handed over to us by our ancestors.
Yoga is a also a life discipline.
Sometimes people cannot understand this due to their limited understanding.
Yoga is not for getting something.
Yoga is about what we can give up.
It is a path of mukti (liberation), not paane ka (attainment).
Yoga is for peace in this world, unity in the world, not a science of heavens.
Yoga teaches us how to calm our mind and energise our body.
And if this balance is achieved, then our body can become a medium for achieving all we want.
