On the occasion of International Yoga Day, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Dr. Mohan Yadav wrote in his blog that “Samatvam Yoga Uchyate” i.e. balance is yoga… While this message of Lord Shri Krishna in Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the formula to balance the entire world, Maharishi Patanjali has provided the path to human life to remain healthy and diseased through “Yogaschittavrittinirodha” in Patanjali Yoga Sutra. This Sanatan Yoga tradition of India is the basis for making the world balanced and prosperous at the level of body, mind and soul. The way of life developed by sages and sages centuries ago is today the path of happiness, peace and balance for the entire world. It is a matter of pride for us that Yoga has become a medium for the welfare of world humanity.
CM Yadav Said that I am happy to inform that this year on International Yoga Day, Honorable President Draupadi Murmu will be present as the chief guest in the function organized in the holy land of Madhya Pradesh. His arrival is a matter of pride for Madhya Pradesh. It is a happy coincidence that Madhya Pradesh is getting an opportunity to play a special role in the global movement of Yoga.
Result of Prime Minister Modi’s tireless efforts
He said that due to the visionary leadership and tireless efforts of the illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi, June 21 was recognized as International Yoga Day by the United Nations General Assembly. This decision is a symbol of the world community’s respect for Indian culture and philosophy of life. Crores of people in more than 190 countries around the world have made yoga a part of their lives. This is a proof of India’s cultural consciousness and spiritual leadership. This year the theme of International Yoga Day has been kept as “Yoga for Healthy Age”.
It is a matter of happiness that the Madhya Pradesh government has made efforts on a large scale to take yoga to the masses. Healthy citizens are the basis of a developed and prosperous nation. “Ghar-Ghar Yoga – Har Vyakti Nirog” campaign has been started for the healthy and happy life of every person of the state. Regular yoga activities are being conducted in more than 800 Ayushman Arogya temples, health and wellness centers and various hospitals in the state. Trained yoga teachers are also making citizens practice yoga in small groups. Yoga Sakhi and Yoga Doot are spreading the message of Yoga in every village and city and locality.
New chapter of public participation in the state
The International Yoga Day event, which started in the state from May 12, is writing a new chapter of public participation with “Har Ghar Yoga Abhiyaan”. In this sequence, the people of the state are getting the benefit of online yoga sessions organized by the Ministry of AYUSH. It is a matter of pride for all of us that recently, in the Yoga Mahotsav organized at Malvanchal University, Indore, more than 35 thousand students did group yoga and set a new world record. Yoga is a medium to put into practice the idea of “One Earth-One Health” which connects us with ourselves, society and nature. Along with keeping the body healthy, it makes life balanced, meaningful and excellent.
Madhya Pradesh government has also linked yoga with environment protection and public welfare. Special public campaigns are being conducted from World Environment Day to International Yoga Day. Work is being done on environment protection through the campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” and health protection through yoga. There is a deep connection between nature and human health. Yoga inspires us to live a life of co-existence with nature. This is also the basic element of Indian philosophy of life.
Madhya Pradesh government is continuously working to make Yoga a mass movement through AYUSH treatment, Yoga Wellness Centre, Arogya Mandir and public awareness programmes. Our effort is that every citizen of the state should benefit from yoga and take steps towards a healthy life.
Today the world is suffering from stress and depression
CM wrote that I am happy to inform that a global conference is going to be organized in Madhya Pradesh in January 2027 on the topic of One Earth, One Health and One Consciousness: Yoga for Overall Well-Being. In this, Madhya Pradesh will represent the civilizational consciousness of India globally. Today, when the world is facing stress, depression, lifestyle diseases and social challenges, Yoga is a great support for humanity. Thus, it is the basis of a healthy body, peaceful mind and happy life.
International Yoga Day is a resolution to build a healthy, conscious and self-reliant society. It is a celebration of the ancient consciousness of India, which has paved the way for human welfare for centuries. We are proud that today the whole world is adopting Yoga and getting the benefit of this invaluable knowledge of India.
Along with this, he said that I urge all the citizens of the state, youth, women, senior citizens, students, government servants and social organizations to join yoga activities and make it a part of their daily routine.
Come, let us all together make yoga an integral part of our lives. Connect your family and society with this and become a participant in building a healthy Madhya Pradesh, developed India and a prosperous world. Heartiest wishes to the people of the state on International Yoga Day… (The author is the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh).
