Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi leads celebrations at Meerut on International Yoga Day
He was leading the Yoga celebrations on the Grounds of CCS University in Meerut today.
Participating in the second “International Yoga Day” with thousands of people at Meerut, Shri Naqvi appealed to the people to make this “International Yoga Day” a day of commitment to good health. Celebration of “International Yoga Day” by the entire world community with passion and enthusiasm is another evidence of India’s growing prestige at global level, he said.
He congratulated the Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose efforts have resulted into global recognition and acceptance of Yoga.
Naqvi said that Yoga is more important today as human mind and body has been affected by stress and pollution. Yoga is the “golden key to good health” and “good health is real wealth”.
He said that Yoga is not just an exercise but it is “health science”. Yoga provides energy to our body as well as our mind. It helps in maintaining a balance in our lifestyle. Yoga is the union of the individual self with the universal self. The aim of yoga is to calm the chaos of conflicting impulses.
Naqvi himself has been practicing Yoga for the last several years and Yoga provides benefit to people of all age groups.
Naqvi said that it is not correct to link Yoga with a particular religion, region or community. Only ignorant people are looking at Yoga with “narrow mindset”. ‘Politics on health is harmful for health’, he said.
