Yoga is a ray of hope in India’s fight against covid-19 pandemic: PM Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the 7th International Yoga Day program said that “Yoga remains a “ray of hope” as the world fights the coronavirus pandemic and in these difficult times it has become a source of inner strength.”

PM Modi in his speech also said that “In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), India has taken another important step and now the world is going to get the power of M-Yoga application, which will have many videos of yoga training based on Common Yoga Protocol available in different languages of the world.”

At a time when the whole world is fighting the coronavirus pandemic, yoga remains a ray of hope. This will help us in making the ‘One World, One Health’ motto successful, PM Modi added.

For most of the countries of the world, Yoga Day is not their age-old cultural festival and in this difficult time, people could have forgotten about it and ignored it, but on the contrary, people’s enthusiasm for yoga has increased, he said.

The prime minister noted that there may not have been any major public events in countries around the world and India for around a year and a half, but the enthusiasm for Yoga Day has not diminished.

Many schools now begin their online classes with yogic exercises like pranayam, he said, adding that this prepares children physically to deal with Covid. The prime minister expressed confidence that yoga will continue playing its preventive, as well as promotive role in the healthcare of the masses.
