“Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness.”
— Narendra Modi, UN General Assembly
Law College Dehradun celebrated ‘International Yoga Day’ on 21st June, 2021 under the aegis of the Cultural Society in a grand fashion. Every year 21st of June is observed as ‘International Yoga Day’ since its inception in the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. The Indian Prime Minister, Shri. Narendra Modi, in his UN address suggested the date of 21 June, as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and shares a special significance in many parts of the world.
To mark this auspicious occasion Law College Dehradun presented a video depicting various Yoga Asanas and their benefits. The video was uploaded on Youtube Channel and the Website of the Uttaranchal University. This video is an initiative of Law College Dehradun to spread positivity amidst the pandemic. The students made their best efforts to shoot the videos from their home and the Head of the Cultural Society, Ms. Kanchan Anand, converted all these bits and parts into a masterpiece. This video is a gesture of respect and support for our culture and values.
“We cannot control what goes on outside, but we can always control what goes on inside and Yoga is the best way to learn self-control”
