Ahead of the sixth International Yoga Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said yoga provides multi-dimensional solutions to many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Urging people to observe the day from the confines of their homes due to the pandemic, he said the deadly virus may have reduced mobility, but it should not affect enthusiasm. The International Yoga Day falls on June 21.
“These are times of distancing. But do you know Yoga is what ends distance? Yoga is that which joins or brings things together,” he said in a video message.
To drive home his point, the prime minister explained that yoga ends distance between the mind and the body, which is the root cause of many problems.
