Prime Minister Narendra Modi today shared Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan’s article highlighting yoga and its profound impact on human well-being. In his article, the Vice-President said that Yoga is a timeless practice for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being that is believed to have started with the very dawn of India’s civilisation. Mr Radhakrishnan said that yoga is an ancient discipline that harmonises body, mind, and spirit, rooted in the spiritual wisdom of Bharat. The Vice-President said that the pressing need of the hour is to initiate people into yoga at an early age.

He said, the earlier one begins the practice of yoga, the greater the cumulative benefits throughout life. The Vice-President said that the true strength of yoga lies in its holistic nature, as yoga nurtures emotional balance and social connectedness. He also urged every citizen, educational institution, civil society organisation, healthcare professional, and community leader to embrace yoga not merely as an occasional exercise, but as a lifelong cultural and wellness practice.
