United Nations has declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day. It recognised that Yoga "provides a holistic approach to health and well-being" and that wider the dissemination of information about benefits of practising Yoga would be beneficial for the health of the world population. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice which integrates the body and the mind.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to UN General Assembly on September 27, called for declaring  21 June as  International Day of Yoga.  He said 
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; 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 within yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."
This will provide a plateform to people of all age groups who want to experience the meditativeness and expand their perception of life from individuality to universality.
