Yoga Guides Us Toward Public Welfare: UP CM Yogi Adityanath Performs Yoga In Gorakhpur On IDY 2025
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other dignitaries performed yoga in Gorakhpur on Saturday on the occasion of the 11th International Yoga Day.
The UP CM welcomed everyone and noted that Yoga Day is being celebrated not only across India but around the world. He also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for popularising yoga on the global stage.
Addressing the public, Adityanath said, “Today, Yoga Day is being celebrated in Gorakhpur. The local minister, MPs, other public representatives, and all the brothers and sisters here are participating. I welcome everyone. This program is not only taking place here but across the country and the world. In Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is spreading the message of yoga. On the occasion of the 11th International Yoga Day, I send my warm wishes to everyone.”
“Yoga has been part of our culture since ancient times. Good health helps us fulfil our goals, and yoga supports our spiritual growth as well. It’s a tradition passed down by our sages through the Vedas, Puranas, and other ancient texts,” he added.
Yogi Adityanath emphasised that yoga builds spiritual strength and is a precious gift from India to the world. He applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for gaining global recognition for yoga.
He also extended his best wishes for health and happiness on the occasion.
“Spiritual strength comes through the body, and yoga strengthens both. India has gifted this practice to the world. In the past, people in other countries attempted to patent various yoga poses as their own, and we were losing our heritage. However, Prime Minister Modi gave yoga global recognition through the United Nations. Thanks to his efforts, we are now celebrating the 11th International Yoga Day. Yoga guides us toward public welfare. I wish everyone good health and happiness on this Yoga Day,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations, hailing yoga as a gift “beyond age” that transcends all boundaries and unites humanity in “health and harmony.”
The event took place against the scenic backdrop of the Visakhapatnam coastline, with Indian Navy ships stationed offshore, adding to the grandeur of the celebrations.
The 11th International Day of Yoga witnessed widespread participation across states.
