Yoga is having 5000 year old history and
its origin in India. It purifies mind and body and gives relaxation. 21st
June is declared as International Yoga day by United Nation General Assembly.
The selection of this day has various reasons like, Mr. Narendra Modi has said
that “the date is the longest day of the year in Northern Hemisphere and has
special significance in whole world. On 21st June the whole world
celebrated this day with various Yoga Asanas , and Yoga practices.
Our department has a
tradition to celebrate International Yoga day from last two years, on this year
also we have celebrated this day. We all gathered at the terrace of our
department and started the celebration with prayer from Rigveda,
संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं
सं वो मनांसि जानताम्
देवा भागं यथा पूर्वे
सञ्जानाना उपासते ||
saṃgacchadhwaṃ saṃvadadhwaṃ
saṃ vo manāṃsi jānatām
devā bhāgaṃ yathā pūrve
sañjānānā upāsate ||
May you move in harmony, speak in one voice; let your minds be in agreement; just as the ancient gods shared their portion of sacrifice.
समानो मन्त्र: समिति: समानी
समानं मन: सहचित्तमेषाम्
समानं मन्त्रमभिमन्त्रये व
समानेन वो हविषा जुहोमि ||
samāno mantraḥ samitih samānī
samānaṃ manaḥ sahacittameṣām
samānaṃ mantramabhimantraye vaḥ
samānena vo haviṣā juhomi ||
May our purpose be the same; may we all be of one mind. In order for such unity to form I offer a common prayer.
समानी व आकूति: समाना हृदयानि व
समानमस्तु वो मनो यथा व: सुसहासति ||
samanī va ākūtiḥ samānā hrdayāni vaḥ |
samānamastu vo mano yathā vaḥ susahāsati ||
May our intentions and aspirations be alike, so that a common objective unifies us all.

saṃgacchadhwaṃ saṃvadadhwaṃ

After having prayer we started warm
up exercises, we all have instructed by Vaidehi Hariyani and our professor has
given the demonstration of all the Aasanas.
After warm up exercises, we
have started yoga in standing position and then continued it with sitting and
sleeping position and ended with Pranayams. We became aware about
various facts of doing Yoga and its benefits. It was wonderful
experience of doing yoga in early morning with cloudy atmosphere. All the
students have enjoyed the session and we have completed our celebration with Shanti
path, which suggests peace of mind, body, soul and whole world.
