International Yoga Day : ウィキペディア英語版
International Yoga Day

International Yoga Day, or Yoga Day, is celebrated on June 21 and was declared so by United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on December 11, 2014.〔(UN Declared 21st June as International Day of Yoga )〕 Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline that originated in India. The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his UN Address suggested the date of June 21 as it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and has special significance in many parts of the world.
== Origin ==
Prior to the UN declaration of June 21 as International Day of Yoga, formal and informal groups of yoga teachers and enthusiasts celebrated World Yoga Day on various other dates. It was in a conference organized at The Art of Living International Centre that a proposal for observing June 21 as the World Yoga Day was made.
The conference, titled ‘Yoga: A Science for World Peace’, was held December 4 and 5, 2011. It was organized by The Art of Living Foundation and S-VYASA University, Bengaluru jointly with Yoga Portuguese Confederation of Lisbon, Portugal. Though the idea of observing World Yoga Day originated in 2001, this was the first time yoga gurus from India were endorsing it in large numbers. A proclamation was signed for having UN and UNESCO declare June 21 as World Yoga Day. Avadhut H. H. Jagat Guru Dileepji Maharaj started World Yoga Day movement in New York since 1999. In 2007 he organized World Yoga Festival at the Consulate General of India, New York in order to make a mass movement around the world. On June 21, 2009 Guru Dileepji signed the agreement with Portuguese Confederation of Yoga to support the global movement of International Day of Yoga. On June 21, 2015 Guru Dileepji inaugurated the opening ceremony of the (World Yoga Community ) which is a not-for-profit organization in New York, USA. Vision of (World Yoga Community ) is to promote yogic teachings globally.
The declaration of this day came after the call for the adoption of June 21 as International Day of Yoga by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to UN General Assembly on September 27, 2014〔(UN should adopt an International Yoga Day: Modi )〕〔(PM Modi asks world leaders to adopt International Yoga Day )〕 wherein he stated:〔(Modi calls for Yoga Day in US General Assembly )〕
