Yoga has huge significance for a stress-free, healthy life: PM Deuba

Kathmandu: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that yoga has an important role in developing a stress-free and peaceful mind and a disease-free healthy body.

He said this while addressing a program organized here today by the Embassy of India, Kathmandu on the occasion of the International Day of Yoga. 

The PM said, “Regular yoga practice instils internal energy and discipline as well as helps develop positive qualities including efficiency in work performance, motivation, and self-knowledge.

PM Deuba described yoga not only as a form of physical exercise but also as a scientific lifestyle and way of living to be adopted while observing definite rules, methods, and processes.

Stating that the Himalayan region is known since historical times as the place of origin of yoga as the Himalayan mountain range is the holy land of meditation of the hermits and sages, the Prime Minister believed yoga, which also has a direct link to our Vedic civilization, would further the ties, brotherhood and goodwill and tolerance between Nepal and India.

The Prime Minister said that physical exercise, yoga medication, and treatment are not only physically beneficial but are also beneficial and useful spiritually.

He expressed the conviction that the tradition of observing the International Day of Yoga will give us all positive vibes and energy.
