“This whole universe starts from our own body and soul. The universe starts from us. And, yoga makes us conscious of everything within us and builds a sense of awareness. Millions of people with inner peace will create an environment of global peace. That is how yoga can connect the people and countries, and how yoga can become a problem solver for all of us,” PM Modi added.
The main event of the eighth International Yoga Day began at the Mysuru Palace premises in Karnataka, with hundreds of people participating. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and others were also present.
