CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA - 2017

On the occasion of the international day of YOGA, on dated 21/06/2017, we celebrated the day by organizing a vast programme based on YOGA practice in Sultanpur, UTTAR PRADESH, India. We believe that education does not mean mere imparting of knowledge or facts but it encompasses an all round development of an individual. So as scouts, we have been taking all initiatives to accomplish this. The celebration of International Yoga Day as declared by United Nations was highly an exuberant event with the buoyant and enthusiastic participation of the large number of people. The heavy rains that lashed the city did not dampen the spirit of all. We organized a bunch of activities for all ages ranging from asanas, pranayam to Suryanamaskar. The participants stretched their arms, bent their legs, rolled their neck and twisted every sinew in their body with greater dexterity, in a spectacular synchronicity with English and Hindi instructions. Vrikshasana, Parvatasana, Padmasana, Vajrasana were the asanas, to name a few, performed on the occasion. The main attraction of the day was the performance of Suryanamaskar in which co ordination of body and mind is very important. Jila Basik Shiksha Adhikari Mr. Koustubh Kumar Singh, in his inaugural address opined, “Yoga, an ancient Art and Science of health and harmony have vast potential for physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health of every human being.
