International Yoga Day: Record-Breaking Cobra Poses in India

In a striking demonstration of cross-cultural unity and health advocacy, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj extolled Prime Minister Narendra Modi's influential push for global recognition of yoga practices, which began with the proposal for International Yoga Day in 2014 at the United Nations.

Celebrating the 11th International Yoga Day at Delhi's Purana Qila, Swaraj participated alongside yoga enthusiasts under the tutelage of Yogacharya Tanmay Gaud. She underscored the significant role yoga plays in fostering physical, mental, and spiritual harmony, drawing from the depths of Indian philosophy.

Highlighting the theme, 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health,' Swaraj articulated the Prime Minister's vision for aligning humanity with nature, transitioning from personal peace to global tranquility. Meanwhile, the event saw Guinness World Records set in Gujarat's Vadnagar, where 2121 participants held the cobra pose, validating yoga's widespread appeal and importance.
