- Best contribution to Yoga internationally.
- Best contribution to Yoga within India.

- Yoga is an inexpensive, simple way to improve your lives.
- I urge you not to wait, make yoga a part of your life.
- Just like you have made the mobile phone a part of your life, you can adopt yoga.
- Yoga can help us connect us to ourselves.
- It has become the centre of physical, mental, spiritual and social conscience.
- It is also becoming a major economic sector worldwide.
- Yoga is not just a guarantee of fitness, but also wellness.
- Yoga is for peace in this world, unity in the world, not a science of heavens.
- Yoga teaches us how to calm our mind and energise our body.
- And if this balance is achieved, then our body can become a medium for achieving all we want.
- Yoga doesn't discriminate among rich-poor, literate-illiterate.

- At this moment, in every corner of the world, people have joined this programme of Yoga.
- And all countries of the world have joined this programme according to their time.
- The UN is celebrating International Yoga Day all over the world.
- It was started last year on India's request.
- This day was picked because in many parts of the world June 21 is the longest day.
- This is the day when the earth is closest to the sun.
- We got the support of the entire world - developed countries developing countries.
- This is the day that is related to not just physical and mental health but also social health.
- This is a day of also the traditions of handed over to us by our ancestors
