00:00coffee and yoga it's such a combination with doesn't just refresh your mind but your body
00:24as well and to discuss that further who else better than the ambassador his excellency festival
00:30himself the ambassador of ethiopia to india and beautiful sanjana john also here ambassador i
00:37would definitely want to have a word with you first of all on this very concept of coffee and
00:42yoga and recognizing the power of both the gifts from india and ethiopia to the world oh yes both
00:49are cultural at the same time it has some spiritual touch and a kind of you do it individually the
00:57yoga but you do it collectively so it is at the same time together you address your lord your body
01:05and your spirit and in ethiopia coffee is a bit different it is like a pastime also a forum to
01:12exchange information and also guests passing by your neighborhood your village you have to give
01:19them coffee and ask them what's happening in their place and what they are expecting when they go down
01:25the river yeah so you give them information and you wash their legs and you give them water you give
01:31them food you give them coffee to get stronger all right otherwise the first thing in the morning is
01:37coffee and you have to do it with your village four five six families and you exchange information
01:44first from with your kids and wife how was last night and then you ask for the next door and you ask
01:52for the next house and you exchange information if there is any problem you solve there okay you go
01:58in between the husband and the wife the kids and the father you do it so it has that cultural element
02:04also it is a kind of exchange of information and to stay awake and it is to keep ourselves together
02:12and when i see now yoga here i'm new but the way they have done it i have seen it is both a universal
02:19thing and it is a connection between yourself your creator and your spirit and your body and it's also
02:26a part of exercise it tests your strength and how you stretch yourself how you yes both things
02:34it is wonderful so it is the contribution of india to the world and the coffee it is the contribution
02:42of ethiopia to the world so the people madame and my deputy ambassador when they come to bring this to
02:49merge these two together i'm well i'm very happy it's amazing as we all know our honorable crime minister
02:56narendra modiji has propagated the last decade bringing the best of our culture yoga vasudeva
03:04when we say that that's what narendra modiji has brought to the world and today of course the
03:10brotherhood with ethiopia we bought coffee with yoga which is something very unique we started this 10
03:16years ago at the un in new york and in fact i was there when the first yoga stamp was released and here we
03:23are 10 years later with this amazing integration of diplomacy and bringing the world together
03:29unifying thanks to our prime minister narendra modiji's vision of bringing the best to the world
03:36and now coffee with yoga for the world they have given the chance to come here and take the session
03:43i have read this title coffee and yoga yeah so they told us coffee has started from the ethiopia yes
03:49side yeah so on the daily basis person usually drink coffee but we'll never refer coffee is good for
03:57the even cardiac region also but yoga is good for your mind your calmness level if you do regular practice
04:03of yoga so you will be charged and if you need instant charge you can drink a small cup of coffee

04:24people in the country?
04:25Do you feel a good feeling?
04:26Yes sir.
04:27Do you need to follow all of these people in India?
04:31Yoga is an art of living.
04:33Everyone should do it.
04:35It's not only for one person or disease related.
04:38It's for everyone.
04:40Where do you get inspiration for these things?
04:42I didn't find myself.
04:45But when I saw that it's more than exercise.
04:48Yoga is connected to yourself.
04:50And we are feeling very good.
04:52Our daily performance is better.
04:54So I connect with yoga and continue with yoga.
04:57Continue with yoga.
04:58Another young talent here.
05:00Your name?
05:01My name is Khushi Mittal.
05:03My name is MSc student.
05:05You are a MSc student.
05:06Okay Khushi.
05:07You are connected to yoga.
05:10Our 40 and beyond people don't exercise.
05:15So what do you tell us about yoga?
05:18Why should we do it?
05:19And how do we do it?
05:20For your daily healthy living you should do yoga.
05:24Because as we see this hustle bustle life.
05:27So we have to do yoga.
05:29Yoga is the art of living as he said.
05:31Right.
05:32So you should follow yoga.
05:33One final question.
05:34One month down the line we have international yoga.
05:38What is the plan?
05:39Ministry of Ayush are doing at the higher level of their pace.
05:43Because from the last 10 years they have done brilliant and huge programs.
05:48So now this time they are going to do the 10 programs almost in a line.
05:52Like one is a Harith Yoga.
05:53This kind of 10 programs they are going to design.
05:55And we are going to see in coming weekends.
05:58Or coming weeks.
05:59Coffee and yoga are one things which go hand in hand origin wise.
06:03This coffee goes with Ethiopia.
06:05And yoga is a gift to the world from India.
06:08So we are doing this series of international day of yoga and Harith Yoga events.
06:13With Ministry of Ayush.
06:14So this is one of the events we are doing in here.
06:18Another we have done in multiple locations.
06:21One in Atmanthan.
06:22One in Goa.
06:23One in IHM.
06:25And forthcoming we have been doing Yoga Sangam also with Ministry of Ayush.
06:30Just to commemorate the international yoga day.
06:33And as for the coffee you have to know everybody loves coffee.
06:36Everybody loves yoga as well since it's become a daily practice of life.
06:40Absolutely.
06:41So combinedly saying that's go well hand in hand.
06:44And both give energy to the body.
06:46Yes.
06:47Body and mind.
06:48Body and mind.
06:49Ministry of Ayush.
06:50Very important.
06:51Well respected.
06:52And also possibly completing almost a decade.
06:55Because I remember 2014 when Prime Minister Modi came to power 2015.
06:59The World International Yoga Day also started.
07:02And then Ministry of Ayush also came into being.
07:04So how important do you think this gift.
07:07The soft power that India has demonstrated to the world is.
07:10And vis-a-vis the Ministry of Ayush also.
07:12Yes.
07:13We started way long back when the lockdown happened.
07:16And Virtual Yoga used to happen.
07:18Right.
07:19So with the first day of the happening we are the Ministry of Ayush.
07:22Doing this yoga.
07:23And seeing the decades it has happened.
07:26The answer is in itself.
07:28Because of the feedback of the people.
07:30The kind of response we have gathered from internationally worldwide acknowledged bodies.
07:37So this activity is going at a good pace.
07:39Okay.
07:40Lovely.
07:41Payal thank you so much for speaking to One India.
07:43We extend our heartiest wishes to you.
