00:00Today we had the opportunity of celebrating International Yoga Day here in Bengaluru South
00:06with more than 2,000 practitioners of yoga.
00:12Many consulate generals from many countries who have their consulates in Bengaluru participated with us today.
00:22Yoga is India's gift to the world.
00:25And the wisdom and appeal of yoga is both universal and timeless.
00:31I am just returning from a multi-country delegation, the diplomatic outreach of Operation Sindhu.
00:39And in all of these countries that we met, there was great enthusiasm and following for India's yoga, pranayama,
00:48our knowledge traditions and our spiritual traditions.
00:51This is not just India's soft power, but it is also a living bridge between the ancient and the modern,
00:59between India and the rest of the world.
01:02Thanks to our Prime Minister's dedicated efforts, more than 180 countries are today observing International Yoga Day.
01:11Yoga has become a mantra for lifestyle, not just for Indians, but for humanity as a whole.
01:20I take this opportunity to wish all of the world, all people in the world,
01:28the message of oneness, the message of peace, a message of health
01:34and a message of one earth, one health on International Yoga Day.
