Shri Nadda was accompanied by Health Ministers of several nations in the Yoga session and more than a hundred participants.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Nadda said that Yoga, the “ancient Vedic gift to the world”, has the ability to bring together the body, soul and mind for a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, including the physical, mental and spiritual realms of the human being.
“Yoga is not just a set of exercises. Rather, Yoga is a philosophy of discipline and meditation that transforms the spirit and makes the individual a better person in thought, action, knowledge and devotion,” the Health Minister elaborated.
Minister said that the problems of modern lifestyles are well known. Decline in communicable diseases has been accompanied by a gradual rise in the prevalence of chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) which now contribute to 60% of mortality.
He added that Yoga, an ancient practice of India, can contribute to resilience against Non-Communicable Diseases.
The knowledge of Yoga can be very effectively used for preventing and controlling many of the lifestyles diseases. “Major Non-communicable Diseases like Cancer, Diabetes, CVD, Stroke, and COPD are to a great extent by unhealthy lifestyle.
If the body is a temple of the mind, yoga creates a beautiful temple,” Shri Nadda stated.
