Yoga and spirituality - India's gift to the world

Yoga and spirituality are given tremendous respect all over the world today. Regardless of the country, people all over are rapidly adopting and integrating Yoga in their lives.

If you go to the city of Tromsø in Norway, which is the last point of the country closest to the Arctic Circle, where the sun shines for just two months in a year, even there, people are practicing pranayama, and meditation. The chants of Om Namah Shivaya are resonating even in such a faraway place.

In the same way, the last city in the Southern hemisphere of the Earth – Tiera del Fuego, after which begins the Antarctic Circle; there also you will find thousands of people gathering together to chant Om Namah Shivaya and practicing the Sudarshan Kriya. This is India’s gift to the world.

India has made a place for itself in every home in the world (by virtue of Indian Spirituality). Our rishis (wise sages) have said, "krunavanto vishwam aryam". It means, "we will grow and spread glory through the world".

I see their dream turning into a reality today.
