Jain Vishva Bharati London
Next Sunday 21 June 2015, there will be no program at Kenton.
Instead Respected Samaniji Pratibha Pragyaji will be presenting at the UN International Yoga Day at Alexandra Palace, London N22 7AY at 11am.
June 21 was declared as the International Day of Yoga by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 2014.
The declaration of this day came after the call for the adoption of 21 June as International Day of Yoga by PM Narendra Modi during his address to UN General Assembly on September 27, 2014 wherein he stated:
"Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness within yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."
Narendra Modi further stated that "Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being." [9] In suggesting June 21, which is the Summer Solstice, as the International Day of Yoga, Narendra Modi had said that the date is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and has special significance in many parts of the world.[10]
Respected Samaniji will talk on Jain meditation in particular on Preksha Meditation.
You are all requested to register for the event (otherwise entry will not be permitted) and be seated by 10.30am. This is a free event and kindly inform your friends and family if they wish to attend.
