Argentina is one of the nations with the highest per capita quantity of Yoga practitioners in Latin America. On Sunday June 20, 2021, the Embassy of India in Argentina, closed a week-extended festivities connected to the International Yoga Day (IDY). A 3 hour extended programme on the premises of the Embassy brought collectively well-known Argentine artists, good exponents and institutions of Yoga in the nation.
Cordoba, the second biggest city in Argentina, is celebrating IDY organized by the Honorary Consulate of India and the Yoga Forum to which I belong and more than fifty yoga teachers. This was performed practically and folks performed Sun Salutation, recited mantras and also performed Indian classical dance. Everyone stated that this practice of Yoga helped them in these tricky occasions when Argentina was in the midst of dealing with COVID-19.
Yoga, the study of philosophy and the adore and respect that Argentines have for the Hindu culture are powerful ties that unite us. This extends to the political and financial regions.
History of IDY
For IDY, folks about the world are all set to take out their yoga mats and start off working out, but they could possibly not be conscious that yoga goes back centuries.
The concept of IDY was initially proposed by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 27, 2014, throughout his speech at the UN General Assembly, exactly where a resolution to establish June 21 as International Yoga Day was introduced by India’s Ambassador, Asoke Kumar Mukerji.

Overall, it received help from 177 nations, the highest quantity of co-sponsors for any UN resolution, proclaiming June 21 as the International Yoga Day.

Coronavirus is identified to attack the respiratory method and impair the functioning of the lungs therefore placing the patient’s life at danger. When you practice pranayama (Yoga breathing workouts) and if performed on a regular basis more than a period of time guarantees that your body requires more oxygen. This enhanced intake of oxygen brought on by the enhanced capacity of the lungs aids the body to heal in a more quickly way.
As I have written in my book `The Infinite in a Sound’ (The book was inspired upon my experiences throughout my remain in India), “in the West individualism and immediacy prevail. On the other hand, in India they have developed a spirit of community and patience that I take as an example. This is tied to the philosophy of the concept that each thing is part of the whole, and what one does individually affects the whole. Man is not an island but part of everything. A healthy society is a solid society. They have the wise idea that a humanity without solidarity does not deserve to be called humanity”.
