'International' Yoga

June 21 this year was special. Nature-wise, it was the Summer Solstice Day. Family-wise, it was the Father's Day. Community-wise, it was the Yoga Day. Arts-wise, it was the Music Day, Nations-wise, it was the Humanist day. For me personally, it was Papa's dearh anniversary.

Hence our blog on Saturday was about music. Yesterday, it was dedicated to Papa, and hence to fatherhood. Today, let us talk about yoga, and tomorrow about humanism.

The very air breathed yoga yesterday, what with the P.M's grand show at Kolkata, not to mention very many "world record" types online and offline. There were news after news inputs about the huge celebrations all over the world, not to forget in each college and every colony.

"Yoga" is a Sanskrit noun which comes from "yuj" which means to join. Actually, hence, "yoga", of which there are many types, means joining of the body and soul. It is a forever practice.
