It promotes unison amongst the people, and concord between the man and the nature. It encourages the holistic approach to health, harmony and happiness. Yoga ensures physical and mental well being of the people, who pursue it.
It is on account of this unique value of Yoga that it has been gaining popularity throughout the World, irrespective of caste, creed, region, religion or race. We need to integrate Yoga as part of our daily routine. It carries the rare boon of hope for facing the contemporary mental and physical stresses with ease and comfort, by one and all, he said.

For Healthier lifestyle, Healthier Arunachal Pradesh, Healthier Nation and Healthier world, LET US ALL PRACTISE YOGA, the Governor appealed in his message.
