Is this right approach to yoga diwas?
An inter collegein 206 Rajendra Nagar, Lucknow, which exists bang in the midst of the residential colony, kept some of its students and staff--- including girl students--- in the college the ENTIRE NIGHT yesterday for Yoga Day preparations for the rehearsals today in Rama Devi Ambedkar Park. The students were exhausted. When we asked the college principal and other staff members of the sanity of this step, they remained quiet but did not allow the students to go home. One of them did say that the students would have a long day ahead on Monday as well and would have to walk a lot. While the staff, including teachers and even drivers, could be seen sipping hot tea to revive themselves, the students were being exploited. Is this not an illegal act? I an sure our PM did not have this ordeal in mind for the students when he thought of Yoga Diwas celebrations on this mega scale. It is not only illegal but violation of human rights, exploitation of students and also against legal norms of behaviour in a residential colony! As it is, this college, which has just been given the degree college status, exists in sheer violence of law, in a colony where only two storey houses can be built, it has a five-6 story building that they got constructed on a resident house they bought saying they would live there. There is no parking provision, no proper exit/entry, an old generator set keeps polluting the environment but they keep getting approvals for all illegal activities! This time they have beaten every possible limit! Keeping girl students on college promises the entire night for rehearsals! Hope someone out there is listening! more

Yoga is damn necessary in life if you want to keep yourself fit and fine. You have to spare at least a day for it to bring awareness in the people. People are in queue at hospital to spend money and time for small diseases to the Drs then why to relax from so many diseases with free of cost with the help of yoga? I swear I am free from fever and cold since one year with yogas, pranayams and exercises. more

Yes. We can spare a whole day for yoga. There is great importance of yoga in our day to day life. Yoga can remove our small troubles related to mussle pain, backache, joint pain, improve our blood circulation and keep us fit and fine. We should perform yoga at least for half an hour daily. more
