He also said that Yoga was India’s greatest legacy, its most glorious gift to the world and the massive participation of people from all over the world on International Yoga Day celebrations was a testament to the fact that the world has accepted Yoga and was celebrating it.

“Yoga could indeed serve as a force for unity in the world. It omotes physical wellbeing and inspires spiritual and intellectual awakening,” he said, adding that yoga has nothing to do with religion.

The Vice President said an understanding of the underlying theory and Philosophy of Yoga was essential for any practitioner to appreciate yoga in its true sense.

Expressing concern over the increase of lifestyle diseases like cardiovascular ailments, diabetes, hypertension, asthma and other respiratory diseases as well as cancers, Naidu said that highly stressful work places combined with the rise in environmental pollution was playing havoc with our health.

“Good health is an essential precondition to prosperity. Only a healthy nation could become a wealthy nation,” he said.
