Did you know June 21 came to be recognised as International Yoga Day now?

The first Yoga Day celebrations held in 2015 at Raj Path in New Delhi. Modi, along with other dignitaries, created two Guinness World Records.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the tenth annual International Yoga Day celebrations in Srinagar on June 21. The Prime Minister has taken the lead in extolling the advantages and benefits of yoga, and lent the weight of his office to the popularisation of this practice.

Although yoga has long been recognised as India's great gift to the global culture of wellness, the official recognition by the United Nations came after a push by Modi in 2014.
