Prime Minister Narendra Modi said yoga is a necessity for a better future of the world while addressing International Yoga Day celebrations at Kolkata’s iconic Red Road on Sunday. Speaking on the theme “Yoga for Healthy Ageing,” Modi said yoga helps people remain flexible, energetic and mentally strong as they grow older. The Prime Minister urged people to make yoga a part of their daily routine rather than celebrating it only once a year. He said yoga promotes physical health, mental wellness and inner peace. Modi also paid tribute to Bengal’s spiritual icons, including Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda, for helping spread yoga’s message across the world.
