Agartala, June 21 (UNI) Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Saturday urged the younger generation to practise yoga daily, as it helps to increase comprehension, relieves stress, and promotes a healthy mind and body, which in turn leads to a healthy life.
While addressing the 11th International Yoga Day celebrations at International Fair Ground here, Dr Saha recalled that it was September 2014 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed before the United Nations to celebrate June 21 as International Yoga Day.
This proposal received support from 177 countries, and since 2015, the day has been observed globally. The saints have practised yoga for centuries, and through yoga, one can truly understand oneself. Knowing oneself is a significant task, and yoga enables that, Dr Saha said.
