International Yoga Day 2025: PM Narendra Modi Leads Celebrations from Visakhapatnam

On June 21, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the 11th International Yoga Day celebrations from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, highlighting yoga’s power to bring peace and unity in challenging times.

📣 Addressing the nation, he extended warm wishes to people across the globe. This year’s theme — #YogaForOneEarthOneHealth — reflects the deep connection between human well-being and the environment. “Yoga awakens us to this interconnectedness,” he said, “guiding us toward unity with the world.”

🌍 Modi spoke of yoga’s universal appeal — from astronauts in space 🚀 to sailors on Navy ships ⚓, and even visually impaired individuals reading yoga texts in Braille. “Whether at the Sydney Opera House, the summit of Everest, or in the vast ocean — the message is clear: Yoga belongs to everyone.”

🤝 “Yoga is both personal and collective. It transforms our journey from ‘Me’ to ‘We’,” said the PM. “In times of global unrest, yoga acts as a pause button — helping us breathe, restore balance, and become whole again.”
