डॉ. स्वामी भारत भूषण, अध्यक्ष, मोक्षायतन अंतरराष्ट्रीय योगाश्रम ने योग को दैनिक जीवन का हिस्सा बनाने के लिए प्रेरित करने और आईडीवाई 2026 में अपनी भागीदारी सुनिश्चित करने के लिए इंटरमिनिस्टीरियल कमेटी मीटिंग 2026 में अपने विचार रखें। उन्होंने कहा, "भारतीय ऋषि परंपरा का शाश्वत उद्घोष रहा है कि योग हर व्यक्ति के लिए राहत का मार्ग है—चाहे वह दुख-शोक से पीड़ित हो, जीवन-संग्राम में हारा-थका हो, अथवा कोई तपस्वी ही क्यों न हो। आज यह कथन पुनः सत्य सिद्ध हो रहा है। विश्व जब तनाव, संघर्ष और युद्ध की विभीषिका से गुजर रहा है, तब समूची मानवता आशा भरी दृष्टि से भारत की ओर देख रही है। वैचारिक दिशा और व्यावहारिक समाधान—दोनों ही स्तरों पर विश्व आज भारत के मार्गदर्शन की अपेक्षा कर रहा है।" @PMOIndia | @narendramodi | @mpprataprao | @moayush @secymoayush | @ccrhindia | @CCRAS_MoAyush | @DirectorCcryn | @AIIA_NDelhi | @mygovindia | @MyGovHindi @PTI_News @PIB_India @bharatyogaa
