Back | Print

The Second International Yoga Day was inaugurated in Bern on 18th June. There was a large and enthusiastic turnout. Prime Minister's message was read out. The message of peace and universality was appreciated. Yoga belongs to all humanity and promotes peace and harmony with the environment and other living creatures. It also promotes spirituality universally. Doctors in Switzerland advocate Yoga as a healing force for terminal and chronic diseases. Its power for good is unmatched.

Thanks to all for participating. The yoga sessions propounded by the Yoga Gurus Mr. Wilfred Schichl, Ms. Meena Mailhart, Mr. Suresh, Mr. Sushil Bhattacharya & Mrs. Ruth Waefler Bhattacharya, Mr. Aruno, and Mr Gurdeepak Singh continued through the day. All the sessions were well attended.

After the end of the Yoga Day at 1530 hrs, a Kathak dance performance illustrating the yoga inspired poses was performed by Gauri and Meera (www.priscilla-bruelhart.comand www.meerafannykathak.com), exponents of classical Kathak who have studied their art under Birju Maharaj.
