Visakhapatnam: With a participation of 3.02 lakh, Visakhapatnam created history by gaining a place in Guinness World Records for the largest gathering for yoga in one place, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said. Appreciating ministers, district officials, public representatives and more importantly people of Visakhapatnam for their complete cooperation in making the 11th edition of the International Yoga Day a massive success, Naidu emphasised at a media conference that public cooperation is key to massive turnout. 'This is just the beginning of ambitious plans the NDA has in promoting public health and wellness to the next level,' the CM emphasised. With technology playing a crucial role in making the event a hassle-free affair, Naidu reiterated that the record participation could become a reality due to the incorporation of technology, including the introduction of QR code-based participant tracking system. With two Guinness World Records, including 22,122 tribal students performing Surya namaskarams on the eve of the International Yoga Day and for the largest gathering for yoga in one place on the IYD, the massive event gained entry into 21 World Book of Records. Sharing the statistics, Naidu stated that even as the cabinet ministers raised doubts when he called for a record breaking IYD celebrations, eventually, they reposed faith in his aspirations, extending support to the biggest endeavour organised ever in Visakhapatnam. 'Within a short span of time, Yogandhra-2025 garnered extensive support from across the people of Andhra Pradesh as they place trust in my leadership and are aware of the benefits yoga offers,' the Chief Minister stressed, adding that people volunteered happily for the event without any force. Recalling how people of Visakhapatnam refrained from bursting crackers when the CM called out for Diwali celebrations sans firecrackers when Hudhud cyclone left a trail of devastation in 2014, Naidu underlined, 'It is with the same spirit, Vizagites volunteered to make the IYD event a massive success.' About Prime Minister specially appreciating IT and Industries Minister Nara Lokesh's efforts in making yoga a true social celebration, including every section of society, Naidu stated that Lokesh succeeded in planning out 26 theme-based yoga events in a short span of time and his efforts caught the attention of the Prime Minister.

"Wisdom and appeal of yoga are both universal and timeless": BJP MP Tejasvi Surya
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 21 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Tejasvi Surya on Saturday applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his dedicated efforts in making yoga popular globally and stated that the wisdom and appeal of yoga were 'universal' and 'timeless'. He further stated that Yoga was not just India's soft power but also a living bridge between the ancient, modern and the rest of the world with India. 'The wisdom and appeal of yoga are both universal and timeless. I'm just returning from a multicountry delegation, the diplomatic outreach of Operation Sindoor and in all of these countries that we met, there was great enthusiasm and following for India's Yoga, Pranayama, and spiritual traditions. This is not just India's soft power, but it is also a living bridge between the ancient and the modern, between India and the rest of the world. Thanks to our Prime Minister's dedicated efforts, more than 180 countries are today observing International Yoga Day...' Surya told ANI. He further added that more than two thousand practitioners joined the celebrations of the International Yoga Day held in Bengaluru. 'Today, we had the opportunity to celebrate International Yoga Day here in Bengaluru South with more than 2 thousand practitioners of yoga. Many Consulate Generals from many countries who have their consulates in Bengaluru participated with us. Yoga is India's gift to the world,' he further stated. Lashing out at the opposition, the BJP MP questioned them if they had become puppets of the foreign agents. 'The questions that we must ask are not for the government but to the Congress Party, on where your loyalties lie?... Have they become puppets of foreign agents? Should we not place faith and trust in our institutions? This is the question we must be asking the Congress Party,' Surya further stated. He also stated that the Government of India had made it clear that the strikes launched on Pakistan were to send a message that no form of terror would be tolerated. 'Not once but on multiple occasions, the Government of India has made our position, the Prime Minister himself has made our position clear even in a telephonic conversation to the President of the United States. The factual matrix of Operations Sindoor, India's resolve to fight terror and India's commitment to solving our issues internally or at most bilaterally without the interference or intervention of any third party. We have also made it abundantly clear that the ceasefire was requested directly by the military officers of Pakistan talking to India's military officers, and because India did not want to escalate violence or war in any manner, India agreed to a ceasefire because we gave the message to Pakistan that terror in any form will not be tolerated...' he further stated.
