An idea shouldn't be rejected only because it's ancient: PM on Yoga

February 24, 2017 20:14

After unveiling the 112-feet-tall statue of 'Adiyogi' Lord Shiva in Coimbatore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Yoga brings inner peace, which the world wants now.

"India has given the gift of Yoga to the world, by practising Yoga a spirit of oneness is created," PM Modi said.

"Rejecting an idea just because its ancient can be potentially harmful. Today, whole world wants peace, not only from wars and conflicts but peace from stress, and for that we have Yoga," he said.

He also released a book on 'Adiyogi' on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri.
