Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) joined the global celebrations of the 10th International Yoga Day with great zeal and collective spirit. The event, held at the University’s Football Ground, saw active participation from faculty members, research scholars, officers, and staff, highlighting the growing awareness of the importance of yoga in daily life.
Under the clear morning sky, participants gathered to perform a series of yoga asanas and breathing exercises, led by trained yoga instructors. The session began with a brief introduction to the significance of Yoga Day and the theme for this year, followed by warm-up exercises and a carefully curated sequence of yoga postures, including Surya Namaskar, pranayama, and meditation techniques.
Vice Chancellor of BGSBU, Prof. Akbar Masood, extended his greetings on the occasion and emphasized the relevance of yoga in promoting physical fitness, emotional balance, and inner peace in today’s fast-paced world. “Yoga is not merely a form of exercise, but a way of life that connects body, mind, and spirit. Its roots in Indian tradition make it a powerful tool for holistic well-being,” he said in his message.
The yoga session continued for over an hour and concluded with a collective meditation and a pledge to incorporate yoga into daily routines. Participants appreciated the initiative, noting how such events promote a culture of health and mindfulness across the campus.
The event was organized by the university administration in collaboration with local yoga practitioners and wellness experts. It reflected BGSBU’s commitment to supporting the mental and physical well-being of its academic community while embracing India’s rich heritage.
International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on June 21 to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga and to encourage people worldwide to adopt it as a lifestyle practice. The celebration at BGSBU stood as a testament to the university’s dedication to nurturing a balanced, healthy, and positive environment for learning and growth.
