Bal Yoga Mitra Mandal (BYMM) Activities 2019

Bal Yoga Diwas

On 14 February, the Bal Yoga Diwas, the children’s yoga day, was celebrated with great joy at Paduka Darshan where over 1000 children and their parents had gathered for the occasion.

With kirtan, dance, yogasana and karate performance the children told the story of the movement’s 24 years of existence. The expressions of their skills, talents and natural self-confidence were a wonderful experience for the spectators to watch and listen to.

Six-year-old Prasiddhi from Chennai also gave a beautiful speech on yoga ecology and asked everyone to take the pledge to plant trees and protect nature. In his message Swami Niranjan said that while the world celebrates this day as Valentine’s Day, the children of BYMM celebrate it as Bal Yoga Diwas, as it is through yoga that one can imbibe the teaching of true love. He exhorted parents to impart positive samskaras to their children, so that they may become ideal citizens of the nation.
