The International Yoga Day 2025 is set to become a milestone in that journey—a testament to visionary leadership, people’s participation, and India’s ancient wisdom finding modern expression.
International Yoga Day 2025 will be remembered not just for the records it sets but for the collective spirit it embodies.
