<p>Ahead of the much-awaited Yoga Day celebrations, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) President Csaba Kőrösi said that all Guinness Records would be broken when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads the event at UN headquarters in New York.</p>

<p>Speaking to WION, Kőrösi said that the yoga session is expected to witness a massive attendance with leading personalities and envoys from at least 180 countries participating in the event.</p>

<p>“I think we are very close to breaking the Guinness Record tomorrow (June 21)&nbsp;while doing yoga at UN headquarters and around New York and at the same time with the largest number of people.”</p>

<p>Describing the importance of doing yoga, the UNGA chief said that the ancient Indian practice has a valuable lesson to teach humans in modern times.</p>

<p>“What yoga tells us all—though I am not a good practitioner—is that the forces and energies out there in the universe and in us are the same. And these energies try to achieve the same balance.”</p>

<p>“There’s an important message for all of us doing yoga: non-violence, non-greed, not overusing resources and persevering on what we have from our ancestors, and keeping everything in balance.”</p>

<h2><strong>Modi to lead unique session</strong></h2>

<p>On June 21 (US time), PM Modi will lead a unique yoga session to commemorate the 9th International Day of Yoga at the UN Headquarters.</p>

<p>Prominent individuals from the UN and envoys from across the world are expected to partake.</p>

<p>This will be the first time that the Indian leader will lead the yoga session from the United Nations General Assembly podium ever since Modi got the international organisation to mark June 21 as Yoga Day.</p>

<p>On Monday, India’s permanent representative to the United Nations Ruchira Kamboj told WION that it is one of the most anticipated events.</p>

<p>There are three things why I think this year’s yoga day is significant. First and foremost is the very inclusive aspect of it, because all 195 countries are expected to participate in it. This event sort of unites people with different cultural backgrounds. Second is the alignment of yoga with the UN sustainable development goals with an emphasis on health and well-being, as yoga aligns well with SDG 3 (health), and SDG 4 (Education).”</p>

<p>“And with its emphasis on mindfulness, and being very conscious of oneself and the environment, it is also related to SDG Goal 12 (mindful consumption and production) and SDG Goal 13 (environment),” Kamboj told WION.</p>
