Himachal Pradesh Governor Acharya Devvrat on Wednesday stressed on the need for making yoga an integral part of life. He was addressing a public gathering on the Ridge on International Yoga Day and the training session of yoga and meditation training was conducted by Urmila Singh, former governor of the state.

He said our sages, while contemplating the mountains, compiled this science and gave the Yoga to the world which not only balances the soul, mind and intellect but also gives the feeling of happiness and connects the soul with the divine.

This practice is gaining worldwide recognition as a physical exercise. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core. It heals the one from within, he said.

The governor stressed on making it a routine activity to evade negative energy in life. He said that Yoga enhances mental and physical well-being of a person as it is related with nature and one who connects to nature is mentally and physically more healthy.
