Union minister Amit Shah, CM take part in Yoga Day celebrations

At the Vadnagar event, over 2,000 persons created a world record by performing ‘Bhujangasana’, a reclining backbend posture also known as cobra pose, the CM said on X.

“A proud moment for Gujarat and India. I am happy to share that 2,121 people performed ‘Bhujangasana’ simultaneously at the picturesque Sharmistha Lake in Vadnagar, creating a Guinness World Record. Bhujangasana improves spinal flexibility, strengthens the back, and enhances lung capacity,” said the CM.

“Congratulations to the people of Gujarat for this world record ..The ancient town of Vadnagar – a confluence of spirituality, art, and culture, and the birthplace of PM Narendra Modi – witnessed a scene both serene and majestic, as yoga infused the space with ethereal grace,” the CM added.

In Ahmedabad city, Shah appealed to people to include Yoga in their daily routine. Shah was also joined by Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi, BJP MLAs Amit Thaker and Jitendra Patel among others. Shah, who is also a Member of Parliament from Gandhinagar constituency, also participated in an event to plant trees in Makarba area. Under Shah’s leadership, a campaign is on in Gandhinagar to make it the green constituency.

According to the CM, nearly 1.5 crore people joined the Yoga Day celebrations across the state on Saturday.

“After PM Modi appealed to countrymen to fight obesity, Gujarat has also resolved to make an obesity-free and healthy Gujarat. Thanks to the PM’s efforts, the ancient health heritage of Yoga and Pranayama has become a part of the daily lifestyle of people around the world,” said the CM.

“Regular yoga practice is very important for the health of the body and mind. If we take some time for yoga in the midst of a busy life, we can remain free from many diseases. Yoga is a priceless gift given by our sages. Yoga is not only about freedom from disease, but also leads to ultimate liberation through the spiritual path,” the CM said in another post on X.
