Desraj said yoga gives the message of ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’ (entire world one family) and by following this message, it can become the path to world peace. He suggested that yoga should be adopted as a subject in schools and colleges. There should be practical and theory exams in this subject, he said, adding that the governments should also cooperate in this work. He praised the present government at the Centre for promoting yoga.

In today’s time, due to hectic lifestyle, people suffer from many types of disorders and diseases, and yoga can help keep the body and mind healthy.
