Am vegan, wake up at 3.30 am for yoga: CJI

New Delhi, February 22

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Thursday inaugurated an AYUSH Holistic Wellness Centre on the Supreme Court premises for judges, their immediate families and the court staff.

“For me, this is a satisfying moment. I have been working on this ever since I took over as the Chief Justice of India. I am personally a proponent of Ayurveda and holistic lifestyle,” the CJI said after inaugurating the state-of-the-art facility.

An MoU for establishing, operationalising and providing expert services at the wellness centre was signed between the Supreme Court and the All India Institute of Ayurveda in the presence of Minister of AYUSH Sarbananda Sonowal and Minister of State for AYUSH Munjpara Mahendrabhai.

Replying to a question, the CJI said, “I woke up at 3.30 this morning to do yoga and of course, I follow a vegan diet. For the last five months, I have been completely vegan and I am continuing it… But I try… and focus on a holistic pattern of life.”
