In Mumbai, among the major government institutions that participated were the Western Naval Command, Central Railways, IRCTC.

Reflecting on the significance of yoga and its relevance in today’s world, Sadhguru shared on social media platform X: “The International Day of Yoga is a reminder that what we call Yoga is not a philosophy, an ideology, a belief system or a religion. This is the science and technology for inner wellbeing. Whatever your religion, race, caste, creed, gender, these technologies render you to optimal existence – to peak performance in body, mind, emotion, intelligence and energies and above all, it will unlock the potential of the genius that is in every human being.”
