Npnews24 online : Baba Ramdev is in full preparation mode to celebrate International Yoga Day on June 21. He has also claimed one who does yoga, they may seem acche din.

Ramdev praised PM Modi for popularizing yoga but not before taking a dig at the Gandhi family. He said, “ Modi ji publicly yog karte hai. Luke chupe Nehruji aur Iniraji yog karte the. Unke aane wale pidi ne yog nahgi kiya isliye unki rajniti gadbad ho gayi. Yog karne walo ke acche din aate hai (Modi ji does yoga publicly. Also Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi used to do yoga surreptitiously.

PM Modi is known as a yoga enthusiast and had last year released a nearly two-minute-long video of him doing yoga on the lawns of his Lok Kalyan Marg home. The video which went viral was part of a fitness challenge.

Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature – Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practice

Many shared pictures of Jawaharlal Nehru doing the sirsasana (headstand), a very difficult yoga posture. Speaking about the benefit of the posture, Nehru wrote in his autobiography, “The slightly comic position increased my good humour and made me a little more tolerant of life’s vagaries.”

Indira Gandhi was also trained in yoga and used to practice it regularly. It is well known that she was trained in yoga by her spiritual guru Dhirendra Brahmachari who wielded considerable clout because of this.
