समृद्धि से नहीं, योग से आएगी असली खुशहाली: सद्गुरु – international yoga day 2026 yoga brings true happiness sadhguru instead of prosperity tvisu
In the year 2015, the United Nations declared 21 June as International Yoga Day. For the first time in the history of the United Nations, 177 countries co-sponsored this resolution. Before this, no UN resolution had ever received such support. Its importance is more than just some people bending and twisting their bodies. This has come at a critical juncture in human history. The science of yoga is more relevant today than ever.
We always believed that if there is prosperity then people will be healthy. But today you will see that the most prosperous countries suffer from the most diseases. For example, people in the United States have a lot of nutrition options. But they are spending more than five trillion dollars every year on health care. This kind of expenditure can sink a country. But unfortunately other countries are also rapidly moving on this path. As economic prosperity comes, many types of diseases start increasing in their population.
The comforts and luxuries that our generation is enjoying today were never enjoyed by any generation before. Yet we cannot claim that we are the most joyful or loving generation in history. Many people are living in constant states of stress and anxiety. Some people are suffering the pain of their failure. But the irony is that many people are suffering the consequences of their success. Some people are unhappy with their limitations while many people are unhappy with their freedom. This is where yoga can play an important role.
Yoga is the science of inner happiness
Yoga is a technique. A tool by which people can turn within themselves and create their own happiness. Your happiness will not come from outside. Either you make it yourself or you don’t. This is the basic principle of yoga. Like there is science and technology for external happiness. Similarly, science and technology also exist for inner happiness.
Incorporating yoga into everyone’s life will provide a simple yet powerful process to enhance one’s health and well-being. It is not just about physical health, because with the modernization of the world, mental illnesses are also spreading rapidly. Human interactions and relationships are breaking down, causing people to break down mentally and emotionally. People are restless and troubled and whatever methods they are adopting to manage their inner turmoil have helped to some extent. But they have not found any permanent solution. So, it is a very natural thing to look towards yoga.
The specialty of yoga is that once you learn its practice, you do not need anyone’s help, any special place or any equipment. You can do it wherever you are. The science of yoga is a tremendous gift to human well-being.
What is the true meaning of yoga?
The word “yoga” literally means unity. What is this unity about? It is a longing within humans to become ‘one’ with something or someone. And this longing is expressed in a million different ways. If you try for union at the physical level then it is called sexuality. If you try to achieve unity through emotions then it is called love. If you try to achieve unity through your mental thinking it is unfortunately labeled as greed, ambition, winning or perhaps just shopping. If you strive for that unity consciously through your energy, then we call it yoga.
Yoga is a science and technique that provides you with the means to transcend the physical dimension and experience unity with existence.
spread the message
It is unbelievable that today heads of countries are talking about yoga for the first time. Governments are investing money to spread it. This is a big thing because we are looking at happiness as a science. Not as a belief, not as something that happens to you by chance. We are not looking to the stars to determine our well-being. We are looking at a scientific process for consciously creating happiness. People holding important and responsible positions are now beginning to understand that there is a need to turn inwards. For the first time in the last few hundred years, heads of state are talking about the inner well-being of human beings instead of just talking about the economy, military and other aspects of the country. it ‘international yoga day‘ is the result of being declared.
On this 21st June, we want to spread this message to the people at the international level and introduce people to the depth of Yoga. Basically its purpose is to establish that every person can create happiness for himself. They do not need to wait for any other power for prosperity. The only way to experience true happiness is to turn inward. This is the meaning of yoga. Neither above, nor outside, but inside. The only way out is to turn inside.
