One Sankalp, One Flow – Yog Setu

Today at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh, the “Yog Setu” programme beautifully embodied the essence of yoga as not just an exercise, but as a journey of the soul to the soul.  It became a sacred bridge connecting body, mind, and spirit, as well as individuals with their communities and culture.

HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji inspired everyone by saying, “Let us not limit yoga to Yoga Day. Make it a way of life. Recognise the light within you and become bridges of yoga—connecting peace, compassion, and unity.”

The programme began with a sacred lamp lighting ceremony, symbolising the light of yoga uniting all.  The open forum sparked enriching dialogue among seekers, teachers, and yoga lovers on the relevance and future of yoga.  A fun and insightful Yoga Quiz engaged the youth, and winners were honoured with special gifts.

The day concluded with the soulful Parmarth Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Mother Ganga, filling all hearts with peace and divine energy.

As a green blessing, all dignitaries were gifted Rudraksha saplings – symbols of faith and sustainability.

Yog Setu served as a powerful platform for youth and seekers to unite in the spirit of yoga, dialogue, and dharma.
