International Yoga Day and Surya Namaskar Yagna
Surya Namaskar Yagna was carried throughout January in the shakhas of Ontario to foster and encourage the spirit of yagna on others for the three weeks of this event. The event encourages the regular practice of Surya Namaskar as a commitment to one’s physical, and mental development. In a friendly competition, medals were awarded to the highest performers during the 3-week span of the event. Collectively, more than 100,000 surya Namaskars were performed throughout the Yagna.
On June 22, 2018, more than 140 residents of Regina participated in the celebration of International Day of Yoga organized by Veer Savarkar Shakha, Saskatchewan. Everyone was enthusiastic about learning yoga and meditation techniques and left feeling rejuvenated after the session.
