June 21 marks the International Yoga Day. On that occasion today yoga exhibition has been organized at Moscow Cinema, which will last until June 14. It is the second time such a photo-exhibition has been organized in Yerevan. “Ahead of the symbol of the day, we have started with the photo-exhibition and have planned a number of events on June 21 in Tumanyan Park. In this way we are trying to raise interest towards yoga among Armenians, explain to the people what the yoga is in reality. At present India highlights the importance of spread of yoga. That is a healthy lifestyle; yoga makes people’s mind and soul healthy, brings mental harmony and is very important for formulation of healthy society. It is very widespread in India and that’s why we want to spread yoga also in Armenia and share it with the people,” Yogeshwar Sangwan, newly appointed Ambassador of India to Armenia, told “A+”. Ambassador says he is also engaged in yoga. He presented details. “The type of yoga I am engaged in is called Kriya yoga, it gives a person inner peace and happiness.” “A1+” also asked the Ambassador about the prospects of construction of Silk road with India and China, the issue, which was discussed also during the EEU intergovernmental council session held in Yerevan on May 20. “Before arriving in Armenia, I worked as Deputy Ambassador in the Embassy of India in Iran. In Iran I spoke to the Armenian Ambassador and he told me about that project. I don’t know many details, but we are glad to discuss it, and, if it is possible, to cooperate and implement that project.”
