Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to lead the celebrations on the banks of the Dal Lake, but the event had to be shifted indoors due to incessant rain.
Addressing a gathering at the 10th International Yoga Day event at the SKICC in Srinagar, the PM said yoga has helped people realise that their welfare is linked to the welfare of the world around them. "The world is looking at yoga as a powerful agent of global good. Yoga helps us live in the present moment without the baggage of the past," he said.
