Prime Minister Narendra Modi, three years ago, had pursued the United Nations to declare June 21 to be marked as International Yoga Day.
This is the third edition of Yoga Day, which started in 2015 and is annually celebrated worldwide on Jun 21.
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'yuj', yoga is union of the individual consciousness or soul with the Universal Consciousness or Spirit.
The practice is 10,000 years old and originated in ancient India.
Traces of it can be found in the Rig Veda, the world's oldest surviving literature.
