Yoga got a strong leg up on the world stage when Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for observing an International Yoga Day, describing the ancient science as Indias gift to the world. Modis unexpected reference to yoga during in his UN General Assembly speech came when he was talking about climate change and going back to basics. Yoga is not just about fitness or exercise, it is about changing ones lifestyle, Modi said, plugging for ancient practice that was introduced to the west by Modis spiritual inspiration, Swami Vivekananda. Yoga is enjoying rising popularity in the United States and has now become a multi-billion dollar business, but its link to India is often understated. Modis public reference on the world stage to Indias gift is possible meant to remind international audience of this link. https://youtube/watch?v=kPEB-6eRssA
