Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) - The Indian Consulate General in Bali Amarieet Singh Takhi said a mass yoga would held in this capital city of Bali to coincide with the World Yoga Day on June 21, 2015.

"Mass Yoga activities would be held at the Bajra Sandhi Renon square in Denpasar, expected to involve around 8,000 participants,"Amarieet Singh Takhi said here on Tuesday.

He said similar activities would also be held in other cities in the country such as Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya, to involve thousands of lovers of the Indian religious sport.

The mass yoga would be held at the same time not only in a number of cities in Indonesia but also all over the world under the auspice of the United Nations, he said.

Amarieet Singh Takhi said the mass yoga would involve various circles, from the government institutions to schools, and leading universities in Bali.

"I was just told that the planned activities are welcome enthusiastically by those regularly practice yoga in Bali, therefore, we believe the number of participants would exceed our earlier estimate," he said.

Yoga has become a universal activity to create physical and spiritual harmony.

"Yoga is not just a sport but it serves more to maintain balance in mind toward creation of peace spiritually and physically a dream of everybody in the world," Amarieet Singh Takhi said. (ADT)
