Narendra Modi Performs Hindu Hijinks on Yoga Day in Lucknow
On the occasion of International Day of Yoga – 2017, the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi today participated in a mass Yoga demonstration event in Lucknow.
Modi – who is a Hindu – conveyed his greetings from Lucknow to all those joining the Yoga Day celebrations across India. He said that today, Yoga has become a part of many people’s lives and Yoga has connected the world with India.
As nearly 80% of the 1.3 billion people of India are Hindus, it becomes a virtual compulsion for all political parties to woo Hindu voters. Politicians, therefore, play all types of tricks to bind Hindus with a common thread. Yoga is one of them.

Yoga being a passive exercise makes you lazy and lethargic, although modern Yogis try to falsely convince themselves that they are getting healthier. Hindu Sanyasis in ancient India never performed Yoga as a physical exercise. They adopted it as a mind-control method, which was part of a series of actions toward self-discipline and selflessness.
In fact, self-denial is a prerequisite to perform Yoga. In the current world full of greed and selfishness, Yoga is an utterly useless practice and therefore it will be difficult to find any person around you who is eligible to perform Yoga.

Earlier, welcoming the Prime Minister to Lucknow, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, said that Yoga is a part of our tradition and it integrates us.
Urging everyone to make Yoga a part of their lives, Modi said that Yoga is about health assurance, and it is not even expensive to practice.
