Good morning. Namaskar!

Happy International Yoga Day! The Indian Embassy is delighted to participate in this great yoga celebration in Campo Grande. Thank you, Senator Nelsinho Trad, for supporting this relationship through the Brazil-India friendship and Congressional International Relations groups. I also thank the government of Mato Grosso do Sul for welcoming and spreading this Yoga practice to the people of your state.

This year we celebrate eleven years since the UN recognized June 21st as International Yoga Day. This ancient practice that seeks to balance mind, body, and spirit is very well received in Brazil. We are honored to offer yoga classes in public schools in Campo Grande.

I hope you enjoy International Yoga Day in Campo Grande and that more and more people can learn about and benefit from Indian wisdom.

My best wishes. Thank you. Dhanyavad. Namaskar!
