Panaji: BJP Goa Medical Cell’s co-convenor Dr Sneha Bhagwat has said that it is “sad and unfortunate” that some things are being politicised even up to the level of students’ well bring and public health.
“Yoga is for health , wellbeing , mental and emotional stability which is very much necessary right from student life,” she said, responding to Chodankar.
Bhagwat said that more then 193 countries have accepted yoga and more then 300 research papers are available in public domain which state that if one practices yoga even for 20 minutes per day the life expectancy and the quality of life can become better by 70 per cent and prevention of 90 per cent idiopathic diseases ( where exact cause is not known) can be prevented.
She said that some relate it to religion , some relate it to politics and some have also mentioned about as family rest .
“How much one can stoop , Foreign countries have mentioned it time and again that Yoga is gift to the world and here some elements are more worried about their own benefit and fame,” Bhagwat said.
Further she added that the circular by Education Department doesn’t say it is compulsory to attend in your school only , it only expects that you attend the yoga in any place close to you ,so that you embrace the power of healthy spirit and try to be fitter and better .
