"In the current COVID-19 crisis situation where it is not possible for people to come together in a physical space due to social distancing norms, we have planned a video blog contest named 'My Life, My Yoga'. In this contest, people have to upload a three-minute video in which they will share the effects of yoga on their lives. This will further enhance the credibility of Yoga and promote it in the world," he added.

He further said: "Yoga teachers from India have gone to 180 countries. The reason is that people want to learn Yoga and have accepted it as a credible system in their lives. Without a doubt, Yoga boosts the immunity of people."
