Yoga should be made broader in practice: PM Oli

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stressed on the need to bring yoga into wider use and practice.

At the self-awakening program organised by the Jeevan Vigyan Sanstha (Life Science Institute) for the federal parliamentarians today, he said that a yoga-based society helps in achieving peace, happiness and prosperity.

Prime Minister Oli also urged one and all to follow the discipline and make a positive change in the society.

“We should work with the sacred spirit that I do not engage in violence; I do not tell lies; I do not covet the rights and property of others; I do not involve in corruption,” said Prime Minister Oli, adding, “We should not be anarchic and ill-mannered, we should expand the yoga started by Nepalese ancestors thousands of years ago from this land.”

Reiterating that yoga and meditation keep the heart and brain healthy, PM Oli said that is why yoga should be given special importance.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, chairman of the National Assembly, leaders of various parties, and lawmakers participated in the program.
