Ganjimata, as the Chief Guest and key resource person for the day.
The celebration began with a solemn invocation and the traditional lighting of the lamp. Following the
formal welcome, Mr. Umesh Poojary addressed the gathering. In his enlightening address, he
emphasized that yoga is not merely physical exercise but a holistic practice that unifies the mind, body,
and spirit. He spoke about the crucial role yoga plays in reducing student stress, improving focus during
academics, and maintaining physical fitness in today’s fast-paced digital era.

“Yoga is a timeless gift to humanity that nurtures resilience, concentration, and internal peace. For a
student, a daily disciplined practice of pranayama and asanas can unlock boundless mental clarity
and joyful learning.”

students and faculty members, equipped with their yoga mats, enthusiastically performed various
foundational postures (Asanas) guided by his precise instructions and demonstrations.
