Celebrating the True Spirit of Yoga on International Yoga Day
The global yoga and wellness industry is worth billions of dollars today.
At the JKYog International Yoga Fest 2019 Bollywood Actor Sanya Malhotra posed a question to Swami Mukundananda,"What are your thoughts on the commercialization of Yoga - there's goat yoga, power yoga, hot yoga?"
Swami Mukundananda responded by stressing the spiritual aspects, "Yoga is a divine science that has been passed from generation to generation. Very often there is a perception in the western world that it's just another form of exercise. So like you have Zumba, Pilates - now Yoga has added to the mix. And add to that the penchant of the Western world for creating a business model out of everything and that has led to the so called commercialization of Yoga. Yoga refers to two things. First is the state of the union of our consciousness with the complete and second, Yoga is also a set of transformative techniques and methodologies for us to harmonize our personality at the physical, mental, intellectual spiritual levels so that we may achieve this union. For that many tools are offered like the physical postures, the breathing exercises, meditation, mantras etc."
Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati concurs, "Yoga is union, but it isn't just a union as we always say of our nose to our knees; it is the union of our self to the divine; when we really start living Yoga in every minute and every moment, then we heal and we bring healing to the earth."
Transforming the Global Yoga and Wellness Landscape
The United Nations theme for International Yoga Day 2021 is Yoga for Wellbeing, recognizing Yoga as a valuable tool in improving holistic health and providing stress relief.

Anu Huang, from Michigan USA, who attended in 2020 said, "Even though Yoga has become widespread, JKYog brings awareness of the true meaning of Yoga through this festival."
United States Senator John Cornyn conveyed his appreciation, "The value of the programs offered at the festival by world-renowned experts is inestimable, and the variety of sessions provide something for people from all lifestyles.
