Jammu, Feb 18: As a part of Swami Vivekananda's ongoing 150th birth anniversary celebrations thousands of students took part in Suryanamaskar', a special sequence of yoga postures, all over Jammu region today.
"Over 7,500 students in over 90 institutes in Jammu performed Suryanamaskar, a special sequence of yoga postures with 10 steps", North-India Samiti coordinator, Gain Chand said here today.
This was organised as a part of the ongoing 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Swami Vivekananda, with a view to propagate the ideals of Swamiji among school students, he added.
Reports from other districts stated thousands of students took part in Suriyanamasskar all over Jammu region today. Though a target of 16,000 students from over 240 schools has been fixed for the Suryanamaskar programme in Jammu and Kashmir, the number crossed to over 35,000 students from 350 schools, Chand said.
The year long programme in connection with Swami Vivekananda Ji birth anniversary is being organised by Swami Vivekananda Shard Sati Samroh Samiti.
A nation-wide Surya namaskar programme is being carried out as part of Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary celebrations with the aim to create awareness and interest among students to practice the Yogic exercise.
Chand said the purpose of organizing Suriyanamsakars all over the country was to imbibe the spirit of patriotism among the children. The Suriyanamaskar is the part of Yoga which increases concentration, sharpens memory and also gives self confidence.
He said Swami Vivekanda had envisioned Indian youth to be sharp, self confident and concentrated on their goal.
He said the programme is held all over the country and there was a good response from student community as a whole. This was first ever such a large programme held in the country and we hope it will be included in Genies book of records.
