Gurudev tweeted on December 6, 2011 amplifying this request and stating, “There is a World Toilet Day, but no World Yoga Day. We will write to the UN to recognize June 21 as World Yoga Day”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address during the opening of the 69th session of UN General assembly first proposed the draft resolution establishing the International Day of Yoga on behalf of India with the endorsement of a record 175 member states. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as the International Day of Yoga by resolution 69/131.
