NEW YORK (TIP): History was made in San Pedro Carchá, Guatemala, with the world’s largest International Day of Yoga (IDY 2025) celebration held outside India, attended by over 10,000 participants. This grand event was organized by the Indian Embassy in Guatemala in collaboration with the Municipality of San Pedro Carchá, the Department of Education, and the Don Bosco Center.
Prem Bhandari, Chairman of Jaipur Foot USA, extended heartfelt congratulations to Ambassador Dr. Manoj Kumar Mohapatra for leading such a magnificent celebration of wellness, unity, and Indian culture on the global stage. Bhandari, who recently visited Guatemala at the invitation of Ambassador Mahapatra to mark the 53rd anniversary of India–Guatemala diplomatic relations and to coordinate the upcoming Jaipur Foot camp, said:
“I truly regret missing this historic event. Due to preparations for the UN event held on June 10 and several important meetings that followed—since Padma Bhushan Shri D.R. Mehta, founder of Jaipur Foot USA’s parent organization BMVSS, was visiting the U.S. and was returning on 15th June to India – I was unable to attend.
However, I witnessed Ambassador Mohapatra working tirelessly during my recent visit, and I wholeheartedly commend him and his entire team for organizing such a spectacular event.”
The International Day of Yoga was established by the United Nations in 2015 upon the initiative of Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, and it is now celebrated worldwide as a symbol of holistic health, harmony, and peace.
