The Group of Twenty (G20) is a premier forum that shapes and strengthens global architecture and governance. India currently holds the G20 Presidency from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023. The theme of India's G20 Presidency is "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "One Earth · One Family · One Future," derived from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad. This theme emphasizes the value of all life forms and their interconnectedness on Earth and in the wider universe.
Yoga, which means union or connecting through raised consciousness, establishes an elevation of consciousness where we recognize ourselves in others and see unity in all. The essence of Yogic Tradition lies in its profound Spiritual Wisdom, expressing itself through Oneness.
Yoga is a sacred journey undertaken by millions for millennia, leading to living with the awareness of one consciousness and one being. It allows us to transcend limited identities that foster division and embrace unity. This is particularly crucial because we share one Earth, belong to one human family, and undoubtedly have one future as inhabitants of this beautiful planet. Indian Yogic traditions are not only an Indian legacy but also a matter of World Heritage.
It is the responsibility of each generation to preserve, protect, and promote the magnificent legacy passed down by their ancestors. The scope of yoga extends beyond physiology, encompassing morality, ethics, psychology, philosophy, and holistic well-being. This conference will reaffirm authentic yogic standards, serving as protocols for global yoga practitioners and guiding accreditation institutions as well.
