During the Yoga Maha Sankalp Divas in Mysuru, MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar highlighted the significance of Yoga as a powerful soft power for India. He made a commitment for the upcoming 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) on June 21, organized by the Yoga Federation of Mysuru (YFM). The YFM plans to engage at least 200,000 participants across 120 centers in Mysuru, promoting the theme 'Yoga for Wellness, Wisdom, and World Peace'. Wadiyar inaugurated the event by paying tribute to Patanjali and releasing the official IDY poster. He noted Mysuru's historical role in propagating Yoga, referencing contributions from past Wadiyar kings, which are currently being documented. The event included rehearsals for the Common Yoga Protocol, designed for all ages and fitness levels. Wadiyar expressed hopes of inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Mysuru again for the 'Fit Mysuru' campaign, following previous successes including a Guinness World Record for the largest Yoga session in 2017.
