The seven-day International Yoga Festival, jointly organized by the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam and the Uttarakhand government, will conclude on March 22nd. It will be inaugurated by Uttarakhand Governor Lieutenant General Gurmeet Singh. It was inaugurated on March 16th by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. The success of the International Yoga Festival is attributed to Prateek Jain, a dynamic young IAS officer from Uttarakhand and Managing Director of the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam. Just a few months ago, Prateek Jain assumed the role of Managing Director and subsequently began developing the International Yoga Conference into a mega event. Due to his diligence, the event has been a huge success. So far, more than 10,000 yoga enthusiasts have received training in various forms of yoga at the conference. Managing Director Prateek Jain stated that this year, more than 2,500 registrations were received as yoga instructors, compared to only 700 last year. This year, the International Festival was a great success across multiple dimensions, where people learned various yoga postures and prominent figures from the fields of music and spirituality attended. Among the top spiritual figures were international spiritual gurus Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Sadhvi Many celebrities including Sadhvi Purnamati Mata from Usha Mata Jain sect, National President of All India Akhara Parishad and President of Shri Mansa Devi Temple Trust Mahant Shri Ravindra Puri Maharaj and President of Parmarth Ashram Swami Chidanand Muni came here, while in the field of music, Sufi singers Wadali Bandhu, Bhajan Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota etc. mesmerized the people by giving their performances. In this way, the confluence of music, spirituality and yoga flowed parallel to the flow of Ganga on the holy banks of Ganga at Ganga Resort and people immersed themselves in the holy flow of yoga, music and spirituality. Till now more than 300 yoga sessions have been conducted which is a record in itself.
