International Yoga day: Cyclic meditation is PM Modi's favourite

PM Modi first visited Dr. Nagendra's yoga centre Prashanti in Bengaluru 35 years ago.

On this International Yoga Day, the Yoga Guru of Prime Minister Modi has some interesting things to share. The Yoga teacher Dr HR Nagendra who has started a new branch in Delhi's Jor Bagh area, is less than three kilometres away from his student Modi's Lok Kalyan Marg residence in Delhi.

"He knows very well what to do. His favourite is the cyclic meditation or Avartan Dhyana and if he needs anything, he can just call me,'' added Dr.Nagendra.

But, the motive is not to stay close to the PM and give him personalized lessons regularly. Because PM knows very well what to do, says Dr. Nagendra. He recalled that PM Modi first visited his yoga centre Prashanti in Bengaluru for yoga lessons 35 years ago, he told to a private TV channel.

"This year the PM's message was simple. He wanted us to tackle diabetes," said Dr Nagendra, adding that his team worked closely with the AYUSH ministry to deliver on that.
Dr Nagendra's team also trains personnel of the Indian Air Force in yoga.

Dr. Nagendra admits that he rose to fame due to his association with the PM. He said, his Yoga classes are now oversubscribed and since 2015 the enrollment has increased five times.
