''Yoga is a precious gift from our ancestors that we must cherish and pass on to future generations. Let us embrace the practice of yoga as a life-giving prosperity to keep ourselves healthy,'' Kataria said.

It is a priceless gift of ancient Indian tradition, and it is a science-based spiritual discipline that focuses on achieving harmony between mind and body. It is the art and science of healthy living, he added.
