Lok Bhavan Dehradun 26 July, 2026
Governor Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh (Retd.) participated in the concluding session of the two-day “Vedic Manas Yoga” programme organised by Patanjali Yogpeeth at Lok Bhavan on Sunday. Vedic Manas Yoga is a unique training methodology developed by Patanjali Yogpeeth, based on yoga, meditation, and Vedic knowledge. Its objective is to foster concentration, memory, self-confidence, emotional balance, and positive thinking among students, thereby contributing to their holistic personality development.
During the programme, children who had undergone Vedic Manas Yoga training presented a live demonstration, showcasing the remarkable improvement in their concentration, mental awareness, and cognitive abilities achieved through regular practice. Appreciating the students’ performance, the Governor said that it was a powerful testimony to the effectiveness of Vedic Manas Yoga. He observed that the positive transformation in the children’s talent, self-confidence, and inner awareness was truly inspiring and that such an initiative would play a significant role in the all-round development of the younger generation.
The Governor said that the foremost objective of Vedic Manas Yoga is to help individuals discover their true selves. He remarked that while it is easy to observe the external world, the real journey lies in looking within and recognising one’s inner strength, self-confidence, and self-worth. He added that when a person awakens the mind, intellect, and consciousness, they become better equipped to face life’s challenges with resilience and confidence. Referring to the students’ impressive display of talent and concentration during the programme, the Governor said it demonstrated how awakening one’s inner consciousness and potential instils renewed confidence and enables individuals to overcome even the most difficult challenges successfully.
Appreciating the efforts of Patanjali Yogpeeth, the Governor said that the initiative has emerged as an effective platform for nurturing self-confidence and inner awareness among children and youth. He expressed the view that Vedic Manas Yoga should evolve into a mass movement beginning from Uttarakhand. He said that from this sacred land of yoga, spirituality, and Sanatan knowledge, the campaign should spread to every district and village of the state and, in due course, carry India’s rich knowledge tradition to the entire country and the world.
The Governor congratulated Patanjali Yogpeeth CEO Acharya Balkrishna and the entire team for this innovative and visionary initiative, describing it as an important step towards the holistic development of the younger generation.
First Lady Smt. Gurmit Kaur, Patanjali Yogpeeth CEO Acharya Balkrishna, Master Trainer Arvind Rana, officers and employees of Lok Bhavan, along with their family members, were present on the occasion.
