In a World on the Brink of Conflict, Yoga Remains the Path to Peace: Sadguru Brahmeshanand acharya– Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal graces the International Yoga Day celebrations at Leh Ladakh
Leh Ladakh: At the gracious invitation of the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre, Adhyatma Shiromani, Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji was invited at the prestigious 11th International Yoga Day 2025 celebrations held in Leh Ladakh.
Addressing the global gathering, Pujya Sadguruji remarked with profound insight: “In this era where the world stands on the brink of war, Yoga is not merely a practice — it is the only enduring solution for global peace and collective harmony.”
Pujya Sadguruji further added that the relentless race for supremacy among nations is leading humanity astray, but through this sacred observance of International Yoga Day, the Mahabodhi Centre is powerfully reminding the world of the urgent need to embrace the timeless teachings of Lord Buddha — the path of peace, compassion, and inner stillness.
Pujya Sadguruji acknowledged that it is due to the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji that International Yoga Day is now celebrated worldwide, with the United Nations adopting Yoga as a global movement for wellness and unity.
Pujya Sadguruji emphasized that the sacred science of Yoga, as bestowed upon the world by India’s ancient rishis and sages, is a divine gift to humanity. If the world sincerely embraces the Indian Yogic tradition, true peace and spiritual elevation can be attained. Pujya Sadguruji also lauded Bhikkhu Sanghasena ji, founder of the Mahabodhi Centre, for his unwavering commitment to spreading the message of Yoga and peace across the globe. Pujya Sadguruji urged everyone across the globe to internalize and practice the sacred knowledge of Yog, and to carry forward India’s rich spiritual legacy to every corner of the globe.
The celebration was held under the banner of “The Ladakh’s Biggest Festival of Yoga & Meditation at World’s Highest Altitude,” jointly organised by the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre and the Administration of UT Ladakh — a truly divine confluence of spirit, serenity, and Sanatan wisdom amidst the majestic Himalayas. Pujya Sadguru Brahmeshanandacharya Swamiji was invited as a distinguished guest of Honour, where Pujya Sadguruji addressed the gathering with a deeply spiritual message.
Hon’ble Union Minister for Law and Justice, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal ji, also graced the celebration as the Chief Guest, joining Sadguruji in honouring this global spiritual event.
Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji addressed the nation’s main celebrations virtually from Andhra Pradesh, sharing his inspiring message on the universal relevance and transformative power of Yoga.
The celebration was further enriched by the august presence of Yogacharya Vachananand Swamiji (Bangalore), Smt. Kiran Bedi (Former Lt. Governor of Puducherry), Bhikkhu Sanghasena ji (Leh), Bhanupeeth Shankaracharya Swami Divyanand Swamiji (Ujjain), and Adv.
