"The number of yoga followers is growing continuously. Wherever I go, there is hardly any (international) leader who does not talk to me about the benefits of yoga. In many countries, yoga is becoming a part of people's daily lives." 

He also mentioned the Yoga inspirations like Charlotte Chopin, who was awarded Padma Shri for her devotion to promoting Yoga. He added:

"We are now seeing yoga tourism in states like Uttarakhand and Kerala. People are coming to India because they get to see authentic yoga. People are now hiring personal yoga trainers for fitness, and companies are including yoga in mind and body (fitness) programs for their employees. It has opened new avenues of livelihood," 

He further said:

"Yoga is not only knowledge but it is science as well. In this era of information revolution, there is a flood of information sources and it is a challenge for the human mind to focus on one subject. A solution for this is also in yoga as it helps the mind to focus. That is why from the army to sports, yoga has been included in their routine."

"In many prisons, the inmates are also taught yoga so that they can think positively. I have been seeing since yesterday that yoga is becoming popular with the people of Srinagar and (rest of) Jammu and Kashmir. It is a big thing that 50,000 to 60,000 people are associated with yoga. This will attract more tourists here.”
