Yoga is not just Movement - it's about Soul, mind & intellect
On this International Yoga Day, let’s remember that Yoga is not just about the body movement—it is all about union with your inner Self. You can also do Yoga without difficult physical movements to connect your Mind, Body, & Soul. Focus on activating your inner self by meditation to attain Jnana Yoga (Knowledge Path), and Bhakti Yoga (devotion) as told by our ancient Saints & Sages.
Your inner power is extreme & if you use it efficiently, it will do wonders for you.
The revered Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya, who was born 2500 years ago in India, revived the roots of Bhakti Yoga & creator of Advaita Vedanta. He is forgotten Guru of Yoga, especially Jnana Yoga (Path of Knowledge) and taught that Yoga leads to Moksha (liberation).
The Self is not different from Brahman.
Why Yoga Day is on 21 June?
Yoga Day is celebrated on Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator, including Europe, North America, and parts of Asia).
It marks the beginning of the Spiritual Journey—the day Lord Shiva became Adiyogi.
Let's embark on the journey of spirituality by transformative Guidance of one of the spiritual Guru Maharshi Keshvananda.

Vedic Astrology Predictions on Yoga Day - Powered by Navnidhi Life Solutions
On June 21, 2025, the Sun—symbol of the soul and life energy—transits through Gemini (Mithuna Rashi) ruled by Mercury. Gemini enhances learning, communication, and curiosity—making it the ideal day for practicing Jnana Yoga (the Yoga of Knowledge).
The Moon will be in Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi), opposite the Sun—bringing a beautiful balance of wisdom and inspiration. This lunar position favours Bhakti Yoga, helping you connect with higher truth through devotion & surrender. A powerful Mars-Jupiter aspect creates a surge of spiritual energy & discipline—great for practicing Hatha Yoga with intention & awareness.
Yoga Day Tips – Based on Planetary Energy
- Practice Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) to align with solar vitality.
- Read sacred texts (like Bhagavad Gita or Vivekachudamani) to align with Gemini’s intellectual force.
- Chant mantras or engage in devotional singing to balance the Moon’s emotional pull.
