India's Modi Leads Morning Yoga Session in New York

Praising yoga as “living and dynamic " Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined a crowd of diplomats and dignitaries for a morning yoga session on Wednesday at the United Nations and kicked off the public portion of his U.S. visit by calmly flexing India’s cultural reach.
With a checkerboard of made-in-India yoga mats covering the U.N. headquarters’ spacious north lawn, Modi portrayed yoga as an all-ages, try-it-anywhere practice accessible to all faiths and cultures.
The event honors the International Day of Yoga, which Modi persuaded the U.N. to designate in 2014 as an annual observance.
Modi arrived in New York on Tuesday for a trip that will offer plenty of time to discuss global tensions. But starting out by highlighting an ancient pursuit of inner tranquility is a savvy and symbolic choice for a premier who has made yoga a personal practice and a diplomatic tool.
Modi, a Hindu nationalist, casts himself as an ascetic who adheres to his religion’s strictures on vegetarianism and yoga. He has posted social media videos over the years of himself practicing yoga poses (to say nothing of providing live visuals of him meditating in a Himalayan mountain cave after national elections in 2019).
