    "The second International Day of Yoga would not only carry forward the accomplishment of the First International Day of Yoga last year, but would be a manifestation of our strong will, positivity and undeterred unity to combat the global evil forces through the message of love and, above all, serenity contained in Yoga," he told a press conference at the Indian embassy.
     
    "I am particularly delighted that we are going to have a large participation in Brussels which is the heart of Europe," he said.
