Modi able to work tirelessly due to Karma Yoga: Nagendra

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been carrying out his job efficiently due to regular practise of 'Karma Yoga', his yoga guru H R Nagendra said today.

"Modi practises yoga for an hour every morning with emphasis on Karma Yoga and because of this, he remains free from any work-related stress and focuses on his work," he said.

Nagendra was speaking at a conference of the National Medicos Organisation at AIIMS, Jodhpur.

He said that he taught yoga to Modi in the 1990s and the latter had been practising the form regularly.

"It is because of the regular practice of yoga that Modi has been efficiently and tirelessly carrying out his job as the Prime Minister," Nagendra stated.

The founder of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Center also praised Singapore for being the leading nation in practising yoga diligently.

"The people there practise yoga mandatorily every Friday and this is why, the country is clean, corruption-free and youth are away from drugs," he claimed.

Terming yoga an effective tool to deal with all kinds of ills, be it physical or social, Nagendra said that a lot needed to be done in India in this regard.
