The ongoing United Ancient Nations (UAN) Paramashivasena Summit in Antigua and Barbuda witnessed a powerful celebration of the International Day of Yoga 2025, under the blessings and guidance of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
Global Presidential Address by THE SPH
“190 NATIONS. 1 BILLION SOULS. ONE SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION: GLOBAL YOGA DAY IGNITES UNPRECEDENTED UNITY”
Ancient Science, Validated by Modern Giants Like NASA and WHO, Reshapes Humanity’s Future
From the Himalayas to Harvard Labs, from Tamil Nadu to Times Square—yoga has erupted beyond tradition to become a planetary force. On this sacred International Day of Yoga, humanity stands at the epicenter of a 5,000-year-old revolution now turbocharged by neuroscience, global policy, and the collective yearning of a billion seekers.
THE UNSTOPPABLE RISE
What began as whispered Sanskrit sutras is now a UN-mandated phenomenon, uniting 190 countries in synchronized practice. NASA studies confirm yoga’s power to rewire brains, reduce cosmic stress in astronauts, and enhance cognitive resilience. The World Health Organization champions it as a “non-pharmacological shield” against modern epidemics—from anxiety to chronic pain.
In a historic presidential address today, His Holiness THE SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam illuminated yoga’s divine origins, revealing how Paramashiva Himself encoded this eternal science in the Agamas as “our very source of life.”
Tech CEOs, Olympic athletes, and UN peacekeepers alike now wield this tool not as exercise, but as an operating system for human potential.
This is not spirituality as usual. It’s a rebellion against fragmentation—a billion people choosing self-mastery over chaos. As Hindu monks in Himalayas and Silicon Valley coders share the same breath pattern, humanity rewrites its destiny.
