Yoga is not a religious activity and people must embrace it for better mental and physical health, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Chandigarh on Tuesday.
Thousands of Indians celebrated the second International Yoga Day by performing postures of the ancient discipline across the country.

Addressing some 30,000 yoga enthusiasts, he said yoga helped control the mind and help people to lead a disciplined life
