Strengthening the Light of Yoga: IYA Secretary General Meets Hon’ble Prime Minister 

Shri Subodh Tiwari, Secretary General of the Indian Yoga Association (IYA), had the honour of meeting Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.

During the interaction, Shri Tiwari apprised the Prime Minister of the wide-ranging activities of the Indian Yoga Association and the progressive steps being undertaken to promote Yoga—both as a way of life and as a science for holistic well-being. The discussion highlighted how Yoga, rooted in India’s timeless wisdom, continues to serve as a global bridge of health, harmony, and peace.

On this occasion, Shri Subodh Tiwari, in his capacity as CEO & Secretary of Kaivalyadhama, also presented the Centenary Coffee Table Book of the institute to the Prime Minister, in the presence of Shri Suresh Prabhu ji. The book, a tribute to the pioneering vision of Swami Kuvalayananda, encapsulates Kaivalyadhama’s 100-year contribution to the scientific study, research, and dissemination of Yoga.

Speaking about the meeting, Shri Subodh Tiwari ji shared, “It was very encouraging to share our work with the Prime Minister. His genuine interest in the scientific approach to yoga is a powerful validation of the mission. This recognition inspires us to continue the legacy of traditional Yoga for generations to come.”

With the Prime Minister’s vision and encouragement, the Indian Yoga Association stands ever more committed to carrying the light of Yoga to every household and every heart, while honouring the contributions of its member institutions in advancing Yoga as both tradition and science.
