Mysore/Mysuru: President of Mysuru District Kannada Sahitya Parishat Maddikere Gopal has demanded that the Cultural Capital Mysuru should be officially declared as ‘Yoga Nagari’ (Yoga City) and release required funds for the further growth of Yoga.
Speaking after releasing Yoga Calendar brought out by Chaitanya Yoga Educational and Research Foundation at Patrakarthara Bhavana in the city on Thursday, Gopal said: “People from across the country and also abroad come to Mysuru only to learn Yoga in Mysuru. We can see hundreds of foreigners at Yadavgiri, Vontikoppal, Gokulam and several other localities learning Yoga both in the morning and evening hours. Already Mysuru is popular as ‘Yoga City’ but can take the art to further heights if it gets official stamp as ‘Yoga City’ and funds are sanctioned towards its development.”
