On June 21, 2024, International Yoga Day celebration, hosted by Amruta Fadnavis and Divyaj Foundation at the NSCI Dome in Mumbai, was a resounding success. The event brought together 1000 plus children of deceased farmers and those of marginalized sections of society, creating a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
The day’s activities were thoughtfully curated to promote wellness and empowerment. The event’s focus was dedicated to these children through introductory yoga sessions, meditation by Dr Mickey Mehta, renowned holistic health Guru, motivational speeches by Smt Manju Lodha Ji and other dignitaries, singing performance by ‘Mitti Ke Sitare’ students, few interactive workshops and few fun-filled games for children. The children also interacted with Jackie Shroff and Shailesh Lodha. Digantaries joined for the cause - Shantilal Muttha, Mazhar Nadiadwala, Rekha Chaudhary Pallavi Shrivastava Arun Sabnis. The activities not only showcased the talents of the participants but also underscored the event’s focus on holistic development and community well-being.
Amruta Fadnavis commented on the event saying, “The celebration was a testament to the positive impact of Divyaj Foundation, fostering a sense of well-being and empowerment among all attendees. This event was a huge success and I had a great time being with the children and seeing their smiles. It was truly heartwarming! We designed the day to be both educational and enjoyable, with motivational speeches and yoga activities. Yoga is such a wonderful practice, not just for physical fitness, but for mental well-being too. It teaches valuable life skills like discipline, focus, and perseverance – all important qualities for young minds. It was fantastic to see the children having so much fun while learning – that’s what makes these events so rewarding.”
