When I Turn My Head To The Right During Yoga, India Is The First Democracy I’ll See: Netanyahu
PM Narendra Modi and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday used some Yoga know-how as he sought to drive home his message of Israel and India’s shared democratic values.
While delivering joint statements along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said: "When I do a relaxing talasana pose in the morning and I turn my head to the right, India is the first democracy that I'll see. And when Modi does a relaxing pose of vasistasana and he turns his head to the left, Israel is the first democracy that you can see”.
Netanyahu also said he has been inspired by Modi's enthusiasm for Yoga and cited yogic asanas to link the two flourishing democracies of the world.
In an interview with a newspaper ahead of his visit, Modi had jokingly said that a little more time spent on the practice might help solve Middle East’s problems.
