Скачать или смотреть AvritiVani | More Powerful than GDP: International Yoga Day

This episode of AvritiVani, part of the Happy Alien Life podcast series, takes you on a journey through India’s most profound yet understated superpower — Yoga. It’s not just about asanas, meditation, or breathing exercises; it’s about how an ancient Indian tradition has become an undeniable force of global influence, wellness culture, and cultural diplomacy. From the United Nations’ historic declaration of International Yoga Day to how Yoga has touched the lives of millions across 190+ countries, this episode explores why Yoga is more than a trend — it’s a civilisational gift, a powerful tool of Indian soft power that transcends time and borders.

In this deeply personal episode, Aavriti Gautam, a scholar and storyteller, reflects on her internationally published paper, "Yoga as Soft Power: How Flexible is the Posture?" — a widely cited piece in academic, policy, and strategic affairs circles. With humility and pride, she shares her insights on how Yoga has become a living symbol of India’s spiritual DNA, shaping the way the world sees us — not through military or economic might, but through purpose, healing, and inner peace.

Join Aavriti as she unpacks the fascinating story of how Yoga has evolved into India’s global identity and soft power masterstroke. From Times Square celebrations to Saudi Arabia’s inclusion of Yoga, from Swami Vivekananda’s teachings to modern-day yoga diplomacy, discover how India’s greatest cultural export is healing the world — one breath at a time. 🌏🧘‍♀️
