A week of public yoga events to mark the International Day of Yoga have ended at Mahatma Gandhi's Tolstoy Farm near Johannesburg in South Africa today. The commune was established by Mahatma Gandhi during his stay in the city. <br/><br/>More than 30 events over the past week in all major cities of South Africa saw tens of thousands of people from all communities participate in yoga activities. The arrangement was made by the Indian missions in the country in collaboration with community organisations and local yoga schools.<br/><br/>During the event, Indian Consul General Dr K J Srinivasa explained to scores of African children and adults as well as members of the local Gayathri Parivar organisation how the UN had accepted a proposal by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that June 21 be declared the Internationa Day of Yoga.<br/><br/>Tolstoy Farm, some 30 km from Johannesburg, became the headquarters of Gandhi's campaign of satyagraha (non- violence). This campaign was a reaction to the discrimination against Indians in Transvaal. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
