New Delhi: Patanjali Ayurved Limited will soon spend Rs 10,000 crore on Yoga research work in India, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said today.
"We are already spending a lot of money on Yoga research work, but we will soon start spending Rs 10,000 crore on it," he said while addressing a gathering at the inaugural session of the two-day international conference on 'Yoga for Body and Beyond'.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for getting Yoga placed on the international platform, he said government funds for Yoga should further increase as the ancient Indian science has to be taken to the masses.
"It's a big world. We will prepare one lakh Yoga teachers soon," he said, adding that once it's done at least one crore people would benefit from Yoga.
Also speaking on the occasion, Pranav Pandya, head of All World Gayatri Pariwar, said mental stress is responsible for various diseases in society.
"Stress is a major problem these days. Only Yoga can heal stress," Pandya said.
