“Yoga guru Ramdev is a symbol of friendship between the two South Asian countries. He is bridging the divide between Indian and Nepal and helping the historical ties scale new heights with spiritual and cultural exchange through yoga and ayurveda,” Mr. Nepal told a packed gathering at Dhulikhel, 35 km from the capital city of Kathmandu, where he arrived in the morning to inaugurate a new Patanjali Yog Peeth centre.

The centre - a sprawling retreat on the slopes of the Himalayas - will act an Indian yoga centre and ayurveda research institute in the region rich in medicinal herbs.

“He has taken yoga to remote villages in the country where people had not heard about it earlier. Traditional yoga not only improves health and lifestyle but also fosters a positive outlook towards one's own country and the world at large,” he said.

Responding to the Yoga guru’s campaign against fizzy drinks and junk food in Nepal schools - like his campaign in India, the prime minister said he would try to “regulate sale of harmful foodstuff in schools across the country and introduce yoga”."
