In South Korea, India, Indianness, and Patanjali gain popularity

It is a source of pride, according to Acharya Balkrishna, general secretary of Patanjali Yogpeeth, that Indian and Korean diplomacy has reached its 50th year. However, he claimed that the connection goes back tens of thousands of years.

Nevertheless, it is a cause for great celebration that the two nations are marking the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic ties, the Acharya remarked during a speech at the Wellness Festival-2023 held in the South Korean province of Yangsung Bukto.

A special invitee for the event was Patanjali’s general secretary. He spoke extensively on Indian and Sanatan culture, as well as Ayurvedic treatment, throughout his address.

Acharyaji published a book called “Glossary of Korean Medicines” during the event that was put together by the Patanjali group. The novel won several awards.

Speaking at the event, the Governor of Youngsung Bukto emphasized his intention to collaborate with Patanjali on the Korean Medicine System and to eventually construct an Indian town in his province.

He said that efforts to promote Indianness and national pride will definitely improve our ties.

For this event, Patanjali items were given a distinct tent. The Korean customers at the Patanjali stand were really enthusiastic. According to Acharya ji, people are accepting and trusting of Patanjali goods.

He said that it was a nice surprise for them that the locals have already been using Patanjali Dantkanti and many other goods. “We are happy that the majority of the people here are already aware of Patanjali products,” he said.

Yoga and a “Wellness Walk” were also planned for the event. Dr. Hero Hitto, senior adviser to the university research committee of Subharti University, Meerut, successfully coordinated all of these programs.

Vice-Chancellor of Jamnagar University, Dr. Hirabhai Patel, Dean and Professor of Banaras Hindu University, Chief Executive Officer of Subharti University, Dr. Shaly Raj, Director of Holistic Medicine, Dr. Rohit Ravindra, and Diplomat and Deputy Chief of Indian Embassy in South Korea. On this occasion, Mission Shri Nishi Kant Singh ji and others were there.
