The Honorable Nikki R. Haley,

I am writing on behalf of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA, Inc. ("HSS" or the Hindu Service Society), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization.  We would like to request proclamation from your office supporting tenth year of our national campaign from January 14th 2017 to January 29th 2017, "Health for Humanity - Yogathon" also known as "Surya Namaskar Yajna".  This campaign encourages persons from all corners of the country regardless age, gender, ethnicity, faith, nationality etc. to participate and achieve personal goals of healthy life style.

HSS launched the Health for Humanity Yogathon as an annual event in 2007 to create awareness about yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body, mind, and spirit. The Surya Namaskar yoga routine integrates simple postures of well-balanced movements in ten steps with an easy breathing technique to provide immense health benefits for everyone, from beginners to yoga enthusiasts.

Last year 10,000+ participants from 38 States took part that highlighted:
17 Public Schools
25 Universities and Colleges
Mayors of 11 Cities proclaimed a day
75+ nonstop Yogathon between 6 to 24 hours' durations.
100+ attended Columbia chapter Surya Namaskar Yagna event 2016.
Last year, many others, from Singapore, Holland, Kenya etc. also participated in this health awareness campaign making its success international.  The total count of this 10 steps Yoga postures was close to one Million, that reflects in to several millions of collective calories burning!  You can find more information about this initiative and its success over the years at http://www.hssus.org/sny/

I will follow up with your office within next week. Please have your office contact me at (803) 553 2309 or sajidamodaran@gmail.com, if you would like additional information.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Columbia Chapter of HSS, USA
