PM Modi: Yoga — Indian origin but free to the world with no patent, copyright or royalty fees

莫迪：瑜伽起源于印度，但对全世界免费，没有专利、版权或版税

WASHINGTON: Asserting that yoga is universal and unifying given its origins in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a landmark event at the United Nations on Wednesday, urged its practice globally to bring humankind closer and improve the health of the planet.

华盛顿：周三，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪在联合国举行的一场具有里程碑意义的活动中称，瑜伽起源于印度，但它是全世界的，是统一的，他敦促在全球范围内练习瑜伽，让人类走得更近，改善人类的健康状况。

"Yoga comes from India and it is a very old tradition. Yoga is free from copyrights, free from patents and free from royalty payments.

瑜伽起源于印度，是一项非常古老的传统。瑜伽没有版权，没有专利，没有版税。

Yoga is unifying; it is for everyone, for all ethnicities, for all faiths, for all cultures. Yoga is truly universal!"Modi said in remarks before participating in international yoga day under the aegis of UN.

莫迪在参加由联合国主办的国际瑜伽日之前说：“瑜伽是统一的，它适用于所有人，所有种族，所有信仰，所有文化。瑜伽是真正普遍的！”

The Prime Minister brief comments were an implicit rebuke to a country notorious for excessive and often spurious patent protections where some yoga gurus, notably Indian teacher Bikram Choudhury, sought to copyright poses. A US court rejected the claim. Chaudhury is currently on the lam from US after he was ordered to pay damages in a case of alleged sexual harassment, which he has denied.

总理的简短评论含蓄地指责了一个以专利保护过度而臭名昭著的国家。一些瑜伽大师，尤其是印度教师比克拉姆·乔杜里，曾试图为瑜伽姿势获得版权。一家美国法院驳回了这一指控。乔杜里目前正在美国潜逃，此前他被指控性骚扰，并被要求支付赔偿金，但他否认了这一指控。

While acknowledging yoga is universal and advocating its global practice, Modi also asserted its Indian origins, with no reference to religion. Some critics, mostly a malingering minority, have accused him of promoting yoga as tool "to conceal a political agenda steeped in #Hindutva & caste supremacist ideology & policies," a charge that has found little resonance at the UN, which has officially endorsed the International Yoga Day, first proposed by the Modi government in 2014 and supported by 180 countries.

虽然莫迪承认瑜伽是全世界的，并提倡在全球范围内练习，但他也坚称瑜伽起源于印度，没有提到宗教。一些批评者，主要是装病的少数人，指责他将瑜伽作为“掩盖沉浸在印度教至上主义和种姓至上主义意识形态和政策中的政治议程”的工具来推广，这一指控在联合国几乎没有引起共鸣，联合国已经正式批准了国际瑜伽日，这是莫迪政府于2014年首次提出的，得到了180个国家的支持。

In fact, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteres specifically backed Wednesday's event in a video message, saying, "In a divided world, yoga unites millions of people across the globe, for whom it is a source of strength, harmony, and peace. On this #YogaDay, let us embrace this spirit of unity, and resolve to build a better, more harmonious world for people & planet."

事实上，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在一段视频中特别支持周三的活动，他说：“在一个分裂的世界里，瑜伽团结了全球数百万人，对他们来说，瑜伽是力量、和谐与和平的源泉。值此#瑜伽日#之际，让我们发扬这种团结精神，决心为人类和地球建设一个更美好、更和谐的世界。”

Madhu Chetu

Irrelevant stuff he is talking. How can one patent how one bends his own body? Can anyone patent that you can’t bend your body in particular way? You can’t impose royalty fees and taxes upon someone bending body in a particular way, it amounts to violation of basic human ri hts. Why we are making ourselves laughing stock?

他在说些无关紧要的话。弯曲自己身体，怎么能申请专利呢？

申请专利证明你的身体不能以某种特定的方式弯曲吗？

你不能对一个以某种方式弯曲身体的人征收版税，这是对基本人*的侵犯。

为什么我们要让自己成为笑柄？

We are proud of PM Modiji and BJP for taking India ahead in the their 9 years of rule. These 9 years are better than past 30 years of congress rule (with 5 years of coalition circus of Atalji as well). Hindus and nationalist must take care to vote BJP again to the power next year or otherwise these opposition stooges would damage all the good efforts of Modiji. Jai Hind

我们为莫迪总理和人民党9年来带领印度取得进步感到骄傲。这9年比国大党过去30年的统治要好，还有5年的阿塔吉联合政府。印度教徒和民族主义者必须小心，明年再次投票给人民党，否则这些反对派走狗会破坏莫迪的所有努力。印度必胜！
