World Laughter Day
World laughter day was first celebrated on
the 10th of January in 1998. It is an annual observance and was founded by
Dr.Madan Kataria, who is also the founder of Laughter Yoga Movement, which is
being followed across the globe. Laughter is considered to be a therapy which
relaxes your body muscles and tunes the mind effectively. Keeping this in view,
Dr. Kataria started celebrating this day to emphasize the importance of
laughter in day to day life.
This day is currently confined to the country
of India. There are laughter clubs which are being formed and their number is
above 8000. The membership in such clubs
is free and open to all. There is no discrimination on the basis of caste,
creed, religion and others. Any and every person who feels like getting
benefited through laughter is welcome to become a member. The clubs include
various activities along with laughter, such as namastey laughter, milkshake
laughter and pani-puri laughter among others to provide newness to the routine
as well as to provide relaxation to the body by laughing out loud. The people
come in these clubs, spend hours and feel happy after channelizing their energy
via laughing.
The world laughter day aims at approaching
masses and uniting them through the laughter therapy. Not only this, the day is
celebrated to amplify the effect of laugh in person’s life. In the ever-busy
life while a person forget to have a relaxing laugh at many times, this day
teaches us the simplicity of laughter so as to maintain a stress free living.
The yogaasans which are being taught along with sessions of laughing help in
further relaxing the body and it helps in curing certain diseases and ailments
as well.
