May 2 marks the World Laughter Day, internationally. It’s an annual event celebrated globally to harp on the importance of the healing effects of laughter and direct people towards a healthier and happier way of life. It was first celebrated in Mumbai in 2008, July 28 due to the initiative taken by Dr Madan Kataria, who is the founder of the Laughter Yoga movement.
It was Dr Kataria who created the World Laughter Day in 1998 as he was fascinated by the astonishing results that could come from laughing, especially the facial feedback hypotheses. It has been observed that by flexing facial muscles to laugh, change of emotion can be induced.
The endeavour is to create world peace and encourage a global awareness, consciousness of bonding. Over 105 countries have welcomed the laughter yoga movement and the World Laughter Day has gained immense prominence over the years.
World Laughter Day is a day dedicated to cherishing the very beautiful, powerful, positive emotion that perpetuates with laughter. It’s a breath of fresh air, especially in times like these when the world has been battling a pandemic.
