While sharing her own experience at the foundation day function of Jnanaprabha Mission, a charitable organisation, the President said, "At one point of time, I felt completely broken both physically and mentally and embarked on yoga. I am here today standing before you and speaking to you just because of yoga." Though she did not provide details, President Murmu during a short span of time lost her two sons, husband and brother before becoming the Jharkhand Governor in 2015.
