Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today drew upon India’s timeless civilizational wisdom, invoking a prayer that reflects the nation’s collective aspiration for health, longevity, and devotion to service.
The Prime Minister emphasized that this invocation embodies the spirit of India’s cultural heritage—where reverence for the Earth, commitment to well‑being, and dedication to service form the foundation of national progress.
Quoting an ancient Sanskrit verse, the Prime Minister said:
“उपस्थास्ते अनमीवा अयक्ष्मा अस्मभ्यं सन्तु पृथिवि प्रसूताः।
दीर्घं न आयुः प्रतिबुध्यमाना वयं तुभ्यं बलिहृतः स्याम॥“
उपस्थास्ते अनमीवा अयक्ष्मा अस्मभ्यं सन्तु पृथिवि प्रसूताः।
