The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today reflected upon the enduring wisdom of Indian tradition, underscoring the values that continue to guide national life and individual conduct.
Prime Minister emphasized that true beauty is adorned by virtue, lineage is ennobled by character, knowledge finds its worth through success, and wealth attains meaning through responsible enjoyment. He stated that these values are not only timeless but also deeply relevant in contemporary society, guiding India’s collective journey towards progress, responsibility, and harmony.
Sharing a Sanskrit verse on X, Shri Modi wrote:
“गुणो भूषयते रूपं शीलं भूषयते कुलम्।
सिद्धिर्भूषयते विद्यां भोगो भूषयते धनम्॥”
गुणो भूषयते रूपं शीलं भूषयते कुलम्।
