Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the importance of protecting nature
July 28, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that the welfare of humanity lies in the protection and respect of nature. He noted that India’s timeless traditions also inspire us to uphold this righteous way of life and live in harmony with the natural world.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“लोकपालाश्च ते सर्वे वासवप्रमुखास्तथा। ऋतवः षट् च ते सर्वे मासाः संवत्सराः क्षपाः॥

दिनानि च मुहूर्ताश्च स्वस्ति कुर्वन्तु ते सदा। श्रुतिः स्मृतिश्च धर्मश्च पातु त्वां पुत्र सर्वतः॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that alife lived in harmony with nature and righteousness is the foundation of happiness, security, and well-being. Therefore, may the guardians of the directions, the principal deities led by Indra, the six seasons, all months, years, nights, days, and auspicious moments always bring blessings and prosperity. May the Vedas, sacred traditions, and righteousness also protect everyone in every way and at all times.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“प्रकृति के संरक्षण और सम्मान में ही मानवता का कल्याण निहित है। हमारी परंपरा भी हमें इसी धर्मसम्मत आचरण की प्रेरणा देती है।

लोकपालाश्च ते सर्वे वासवप्रमुखास्तथा। ऋतवः षट् च ते सर्वे मासाः संवत्सराः क्षपाः॥

दिनानि च मुहूर्ताश्च स्वस्ति कुर्वन्तु ते सदा। श्रुतिः स्मृतिश्च धर्मश्च पातु त्वां पुत्र सर्वतः॥”
