Math and Mission, founded by Swami Vivekananda and sought blessings of Maharaj shree Aatmasthanandaji, the president of Ramkrishna Mission.

The CM spent one hour observing different things at the Belur Math museum. At this time, head of the Swami Vivekananda Centre, Vadodara, Swami Nikhileshwar and General Secretary were also present during this occasion. The CM said, “I am blessed to have come to this holy land of Ramkrishna Paramhansh and be able to perform prayers of Kalimata.”

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the strength and contribution of Nari Shakti
April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that Nari Shakti is the identity of a strong India. He noted that the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country, through their unwavering determination, dedication and spirit of service, are enhancing the pride of India in every field.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit verse-

“देव्या यया ततमिदं जगदात्मशक्त्या निश्शेषदेवगणशक्तिसमूहमूर्त्या ।

तामम्बिकामखिलदेवमहर्षिपूज्यां भक्त्या नताः स्म विदधातु शुभानि सा नः ।।”

The verse invokes We offer our reverent salutations to Ambika-worshipped by all the gods and great sages-who, through her divine power, pervades this entire universe and who is the very embodiment of the collective powers of all the deities. May that Mother of the Universe bestow welfare upon us.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“हमारी नारी शक्ति सशक्त भारत की पहचान है। देश की माताएं-बहनें और बेटियां अपनी अटूट संकल्पशक्ति, निष्ठा और सेवाभाव से आज हर क्षेत्र में भारतवर्ष का गौरव बढ़ा रही हैं।

देव्या यया ततमिदं जगदात्मशक्त्या निश्शेषदेवगणशक्तिसमूहमूर्त्या ।

तामम्बिकामखिलदेवमहर्षिपूज्यां भक्त्या नताः स्म विदधातु शुभानि सा नः ।।”
