Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam on Ganesh Chaturthi, seeks blessings of Lord Ganesha
September 14, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has extended his heartfelt greetings to all citizens on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. He expressed the hope that the sacred festival of worshipping and seeking the blessings of Vighnaharta, Lord Ganesha, would infuse everyone’s lives with new energy and enthusiasm. Shri Modi prayed that, with the divine blessings of Lord Ganesha, everyone’s efforts would succeed and the nation would continue to progress on the path of development.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम्।

अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that I bow to Lord Shri Vinayaka, whose sacred hands are adorned with modakas; who forever guides seekers on the path of liberation; who wears the crescent moon as an ornament upon his forehead; who is the protector of the entire universe and the sole supreme lord of the cosmos; who vanquished the demon Gajasura and who swiftly frees his devotees from all sorrows and afflictions.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“देशवासियों को गणेश चतुर्थी की अनंत शुभकामनाएं। विघ्नहर्ता के दर्शन और पूजन का यह पावन पर्व सबके जीवन में नई ऊर्जा और नए उत्साह का संचार करे। उनके दिव्य आशीर्वाद से सभी के प्रयास सफल हों और राष्ट्र निरंतर प्रगति के पथ पर आगे बढ़ता रहे, यही कामना है। गणपति बाप्पा मोरया!

मुदाकरात्तमोदकं सदा विमुक्तिसाधकं
कलाधरावतंसकं विलासिलोकरक्षकम्।

अनायकैकनायकं विनाशितेभदैत्यकं
नताशुभाशुनाशकं नमामि तं विनायकम्॥”
