March 17, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today, highlighting the significance of self-confidence and inner strength in conquering life's most difficult obstacles.

The Prime Minister remarked that for an individual filled with courage and resolve, nothing in life is impossible. Shri Modi affirmed that we can overcome the most difficult challenges on the strength of willpower and self-confidence.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

"जो व्यक्ति साहस और संकल्प से भरा हो, उसके लिए जीवन में कुछ भी असंभव नहीं। आत्मविश्वास और इच्छाशक्ति के बल पर हम कठिन से कठिन चुनौतियों को पार कर सकते हैं।

एकोऽपि सिंहः साहस्रं यूथं मथ्नाति दन्तिनाम् ।
तस्मात् सिंहमिवोदारमात्मानं वीक्ष्य सम्पतेत्॥"

Just as one lion has the power to defeat a thousand elephants, in the same way a person should engage in noble actions fearlessly, with courage, confidence, and inner strength like a lion.
