The Prime Minister today gifted the Supreme Leader His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei a specially commissioned reproduction of a rare seventh-century manuscript of the Holy Quran attributed to Hazrat Ali, the fourth caliph. Written in Kufic script, this manuscript is a prized possession of the Ministry of Culture’s Rampur Raza Library.

The Prime Minister also gifted the Iranian President Dr Hassan Rouhani specially commissioned reproductions of MirzaAsadullah Khan Ghalib’s collection of poetry in Persian,Kulliyat-e-Farsi-e-Ghalib, as also Sumair Chand’s Persian translation of Ramayana.

First published in 1863, Kulliyat-e-Farsi-e-Ghalib is a collection of over 11,000 verses by Ghalib. The reproduction is from a rare copy of the book’s 1867 edition to which some missing pages have been added from a copy of the 1872 edition from Maulana Azad’s personal collection preserved in the library of Indian Council for Cultural Relations in New Delhi. 

Translated into Persian in 1715 and copied in 1826, Sumair Chand’s Ramayana is a rare manuscript at the Ministry of Culture’s Rampur Raza Library, and contains over 260 illustrations – possibly the largest number in any hand-written Ramayana manuscript.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the transformative impact of Yoga
June 22, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that the remarkable success of the International Day of Yoga is proof that Yoga is not only helping millions of people across the world achieve physical well-being, but is also inspiring them to lead positive lives with confidence.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“चित्तप्रशमनोपायो योग इत्यभिधीयते। प्राणस्पन्दनिरोधो वा द्वेधा योगस्य धारणा॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that yoga is the means of completely calming and quieting the mind. To attain this goal, two principal methods of yoga are prescribed: calming the mind and regulating the flow of the breath.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“अंतर्राष्ट्रीय योग दिवस की बड़ी सफलता इस बात का प्रमाण है कि योग न केवल दुनियाभर में करोड़ों लोगों को शारीरिक रूप से स्वस्थ बना रहा है, बल्कि उन्हें आत्मविश्वास के साथ सकारात्मक जीवन जीने के लिए प्रेरित भी कर रहा है।

चित्तप्रशमनोपायो योग इत्यभिधीयते। प्राणस्पन्दनिरोधो वा द्वेधा योगस्य धारणा॥”
