Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the selfless spirit of service
April 27, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the selfless spirit of service among its citizens:

“छायामन्यस्य कुर्वन्ति तिष्ठन्ति स्वयमातपे।

फलान्यपि परार्थाय वृक्षाः सत्पुरुषा इव॥"

The Subhashitam conveys, "Trees bear the harsh sunlight themselves, yet they give shade to others. Their fruits are also meant for others. Trees are like selfless and noble people who always provide comfort and help to others.

Shri Modi said that true strength of a nation lies in the selfless spirit of service among its citizens. It inspires people to learn from one another and makes our society more strong, prosperous, and compassionate.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“राष्ट्र की असली शक्ति उसके नागरिकों की निःस्वार्थ सेवा भावना में निहित है। इससे लोग एक दूसरे से प्रेरित होते हैं, साथ ही हमारा समाज भी और समृद्ध होता है।

छायामन्यस्य कुर्वन्ति तिष्ठन्ति स्वयमातपे।

फलान्यपि परार्थाय वृक्षाः सत्पुरुषा इव॥"
