July 30, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that respect for nature, the environment and the entire creation lies at the very core of our existence. He called upon everyone to participate, with a spirit of gratitude and selfless service towards nature, in building a healthy, prosperous and strong nation.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“शं नो द्यावापृथिवी पूर्वहूतौ शमन्तरिक्षं दृशये नो अस्तु।

शं न ओषधीर्वनिनो भवन्तु शं नो रजसस्पतिरस्तु जिष्णुः॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that May Dyuloka and the Earth, which have been revered since the beginning of creation, always be auspicious for us. May the intermediate space between the Earth and the Sun be beneficial and enlightening for our lives. May all medicinal herbs and forest plants provide us with health, nourishment, and happiness. May the all-pervading and victorious Lord of all worlds ever grant us welfare, peace, and prosperity.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“प्रकृति, पर्यावरण और समस्त सृष्टि का सम्मान हमारे अस्तित्व के मूल में है। आइए, हम इनके प्रति पूरी कृतज्ञता और सेवाभाव के साथ एक स्वस्थ, समृद्ध और सशक्त राष्ट्र के निर्माण में सहभागी बनें।

शं नो द्यावापृथिवी पूर्वहूतौ शमन्तरिक्षं दृशये नो अस्तु।

शं न ओषधीर्वनिनो भवन्तु शं नो रजसस्पतिरस्तु जिष्णुः॥”
