Prime Minister Narendra Modi took part in the 11th International Day of Yoga celebrations in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He joined several yoga practioners in performing various yogasanas. Stating that yoga has united everyone, the PM remarked, "Yoga is for everyone, beyond boundaries, beyond backgrounds, beyond age or ability."
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today, highlighting the eight essential qualities that brighten a person's life and build character.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
"अष्टौ गुणाः पुरुषं दीपयन्ति प्रज्ञा सुशीलत्वदमौ श्रुतं च।
पराक्रमश्च बहुभाषिता च दानं यथाशक्ति कृतज्ञता च।।"
These eight qualities brighten a person's life. Wisdom shows him the right path. Good conduct keeps his character pure, and self-control keeps him disciplined. Knowledge gives him understanding, courage helps him stand firm in difficult situations, and skillful speech earns him respect in society. Giving according to one's ability and being grateful for kindness make a person complete.
अष्टौ गुणाः पुरुषं दीपयन्ति प्रज्ञा सुशीलत्वदमौ श्रुतं च।
