April 10, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today highlighting the importance of staying calm and thinking wisely during difficult situations.

The Prime Minister remarked that the youth of the country accomplish whatever they resolve to achieve. Shri Modi observed that it is the strength of our youth power that is propelling the nation forward on the path of rapid development.

The Prime Minister wrote on X:

"देश के युवा जो ठान लेते हैं, उसे करके दिखाते हैं। यह हमारी युवाशक्ति का ही सामर्थ्य है कि हमारा राष्ट्र आज तेज गति से विकास के पथ पर अग्रसर है।

व्यसने वाऽर्थकृच्छ्रे वा भये वा जीवनान्तके।
विमृशन् वै स्वया बुद्ध्या धृतिमान् नावसीदति॥"

In times of trouble, financial crisis, or danger to life, a person who stays calm and thinks wisely does not break down. In difficult situations, calm and thoughtful decisions protect him from sorrow and loss.
