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।
