June 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that affectionate respect and acceptance make an individual feel valued, proud and satisfied. He noted that such recognition not only enhances self-confidence but also infuses a person with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“त्वत्सम्भावितमात्मानं बहु मन्यामहे वयम्‌ ।

प्रायः प्रत्ययमाधत्ते स्वगुणेषूत्तमादरः।। ”

The Subhashitam conveys that we feel extremely proud and blessed to be accepted with respect by any person, because it is absolutely true that respect given by great men strongly awakens self-confidence in a person about his own qualities.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“स्नेहपूर्ण सम्मान और स्वीकार्यता व्यक्ति को गर्व और संतोष का अनुभव कराती है। इससे जहां आत्मविश्वास बढ़ता है, वहीं एक नई ऊर्जा और उत्साह का भी संचार होता है।

त्वत्सम्भावितमात्मानं बहु मन्यामहे वयम्‌ ।

प्रायः प्रत्ययमाधत्ते स्वगुणेषूत्तमादरः।।”
