Chief Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi today described the ongoing 'abhishek' of Mahatma Mandir as a historic event to unite people from all over the world in love with Gujarat.

Appreciating the sarpanchs bringing soil and water in 'kalash' from respective villages and municipalities, he said there might be many instances of building modern and majestic memorials, but this one is unique as it links the man of the millennium with the feelings of the common man.

He exuded confidence this societal strength of Gujarat would become a collective strength of the state. He wished the prize scheme introduced for clean and healthy villages would encourage the sarpanchs lead from the front the campaign for rural uplift.

He listed the Rs.500-crore project to empower rural women through one lakh 'Sakhi Mandals', the 'Garib Kalyan Mela' to make the poor self-reliant and the 'Krishi Mahotsav' to make farmers prosperous as some of the projects the government has taken up for the welfare of the people.

Even as Shri Modi decided to remain present everyday through the 14-day 'abishek', he received sarpanchs from over 1,400 villages today.

Speaking on the occasion, Agriculture Minister Shri Dilipbhai Sanghani said that the Mahatma Mandir, being built with the efforts of the people from all the villages across the state, foretells a bright future.

Minister of State for Education Shri Jaysinh Chauhan said the Mahatma Mandir would also fulfill another dream of the Mahatma to spread education in all sections of the society. The function was attended by other ministers, MLAs, senior officers and a large number of people.

Prime Minister shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising that well-ordered standards must guide human conduct
May 20, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam, noting that righteous conduct is like a lamp that illuminates not only an individual but the entire society. Shri Modi highlighted that adopting this very ideal, the people of our country are engaged in nation-building today with complete restraint, capability, and devotion to duty.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"श्रेष्ठ आचरण वह दीपक है, जिससे व्यक्ति के साथ-साथ समाज भी आलोकित होता है। इसी आदर्श को अपनाते हुए हमारे देशवासी आज पूरे संयम, सामर्थ्य और कर्तव्यनिष्ठा से राष्ट्र निर्माण में जुटे हुए हैं।

तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ।
ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि।।"

The determination of what ought to be done and what ought not to be done should not rest upon subjective opinion or momentary impulse but upon a well-ordered standard grounded in the Śāstra, which imparts direction and discipline to conduct. Therefore, a person ought to act in accordance with that established system of standards, so that one's conduct becomes balanced, validated and meaningful.
