Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the spirit of selfless service and compassion
May 06, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that work done with a selfless spirit is the truest form of humanity. He noted that such actions not only bring inner happiness but also contribute to the welfare of society.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“अद्रोहः सर्वभूतेषु कर्मणा मनसा गिरा।
अनुग्रहश्च दानं च शीलमेतत्प्रशस्यते॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that to hold no hatred towards any living being-in thought, word, or deed, to act with compassion towards all, and to give generously-this is regarded as the highest form of conduct.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“निस्वार्थ भाव से किया गया कर्म ही सच्ची मानवता है। इससे आत्मिक खुशी तो मिलती ही है, समाज का भी कल्याण होता है।

अद्रोहः सर्वभूतेषु कर्मणा मनसा गिरा।

अनुग्रहश्च दानं च शीलमेतत्प्रशस्यते॥”
