06 Feb, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today drew upon India's timeless civilizational wisdom, invoking a prayer that reflects the nation's collective aspiration for health, longevity, and devotion to service.

The Prime Minister emphasized that this invocation embodies the spirit of India's cultural heritage-where reverence for the Earth, commitment to well-being, and dedication to service form the foundation of national progress.

Quoting an ancient Sanskrit verse, the Prime Minister said:

"उपस्थास्ते अनमीवा अयक्ष्मा अस्मभ्यं सन्तु पृथिवि प्रसूताः।

दीर्घं न आयुः प्रतिबुध्यमाना वयं तुभ्यं बलिहृतः स्याम॥"
