The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has emphasized the importance of Mahatma Gandhi's life and ideals, quoting a Sanskrit Subhashitam to illustrate equanimity in joy and sorrow and forgiveness.
On October 2, 2026, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, reiterated that Mahatma Gandhi's life serves as a beacon of truth, non-violence, compassion, and service, illuminating humanity's path in every era. The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam to convey the ideal of a person who harbors no hatred, embraces all with friendship and compassion, is free from attachment and ego, remains equanimous in joy and sorrow, and is ever forgiving-such a person is the highest seeker. This sentiment was expressed by the Prime Minister in a post on X, accompanied by a picture of Mahatma Gandhi.
In the Sanskrit Subhashitam, the Prime Minister quoted: 'अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च। निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी॥'.
