Prime Minister Emphasises the Need to Rise Above Anger for National Harmony invoking a Sanskrit shloka

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a profound message underscoring the destructive nature of anger and the importance of inner restraint for individual wellbeing and collective progress.

Quoting an ancient Sanskrit verse, the Prime Minister reflected on how anger weakens judgment, disrupts social harmony, and diminishes human potential.

In a post on X, Shri Modi said:

“क्रोधः प्राणहरः शत्रुः क्रोधो मित्रमुखो रिपुः।

क्रोधो ह्यसिर्महातीक्ष्णः सर्व क्रोधोऽपकर्षति॥”

क्रोधः प्राणहरः शत्रुः क्रोधो मित्रमुखो रिपुः।
