Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to all citizens on the occasion of Ayurveda Day through a social media post on September 23, 2026. In his message, the Prime Minister emphasized that Ayurveda represents not merely a system of treatment but a powerful medium for achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle. He called upon citizens to strengthen their resolve to embrace this rich heritage of traditional medicine.
The PM shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam (wise saying) that defines Ayurveda as the science that explains what lifestyle is beneficial or harmful for human beings, what constitutes happy or unhappy life, what distinguishes healthy from diseased life, and what should be adopted or avoided for long-term wellness. The verse specifically states: "Hitahitam sukham dukhamayustasya hitahitam. Manam cha tachcha yatroktamayurvedah sa uchyate" - meaning the science that elaborately discusses the nature and measure of lifespan, including what is beneficial or harmful, is called Ayurveda.
