Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi extended greetings to everyone on the occasion of Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti on October 26, 2026. In his message, the Prime Minister stated that Maharishi Valmiki's noble thoughts have remained the fundamental elements of Indian culture and heritage, which will continue to nurture and enrich the nation across every era. He added that Valmiki's invaluable messages for humanity will forever serve as a guiding light for the citizens of the country.
The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the profound compassion of Maharshi Valmiki that gave birth to the very first shloka and laid the foundation of the Ramayana. The specific shloka shared translates to when Maharishi Valmiki went to gather kusha grass and sacrificial twigs and heard the plaintive call of the female krauncha bird, with the compassion awakened in his heart finding expression as a shloka that became the foundation of the Ramayana.
