In his post on X, the Prime Minister shared the following shloka, “आसनेन रुजो हन्ति प्राणायामेन पातकम्।
विकारं मानसं योगी प्रत्याहारेण सर्वदा॥
धारणाभिर्मनोधैर्यं याति चैतन्यमद्भुतम्।
समाधौ मोक्षमाप्नोति त्यक्त्त्वा कर्म शुभाशुभम्॥”
PM Modi said the verse reflects yoga’s timeless wisdom, explaining how physical postures remove ailments, controlled breathing purifies the mind, sensory withdrawal brings internal stability, concentration strengthens mental resilience and meditation leads to liberation beyond good and bad karma.
