VARANASI: Union minister Prakash Javadekar today released Sanskrit translation of selected poems written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at BHU here.
Releasing the poems, written originally in Gujarati by Modi and translated by award-winning translator and Sanskrit scholar Rajalakshmi Srinivasan, Javadekar said, “They reveal about his (PM’s) patriotic thoughts and actions.”
Written as ‘Aankh Aa Dhanya Che’ in Gujarati, the Sanskrit translation comes with the title ‘Naynam Idam Dhanyam’.
“The poetry is reflection of PM’s thoughts and action, his patriotic feelings, and sensitiveness towards our villages, the poor, the farmers and our soldiers,” Javadekar said.
Invoking Modi’s humble background, Javadekar, the PM has love and respect for army jawan since his childhood.
“His sensitiveness towards our jawans can be gauged by the act that when our jawnas used to offer money during their train journey for tea, Modi and his family refused to accept the money out of love and respect for them,” he said.
The Minister said the Sanskrit version of this poetry book is an effort to promote the language and also for the benefit of Sanskrit-loving people. (AGENCIES)
