Prime Minister Narendra Modi Shares Heartwarming Moment With Newborn Calf 'Deepjyoti'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared a heartwarming moment from his residence at Delhi's Lok Kalyan Marg. On Saturday, he introduced a newborn calf named 'Deepjyoti' in a video posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Citing the ancient Sanskrit scripture "Gaav: Sarvasukha Prada:" (Cows bring all forms of happiness), the Prime Minister emphasized the spiritual significance of the new arrival.

The video features PM Modi interacting tenderly with Deepjyoti, who bears a distinctive mark on its forehead resembling a symbol of light. In the footage, the Prime Minister is seen sitting beside the calf in the temple at his residence, gently stroking its forehead and walking with it in his garden.

This gesture aligns with PM Modi's past interactions with cows. Earlier this year, during Makar Sankranti, he posted a video feeding Punganur cows, an indigenous breed known for its small stature and resilience to arid conditions. Punganur cows are also renowned for their nutritious milk and cultural significance in rural India.

In his tweet, PM Modi said, "It is said in our scriptures - 'Gaav: Sarvasukha Prada:'. An auspicious new member has arrived in the Prime Minister's residence on Lok Kalyan Marg. The beloved mother cow has given birth to a calf with a symbol of light on its forehead, so I have named it 'Deepjyoti.'"
