Our elders are very wise and visionary too. Subhashitas are rich repository of wisdom that guides contemporary life and as they are eternally relevant to the humanity. Where is the religion involved in this? ?Here is the meaning of Subhashita: ?A subhashita is a literary genre of Sanskrit epigrammatic poems and their message is an aphorism, maxim, advice, fact, truth, lesson or riddle.
