ॐ सुभाषिता
Subhashita means good speech. They are wise sayings, instructions and stories, either in poetry or in prose composed in Sanskrit language which is considered as the "Mother of all Languages". The great subhashitas are composed by ancient saints and scholars which can be dated back to 5000 BC Some of the well known sanskrit scholars include Bhartrhari, Subhashita Ratna bhandagara and Somadeva Bhatta. The Panchatantra and the Hitopadesha also belong to this category. This compilation draws from all these sources in addition to the Bhagvad Geetha and other Puranas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata. Subhasitas act as teacher in formulating the sense of morality and character, which sums up the total of a person’s virtues including dispositions, behaviors, habits, likes, dislikes, capacities, traits, ideals, ideas, values, feelings, and intuitions.
By understanding the meaning and practicing the disciplines in real life can cultivate a strong and morally superior character
About this site
I was fortunate enough to read some books related to subhashita and it's translation. These books were written in my native language kannada and I decided them to translate to english and share with the world. I am making a humble effort to make this website a centralized repository for the subhashita's and I am thankful to Google to provide such a powerful and easy to use website. I have also gathered subhashita's from different blogs and included here.
