“Bahujan Sukhaya” (बहुजन सुखाय) is a famous Sanskrit/Pali-style phrase that means:


“For the happiness/welfare of the many.”


You’ll often see it as part of the longer line:


“Bahujan hitāya, bahujan sukhāya”

👉 “For the benefit of many, for the happiness of many.”


It’s commonly associated with Buddhist teachings, and in modern times it’s also used in social justice / public welfare contexts — basically the idea that society and leadership should work for the good of the majority, not just a few.


If you want, I can also give you:


  • the original full phrase,
  • correct pronunciation,
  • and where it comes from.
