Prime Minister Narendra Modi will start a three-day journey to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu from May 30 to June 1, continuing his meditation tradition ahead of the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections. He will meditate at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial as the weeks-long political campaign comes to a conclusion. Swami Vivekananda saw Bharat Mata during a meditation session at the Rock Memorial in 1892, inspiring PM Modi s vision of a Viksit Bharat. The location is spiritually and culturally significant with stories of Goddess Kanyakumari worshiping Lord Shiva.
Modi’s reverence for Swami Vivekananda as a role model is well-documented. As a young man, he was a member of the Ramakrishna Mission, a spiritual and philanthropic organization founded by Swami Vivekananda. Speaking at the Mission’s 125th anniversary celebrations, Modi lauded Swami Vivekananda’s grand vision for India and expressed his commitment to fulfilling this vision. - Newsx
