He is meditating at the same spot where Swami Vivekananda had meditated?
On Thursday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his 45-hour-long meditation at the famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari.
After wrapping up his hectic Lok Sabha election campaign, he reached the rock memorial by ferry service. A few hours later, he started his meditation on June 1.
He is meditating at the "dhyan mandapam". It is the same spot where Swami Vivekananda had meditated in 1892 to get a clear vision of the future of India.
It is also the meeting point of the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, and the Arabian Sea.
The first visuals of PM Modi in Kanyakumari showed him meditating in front of a statue of Swami Vivekananda.
Before starting his meditation, PM Modi was seen on the stairs leading to the mandapam, which offers breathtaking views of the sea surrounding the memorial from all sides.
Prime Minister Modi, aiming for a record third term, will likely leave for Delhi on June 1, just three days ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election result.
