Engrossed in the serene ambiance of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a spiritual journey in Kanniyakumari. It was here, where the illustrious Swami Vivekananda once sought solace in meditation. Amidst the tranquil surroundings of the Dhyan Mandapam, a site resonating with the essence of the revered Hindu philosopher’s divine connection to ‘Bharat Mata’, PM Modi immersed himself in deep contemplation.
His meditation, a testament to his spiritual pursuit, commenced on Friday and is slated to transcend into the dawn of June 1st. Thursday marked his arrival at the hallowed grounds of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari, a place steeped in mythology, where even Goddess Parvati herself is said to have engaged in austere meditation while awaiting the presence of Lord Shiva.
Situated at the southernmost tip of India, this sacred site serves as a convergence point for the Eastern and Western coastlines, where the vast expanses of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea intermingle. PM Modi’s presence in Kanyakumari echoes a resonant message of national unity, a sentiment further reinforced by his earlier visit to the Bhagavathy Amman Temple in Tamil Nadu, following the culmination of his arduous Lok Sabha election campaign.
Having concluded his campaign endeavors in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur on Thursday, PM Modi, on the brink of the final phase of the general elections slated for June 1st, remains steadfast in his pursuit of securing a third term for the Bharatiya Janata Party. With an exhaustive itinerary encompassing over 206 election campaign events, ranging from spirited rallies to engaging roadshows, and coupled with approximately 80 interviews across various news and media platforms, PM Modi’s tireless efforts underscore his unwavering commitment to the democratic process.
Renowned for embarking on spiritual odysseys at the culmination of electoral endeavors, PM Modi’s pilgrimage to Kanyakumari follows in the footsteps of his previous visits to Kedarnath in 2019 and Shivaji’s Pratapgarh in 2014. As the nation eagerly awaits the outcome of the fiercely contested Lok Sabha elections, spanning seven phases from April 19th onwards, the impending counting of votes on June 4th holds the promise of shaping the future trajectory of Indian democracy.
