Where is Modi going before the last phase of voting? That place has a special connection with Swami Vivekananda

New Delhi: Voting for the last and seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections is to be held on June 1. Prime Minister Narendra Modi may visit Kanyakumari before the last phase of voting. Where he/she can meditate at Vivekananda Rock Memorial. According to reports, PM Modi will reach Kanyakumari on the evening of May 30 after the conclusion of the Lok Sabha election campaign. After this he/she can go to Vivekananda Rock Memorial. From the evening of May 30 to the evening of June 1, PM Modi will meditate at Dhyan Mandapam. Swami Vivekananda also meditated at this place. Kanyakumari is the same place where Swami Vivekananda had the vision of Bharat Mata. This rock had a great impact on Swami Vivekananda’s life. People believe that just as Sarnath holds a special place in Gautam Buddha’s life, similarly this rock holds a special place in Swami Vivekananda’s life. Swami Vivekananda reached here after roaming around the country and meditated for three days and dreamed of a ‘developed India’.

PM Modi’s plan to visit Swami Vivekananda’s meditation site and meditate reflects PM Modi’s commitment to bring the vision of ‘Developed India’ to life. This is the same place where, according to religious beliefs, Goddess Parvati sat on one leg and waited for Lord Shiva. This is the southernmost tip of India. Apart from this, this is the same place where the eastern and western coastlines of India meet. It is also the meeting point of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. PM Modi wants to give a sign of national unity by visiting Kanyakumari. It also shows Prime Minister Modi’s deep commitment and love towards Tamil Nadu that he/she is visiting the state even after the elections are over. However, this is not the first time that PM Modi is going to meditate at a special place after the elections are over. Earlier, after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections were over, PM Modi visited Kedar Dham in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand, where he/she meditated in the nearby Rudra Cave.
