NEW DELHI: After completing 45 hours of meditation at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid floral tributes to Tamil saint-poet Thiruvalluvar and penned a heartfelt letter reflecting on his spiritual journey.
The Prime Minister embarked on this profound journey on the evening of May 30 and spent around 45 hours in meditation before completing it on the evening of June 1. Immersed in deep contemplation day and night, PM Modi meditated at the Dhyan Mandapam, the place where revered philosopher Swami Vivekananda is believed to have had a divine vision of ‘Bharat Mata’.
His visit to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, a site of great spiritual significance, coincided with the climax of voting in the final phase of the Indian Lok Sabha elections. The southernmost tip of India, where the east and west coasts meet, is a symbolic meeting point of the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, underlining the unity of the nation.
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Kanniyakumari is reminiscent of the mythological account of Goddess Parvati meditating at the same place while waiting for Lord Shiva and sends a powerful message of national unity.
Ahead of this spiritual retreat, PM Modi wrapped up an energetic campaign in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur on Thursday, marking the culmination of around 206 election events spanning 75 days. Amid the frenzy of election campaigning, the PM gave around 80 interviews across various news and media platforms.
Modi, known for his penchant for spiritual introspection at the end of election campaigns, has visited Kedarnath in 2019 and Shivaji’s Pratapagarh in 2014, fitting this pattern.
