Kanyakumari: PM Modi has begun meditation at Vivekananda Rock, but it is not continuous meditation, prayer or continuous chanting.
On Thursday evening, the Prime Minister offered Bhoomi Vandanam, Samudravandanam and Sandhyavandanam in front of the Vivekananda idol, followed by prayers and puja. The meditation began at 8 pm. The Prime Minister meditated on a platform prepared in front of the idol and later went to his room to get ready for sleep.
He had breakfast yesterday morning after Surya Vandanam and 108 Gayatri Japam Yoga. After that he meditated. Meditation for 45 hours is not an austerity of sitting and not getting up, sleeping or resting. If anything is done during this time, it is only meditation. He eats fruits and drinks water, panchagavya and coconut water.
“During this time, the Prime Minister keeps his mind busy with meditation and his body busy with yoga. PM Modi does not talk to anyone and no one is allowed to come near him. He is engaged only in thinking and chanting.
There is heavy security at Vivekananda Rock. The security includes Navy, self-propelled artillery and Air Force. No one is allowed to enter or leave Vivekananda Kendra. Vavathurai, the entrance to the Vivekananda Centre, is under police guard.
The meditation will conclude at 3.30 pm today, after which Modi will reach Kanyakumari by boat and then fly to Thiruvananthapuram by helicopter from where he will fly to Delhi at 5.30 pm, attended only by his security personnel and a few personal staff.
