PM to meditate at Vivekananda Rock Memorial

AFTER an intense and prolonged campaign for the Lok Sabha elections and ahead of the results, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will delve deep into meditation at the 'dhyana mandapam' of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial located on a rock around 400 metres off the Kanniyakumari coast for over 45 hours (May 30 evening to June 1 evening).

The rock is surrounded by the Laccadive Sea where the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea meet.

Sources said that PM will meditate day and night at the same spot where Swami Vivekananda is believed to have meditated decades ago.

THE PM expected to start his meditation on the evening of May 30 and conclude it on June 1 evening. The PM is known to undertake spiritual journeys at the end of election campaigns. In 2019, he had visited Kedarnath and in 2014 he had visited Pratapgarh, where a battle was fought between the Maratha forces led by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Bijapur troops under general Afzal Khan.

In view of the PM's visit, security has been beefed up in and around Kanniyakumari.
