PM Modi to embark on two-day meditation at Kanyakumari rock memorial on May 30

PM Modi will meditate from the evening of May 30 to the evening of June 1 at Dhyan Mandapam, the place where Vivekananda - a spiritual icon admired by PM Modi - is believed to have had a divine vision about ‘Bharat Mata’, BJP leaders said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on May 30 embark on a near two-day meditation exercise at the famed Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari, and the district has come under a thick security blanket following the high profile event.

All arrangements, including heavy security, are in place for PM Modi's 45-hour stay at the famed, mid-sea memorial, named after the revered Hindu saint.

PM Modi will meditate at Rock Memorial, a monument built in tribute to Swami Vivekananda, following the culmination of the Lok Sabha polls campaign later today, BJP leaders had said. The PM had undertaken a similar exercise in a Kedarnath cave after the 2019 poll campaign.

As the meditation coincides with the silence period ahead of the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha elections on June 1, Opposition Congress and DMK have expressed reservation and moved the Election Commission against the PM's spiritual sojourn.

The Prime Minister is also likely to offer prayers at the famous Sri Bhagavathy Amman temple in Kanyakumari. Ahead of his departure on June 1, PM Modi is likely to visit the Thiruvalluvar statue, a towering 133 ft sculpture erected for the Tamil bard. The complex is located adjacent to the rock memorial.
