Voting for the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections is scheduled for June 1, following the announcement of the pre-poll code of conduct on May 30. Prime Minister Modi is set to visit Kanyakumari from May 30 to June 1, where he will meditate at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial for two days. This visit is significant as Swami Vivekananda also meditated at this renowned site.
The Prime Minister's itinerary includes a public meeting in Punjab on May 30 before heading to Tamil Nadu. On May 31, he is expected to visit the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari for his meditation session. The detailed official schedule for the tour has yet to be disclosed. Kanyakumari holds special significance as it was a place where Swami Vivekananda meditated and shared his vision for India.
The location is considered crucial in Vivekananda's life journey, similar to Sarnath for Gautama Buddha. By meditating at this historic site, Prime Minister Modi aims to actualize Vivekananda's vision of a developed India. In alignment with his past meditation practices, Prime Minister Modi previously meditated in the Rudra cave in Kedarnath in 2019 after concluding the Lok Sabha campaign.
This upcoming meditation session in Kanyakumari symbolizes his commitment to national development and unity, emphasizing the importance of the site where the east and west coasts merge, reflecting the unity of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea.
