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 Modi — is believed to have had a divine vision about ‘Bharat Mata’.<\/caption>\n

\"Vivekananda<\/div>\nVivekananda Rock, also known as Vivekanandapuram Rock, is a small islet situated off the coast of Kanyakumari, India. It’s considered a sacred place due to its association with Swami Vivekananda. According to beliefs, Swami Vivekananda meditated on this rock in 1892, seeking spiritual enlightenment. The rock, where the PM will meditate, had a major impact on Vivekananda’s life and holds a similar significance in the monk’s life as Sarnath for Gautam Buddha, BJP officials said.<\/caption>\n
