Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed a 45-hour-long meditation at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Tamil Nadu’s Kanniyakumari on Saturday. In a handwritten note shared by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, PM Modi expressed that he now feels a “divine energy.”

“It is my fortune that today, after so many years, as India embodies the values and ideals of Swami Vivekananda, I too have had the opportunity to meditate at this sacred place,” wrote PM Modi.

The Prime Minister described the experience as “one of the unforgettable moments” of his life and pledged that every moment of his life and every particle of his body will always be “dedicated to the service of the nation.”

“With wishes for the progress of the nation and the welfare of its citizens, I offer my utmost reverence to ‘Ma Bharati’,” he added.

PM Modi reached Kanniyakumari on May 30 to meditate at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. According to mythology, Goddess Parvati also meditated on one foot at the same place as she waited for Lord Shiva.

“It is on this rock that Mother Parvati and Swami Vivekananda had meditated. Later, Eknath Ranade transformed this rock into a ‘Shila Smarak’ that brought Swami Vivekananda’s thoughts to life…Swami Vivekananda, a leader of spiritual renaissance, has been my ideal, my energy, and the source of my spirituality,” PM Modi wrote in his letter.

The Prime Minister’s meditation at the memorial comes at a time when the nation is embodying the values and ideals of Swami Vivekananda, making this event a significant moment in the country’s spiritual history.
