Modi practices meditation ahead of final polls
(MENAFN) Ahead of the crucial final phase of India's national election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a spiritual journey to the southernmost tip of the country, where he plans to engage in two days of meditation. The serene setting of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, serves as the backdrop for Modi's contemplative retreat, echoing the spiritual legacy of Swami Vivekananda, a revered Hindu monk who is believed to have achieved enlightenment at the site in 1893.
The significance of Modi's meditative retreat draws parallels to a similar episode during the 2019 general election, where he spent a day meditating in a cave in Uttarakhand state. This spiritual practice coincided with the polling day and was followed by a resounding electoral victory for Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies.
Modi's embrace of spirituality has been a defining aspect of his leadership, with supporters lauding him for elevating India's spiritual heritage on the global stage. In a recent interview with NDTV, Modi expressed his conviction that he is guided by a higher purpose, suggesting a profound spiritual connection to his work. Despite claiming to be devoted to God's will, Modi admitted to being unaware of the specifics of his divine purpose, stating that he relies on divine guidance for direction.
As India awaits the final outcome of the election, Modi's spiritual retreat underscores the intertwining of spirituality and politics in the country's cultural landscape.
