Visiting Thanumalayan Temple

The Thanumalayan Temple is located in Suchindram near Kanyakumari and is dedicated to the three deities—Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma.

According to PTI, the beach is off-limits to tourists from Thursday to Saturday, and private boats are prohibited from operating.

Modi had taken similar breaks at the conclusion of the election campaigns in 2014, when he visited Pratapgarh, the site of a historic battle between the Maratha forces led by Shivaji and the Bijapur troops under General Afzal Khan, and in 2019, when he became the first person to meditate in a special cave in Kedarnath.

The Congress has opposed PM Modi’s visit to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, alleging that he is attempting to “circumvent” the restrictions of the silence period with his 48-hour meditation trip in Kanyakumari. They have urged the Election Commission to ensure that the visit is not broadcasted by the media, claiming it violates the model code of conduct, and have filed a formal complaint with the poll body.

Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi, following a meeting of a Congress delegation with ECI officials, stated that Modi’s meditation is a direct violation of the model code of conduct.

“…You are either campaigning this way or publicising yourself through new channels and print media,” Singhvi said.

PM Modi’s 33-Year-Old Photo Surfaces as He Visits Kanyakumari to Meditate

May 30, 2024, 8:43 pm

Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his intense election campaign and arrived in Kanyakumari today for a two-day meditation at the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Interestingly, on Thursday, old pictures of PM Modi from the same spot emerged on social media, dating back to December 11, 1991.

These images are from the Ekta Yatra, which commenced from the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and extended all the way to Kashmir. In the viral photos, PM Modi, along with party veteran Dr Murli Manohar Joshi and other participants of the Ekta Yatra, can be seen paying homage at the statue of Swami Vivekananda.

The Ekta Yatra, also known as the Unity March, was launched in December 1991 from Kanyakumari and concluded on January 26, 1992, with the hoisting of the national flag in Srinagar. Led by veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi, PM Modi, then a BJP worker, played a pivotal role in organizing the march.

The goal of the Ekta Yatra was to showcase India’s unity and resolve against terrorism. Passing through 14 states, the journey resonated deeply with the people, reaffirming the nation’s commitment to unity.

PM Modi’s current visit to Kanyakumari includes a 48-hour meditation at the Dhyan Mandapam, where Swami Vivekananda meditated in 1892. The Rock Memorial stands as a tribute to the Hindu philosopher-saint, symbolizing India’s aspirations for development.

Legend has it that Swami Vivekananda meditated at this spot for three days, receiving a vision for a prosperous India. This spiritual journey mirrors PM Modi’s previous post-election retreat in 2019 when he visited Uttarakhand and meditated inside a cave near the Kedarnath shrine, drawing global attention.

He intends to meditate at the Dhyan Mandapam, the spot where Swami Vivekananda once meditated, from May 30 evening to June 1 evening.

This location signifies the southernmost tip of India, where the country’s eastern and western coastlines converge, along with the meeting point of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea. PM Modi’s visit to Kanyakumari symbolizes national unity.

Known for undertaking spiritual journeys at the conclusion of election campaigns, PM Modi visited Kedarnath in 2019 and Shivaji’s Pratapgarh in 2014. He commenced his poll campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha election in Kanniyakumari on March 16 this year.

Congress Objects to Modi’s Kanyakumari Meditation; Lodges Complaint To ECI

May 30, 2024, 2:56 pm

The Congress has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s planned two-day meditation retreat in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, from Thursday to Saturday will breach the 48-hour silence period before the final phase of Lok Sabha polling. Modi’s office announced on Tuesday that he will meditate at Kanyakumari’s Rock Memorial, coinciding with the seventh phase of the elections on Saturday. Modi had similar meditation breaks at the end of the 2014 and 2019 election campaigns.

“We have no problem if any leader keeps a fast of silence or campaigns, but during the silence period, there should be no campaigning,” stated Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi after a Congress delegation met with ECI officials on Wednesday.

The delegation submitted 28 complaints of alleged Model Code of Conduct (MCC) violations by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders, including Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Singhvi noted that the silence period before the polling starts on May 30 and lasts until June 1, arguing that Modi’s meditation violates the MCC. “…you are either campaigning this way or publicizing yourself through news channels and print media,” Singhvi asserted.

There was no immediate response from the ECI on whether the BJP has sought permission for Modi’s meditation during the silence period.

Singhvi suggested that Modi could begin his meditation on Saturday evening. If Modi insists on starting on Thursday evening, Singhvi proposed that the ECI should prohibit all media coverage of it. “He is a candidate himself in the last phase. About 55 constituencies are going to polls in the last phase. Such publicity should not be allowed,” Singhvi emphasized.

The Congress also accused the BJP of spreading “false, misleading, and divisive” posts on X (formerly Twitter) to push a narrative about wealth redistribution favoring a religious minority. They pointed to doctored videos of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s speech circulated on May 10 to mislead voters.

The Congress’s X account in Jharkhand was blocked, and party members in Telangana were arrested over a doctored video involving Shah.

Six of the 28 complaints involved Modi’s “derogatory” and “communal” remarks, accusing him of falsely claiming that Congress seeks to redistribute wealth among Muslims, referred to pejoratively as “those who do Vote Jihad.” They also cited Modi’s interviews with India Today and Aaj Tak aired on May 13, during the fourth phase of polling, as violations of the MCC and the Representation of People Act (RPA).

In three complaints against Adityanath, the Congress alleged that he accused the party of historically supporting “terrorism,” violating the MCC, RPA, and the Indian Penal Code. Two complaints were filed against Shah’s speeches.

The Congress also claimed that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged people on May 22 to vote based on religion while falsely portraying Congress as communal. They added that voters in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana received calls from the US to vote for the BJP, violating the MCC and RPA.

The beach will be off-limits to tourists from Thursday to Saturday, and private boats will be prohibited from operating.

The district, located at India’s southernmost point, will have a substantial security presence, with 2,000 police officers and various security agencies maintaining strict vigilance during the PM’s event.

PM Modi To Meditate At Kanyakumari’s Vivekananda Memorial Rock

May 28, 2024, 3:00 pm

On May 30, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to make a significant visit to Kanyakumari, located in Tamil Nadu. This visit holds particular importance as it precedes the declaration of India’s Lok Sabha poll results on June 4.

It is reported that he will spend two days there, engaging in meditation at the esteemed Vivekananda Rock Memorial, a site dedicated to honoring the legacy of Swami Vivekananda.

Even before, he engaged in meditation at locations such as Kedarnath in preparation for the 2019 Lok Sabha election results.

Significance Of This Location

It is widely believed that Swami Vivekananda, before departing for his momentous speech at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1893, engaged in deep meditation on this rock. This act, attributed to him, led to the naming of this location in his honor as the Vivekananda Memorial Rock.

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial, a creation of the celebrated architect Eknath Ranade, stands majestically on an island rock in the midst of the meeting point of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean, representing the unity of the three oceans and the harmony of diverse cultures and religions in India.

The memorial also houses a statue of Vivekananda and the Vivekananda Kendra, which promotes spiritual and cultural education, making it a center for learning and introspection.

It is a major tourist attraction drawing visitors from across the world to experience its serene ambiance, panoramic views of the ocean, and the memorial dedicated to Swami Vivekananda. The area also has a functioning lighthouse, frequented by tourists.

For many, the rock symbolizes courage, introspection, and the pursuit of knowledge, serving as an inspiration for individuals seeking spiritual enlightenment and inner peace.

How To Reach The Island?

Visitors can access the memorial by embarking on a brief boat journey, which is facilitated by the local authorities. This service is operational from the early hours of the morning until late afternoon, providing ample time for exploration.

An intriguing aspect is that the ticket for the boat ride encompasses not only the transportation but also grants entry to the memorial itself and other adjacent tourist attractions, offering a comprehensive and convenient experience for visitors.

Indian politicians’ assertions of reclaiming Katchatheevu island are baseless : Sri Lanka

April 5, 2024, 2:38 pm

Indian politicians’ assertions of reclaiming the Katchatheevu island are baseless, as stated by Sri Lanka’s Minister of Fisheries, Douglas Devananda.

Devananda’s comments come amidst a political dispute in India preceding the upcoming general elections. The ruling BJP, vying for a third consecutive term, has accused its rival, the Congress, of relinquishing Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka.

In response to the controversy, Devananda, the Sri Lankan minister, attributed the uproar to India’s Lok Sabha polls, scheduled to commence on April 19. “It is election time there. So, it is not unusual to hear such noises of claims and counter-claims about Katchatheevu. The statements on ‘reclaiming’ Katchatheevu from Sri Lanka have no ground,” he remarked.

Devananda suggested that New Delhi seeks to the island to restrict Sri Lankan fishermen’s access to the area and ensure that Colombo does not assert any rights in that resourceful region.

He also referenced the “West Bank,” a substantially larger area than Katchatheevu, located below Kanyakumari. “There claims to be a place called West Bank, which is located below Kanyakumari. It is a much bigger area with extensive sea resources. It is 80 times bigger than Katchatheevu…India secured it at the 1976 review agreement,” he explained.

Kanyakumari, situated in Tamil Nadu, a southern Indian state governed by Congress ally DMK, has drawn accusations from the BJP of negligence towards Katchatheevu. Conversely, both parties have accused the Narendra Modi government of “misleading” the public and questioned its silence on the matter despite being in power for a decade.

Regarding the 1974 pact signed by the Congress-led government under Indira Gandhi with Sri Lanka, which permitted Indian fishermen to access Katchatheevu without travel documents, India’s External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, recently noted at a press conference that an additional agreement in 1976 revoked this right.

November 26, 2022, 5:42 pm

Ahead of Gujarat Assembly polls Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from the Manavadar assembly seat, Jawahar Chavda slammed Aam Aadmi Party and Congress and said both the parties do not offer any competition and BJP will win.

“Bharat Jodo? I think it is useless. After the scrapping of Article 370, the entire India became one. Congress doesn’t want to win, that’s what I felt while staying in the party,” Chavda said.

Meanwhile, in the Ahir community, Chavda is one of the most influential leaders. Earlier in 2019 Jawahar Chavda resigned from Congress and joined BJP.

After joining BJP Chavda was given the responsibility and was made the Cabinet minister of Tourism and Fisheries in the state government.

“For the last 32 years, I’m here and won around five polls. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is nowhere in the picture. Congress is trying its level best,” Chavda said.

Moreover in the Gujarat assembly elections, the BJP leader is hopeful to win the election from the Manavadar seat of Junagadh.

“It’s easier for me to win this time as I proved what power can do and how I can help people,” Chavda said.

However, Bharat Jodo Yatra began on September 7 from Kanyakumari, and currently, it has covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra and is in Madhya Pradesh. In the history of India, this is the longest march foot done by any Indian politician.

Rahul Gandhi calls tribals “Asli malik of India”

November 21, 2022, 5:43 pm

Firing a fresh salvo on BJP in Gujarat Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said the BJP party wants tribals to live in forests.

Meanwhile, in Surat, the former Congress president lashed BJP and said the saffron side does not want the tribals to live in the city or don’t want their children to become engineers.

The former Congress president called the tribals “Asli malik (real owner)” of India. “They want you to live in the jungle, but do not stop there. After that, they start taking the jungle from you. If it continues like this, then in another 5-10 years, all the jungles will be in the hands of two-three industrialists, and you will have no place to live, and won’t get an education, health, and jobs,” Rahul Gandhi said.

Nowadays, Congress leaders are on Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on 7 September from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.

Talking about Bharat Jodo Yatra Rahul said, “Those who participated in the yatra suffered blisters in their feet, and two of them sadly their lives as well. However, the march did not stop,”

Moreover, Rahul Gandhi along with all the party MPs, leaders, and workers are staying in containers in which ACs, toilets, and sleeping beds are also installed. Keeping in view the intense heat and humidity with the change of places the container has been made.

However, in some past polls, Congress suffered a debacle and this Yatra is to increase the party rank for the upcoming electoral battles.

Furthermore, the assembly elections in Gujarat will take place on 1 December and 5 December and the counting of the votes will take place on 8 December.
