Kanyakumari, India – June 1, 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has successfully completed a 45-hour long meditation retreat in the serene and spiritually significant region of Kanyakumari. Known for his practice of undertaking spiritual journeys at the conclusion of election campaigns, this retreat marks another chapter in Modi’s tradition of seeking solace and reflection at pivotal moments.
The Prime Minister commenced his meditation at the confluence of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean, a site revered for its spiritual energy and historical significance. The retreat was held in a secluded part of the region, away from the public eye, ensuring a tranquil environment conducive to deep meditation and contemplation.
In a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Modi emphasized the importance of spirituality and inner peace in guiding his leadership and decision-making processes. “These moments of meditation and reflection allow me to connect with my inner self, providing clarity and strength to serve the nation better,” Modi stated.

This meditation retreat follows a pattern observed in Modi’s previous spiritual journeys. In 2019, after the Lok Sabha elections, he visited Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, where he spent time in solitary meditation amidst the Himalayan peaks. Similarly, in 2014, post his electoral victory, he visited Pratapgarh in Maharashtra for a spiritual retreat. These journeys highlight Modi’s deep-rooted connection to India’s spiritual heritage and his belief in the power of meditation to rejuvenate and inspire.
