Bharat Mata Mandir

Vivekananda Kendra, Vivekanandapuram - Kanyakumari.

Vivekananda Kendra proposes to construct a
Bharat Mata Mandir – a temple dedicated to
Bharat Mata – at Vivekanandapuram,
Kanyakumari. The proposal has come up in the
context of Swamiji's 150th year celebration across
the country and abroad. Swami Vivekananda's
association with Kanyakumari is well known. His
visit to Kanyakumari towards the conclusion of his
country-wide Parivrajaka life marks a turning
point, both in the life of Swamiji as well as in the
history of modern India. In Swamiji`s own words:
“At Cape Comorin, sitting in Mother Kumari's
temple, sitting on the last bit of Indian rock, I hit
upon a plan.”

“Reaching the shrine he fell prostrate in ecstasy

before her image. Worship finished, he crossed to a
rock which was separate from the mainland. About
him the ocean tossed and stormed, but in his mind
there was even a greater tempest.
