Narendra Modi shared glimpses of his visit to Udupi, Karnataka today. He visited the Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi and participated the Laksha Kantha Gita Parayana programme—a devotional gathering of 100,000 participants, including students, monks, scholars, and citizens from various walks of life, who will recite the Srimad Bhagavad Gita in unison.
Prime Minister also inaugurated the Suvarna Teertha Mantapa, located in front of the Krishna sanctum, and dedicate the Kanaka Kavacha (golden cover) for the sacred Kanakana Kindi, a sacred window through which the saint Kanakadasa is believed to have had the divine darshan of Bhagwan Krishna. Sri Krishna Matha, Udupi, was established over 800 years ago by Sri Madhvacharya, the founder of the Dvaita philosophy of Vedanta.
In various posts on X, Shri Modi said:
“Glad to be in Udupi, a place associated with devotion, learning and tradition. The welcome I’ve received in Udupi will always be etched in my memory. Grateful to the people.”
