The Tip of Our Country was where Swami Vivekananda reached the tipping point, And could also be where you Rediscover Yourself and Your Spirit
Surrounded by sea on three sides, Bay of Bengal in the East, Indian ocean in the South and Arabian sea in the West, Cape Comorin in Kanyakumari, comes to life early in the morning. Tourists throng the beach every day by 6 am to witness the sunrise, one of the beautiful attractions of this place. Among the crowd that stood facing the East, braving a chilly early-morning breeze, I too stood in silence. After a few minutes, the silence broke. Someone from the crowd whistled. Somebody else clapped. An elderly couple bowed towards the East. Yes, the reddish-orange Sun had risen, seemingly from the ocean, far off at the horizon. One needs to be patient and pay attention when waiting for the sun to rise, for even if one shifts their focus for a second or two, one could miss the ethereal scene. Though one can always catch this very sight here the next day as well! But on full-moon days, this place, which is at a distance of 700 kms from Chennai, gains special significance in the evening. For at the very moment the sun sets, the moon rises at the horizon, as though their timing was planned by prior arrangement!
Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of the country, attracts many tourists from all over india. On working days, on an average, 1500 tourists come here. If it is a holiday, the number rises eightfold. Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue, Gandhi Memorial, Kumari Amman temple, as well as watching the sunrise and sunset, are all important attractions here.
Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue are located in the sea. One has to reach them by passenger boats. One first reaches Vivekanada Rock from where the boat takes us to a mammoth, 133 feet Thiruvalluvar Statue, recently built by the Tamil Nadu government in the memory of the great Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar.
Forty years ago, Vivekananda Memorial was built upon a rock island in the sea where the great Swami Vivekananda, meditated and is believed to have received enlightenment. This Memorial was a blend of various architectural styles of India. As I tumbled out of the boat, and went in, the sea was rough outside. But inside the meditation room, everything was calm.
