PM Modi to inaugurate Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre in Mysuru

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Mysuru on Saturday to inaugurate the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre – Viveka Smaraka at Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama, officials said.

The inauguration is scheduled to take place at 3.30 pm, following which the Prime Minister will also address the gathering, they said.

According to an official statement, the Viveka Smaraka commemorates Swami Vivekananda’s historic visit to Mysuru in November 1892



during his journey across India.

During his stay, Vivekananda delivered discourses, interacted with scholars and devotees, and received the patronage of Maharaja Sri Chamarajendra Wadiyar X, whose support enabled his journey to the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, it said.

Established at the historic Niranjana Math, the Viveka Smaraka is spread across a built-up area of over 81,000 square feet and comprises a main building and an annex block.
