PM Modi Mentions Two Americans Who Undertook Amarnath Yatra in Mann Ki Baat

“People from all over the world are coming to our pilgrimages. I came to know about two such American friends who came from California for Amarnath Yatra. They heard about the experiences of Swami Vivekananda related to Amarnath Yatra. They got so inspired that they themselves went on Amarnath Yatra. They consider it a blessing of Lord Shiva,” said PM Modi. Speaking about the global appeal of Indian pilgrimages, the Prime Minister said, “This is a speciality of India, that it accepts everyone and gives something or the other to everyone.x

“Earlier in July, the two US nationals described the beauty of undertaking the Amarnath Yatra and said they had a dream to come to the holy shrine and by Bholenath’s grace they have come there.

“Swami Vivekananda came to Amarnath, he had a very important experience. I have known of this story for 40 years. It seemed impossible and was a dream to come here. But by Bholenath’s grace, everything came together and here we are. We can’t explain how we feel,” said one of the US nationals during their pilgrimage.
