History ::
In December 1892, Swami Vivekananda reached to Kanyakumari, and in temple he did SHASHTANG to Maa Kanyakumari with full emotion.
From there he see twin rock in mid-sea, and found that Maa Kanyakumari did her TAP, so he jump in Sea and reach there and did Meditation for beloved mother BHARATMATA.
He did meditation from 25th December 1892 to 27th December 1892, 3days & 3night on past, presence & future of BHARAT and got inspiration to carry the message of ancient India to the western world, which he did like cyclonic monk in World Parliamentary of Religion in Chicago September 1893.
Since his first speech in opening of World Parliamentary or Religion he become world famous. Swami Vivekananda was not the man to flee from triumph any more than from battle. He addressed people everywhere and said that the honour shown to him was the honour shown to the ideals the country had held dear from time immemorial.
To commemorate the historic meditation of Swami Vivekananda on the mid-sea rock at Kanyakumari on 25th, 26th and 27th December 1892, a magnificent memorial has been constructed. It was inaugurated in 1970 and has since become a point of National Convergence. Over the years, this concrete symbol of inspiration has drawn millions of pilgrims and provided them inspiration to serve the society.
As the Vivekananda Rock Memorial was taking shape, Shri Eknathji Ranade also envisaged a mission that would manifest the idea of Man-making and Nation-building. The result was the conception and formation of the Vivekananda Kendra as a spiritually oriented service mission, which reflected Swami Vivekananda's vision of glorious India in action. The Vivekananda Kendra is an eternal call for those youth who aspire to dedicate their life to serve the nation. It aims at national reconstruction through Man Making. To mould dedicated workers, the Kendra adopts a methodology unique to it by organising 'Yoga Varga' (classes), 'Samskar Varga', 'Swadhyaya Varga', 'Kendra Varga' and various training camps.
