MUMBAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has revealed that he used to spend five days every Diwali in a jungle and introspect during his formative years
Practice that still gives him strength to handle life and its various experiences.
During an interview to Facebook page ‘Humans of Bombay’, he offered glimpses of his life as a youth and his spiritual journey to find the purpose of life.
“Not many people know this, but I would go away for the five days every Diwali. Somewhere in a jungle, a place with only clean water and no people. I would pack enough food to last for those five days. There would be no radio or newspapers, and during that time, there was no TV or internet anyway,” Modi said.
The transcript of the interview was posted on the Facebook page by the ‘Humans of Bombay’ on Wednesday. A portion of the transcript was also posted on the Twitter handle of the Prime Minister.
According to its website, ‘Humans of Bombay’ is a team of story-tellers that concentrates on the journey of individuals, showing its followers that each and every person is unique, inspirational, and relatable.
“I would reflect and – the strength that this alone time gave me still helps me to handle life and its various experiences,” Modi said. (AGENCIES)
