Did you know PM Modi used to stay in jungle for five days every year

Date:

New Delhi: The life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inspired many and it is no less than an interesting story.

Recently, PM Modi revealed that he use to go and stay in the jungle for five days every year to reflect on his life.

“Not many people know this, but I would go away for the 5 days of Diwali. Somewhere in a jungle – a place with only clean water and no people. I would pack enough food to last for those 5 days,” PM Modi was quoted by popular Facebook page Humans of Bombay.

“There would be no radio’s or newspapers, and during that time, there was no TV or internet anyway. I would reflect – and the strength that this alone time gave me still helps me to handle life and its various experiences. People often asked me, “Who are you going to meet?’ And I would say, ‘मैं मुझसे मिलने जा रहा हूं।’ He added.

From his experience, PM Modi urged young individuals to take out time from their busy schedule for themselves.

“Which is why, I always urge everyone, especially my young friends, in the midst of your fast-paced life and busy schedules, take some time off…think and introspect. It will change your perception – you will understand your inner self better,” Modi said.

“You will start living in the true sense of the word. It will also make you more confident and undeterred by what others say about you. All of these things will help you in times to come. So I just want each and every one of you to remember that you are special and that you don’t have to look outside for the light…it’s already within you.”

In the interview which was posted on Tuesday PM Modi also talked about his childhood days when he was inducted in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and his two-year-long trip to the Himalayas when he was 17 years old.

“After coming back from the Himalayas, I knew that I wanted my life to be one that is lived in the service of others. Within a short span of returning, I left for Ahmedabad. It was my first brush with living in a big city – the pace of life was very different. I began my time thereby occasionally helping my uncle at his canteen,” he said.

“Eventually, I became a full-time Pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. There, I got the opportunity to interact with people from different walks of life and do a wide range of work. We all took turns to clean the RSS office, prepare tea and food for colleagues and clean utensils,” he said.
