Swami Vivekananda Memorial on the rock at  Kanyakumari- The 100 Th Birth Anniversary of  Honorable  Eknath Ranade Who was its  Architect.
                                                                         The 100 Th Anniversary celebration  of  Manniya Eknaath Ranade  has already started. The' RRS' had assigned this impossible and very difficult work to Ekanathji then as he had to work with the people with different wasted interest. However he was determine to create the memorial of a great  son of India at the rock where he mediated for several days to get the message of Hinduism for the whole Universe. Here only he decided then to go to' Dhrama Sansad 'of the world at USA  for giving message of Hinduism. Swami Vivekananda is still inspiration for the youth of India. The memorial is the living symbol of Swami Vivekananda.

                                                                        Manniya Ekanathji has not to struggle only with local forces but also political forces even then. He proved that he was not less then any clever diplomat in the world by creating the memorial on the rock where Swami Vivekananda  was inspired. Narendra Modi , Prime Minister of India also gave Manniya Eknathji Ranade very befitting tribute at the time of the '100th Anniversary celebration  Function.  Manniya Eknathji also had also opportunities to meet Sardar Patel and Lal Bahadur Shastri at the time of implementing the Swami Vivekananda memorial project. They also gave tributes to  Manniya Eknaathji. Sardar Patel Said ' People knows me as" Iron Man" but Eknathji is "Poladi Man". Lalbahadur Shastri also said that Congress should have such one person like Eknathji  for enslaving the whole  Congress party.
                                                                       I was very much impressed and inspired by the Vivekananda Memorial that had visited that place twice at Kanyakumari. Kanyakumaari it self is a very beautiful  place where all three Seas( i.e. Sea of Bengal, Arabian Sea and South Sea) meets and  can be seen the three different colors of water. Even the Sunset at Kanyakumari is the most beautiful, Scenic and colorful. Besides that if one sit on the rock or sit for mediation at Memorial Hall then one will feel the peace of mind and some types of vibrations which makes one life full of joy and pleasure. Therefore India is forever indebted to great dedicated person like Maniya  Eknathji Ranade for creating the great Memorial of Vivekananda at Kanyakumari.

That is Kanyakumari-
Kanyakumari  is the one end of India
which goes deep in the seas of south.
Where Swami Vivekananda once mediated
and now thousands of Indians are inspired
That is Kanyakumari-
Where the Heritage of Hindu culture is preserved
Where Wind also blows to give Peace and Joy
 It is a place where Swamiji started his mission
And  is a place from where Indian culture flourished
That is Kanyakumari-
That is a place called Kanyakumari
which is scenic and the most beautiful in the world.
That is Kanyakumari-
