PM Modi meets ailing Swami Atmasthananda Maharaj President of Ramkrishna Math

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met the ailing Swami Atmasthananda Maharaj, president of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission Order, whom he considers his 'guru'. This was Mr Modi's second visit after May 9, last year to the Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratisthan in Kolkata, where the 98-year-old monk is recovering from age-related illness. <br/>Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratisthan Secretary Swami Satyadevananda Maharaj said that the Prime Minister spent about 15 minutes in the hospital. The two asked about each other's well-being during the short exchange, as the senior monk was not in a condition to talk much. Mr Modi used to get spiritual guidance from Swami Atmasthanand when both of them were in Rajkot.
