Swami Vivekananda and the Youth of India: A Vision for Today

 Bing Videos

Introduction

Swami Vivekananda, the fiery monk of India, once declared: “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.” His words continue to echo across generations, especially for the youth of India who stand at the crossroads of modern challenges and eternal values. In today’s scenario, where health concerns, drug abuse, career pressures, and cultural erosion threaten young minds, Vivekananda’s teachings offer a guiding light—anchoring them in spirituality, ethics, and responsibility towards society and the environment.

 Health and Drugs

  • Physical vitality: Vivekananda emphasized strength—“You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the Bhagavad Gita.” He believed a healthy body is the foundation of a strong mind.

  • Drug menace: Today, many youths fall prey to substance abuse. Vivekananda’s call for discipline and self-control reminds us that true freedom lies in mastery over desires, not in slavery to addictions.

  • Preventive care: Balanced diet, yoga, and meditation—rooted in Indian tradition—are practical tools to fight stress and maintain holistic health.

Career and Life Skills

  • Purpose-driven career: Vivekananda urged youth to dedicate their talents to nation-building. Careers should not only be about wealth but also about service and innovation.

  • Life skills: Communication, resilience, and problem-solving are essential today. Vivekananda’s stress on self-confidence and fearlessness equips youth to face competitive challenges.

  • Skill development: His vision resonates with NEP 2020, encouraging practical skills alongside academics.

 Spirituality and Ethics

  • Inner awakening: Vivekananda taught that spirituality is not escapism but empowerment. Meditation and self-reflection help youth find clarity amidst chaos.

  • Sanatan Dharma: Eternal values like truth, compassion, and respect for elders are timeless anchors. They protect youth from moral confusion in a rapidly changing world.

  • Cultural pride: By embracing India’s rich traditions—festivals, literature, and arts—youth can balance modernity with rootedness.

Environmental Responsibility

  • Harmony with nature: Vivekananda saw divinity in all beings. Protecting rivers, forests, and animals is not just ecological duty but spiritual practice.

  • Youth action: From tree plantation drives to sustainable living, young Indians can lead the fight against climate change.

  • Ethical consumption: Sanatan ethics teach moderation—avoiding waste and respecting resources.

Conclusion

Swami Vivekananda’s vision is more relevant today than ever. He inspires youth to be strong in body, fearless in mind, compassionate in heart, and responsible in action. By integrating health, career, spirituality, life skills, cultural values, Sanatan ethics, and environmental care, the youth of India can truly embody his dream: “They alone live who live for others.”

The Power Of Youth And Vivekananda


The youth of India have great creative energy with the positive potential to take them to spiritual heights. If human creativity is a special quality, then the “Never say die!” spirit is its apex. Demographically, today’s India is at its youngest best and has the power to meet any challenge with the collective consciousness and effort of all people, especially young people.   

This is the perfect time when youth is alert and aware and provoked by the environment and lack of values. India is a nation facing incredible challenges. This is evident from the utter lack of safety and security for the girl child and women anywhere in the country and the impunity with which monstrous elements like rapists heap violence on girl children and women.

On the one hand, people can see such huge wealth and on the other, more than one-third of the people go without a second meal every day. We have examples of the very affluent as well as the extremely poor. And millions of our children have no access to education, even at the primary level. And we are still grappling with the issue of child labour.


“Knowledge and are not restricted to books. The purpose of education is to enable balanced growth of every dimension of a human being, which is not possible without innovation,” Modi said. “Ambedkar, Deen Dayal Upadhya and Ram Manohar Lohiya always emphasised on character-building over  Swami Vivekananda stressed on wholesome education that makes us a human,” he added.
The prime minister asserted that without innovation life would become a burden.
“Innovation is very important because, without it, life seems like a burden. In our ancient universities like Takshshila, Nalanda and Vikramashila, innovation was given emphasis along with knowledge.
“I insist that students should give knowledge in classrooms of college, university but they also add them to the aspirations of the country,” he said. Stressing upon the need for “interlinking” the institutions, Modi said no country or person can live in isolation.
“Our universities and colleges should be leveraged to find solutions to the challenges facing us. We should interlink institutions to innovate and incubate. The students should link their classroom learnings to the aspirations of the country,” he said. The prime minister emphasised the importance of preparing good teachers for society.
“Scholars and students can take responsibility for spreading digital and generating greater awareness of government programmes that can improve ease of living. Youth has given ‘Brand India’ a global identity,” he said.
The conference is being attended by vice-chancellors and directors of over 350 higher education institutions.
It is being organised jointly by University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education, Indian Council of Social Science Research, Indira Gandhi Centre for the Arts, Indira Gandhi Open University, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University.
The theme of the conference is to deliberate on the challenges facing the Indian education system and to work out a plan for a paradigm shift both in terms of achieving academic outcomes and also in the regulation of education.
Some of the topics that will be covered during the conference include improving pedagogy for learner-centric education, use of artificial intelligence for customised learning, improving quality of research, bringing synergy among educational institutions, participatory governance models and promoting value education by building in universal values and life skills into education.

NCC DAY -November 23rd

NCC Day, or National Cadet Corps Day, is celebrated annually in India to honor the spirit of patriotism, discipline, and service among youth. 

In 2025, the 77th NCC Day will be observed on November 23rd. 

This day marks the establishment of the NCC in 1948, which aims to develop leadership, discipline, and patriotism among young people. 

The day is dedicated to appreciating the selfless service and leadership qualities instilled in the youth of India.



National Cadet Corps is a Tri-Services Organisation comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the youth – 'The Leaders of Tomorrow' – into disciplined and patriotic citizens. 

The genesis of the NCC can be traced back to the First World War, when the British created the University Corps as the second line of defense and to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces. 

After independence, the present-day NCC under the Ministry of Defence came into existence on 16 Apr 1948 through NCC Act XXXI, 1948. 

NCC was formally inaugurated on 15 Jul 1948 as soon as the schools and colleges reopened after summer vacation. 

The Girls Division of the NCC was started in Jul 1949. In 1950, Air Wing was added on 01 Apr with one Air squadron each at Bombay and Kolkata. 

The Naval Wing of the NCC was raised in Jul 1952, thus completing the true representation of all services in the Corps. Presently, NCC has approximately 13 Lakhs Cadets under its fold.







Today, it carries the imprint of his indomitable spirit. 
This unforgettable moment of Wg Cdr Namansh Syal, 
captured during his Tejas sortie in Guwahati, 
will forever remind the nation of a hero whose duty knew no bounds.

BOOK REVIEW

Name of the book: - Ignited Minds 
Author :Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam 
Publisher of the book:-Penguin Books India Pvt. Ltd.Gurgaon,Haryana. 


This book is written by Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and dedicated this book to a student of class 12 Master Snehal Thakur. On April 2002 when he reached Anand under curfew.While talking to the student one question came that Who is our enemy? And correct answer was our enemy is Poverty. In this book there are 9 very interesting, knowledgeable and useful lessons.

One of them is Dream and the message.In this lesson he express how he was impressed by five men Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Emperror Ashoka, Abraham Lincon and Caliph Omar. He also quotes and gives the example of works of eminent persons like Thirukkural, Rabindranath Tagore, Abraham Lincoln, J. R. D. Tata, Vikram Sarabhai, Satish Dhawan and Dr. Verghese Kurien.

 'Ignited Minds - Unleashing the Power Within India' is a manifesto for the youth of a new India, an India which rises to its potential harnessing all its resources in an optimal way and becomes a world leader. And how would we do that? The answer is by using the power of young minds. Before we can do that, we have to awaken the young minds, 'ignite' them and let them set aside the inertia that has crept in. Throughout the book, Dr. Kalam talks about his vision to make India a developed nation by 2020.

He narrates the fruitful messages he got after talking to influential industrialists, political leaders, scientists, and seers . We can find the great pride that he takes in India and its rich cultural heritage and uses them to evoke national pride and to exhort the citizens of the country to work towards a common national goal. Dr. Kalam sets down the future of India on the young generation. The book is all about liberating our qualities. He explains how important it is for a child to have a role model and how they must have a dream. It is through dreams that actions happen.

The main focus of the book is his interaction with children of our nation. He states that the young children are the first scientists. Science exists from questions. Children ask inquisitive

Dr. Kalam has written this book with the solitary intention of motivating the minds of the young generation of India so that we can work together to take our country to greater and unimagined heights. At the heart of this book is the belief that the people of this nation have the power, by means of sheer hard work, to realize their dream of a truly good life. He has specifically chosen to address the youth because in his distinguished career as a space and defence scientist he relied on the power and potential of the youth.

He chose the youth and in doing so, he groomed the next generation of scientist who would take the mantle of being a space scientist from him and people of his generation. In the course of the nine chapters of this book, we can find many thought-provoking incidents and instances where Dr. Kalam was left in awe of the untapped talent and resources of the country.

He finds a unique mix of belief and knowledge that sets us apart from the other nations of the world. This book is written for the common man. It is a reminder to all of us that a simple man from Rameshwaram made it to the Rashtrapati Bhavan of New Delhi with his hard work and dedication.

YOUTH DAY- 12 JAN 2022

 Swami Vivekananda (/ˈswɑːmi ˌvɪvˈkɑːnəndə/Bengali: [ʃami bibekanɔndo] (About this soundlisten); 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born Narendranath Datta (Bengali: [nɔrendronatʰ dɔto]), was an Indian Hindu monk and philosopher. He was a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. Influenced by Western esotericism, he was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian darsanas (teachings, practices) of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world,[and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. 


He was a major force in the contemporary Hindu reform movements in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.[10] He is perhaps best known for his speech which began with the words "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.




Born into an aristocratic Bengali Kayastha family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to humankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India


He later travelled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint, and his birthday is celebrated as National Youth Day.

स्वामी विवेकानंद 11 सितंबर 1893 को शिकागो भाषण

अमेरिका के बहनो और भाइयो,


आपके इस स्नेहपूर्ण और जोरदार स्वागत से मेरा हृदय अपार हर्ष से भर गया है। आपको दुनिया की सबसे प्राचीन संत परंपरा की तरफ से धन्यवाद देता हूं। आपको सभी धर्मों की जननी की तरफ से धन्यवाद देता हूं और सभी जाति-संप्रदाय के लाखों-करोड़ों हिंदुओं की तरफ से आपका आभार व्यक्त करता हूं।


मेरा धन्यवाद कुछ उन वक्ताओं को भी जिन्होंने इस मंच से यह कहा कि दुनिया में सहनशीलता का विचार सुदूर पूरब के देशों से निकला है। मुझे गर्व है कि मैं एक ऐसे धर्म से हूं जिसने दुनिया को सहनशीलता और सभी को स्वीकारने का पाठ पढ़ाया है।

हम सिर्फ सार्वभौमिक सहनशीलता में ही विश्वास नहीं रखते बल्कि हम विश्व के सभी धर्मों को सत्य के रूप में स्वीकार करते हैं। मुझे गर्व है कि मैं एक ऐसे देश से हूं, जिसने इस धरती के सभी देशों और धर्मों के परेशान और सताए गए लोगों को शरण दी है। 


मुझे यह बताते हुए गर्व हो रहा है कि हमने अपने हृदय में उन इस्राइलियों की पवित्र स्मृतियां संजोकर रखी हैं, जिनके पवित्र धार्मिक स्थल को रोमन हमलावरों ने तोड़कर खंडहर बना दिया था और तब उन्होंने दक्षिण भारत में शरण ली थी।

मुझे इस बात का गर्व है कि मैं एक ऐसे धर्म से हूं जिसने महान पारसी धर्म के लोगों को शरण दी और अब भी उन्हें पाल-पोस रहा है।भाइयो, मैं आपको वैदिक मंत्रों की कुछ पंक्तियां सुनाना चाहूंगा जिसे मैंने बचपन से याद किया और दोहराया है और जो करोड़ों लोगों द्वारा हर दिन दोहराया जाता है: जिस तरह अलग-अलग स्रोतों से निकली विभिन्न नदियां अंत में समुद्र में जाकर मिलती हैं, उसी तरह मनुष्य अपनी प्रवृत्ति के अनुरूप अलग-अलग रास्ता चुनता है। वे देखने में भले ही सीधे या टेढ़े-मेढ़े लगें, पर सभी रास्ते भगवान तक ही जाते हैं।

वर्तमान सम्मेलन जो कि आज तक की सबसे पवित्र सभाओं में से है, गीता में बताए गए इस सिद्धांत का प्रमाण है: जो भी मुझ तक आता है, चाहे वह कैसा भी हो, मैं उस तक पहुंचता हूं। लोग चाहे कोई भी रास्ता चुनें, आखिर में मुझ तक ही पहुंचते हैं।


 सांप्रदायिकता, कट्टरता और हठधर्मिता लंबे समय से इस सुंदर धरती को अपने शिकंजों में जकड़े हुए हैं। इन्होंने धरती को हिंसा से भर दिया है। कितनी बार ही यह धरती खून से लाल हुई है। कितनी ही सभ्यताओं का विनाश हुआ है और न जाने कितने देश नष्ट हुए हैं।

 अगर ये भयानक राक्षस नहीं होते तो आज मानव समाज कहीं ज्यादा उन्नत होता, लेकिन अब उनका समय पूरा हो चुका है। मुझे पूरी उम्मीद है कि आज इस सम्मेलन का शंखनाद सभी हठधर्मिताओं, हर तरह के दुखों और सभी मनुष्यों के बीच की दुर्भावनाओं का विनाश करेगा।......SOURCE
