National Youth Day 2023: “Man is born to conquer nature and not to follow it” - this quote by philosopher Swami Vivekananda still reverberates in the ears of every individual who wishes to overcome any difficulty with their fearless attitude. Swami Vivekananda’s life and teachings have encouraged millions across the world.
In 1985, the Government of India declared Swami Vivekananda’s birthday – January 12 - as National Youth Day in honour of the great philosopher and monk. Since 1985, this day is celebrated as National Youth Day all over India.
As we observe National Youth day on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary today, let’s remember him and his teachings that changed our lives for good:
Swami Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta on January 12, 1863, in Kolkata, West Bengal. He was always inclined towards spirituality. He practised meditation from a very early age and also joined the Brahmo Samaj movement for a certain period. One of the greatest patriots, he was also credited for introducing Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the western world.
