The Preachings of Swami Vivekananda and its Impact on the Youth of Contemporary Time
Keywords:
Distinction, Impact, YouthAbstract
In the last century, India has produced many saints, but very few like Swami Vivekananda, not merely a saint of India, but a saint of the whole world. Swami Vivekananda’s inspiring message is applicable to all the people of the world without any distinction of caste, color, creed, country, gender, and age. More than what he said, he had a tremendous impact on everyone, especially on Youth who came in touch with him. What makes Vivekananda’s call to the youth so compelling, is his infinite trust and reverence that the future of the world depends on the youth. So, he released his message and trust especially to youth. He wanted the youth of India to be strong and not to remain weak. This paper aims at the same values and morals or one may say ethics that Vivekananda used to follow in his life and wanted to be followed by the youth of the time. The paper also aims at the different aspects and incidents including the quotations said by Vivekananda to the youth. This attempt would add hopefully a little contribution to state a thorough guidance to the youth of the time.
