January 12 marks the 155th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, who was one of India’s most revered spiritual leaders. He is known to be a prolific thinker, a great orator and a passionate patriot.
Born in 1863, his teachings inspired a lot of young Indians and brought a spiritual awakening in the 19th century. Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary is also celebrated as National Youth Day.* The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
