Indian government declared January 12 as the Nation Youth Day in 1984. As this day marks the birthday of great Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda whose teachings are the biggest philosophical asset of the country. The motto of declaring youth day on the birthday of the philosophical guru was motivating and inculcating these pious ideals to the coming generation.
Swami Vivekananda’s ideas have had a great influence on Indian youth for generations. This message to the youth is still a invigorating as it was a century ago. In his words, depression, weakness, fear and jealousy are the greatest enemies of young people. “The greatest sin is to think yourself weak. The remedy of weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength” he said.
To commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda Kerala Brahmana Sabha Yuvajana Vibhagam – South Zone is going to celebrate the Vivekananda Jayanthi with various activities on 26th January 2012 at Quilon Brahmana Samajam Hall, Kollam.
