One of the most influential person of modern India, Swami Vivekananda was instrumental in introducing the Indian philosophy of Vedanta to the western world. The monk, who helped Hinduism in gaining the global status in the 19th century, remains the ideal role model and an inspiration to millions of youth, who follow him. Swami Vivekananda always believed that “They alone live, who live for others.”

Since 1985, India annually observes the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda

(January 12) as 'National Youth Day'. The objective behind this celebration is to imbibe in students and youth the philosophy and ideals of Swamiji.
