Tribute To Born Leader Shri Swami Vivekanada : 153 rd Birth Anniversary

Dear SA'ians,

Swami Vivekananda has inspired many generations not only in India but in the world as well. He always believed extreme value of youth period is immense and sublime. To become an ideal student there are certain qualities that swami Vivekananda mentioned in his lessons, which are mention below-

My Faith is in the Younger Generation, the Modern Generation, out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem, like Lions.” Swami Vivekananda expressed this confidence in the youth of this country exactly 53 years before the end of Colonial Rule while speaking to a mammoth gathering of youngsters in Madras. Swami ji himself was the embodiment of youth, dynamism and vibrancy. The life and ideals of Swami ji are the greatest inspiration for the youth of our nation. In a short life of 39 years, 5 months and 22 days, this great man conquered the entire world with his message. Many great personalities both in India and across the world became deeply inspired by Swami ji.

Anybody who has come into either direct or indirect contact has witnessed an ocean of change in his or her life. Today, the youth of this country faces various challenges and I am certain that the lessons of Swami Vivekananda has the power to wonderfully guide them into the future.

PURPOSE OF LIFE 

Swami ji always held that the real birth of the individual takes place when the purpose of his life germinates. He believed that he who does not have a purpose is nothing but a walking-talking corpse. Till the purpose is not recognized, life is absolutely useless. It is extremely important not to decide the purpose of life with the narrow objective to be something or the other. Think of doing not becoming and in this process you will certainly become something. Once the purpose of life is clear, all actions of life become driven by that purpose.

SELF-CONFIDENCE 

A precursor to do anything in life is to have confidence in the self. Swami Vivekananda attached more importance to self-confidence than even faith in God! 

“He is an atheist who does not believe in himself. The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself,” he famously stated. Swami ji always believed that everything that is happening around us be it small, big, positive or negative gives us the opportunity to manifest the potential within.

DEDICATION 

For any endeavor to attain the pinnacle of success, dedication to the cause is absolutely essential. Swami Vivekananda once said, 

“To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. ‘I will drink the ocean’, says the persevering soul; ‘at my will mountains will crumble up’. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal.” Another quality that Swami Vivekananda spoke of was patience. Very often, it so happens that we take on a task with immense enthusiasm but as time passes by, the same enthusiasm fizzles out. Pursuing a challenge with utmost dedication is indeed a road to success for our youth

TEAMWORK 

This era belongs to organization and teamwork. Be it any sector from science, technology to business, teamwork constitutes a major cornerstone to attaining the desired results.Leading by example, he founded the Ramakrishna Mission and organized Sanyasis to work towards nation building. It is necessary to arm our youth with the relevant knowledge and skill that will convert this potential to desired results.
India is celebrating Swami Vivekananda’s 153rd Birth Anniversary. It is indeed high time that we resolve to follow these ideals of Swami Vivekananda and take this youthful nation to greater heights as the leader of the world.
Readers,  we hope that if these 4 lessons, you people properly implement in your life then success will definitely knock at your door

 Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached..!!!

Here are 5 of Swami Vivekananda's most inspiring quotes, that stand true even today.

"Who is helping you, don't forget them. Who is loving you, don't hate them. Who is believing you, don't cheat them."

"Anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject as poison."

"Relationships are more important than life, but it is important for those relationships to have life in them."

"Like me or hate me, both are in my favor. If you like me I am in your heart, if you hate me I am in your mind."

"Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work."
