Never say ‘No’, never say ‘I cannot’, for you are the infinite! All the power is within you. You can do anything. – Swami Vivekananda
National Youth Day is celebrated on January 12 every year since 1985 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, and has played a major role in reviving India’s image as a land of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda's weapons of winning the world were education and peace. He always portrayed himself as a 'Nationalist Saint' who wanted the youth to get out of their comfort zones and achieve absolutely anything they desire.
He was known for his prodigious memory and the ability at speed reading. Once, he requested some books written by Sir John Lubbock from a library and returned them the very next day claiming that he had read them. The librarian refused to believe him until cross examination about the contents convinced him that Vivekananda was being truthful.
