Vivekananda Youth Convention at Warangal

Youth life is the most precious part of the life. It's the best time one passes through. The way in which we utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of us. Our happiness, our success, our achievements, our name and fame all depend upon the way in which we live in this youth period. Not just our indivisual happiness or success, but even the country's success in the future will depend upon how we conduct ourselves during this age.

The most special feature of this age is that we can mould ourselves physically, mentally and spirituality in the way we want. We possess all the required energy and enthusiasm required for that. This is best articulated by none other than our youth Icon and the greatest patriot of this country Swami Vivekananda.

The teachings of Swamiji are most relevant for the youth specially in this current scenario when the youth is in a dilemma not understanding how to channelise their energy in a right purpose, how to keep themselves away from several distractions brought by westernization and globalisation. Keeping this in mind, a number of organizations including the Government of India and Rama Krishna Math are organising several youth conventions across the country on the eve of 150th birthday of Swami Vivekananda to take his message to the youth.

The youth convention with around 10,000 students organised by Rama Krishna Seva Samithi at Arts College grounds at Warangal is one such program in the recent past. Swamijis from Rama Krishna missions from across the country travelled to Warangal to pass on Vivekananda's message to the youth and humanity. Gujjula Narsaiah, renowned educationist and my mentor has chaired the program while Prabhuji, the coordinator of Rama Krishna Seva Samithi has been the organising secretary of the program. It is one of the biggest mass programs that I have ever been part of. India needs more and more such programs in every nook and corner for it to come closer to becoming a truly global leader.
