The 154th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda(Jan 12,1863 - July 04,1902), one of India's most revered spiritual leaders, is being celebrated Thursday Jan 12,2017 as National Youth Day.
Born Narendra Nath Datta in an affluent family and raised in Kolkata, Swami Vivekananda died at the age of 39.
He was always intrigued by spirituality and philosophy and, in his short life, managed to inspire millions.
Swami Vivekananda's speech at the first Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago is considered among his most significant contributions to the world.
The opening lines of his speech - "Sisters and brothers of America" - earned him a two-minute standing ovation from the audience.
We offer salutations to the great Swami Vivekananda & remember his powerful thoughts & ideals that continue shaping the minds of generations
