I used to have a huge photograph of Swami Vivekanand in my home. When I was young, I used to look at it and wonder why he was dressed in orange attire with a book in his hand. I remember how, in the photograph, he stood tall, brimming with conviction, pride, and purpose. Now that I know who he is and his revered legacy, which has laid the groundwork for developing leadership and character attributes, it's evident that Swami Vivekanand, through his unfailing source of wisdom, has always fostered a deep susceptibility to the evils prevalent in the socio-economic and moral structure of the society. Also regarded as the youth icon of this country, Swami Ji has personified the eternal energy of youth and their restless quest for truth. His quote, “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached,” is partially taken from the Sanskrit verse of Katha Upanishad, which was one of his favorite Upanishads. Through this, he aimed to motivate the country's youth to serve the poor and live for the nation and the welfare of fellow men and women. He strived to let the youth know the value of life and find their purpose. Throughout his life, he has enlightened the youth about the power of subconscious and self; how the entire power of the universe is within us; that courage is correlated with fear, both existing within us, and we must reflect upon our fears and bring them forward, as when we do that, we seek what's inside. When that happens, we proceed towards self-knowledge, helping us grow spiritually and achieve our goals.
