The prime disciple of 19th century Indian mystic Ramakrishna Paramhansa, he reintroduced the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world.His message of universal brotherhood and self-awakening remains relevant and most practical especially in the current backdrop of widespread political disturbance around the world

10. A Attitude is every thing .
It depends on your attitude

lets you reach success.
11. According to Swami Vivekananda a
nation is built out of men and women,
men and women endowed with a sense
of worth and dignity within themselves.
12. VIVEKANANDA
V stands for Vision- How I want to see myself, have a
vision for one’s country. Focus on what you are doing
at the moment.
Once Swami Vivekananda saw a boy who could not
shoot. He encouraged him to shoot with 12 shells and
said to him that he must shoot with concentration.
In order to have a vision for ourselves one must perform
an action using presence of mind and concentrate
seriously on what one should do.
13. I stands for Industriousness
Industriousness is expressed in how well we
work. Industriousness involves a productive
engagement in our lives. By disciplining
yourself to be industrious you can bring more
value out of your time.
14. V stands for Visualization
Successful people often visualize their dreams
about achieving success.
The power of visualization helps us to create
our dream lives by accomplishing one goal or
task at a time with hyper focus and complete
confidence.
15. E stands for Empowerment through education
Vivekananda believed that education is the manifestation of
perfection inherent in men. He thought it a pity that the
existing system of education did not enable a person to
stand on his own feet, nor did it teach him self-confidence
and self-respect.
Hence , Education is an essential medium of empowering
youth with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence
necessary to fully participate in the development process.
16. K stands for know thyself
Knowing yourself means how you see yourself. It
is all about knowing one’s own strengths and
limitations.
Hence to know thyself is to be yourself. It is
imperative for those who seek wisdom must first
know who they are before obtaining any wisdom
and enlightenment from outside forces.
17. A stands for Awareness
Being aware of your
own capabilities and
limitations allow you
to know what you can
truly enjoy and hope to
get out of life.
Arunima Sinha is the first
amputee to climb the Mt. Everest
even after going through a
tragedy in which she lost one of
her leg while she was thrown out
of a moving train by some
dacoits in 2011 in a bid to resist
them. Her aim was to climb the
highest peak and hoist the Indian
national flag on it.
18. NNation-building
“We Cannot Always Build The Future For Our Youth, But
We Can Build Our Youth For The Future.” – Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Youth is the backbone of our society. It is the
youth who with their combination of passion,
fearlessness, vigour and energy are changing
society for the better. Hence, if we want to make a
bright future for our nation, we first need to
strengthen and empower our youth.
Nation-building involves the use of major
infrastructure development to promote social
harmony and economic growth.
19. A All are God’s creation.
If you are a Hindu be a good Hindu.
If you are a Muslim be a good Muslim.
If you are a Christian be a good Christian.
According to John Richardson there are three
kinds of people those who let it happen, those
who make it happen, and those who wonder
what happened.
20. N stands for no fear
Vivekananda said :
“Stand up and be strong! No fear. No
superstition. Face the truth as it is! If death
comes — that is the worst of our miseries —
let it come! We are determined to die game”.
Always say, "I have no fear." Tell this to
everybody --"Have no fear". Fear is death, fear
is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear
is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and
ideas that are in this world have proceeded
from this evil spirit of fear.
21. D
stands for Discipline, dedication, and dynamism all of these
arise from desire for change. If you cultivate the desire to
become the best you will seek continuous self-improvement.
A good example for this : In people who are thriving in their
career it is their desire to be the best that is what allows them
to tap into an area of genuine interest to them.
Three D’s: Discipline, Dedication, and Dynamism are the
three D’s in Success Programming. These core programming
tools evolve from the conditioning from the last stages of the
success formula. Some people have and discover them from
something else they did; others find them easy and use them to
their advantage, some never observe their value, ignore them
and ultimately fail at what they are trying to achieve. These
tools are extremely potential and developing them will have a
tremendous influence on your success.
22. A
Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is
reached is a sloka derived from Katha
Upanishad made popular by Swami
Vivekananda. It was his message to the
Hindus for the liberation from their
hypnotized state of mind.
23. The only qualification that Swamiji wanted the
youth to acquire was to cultivate and nurture
the ability to ‘feel’.
He offered his powerful ‘mantra’ and desired
to take strong action to go beyond what just
feeling could do so. The most influential P’s
are: Purity, Patience and Perseverance. The
P’s are the great qualities that the modern day
youth should be encouraged to practice.
Apparently, it is their keenness to be part of
positive change that is ultimately going to have
an impact on entire society.
24. Swami Vivekananda felt that working for any social
change needed massive energy and spirit. Therefore,
he requested the youngsters to strengthen both their
mental energies and physical fitness. What
Vivekananda actually awanted from the youth were
‘muscles of iron’ and ‘nerves of steel’.
Today’s youth have to be extremely responsive and
they must be motivated in their pursuit for universal
justice and social benefit. Swami Vivekananda was
not only the medium but he was himself a message
for the youth of India as well.
