Phandebaaz (1978)Happy National Youth Day-12 January
- 13 years ago
National Youth Day is celebrated in India on 12 January on the birthday of Swami Vivekananda. In 1984, the Government of India declared and decided to observe the birthday of Swami Vivekananda (12 January, according to the English calendar) as a National Youth Day every year from 1985 onwards. To quote from the Government of India's communication, 'it was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth.'
Swami Vivekananda (January 12, 1863–July 4, 1902), was chief disciple of the 19th century mystic Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and the founder of Ramakrishna Mission. He is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to status of a world religion during the end of the 19th century. He is perhaps best known for his inspiring speech beginning with "Sisters and Brothers of America", through which he introduced Hinduism at Parliament of World's Religions at Chicago in 1893.
