When Swami Vivekananda was born, India was under the shackles of the British Raj. We couldn’t do much inspite of our knowledge, strength and rich cultural inheritance. There was a fear lurking in the minds of everyone. Swamiji gave a clarion call.
“Be not afraid of anything, You will do marvellous work. “
“The moment you fear, you are nobody. It is the fear that is the greatest of all superstitions.“
“It is the fear that is the cause of our woes, And it is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment.“
Therefore, “Arise, Awake, Stop not till the goal is reached.”
Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi gave a new dimension to the Indian Freedom Movement. Though he was hounded by the British, he successfully evaded the arrest on number of occasions only to create awareness among the Indian brethren on the need to fight against the British through his writings in Swadesa Mitran, India, Vijaya, BalaBharatham and Suryodhayam. Thus he kept the spirit of freedom alive.
Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose, the warrior Patriot thought that India will get freedom through an armed struggle.
Mahatma Gandhi believed in Civil disobedience movement (Satya Graha), Ahimsa & Non-violence. Next time they all believed in creating a strong India. That is why Former People’s President Shri A.P.J Abdul Kalam who made the India vision 2020 document to see India a developed and empowered country, believes in exploding atomic devices to see India a strong country as strength respects strength, true to the spirit of Swami Vivekananda, Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi, Warrior patriot Nethaji and Father of our Nation Mahatma Gandhi.
The next decade is going to witness a vast reservoir of human resources in India, as nearly two-third of our population will be in the age group of 20-35 years. Young men and women..
“ Be aware of your strength and believe that you can and you should make modern India strong and empowered. “
Great Buddha said, “Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. “
Now let us recall what Swami Vivekananda said, What India is a new electric fire.
To stir up a fresh vigour in the national veins.
Let us all work hard
There is no time to sleep
On our work depends the coming of the India of the future.
Jai Hind!
