Vivekananda Cultural Centre, an unit under Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, buzzed with youthful energy on National Youth Day as over 200 students and teachers from various schools and colleges across the city converged to celebrate Swamiji’s vision.
The celebrations commenced with a warm welcome by Swami Raghunayakananda, who illuminated the significance of January 12th as National Youth Day and its connection to Swamiji’s inspiring message for the young.

To nurture the seeds of Swamiji’s wisdom in the hearts of these young learners, a small, inspiring booklet titled “Thoughts of Power” was distributed to everyone. The day concluded with a nourishing lunch prasad, bringing a sweet end to the joyous celebrations.
