Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav participated in a mass Surya Namaskar event in Bhopal to mark Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary and National Youth Day.

"He guided the world towards welfare through his spiritual energy, philosophy, and profound thoughts. - CM Mohan Yadav"

Bhopal, January 12

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday participated in the state-level mass Surya Namaskar program held in Bhopal to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.

CM Yadav performed Suya Namaskar along with the students at Government Subhash Excellence Higher Secondary School in the state capital on the occasion.

"Swami Vivekananda is known across the nation and globe by the name of Eternal Youth. He had hoisted the flag of the culture of Sanatan Dharma at Vishva Dharma Sammelan (World Religion Conference). He also highlighted India's characteristics at the global stage. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary is being celebrated in a different way across the entire country today," the Chief Minister said.

Additionally, CM Yadav emphasised that Vivekananda guided the world towards welfare through his spiritual energy, philosophy, and profound thoughts.

"On the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, a source of inspiration for the youth, I offer my heartfelt tributes and extend my greetings on National Youth Day. He guided the world towards welfare through his spiritual energy, philosophy, and profound thoughts. He inspired the youth to contribute to nation-building by making them aware of their boundless inner strength. I offer tribute at his feet," CM said in a post on X.

The National Youth Day or Rashtriya Yuva Divas is celebrated on January 12 every year in commemoration of the great spiritual leader, philosopher and thinker Swami Vivekananda, whose unwavering belief in the potential of youth continues to resonate deeply with young citizens of the country, as per the release from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.

Vivekananda, born Narendranath Datta, was a key figure in the renaissance of Hinduism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His fiery eloquence, profound understanding of Eastern and Western philosophies, and unwavering belief in the potential of youth resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. His landmark speech at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago in 1893 is widely considered a turning point in the global perception of Hinduism.

Good to see National Youth Day being marked with action, not just words. Surya Namaskar promotes physical and mental discipline, which Vivekananda ji always emphasized. However, I hope such events lead to concrete policies for youth employment and skill development too.

While I respect Swami Vivekananda immensely, these events often feel like photo-ops. The real tribute would be improving the education system and creating opportunities so our youth can actually "awaken their inner strength" as he taught. Action over symbolism, please.

As someone living in India for work, I find this beautiful. It's great to see a leader promoting health, culture, and a positive philosophical figure all at once. Vivekananda's universal message of tolerance and self-realization is relevant everywhere.

Jai Hind! Proud of our culture and leaders who remember our greats. Swami Vivekananda put India on the world map with his Chicago speech. Teaching his principles of fearlessness and service to the nation to the next generation is crucial. 🇮🇳

Surya Namaskar is a fantastic yoga sequence for everyone. Combining it with Vivekananda Jayanti is a smart way to promote fitness and Indian philosophy together. Hope they also discussed his views on education and empowering women.
