Swami Vivekananda Jayanti is celebrates the birthday of Swami Vivekananda. He was a man of principles and values, who struggled his whole life in the search of truth and righteousness. Swami Vivekananda is the real motivation for the youth. He enlightened the spark of power in everyone's heart. A spiritual genius born in a small Datta family of Kolkata achieved name and fame in the field of everything he wanted to without a shear need of selfish requirement. Swami Vivekananda lived for very short span of life from 1863-1902. He was not only the motivation for youth but also vehement about existence of God and his power. In the search of his inquisitiveness he went far off to know the God.

He found a master named Shri Ramakrishna who answered his queries and gave him God vision to attain the sage place in the world. After his master's death he became the renowned and wandering monk. In the western world he proved his standing by representing The Hinduism at Chicago's Parliament Religions in 1893. His speech at the parliament made a revolution in the world as well as in India. Some of his famous quotes are "All the truth is eternal. Truth is nobody's property; no race, no individual can lay any exclusive claim on it. Truth is the nature of all soul." He gave a new meaning to the freedom and life of an individual. After that meeting in Chicago he spent around three years in America and did all possible work to spread spiritual and Vedanta philosophy. After that he returned India and worked towards the freedom movement in India. Here he opened a Ramakrishna Mission in the memory of his master. Swami Vivekananda believed that each individual has power to being a vital change in the world. As he said "Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world".
