National Youth Day 2022

National Youth Day is celebrated in India every year on the birthday of the Swami Vivekanand. It is celebrated every year on the 12th of January. In 1984, it was declared by the Government of India that 12th January will be observed as National Youth Dayand since 1985, India celebrates the day.

The intention behind the government's move to celebrate this day was to imbibe the students and youth with the philosophy and ideals of the Swami Vivekananda, who brought a change in the thought process of the youth.

Swami Vivekananda ji’s original name was Narendranath. He was born on 12th January, 1863 at Kolkata (Swamiji’s Jayanti i.e. birth anniversary is celebrated as the ‘National Youth Day’). Right from childhood, two aspects of his behavior could clearly be noticed. One was his sincere and compassionate nature and the other was his readiness to perform any act of courage. Since his whole family was spiritually inclined, he received an appropriate religious upbringing.

He also published a number of books from 1887 until his death on July 4th, 1902. These books include Sangeet Kalpataru, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga, Vedanta Philosophy: An Address before the Graduate Philosophical Society, Bartaman Bharat, My Master, and Vedânta philosophy: Lectures On  Jnana Yoga. Books that were published posthumously include Inspired Talks, Para Bhakti or Supreme Devotion and Speeches and Writings of Swami Vivekananda.
