National Youth Day celebrated in Mysuru

Senior judge and member secretary of District Legal Services Authority B.G. Dinesh, said here on Sunday that Swami Vivekananda was an inspiration to the youth of the country and it was imperative to imbibe his values.

He was speaking after inaugurating the National Youth Day programme held to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, organised by the district administration, Mysuru Zilla Panchayat, Department of Youth Services and Sports in association with many yoga organisations in the city.

Mr. Dinesh said Swami Vivekananda was not only a philosopher well-versed in theology but also a patriot who instilled pride for India when traveling abroad. Mr. Dinesh urged the youngsters to remember Swami Vivekananda’s inspiring call of ’Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached’ and said that it was a sure prescription for success.
