Swami Vivekananda introduced India'seternal culture on global stage: Yogi
Lucknow, Jan. 13 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said Swami Vivekananda played a major role in introducing India's eternal culture and spiritual consciousness on the global stage and gave the nation and Indianness a new identity.
Addressing a gathering at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow on the occasion of National Youth Day, he hailed Swami Vivekanand on his birth anniversary, saying he awakened India's self-awareness, which had then been dormant. Yogi described his journey from Narendra to Swami Vivekananda as a journey from a seeker to a path breaker.
"His message was: focus on the goal, steadfastness in resolve, and continuity in action. Until these are achieved, success cannot be achieved," the chief minister said.
"Swami Vivekananda had firm faith that India would establish itself as the 'vishwa guru' on the strength of youth power and spiritual consciousness. Today, we are seeing it taking a concrete shape," he said
The chief minister viewed an exhibition and short film on the occasion.
He also paid homage to Mata Sahiba Jijabai, who shaped the life of her son Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, on her birth anniversary.
He appealed to the youth to stay away from drugs. "We will run a campaign against drugs, you provide confidential information, the government will confiscate the property of drug traffickers," he said.
The chief minister added that under Mission Rozgar, government jobs have been provided to nine lakh youths of the state.
Setting the target of 35 crore tree plantations in the first week of July, he told the youth that everything is possible with effort.
CM said that youth should learn about AI, machine learning, robotics, drone technology and use them more and more to create employment. For this, centres have been developed in UP in partnership with Tata Technology, Samsung, he said.
"Today, UP has the lowest unemployment rate. Youth have been given work and made capable in technology. There are infinite possibilities within UP.
Along with investment, tourism is also becoming a major medium of employment. Now, there are no curfew, riots in UP, everything is fine here," he said....
