A multi faceted personality, largely known as sanyasi had a dream of Indian regarding the young society. Amidst the decline of the younger generation's ideas and values, Narendraji emerged and provided guidance on how to curb this ongoing degeneration. He was a sannyasi who possessed intelligence, fearlessness, and valour. An ascetic was born on 12 January 1863 into the Datta family in Calcutta (Simla) and graced this world with their presence. The individual in question was named Narendranath Dutt. His father, Vishwanath Dutt, was a renowned lawyer, while his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was deeply devoted to God. Vivekananda aspired to construct a novel India, placing utmost confidence in the potential of the younger generation. His objective was to arouse the everlasting potential residing within the young individual. Currently, the young society of contemporary India is experiencing disillusionment and a lack of purpose; the youth are without direction and hope, and are uninformed of their own means of protection. These wayward young individuals can only be revived when they establish a connection with Swamiji whose ideology, philosophy and doctrines have immense potential to navigate these youth to a bright future. Swamiji's inspiring and idealistic speech encompasses spiritual consciousness, social consciousness, economic consciousness, science consciousness, as well as the narrative of India's past and future, and the story of Indian culture. Swamiji frequently reiterated. In order to transform the aimless youth society into a prosperous and harmonious society, it is imperative that a multitude of individuals first cultiv000ate qualities such as wisdom, compassion, patriotism, holiness, and reverence. The day when such individuals awaken, India will truly become magnificent and significant. This awakening will occur when numerous men and women selflessly sacrifice their personal desires for pleasure and wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to the welfare of the millions of people trapped in the cycle of poverty and illiteracy.
