150th Birth Anniversary Celebrations of Swami Vivekanand

Ex-President Abdul Kalam at Gujarat Youth Conference to mark Vivekanand birth anniversary

“I can do it, we can do it and India can do it. I can win, we can win and India can win”: APJ Abdul Kalam’s mantra to youth

“Skill-Will-Win’ to realize Vivekanand’s dream of making India the global guru through its skills and will power”: Narendra Modi

Ahmedabad, Thursday: Former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam today exhorted the youth of India to have firm faith in the self and then resolve to utilize the same faith in the service of the nation through sheer hard work. He gave the mantra: “I can do it, we can do it and India can do it”. If the will is there, he said, “I can win, we can win and India can win.”

He was speaking at the Swami Vivekanand Youth Conference held at Mahatma Gandhi in Gandhinagar to mark the beginning of the Swami Vivekanand’s 150th birth anniversary yearlong celebration.

He cited the examples of Thomas Alva Edison, Wright Brothers, Graham Bell, Madame Curie, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dr C.V. Raman, Mother Teresa and J.R.D. Tata, who by their dint of hard work overcame odds. Each youth of India is capable of becoming such ‘unique people’ and ‘personality’.

Dr Abdul Kamal recalled an event that took place in Ahmedabad in 1998 when a girl complained to him that she wanted to sing songs in praise of India but her family members sang in praise of America as a beautiful country with beautiful roads. Dr Abdul Kalam asked the girl to wait till his ‘Vision-2020’ is released.

Inaugurating the conference, Gujarat Chief Minister called upon the youth to adopt the mantra of ‘Skill-Will-Win’ as the best possible tribute to Vivekanand to realize his dream of making India the global guru through its skills and will power. He said Vivekanand Skill Development Centres would be set up in each district in pursuit of the mantra of ‘Skill-Will-Win’. He said that lakhs of youth would show their skills in various fields

Mr. Modi said that Vivekanand had been a source of inspiration to the youth in the past having woken them up from slumber and drudgery of slavery to fierce patriotism as well as the modern youth pride of their culture and heritage. He interpreted the Vedas to explain highest forms of spiritualism in a simple language to rake up inner strength in nation building. India’s spiritualism has such strength that it alone could eradicate social evils like untouchability and superstition.

The Chief Minister recalled that although Vivekanand lived for hardly 40 years he spent his entire life as an eternal wandered and social reformer. It was in the soil of Gujarat that he attained enlightenment near the Somnath temple seacoast. He also had detailed discussions with contemporary revolutionaries like Shyamji Krishna Verma and Nana Saheb Peshwa as to how to free Bharat Mata from the shackles of slavery.

Mr. Modi said that while Vivekanand was in search of God, his guru Ramakrishna Paramahansa showed him the great form of Goddess Mahakali to tell the young mind that god lived in each individual. It brought about a change in his mission in life, to serve the mankind and the motherland. It was again Vivekanand who had advocated women’s empowerment and introduce the conceptdaridra narayanto treat the poor as gods.

Ironically, Mr. Modi said, Swami Vivekanand’s famous speech at the World Conference on Religion in Chicago and the terrorist attack at World Trade Centre took place on 9/11. It sends a strong message for the world to embrace his teachings to come out of global tragedies of the type.

Mr. Modi said that only if 100-crore Indians today take a cue from Swami Vivekanand’s teachings and message and pledge to serve the society, India is sure to become a world leader.

Sadbhavna Mission in Surat

Sadbhavna Mission


13000 people fast with CM under Sadbhavna Mission in Surat

CM announces development projects worth Rs.2100 crore for Suarat

“I don’t waste time behind those who are inclined to see Gujarat with negative mentality”

“People of Gujarat will answer the anti-Gujarat elements in a democratic way” ~ Shri Narendra Modi

***********

Concluding his daylong fast at Surat today as a part of Sadbhavna Mission Chief Minister Narendra Modi said that people of Gujarat has a power to answer the anti-Gujarat elements in a democratic way. Their answer is manifested through their support to the Sadbhavna Mission.

Citizens of Surat including the women, youths, society leaders, industrialists, saints, social workers and office bearers of various organizations thronged the venue conveying their support and well wishes to the Chief Minister and his mission.

Welcoming the large turnout Chief Minister announced development projects worth Rs.2100 crore for Suarat including the projects for BRTS and the construction of new bridges. The people and different organizations of Surat gave an amount of Rs.30 lakh as a donation to the Chief Minister’s Kanya Kelavani Nidhi.

Speaking on the occasion Chief Minister said that people of Gujarat will not tolerate the defamation drive that has been launched by the anti-Gujarat elements. These elements have gone a long way and are even misusing constitutional organizations to defame Gujarat. Gujarat never troubles anybody but it also knows how to give a tough answer when it is being troubled by somebody.

The huge support of the people to the Sadbhavana mission is an answer to those who device plots to tarnish the image of Gujarat. Gujarat has left behind the venoms of communalism and casteism and has adhered to the values of peace, unity and harmony. Political pandits should analyze why people are voluntarily supporting the Sadbhavna fast and the growth polity of Gujarat, he said.

Mr. Modi said that people have not seen the instances of riots and curfews during the last decade. The reason behind this is the atmosphere of peace, unity and harmony that is prevailing in the state.

“People who play vote-bank politics can not realize the power of Sadbhavna Mission, because they don’t want real development. I don’t waste time behind those who are inclined to see Gujarat with negative mentality. I want to put India on the track of Sadbhavna”, he said.

Tribal development Minister Mangubhai Patel, Panchayat Minister Narottam Patel, Minister of State for Cottage industries Ranjit Gilitwala, Minister of State for Home Praful Patel, Mayor Rajubhai Desai, MP C R Patil, Darshnaben Jardosh, MLAs Kishorbhai Vankavala, Nanubhai Vanani, Kiritbhai Patel, Bhartiben Rathod, Municipal Commissioner M K Das, government officials and people in large number were present on the occasion.
