Timeless Wisdom of Swami Vivekananda Inspires Global Youth: Durban Visit Marks Birth Anniversary
On the occasion of National Youth Day, which coincides with the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on January 12, Consul General Niteen Subhash Yeola of India in Durban paid a special visit to the Ramakrishna Centre of South Africa in Glen Anil.
The event highlighted the enduring relevance of Swami Vivekananda’s teachings, which continue to motivate young Indians and global youth alike to contribute meaningfully to nation-building and personal growth. Yeola emphasised Vivekananda’s messages of inner strength, peace, and unity, noting that they resonate even more powerfully in today’s world.
The Ramakrishna Centre, a branch of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, has long promoted spiritual and social welfare activities inspired by Vivekananda’s philosophy. The visit underscored strong cultural ties between India and South Africa, fostering inspiration among the Indian diaspora and local youth to embrace values of service, resilience, and harmony for a brighter future.
