The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising the belief of Swami Vivekananda that youth power is the most powerful cornerstone of nation-building and the youth of India can realize every ambition with their zeal and passion:
"अङ्गणवेदी वसुधा कुल्या जलधिः स्थली च पातालम्।
वल्मीकश्च सुमेरुः कृतप्रतिज्ञस्य वीरस्य॥"
The Subhashitam conveys that, for the brave and strong willed, entire earth is like their own courtyard, seas like ponds and sky – high mountain like mole hills . Nothing on earth is impossible for those whose will is rock solid.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“स्वामी विवेकानंद का मानना था कि युवा शक्ति ही राष्ट्र-निर्माण की सबसे सशक्त आधारशिला है। भारतीय युवा अपने जोश और जुनून से हर संकल्प को साकार कर सकते हैं।
अङ्गणवेदी वसुधा कुल्या जलधिः स्थली च पातालम्।
वल्मीकश्च सुमेरुः कृतप्रतिज्ञस्य वीरस्य॥"
