Swami Vivekananda is one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers whose teachings continue to motivate and inspire people across age groups even today.  He was born on January 12, 1863, and Swami Vivekananda Jayanti is celebrated every year on this day to celebrate the great man's birth anniversary.

Swamiji became a monk at the age of 25 and he founded Ramakrishna Mission on 1 May 1897 in Calcutta and Ramakrishna Math in Belur on 9 December 1898 on the banks of river Ganges.

On January 12, National Youth Day is also celebrated every year. In 1984 the Government of India declared this day as National Youth Day. The day is celebrated to motivate the youth and to help them face challenges and manage them. Another objective behind celebrating this day is also to make the youth inculcate the rich legacy of Swamiji's teachings.
