Thousands of youth participated in “Run for the Nation” program on
Wednesday which was held to mark Swami Vivekananda’s 150th birth
anniversary.
The run, which was organised by Swami Vivekananda 150th Jyanthi
Utsava Samithi, commenced at Lumbini park at around 10.30 am and
concluded at the People’s Plaze, Necklace Road. It was followed by a
public meeting.
Addressing the gathering, former DGP K Aravinda Rao, said that people
should aspire to become like Swami Vivekananda and should get rid of
the mentality of a slave.
He added that, in Chicago, Swami Vivekananda, on one hand spoke about
the prominence of Indian culture and on the other hand pointed out the
ills of society and suggested solutions for them.
Swami Gyanadhananda, Ramakrishna Math, said that in the Chicago
gathering which was attended by as many as 7,000 people, when Swami
Vivekananda addressed them as “Brothers and Sisters of America”, he was
appreciated by a thunderous applause which lasted for three minutes.
The run and the meeting was conducted in all the districts of the state, informed a member of the organising committee.
