About Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Youth Forum, Indore in Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Hindu Temple, Indore

It is a youth organization working for the personality development and character building of Youths in the light of Swami Vivekananda's message. Swami Vivekananda has expressed his faith in younger generation and always believed in the creative and positive energy of youths.

Swami Vivekananda wanted a rejuvenated new India whose main architects will be the youth of India—youth who are endowed with a combination of the three h’s: heart to feel, head to think and hands to work. For this, he wanted our youth to be aware of their ancient glorious heritage.

In his inspiring words, “My whole ambition in life is to set in motion a machinery which will bring noble ideas to the door of everybody, and then let men and women settle their own fate. Let them know what our forefathers as well as other nations have thought on the most momentous questions of life.” On another occasion he said: “For a complete civilization the world is waiting, waiting for the treasures to come out of India, waiting for the marvelous spiritual inheritance of that race, which, through decades of degradation and misery, the nation has still clutched to her breast.
The world is waiting for that treasure; little do you know how much of hunger and of thirst there is outside of India for these wonderful treasures of our forefathers. We talk here, we quarrel with each other, we laugh at and we ridicule everything sacred, till it has become almost a national vice to ridicule everything holy. Little do we understand the heart-pangs of millions waiting outside the walls, stretching forth their hands for a little sip of that nectar which our forefathers have preserved in this land of India.” It behooves us, therefore, to reverentially study the glorious spiritual and cultural heritage of our own country before we can distribute ‘that nectar’ to others.
