National Youth Day: Swamiji's advice to the youth

NATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2016

Swami Vivekananda's advice to the youth:

Be strong, my young friends; that is my advice to you. You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita. These are bold words; but I have to say them, for I love you. I know where the shoe pinches. I have gained a little experience. You will understand the Gita better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger. You will understand the mighty genius and the mighty strength of Krishna better with a little of strong blood in you.
(Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Lectures from Colombo to Almora)
