Why Narendra Dutta is known as Swami Vivekananda? Well! it was about 1893 when he was supposed to attend the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago. On that very eve of his departure, he took this name for him. And, with his speeches in that event, he became very famous and known in the world as “orator by divine right” and as a “Messenger of Indian wisdom to the Western world”.

Being titled as the “Messenger of Indian wisdom to the Western world”, the Government of India felt that he’s the only one whose spirituality can preach even the further coming generations. As an honour to him, his birthday was declared as the National Youth Day.
Swami Vivekananda’s birthday i.e. the National Youth Day is celebrated almost in every school and college across all India with inspirational & motivational speeches, recitations, music, dance, drama, sports, and various activities for the entire day.
And, at last, Swami Vivekananda took his last breath on 4th July 1902 at the Belur Math. But that great personality is still between us with his immortal legacy. Today also, he is in the hearts of all the Indians and he will always be!
