Have you ever felt lost or unsure about your future? Well, you’re not alone. Even someone as great as Swami Vivekananda went through the same struggles when he was young. He had doubts, asked tough questions, and wasn’t always sure where his life was heading.
But here’s what makes his story special — he discovered something important: being young isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about building a strong mind and a healthy body to face whatever comes your way.
Poonam from Uttarakhand studies yoga at Kaivalyadhama and she shares,
“When I read about Swami Vivekananda’s early life, it hit me — everyone goes through tough times. What matters is how we use these challenges to grow stronger.”
One of Swamiji’s most surprising ideas was about sports.
He said, “ you might get closer to heaven by playing football than by reading religious books!”
What he meant was simple — taking care of your body is just as important as developing your mind. Engaging in practices like yoga at Kaivalyadhama can be a wonderful way to nurture both.
Today, the young face all kinds of challenges — from stress about studies to worry about jobs. But Vivekananda’s message is simple and powerful,
He said “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life”.
The idea is to focus on one goal at a time and give it your all.
