The students of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya have pledged to imbibe the thoughts of Swami Vivekananda in their life to mark National Youth Day, coinciding with the 152 birth anniversary of the Swamiji.
A debate competition was also organised on the topic ‘I’ as a part of observance of the day.
The meaning of ‘I’ in the spiritual context was explained in course of the programme.
Stress was laid on transcending the separative ego-consciousness with cosmic consciousness as the cyclonic monk envisioned.
In the debate competition, Amrita Kumari of BA stood first, while Prerna Kumari of Mass Communication stood second and Kumari Upasana of B Sc, came third.
Medals and certificates were given to the winners by the Registrar of the Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Sharad Parthi.
An animated film was also shown, depicting myriad aspects of Swami Vivekananda’s life.
Parthi elucidated on 15 golden points and dwelt on the relation between the teachers and the taught, be it students or teachers.
