An Ode to Vivekananda
On his B’Day(National Youth Day)
Suffocating was the atmosphere when thou hath born
Wretched was our youth society under boots of British Empire
Aimless was it like a rudderless boat
Meandering through the darkness of hopelessness & pessimism
In the midst of turmoil dominating our motherland
Visualizing our golden past
Instigating the youth to retrieve the lost glory
Vastness & importance of Hinduism & tolerance of other religion
Enriched the exuberance of youth with
Knowledge from thy fertile intellect
And thou became the elixir to our youth society
Negating the paraphernalia of British Rule
And orthodox downtrodden society thou enabled us to be enthusiastic
New waves of spiritual awakening was set by thee
Directing the youth to approach steadily to victory
And grasp the freedom uprooting all social evils.
