Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that Swami Vivekananda awakened India's dormant self-consciousness and introduced its culture and spiritual identity globally. Speaking on National Youth Day, Adityanath highlighted Vivekananda's journey from seeker to transformer, emphasizing his message of focus, resolve, and continuous action. He noted that Vivekananda represented India when its self-awareness was diminished by foreign invaders, and his teachings aimed to restore national pride and establish India as a 'vishwa guru' (world teacher) through youth power and spiritual consciousness.
