Geeta for Yuva, Shrikrishna- Youth icon

Generally we celebrate Krishnajayanti by breaking Dahi handi , playing music and dancing in front of the lord. Additional to the general celebration these youngsters thought differently and took up this project which is creative and helpful to others. They are sharing their experiences and talking about Bhagavadgeeta in different colleges. They are also distributing Bhagavadgeeta to youngsters free of cost. The run is aimed to demonstrate strong mind in a strong body.


Swami Mitrananda, Directort of All India chinmaya Yuva Kendra, who believes that, “make them do, what you want in a way in which they like doing it”. He gave this small project to the youngsters so they can understand and experience the message of Bhagavadgeeta.

Geeta is a greatest scripture and it deals about every aspect of human life. It is not limited to any religion or group of people. Studying Geeta is very important to live happily and peacefully. The thoughts of Bhagavadgeeta are helpful to the youngsters in their life. so many great people like Lokmanya Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Khudiram Bose, Einstine, Subhash Chandra Bose, Veer Savarkar are appreciated the message of the Geeta, and agreed that Geeta helped them when they did something different/ when they faced greatest challenges of their life.

Today’s life is very fast, youngsters are going through tough competition and stressful education system. They need some role models in their life. Shrikrishna is a greatest youth icon because he enjoyed all the aspects of the life. He enjoyed his childhood, youthfulness and became a role model to others. He was focused, balanced so he could achieve perfection in every field. We should see Shrikrishna as a role model, youth icon than the God. If we see him as a God, we think that, he did great things because he was God.

On the occasion of the Krishna jayanti we should try to follow at least one value from his life. If the value grows in us it is the real birth of Krishna. It means we are celebrated and understood the real meaning of Shri Krishna jayanti. Let’s come together and start celebration of every festival creatively, so the real purpose of the celebration can be achieved.
