The late Swami Vireswaranandaji, President of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, though a nonagenarian, was very youthful in spirit and took active interest in all youth movements. In this booklet is the English translation of his stirring appeal to the youth to rebuild India. This message in Bengali was distributed as a booklet on the occasion of the first National Youth Day celebrated on 12 January 1985 at the Belur Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Order.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
