Shri Modi gave the Mantra of ‘Icha+Sthirta=Sankalp (Desire+
Steadiness = Determination) and ‘Sankalp+Parishram=Siddhi’
(Determination+ Hardwork = Acomplishment). “Dreams must be
steady and then they become determination. Add hard work to
it and it becomes Siddhi,” he declared.
The Chief Minister commented about the changing perception
about India and recalled an anecdote where someone asked
him if India is still land of snake charmers to which he has
replied, “Earlier we were a nation of snake charmers. Nowwe are
a nation of mouse charmers!” referring to the progress made by
the Indian youth in IT sector.
Likewise, he recalled an anecdote when President Bill Clinton
visited India and had visited a village in Rajasthan. “When
President Clinton visited a village in Rajasthan, a person called
Kaluram went to him. People in the village were thinking why is
Kaluram doing this? However, this Kaluram went to President
Clinton and asked him if he thought India is still a land of snake
charmers and magic? President Clinton was rattled and said no,
he does not think so and assured that wherever he goes he will
convey the picture of the India he saw! I want every youngster
of India to have this strength. It is this Yuva Shakti that will take
India to greater heights,” he stated.
Shri Modi affirmed that Swami Vivekananda saw India as the
leader of the world, Jagat Guru Bharat and added that this dream
of Swami Vivekananda cannot be false. “We need to work hard
to realize his dream. The time is ours. This century is ours. This is
a century of knowledge,” he declared.
A large number of youngsters were present on the occasion and
they were extremely inspired by the words of wisdom shared
by the Chief Minister. Cabinet Minister Shri Ramanlal Vora was
present on the occasion.
