Vivekananda had been staunch calibrator of Virtuous Growth Loops, he and his methodological approach formed pillars of empowerment for the youth by replacing the orthodox programming with the same

 
“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do anything and everything, without even the guidance of anyone. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”

Vivekananda with his exceptional leadership traits ignited the essence of personal growth and upgrade among youth. He had definitive vision of building the youth capital of the nation and imparting spiritual prowess to them. His knowledge and wisdom are very well layered in the form of institutes in the field of well-being, well-ness, Spirituality and Education.

Vivekananda had seen early Industrialization and born in the time-line between 1860 - 1905, he had seen Industrialization maturing throughout the nation. In addition to the same, there had been major transitions happening in the field of Spirituality, Education, Infrastructure development and trade throughout the nation.
While societal and industrial development had been taking due consideration in the nation, this was not the phase of rapid urbanization - rather this is part of the India which was at the intersection of colonialization, stigma & orthodox traditions and rapid industrial development.

Vivekananda and lots of his works revolve around removal of Stigma, Orthodox, Unscientific traditions and practises in the name of religion, excessive adherence to traditions at the cost of Education, early child marriages, women abuse and inherent societal issues prevailing around unsystematic, orthodox rules & regulations hampering progress of the youth and taking them away from the path of education and progress.

His emphasis on education stems from the realization that there had been elements of Violence, Inhumane practises, Unjust traditions and Abuse against some classes of society in the name of religion and orthodox traditions. It is said that that the easiest way to incite any communal or societal disharmony as well as violence is to tag the same with extreme religious or relational aspect. There had been brutal killings of women as well as youth owning to incitation in the aspects of relationships, marriages, orthodox traditions, different religious followings. It is easiest to incite any massive disharmony on the pillars of Religious Differences, Abusing women of other religions or sect, or Differences in Relationship domains. Even in the modern days, there are numerous incidents where there are extreme incidents of violence happening around these domains which detract the youth, take away their mind-frame and in extreme cases even lead to violent killings.

Vivekananda knew how easy it is to incite society and youth on the pillars of religious differences, orthodox and unscientific principles embedded in minds, stigma around relationships and marital aspects. Vivekananda had realized that the nation had been occupied with extremity around highly sensitive & delicate domains like religion, relationships, orthodox traditions and unscientific practises which led to increase in stigma and hampering real progress of the nation. Emotions and undue exercise of emotions are prime results in extreme scenarios where Individuals have identified themselves with a particular religion, caste, inherent stigma, unscientific principle, relationship issue. When individuals lose their discretion to exercise emotional control around these extreme scenarios, it leads to violent rupture of society. The massive scale at which such incidents had prevailed made Vivekananda an avid leader in the field of Education and Spirituality. He figured out the solution to the same and it was "Education". It is needless to say that Vivekananda provided that bandwidth for individuals who would be left behind owning to orthodox programming, uncivilized discourse and prevailing stigmas. Vivekananda and his leadership / broad-mindedness provided bandwidth to widows, orphaned children, unsheltered old-age Indians, poor and downtrodden females.

Vivekananda in his numerous works talks about such incidents and how he utilized exceptional power of "Education" to lead the youth towards the path of progress, industrialization and urbanization.

Vivekananda in some way created foundational pillars on Importance of Education. He had realized that the only way to fight such invisible features in the society mainly around stigma, violence, orthodox practises, abuse, traditions and extreme relational expects tied with fragile human emotions was "Education". Education while informing us about various branches of knowledge, also brings few virtuous traits which are unparalleled. It provides ability to question any methodology or way of thinking. It provides bandwidth to exercise emotional control, to turn obstacles into opportunities, to turn chaos into creativity.

It is invisible guardian against extreme scenarios and with its right application, Vivekananda aimed to build nation with the pillars of discretion, information and harmony. Education also brings "death of the massive ego". It provides discretion in extreme scenarios and provides uncanny prowess to utilize one's own approach & way of thinking instead of accepting any pre-conceived tradition or popularly accepted notion.

Vivekananda with his numerous works aimed to bring out hidden prowess of Education in forming Virtuous growth loops. He realized that no amount of shouting, no amount of efforts can take away this stigma, wrongly programmed mindsets of individual, orthodox regimes and way of dealing with extreme-sensitive scenarios. Vivekananda.

He has provided contribution in the field of wellness, healthcare, education and spirituality.

"Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way."

"You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul."

"Talk to yourself at least once in a day, otherwise, you may miss meeting an excellent person in this world."
