Veterans and motivators blow the bigul to revive Viveknanda mission at Youth4Nation (Y4N) Conclave ’24 at Haridwar

Haridwar (Uttrakhand): Reviving the Spirit of  MAA BHARTI  and spread of Patriotism among youth of Bharat,   was the prime mottive at  Annual Youth For Nation Conclave 2024 at this  ancient and religious location, where veteran defence personnel,  IAS, IPS, academicians and   public service volunteers mulled  over the ways and means to  achieve the target at the earliest. Neutralising  the emerging challenges to Sanatan Dharma and Bhartiya sanskriti  was the other hot subject of discussion in a two-day  Conclave attended by 70 plus delegates from all corners of  India  and Nepal.

The two-day Annual National Conclave,  on Nov. 6 -7, 2024  had  four  brain-storming sessions on various  issues of National importance with   inputs from the delegates, discussing  effective communication modes and  postulates of Bharatiya Sanskriti to be imparted to the younger minds across  the country.  Keeping the cultural variety of Indian  landscape,  delegates from  all regions  propagated their  suggestions for effective  transformation of young minds at school, college levels in their  theatres of action.  The top herarchy  at Y4N heard almost all proposals and inputs from delegates, though  due to time constraint  some suggestions  could not get sufficient  attention and direction. Some  delegates  felt  that such big conclaves and gigantic nature of  discussions,  atleast 4-5 days time is required.

The delegates enjoyed the perfect hospitality at Punjab Sind Kshetra (PSK)   Dharamshala, situated in the middle of  mythological   land  of  Haridwar,  related to   overflowing Amrit Kalash  following  Amrit Manthan in Purana epics  and  legendary  Maa Ganga avtaran from Swarg  thru’ Shivji’s  hairlocks.  Hospitality was perfectly managed by Organising General Secretary Arvind Tripathi,  through his AI-IT skills and  Ashok Sachdeva , Hony. Treaurer Y4N,  with his estate management skills.

The holy  Ganga Aarti at Rishikesh’s  Ganga Ghats was a  great spectacle  of  religious fervour and devotion.  Parmarth Neketan Ashram fecilitated  the Aarti  Bhajan-Pooja and hosted dinner to the  Conclave delegates on 6th Nov.  evening.  Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati, the International Director of Niketan  recited Bhajans and  pravachans from Bhagwat Gita before  dinner.

After  a short   morning  session  at the  PSK Dharamshala on Thursday, November 7, the  delegates had the previlege of visiting  Patanjali University,  a  warm  welcome  meeting  with  Baba Ramdev,  followed   by  a  visit to the Patanjali   Aushdhalya Udhyaan to  witess  the  diverse herbs and  research  facilities  at the  vast Ayurvedic estate of  legendary Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna.   The delegates dispersed after  useful  parleys  at the Conclave  and a pleasant bonhomie  amongst  the   diverse congregation.
