The chief guest of the day Sri. Lakshmish Hegde Sonda in his speech said youth should adopt the mantra of Sri Vivekananda which says “Until you can trust, you cannot trust god”. If we are not able to see god in other humans and ourselves, then where can we find divinity. He said that swami Vivekananda was a practical man who believed that the service to mankind should be selfless as service to mankind was service to god. He dedicated his life to teaching and building the youth, the importance of social service and laying the groundwork of character and leader attributes.
