“India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples. And that which must seek now to awake is not an anglicised oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the occident's success and failure, but still the ancient immemorable Shakti recovering her deepest self, lifting her head higher towards the supreme source of light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and a vaster form of her Dharma.”

If you want to help the Indian children, or make the world a better place in any other way, you have to start by becoming whole yourself.”

If you do not raise the women, who are living embodiment of the Divine Mother, don’t think that you have any other way to rise.”
