Swami Vivekananda traces the downfall of India to the continued neglect of our women and of our masses. This book is an attempt to bring together in a single compass the thoughts of this great teacher on the subject of Indian women?their past, present, and future?that lie scattered in his voluminous speeches and writings.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
