Tantine' presents the reminiscences, conversations, letters, and autobiographical notes of a woman who, in her love for India and for Swami Vivekananda exceeded the bounds of 'Eastern' and 'Western'. Her strong and colourful personality provides many though-provoking and charming anecdotes and her interesting observations also document the pioneering stage in the history of the Ramakrishna Order.
Who will bring light to the poor? Who will travel from door to door bringing education to them? Let these people be your God -- think of them, work for them, pray for them incessantly. The Lord will show you the way.
-Swami Vivekananda
