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.
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Do not repent, do not brood over past deeds. Be aazaad (free).
-Swami Vivekananda
