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.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
