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.
Mind you, this is life's experience: if you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
-Swami Vivekananda
