Swami Vivekananda

It is very difficult to understand why in this country [India] so much difference is made between men and women, whereas the Vedanta declares that one and the same conscious Self is present in all beings.

If you do not raise the women, who are living embodiment of the Divine Mother, don’t think that you have any other way to rise.
