We can form no idea of the millions of pounds that are spent every year in the making of dress in the West. The dress-making business has become a regular science. What colour of dress will suit with the complexion of the girl and the colour of her hair, what special feature of her body should be disguised, and what displayed to the best advantage-these and many other like important points, the dressmakers have seriously to consider. Again, the dress that ladies of very high position wear, others have to wear also, otherwise they lose their caste! This is FASHION.
Swami VivekanandaRenunciation, and renunciation alone, is the real secret, the Mulamantra, of all Realisation.
Swami VivekanandaThrough the imparting of moral principles, good behaviour, and education we must make the Chandala come up to the level of the Brahmana.
Swami VivekanandaSee what an atmosphere of holiness is here the pure air of the Ganga what an assemblage of Sadhus will you find anywhere a place like this!
