Description

Swami Vivekananda urged: So shall we bring to the need of India great fearless womenwomen worthy to continue the traditions of Sanghamitta (Sanghmitra in Sanskrit) Lila Ahalya Bai and Mira Baiwomen fit to be mothers of heroes because they are pure and selfless strong with the strength that comes of touching the feet of God. The actual measure of a society s cultural and spiritual capacity is how women are positioned within it. In Indian society, women have always held a respected position. That country and that nation which do not respect women have never become great and will never be in the future, said Swami Vivekananda. This anthology of books on famous Indian women includes five volumes that expose youngsters to the renowned women of Indian history as told in the Puranic texts of the Ramayana and Mahabharata.The narratives depict women s customary roles in ancient India. Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Meerabai Muktabai Rani Rasmani Sister Nivedita are featured in Volume 5.
