Early Days of Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysore
Swadesha Mantra
"O India! Forget not that the ideal of thy womanhood is Sita, Savitri, Damayanti; forget not that the God thou worship is the great ascetic of ascetics, the all
renouncing Shankara, the Lord of Uma; forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense pleasure, are not for thy individual personal
happiness; forget not that thou art born as a sacrifice to the Mother's altar; forget not that thy social order is but the reflex of the Infinite Universal Motherhood; forget not that
the lower classes, the ignorant, the poor, the illiterate, the cobbler, the sweeper, are thy flesh and blood, thy brothers. Thou brave one, be bold, take courage, be proud that thou art an Indian, and proudly
proclaim, 'I am an Indian, the Brahmin Indian, the Pariah Indian, is my brother' Thou, too, clad with but a rag round thy loins, proudly
proclaim at the top of thy voice: "The Indian is my brother, the Indian is my life, India's gods and goddesses are my God.
India's society is the cradle of my infancy, the pleasure-garden of my youth, the sacred heaven, the Varanasi of my old age."
Say brother: 'The soil of India is my highest heaven, the good of India is my good,' and repeat and pray day and night,
'O Thou Lord of Gauri, O Thou Mother of Universe, vouchsafe manliness unto me! O Thou Mother of Strength, take away my weakness, and make me a man!'"
-Swami Vivekananda
