Every day, each of us get many experiences while traveling, while meeting the people, while working and in daily routine. Many of these ripples die off. But some experiences stay close to heart and become beautiful memories. Many such contemplative moments are filled in the life of every social worker as well. This book is a compilation of reminiscences of Mananeeya Nivedita Didi, about her experience with people all over the country.
Didi makes it a great learning for the readers. Perhaps, she recalls Thakur Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa saying 'As long as I live, so long do I learn'. All the stories are incidents from the lives of the rural and common people of India. Each story is very inspirational and show the inner meaning of what life is all about. Some incidents are from very remote places that we generally do not get to read about. The stories consist of topics such as the struggle for education, values, divinity and oneness. Every story shows a different aspect of human nature. Each story has been told in such a way that one finds one's eyes wet while reading it.
Every single story in this book is heart-touching, astonishing and brilliantly told. Each story is refreshingly different from the other. They teach us that we never know what goes on in the minds of other people in our society. We do not know their principles or their outlook towards life. In many aspects, some are far greater than us and there is a lot we can learn from them. Each story from the Bharateeyas, from remote corners of this holy land is worth reading, remembering, and taking values to guide us in our lives.
Lakshmi Narayana's immaculate love, Saraswathi's happiness, which springs in spite of the unpleasant circumstances, squeezes our hearts and tears will flow, The Telephone Booth owner, Janakan's poverty, Temple poojari incidents all make our chest to expand and make you walk with dignity. This Bhoomi holds such values in her treasure. The concern of the Nashik bus conductor, a bala sanyasi's patriotism, Boleng village people's, empathy to rebuild the hut in a day are something easy to follow in our lives too. The Author has collected valuable and precious pearls from the bottom of the heart, stringed them into a necklace to offer to "Mother Bharati."
She was a born teacher and a good observer, and moulding the human being is her passion. While training, she is very sharp. I remember a Shubashita saying वज्रादपि कठोराणि मृदूनि कुसुमादपि which translates as: "Noble persons become firm like the Diamond, and at the same time very gentle like a flower" depending upon the prevailing situation. Didi has written these stories not with pen, but with indelible gems of impressions which those experiences have left in her heart. With these stories we get a true insight into the Bharateeya Sanskruti. You can begin reading this book from any page and you will get refreshed.
