Rousing call by Swami Vivekananda to Sisters and Brothers of India:

“I simply want to be like the squirrel in the building of Râma's bridge, who was quite content to put on the bridge his little quota of sand-dust. That is my position”.

Swami Vivekananda at Shakespeare Club, Pasadena, California, 31 January 1900

Blessed is the little squirrel; he is doing his work to the best of his ability ………… said Sri Rama, we too are working to the best of our ability to fulfill the dream of “Green Rameswaram” project.
