Takeaways
“I have been greatly enjoying my present project of reading the life of Ramakrishna’s wife in Hindi. She is one of India’s very greatest saints and as she only died in 1920 a great deal is known about her. She was completely uneducated, observed rigid purdah, lived most of her life in a tiny village doing the most menial kind of drudgery and yet inspired thousand in her lifetime and the cream of educated and cultured Indian society fell at her feet. She was married at the age of five.…She also opposed child marriage which she claimed was responsible for most of their troubles…”
— Marcia Moore, 1950s

Takeaways
“I finally got a hold of the book, The Third Eye and found it completely fascinating. It has caused a lot of controversy among the Buddhist’s however, because it talks of a soul and God which they absolutely don’t accept. But you must read it…Kalimpong is very divided about the third eye. Most people here among the Buddhists do not consider it completely genuine - Personally I think there is something in it.”
— Marcia Moore, 1950s

Takeaways
“We enjoyed Aubrey Menon’s piece on Hinduism. When I first read his cersion of the Ramayana it seemed very clever and good but arriving in Bengal where the book was banned and where people live on their simple faith in the deeds of this god I tended to agree that it was blasphemous. But now since reading a straight version on the epic I’ve gone back to my original position and more so. Some of the things in it are really terrible! Such as when Rama takes his pregnant wife, Sita, out to thejungle for a lovely walk and just dumps her there to die because a dhobi has been heard to murmur against her - although he himself knows and she has proven her complete innocence….So it does no harm to have a few people like Aubrey Menon about who can speak wittily and with underlying sympathy about these things. Personally I would never be that brave.”
