Intermediate Report on Rural Educational Services – 2015-16

“The only God to worship is the human soul in the human body. Of course, all animals are temples too, but man is the highest, the Taj Mahal of temples. If I cannot worship in that, no other temple will be of any advantage”.

– Swami Vivekananda
