  "O Mother! my desires are unfulfilled;

  My hopes are ungratified;

  But my life is fast coming to an end.

  Let me call Thee, Mother, for the last time;

  Come and take me in Thy arms.

  None loves in the world;

  This world knows not how to love;

  My heart yearns, O Mother, to go there,

  Where love reigns supreme."

A Message from the Founder about Saris:

As I frequently visit temples and travel to India, I have worn saris for many years. I have a huge sari collection myself and adore every minute of sari shopping and sari wearing. I am a Western Woman so I always get comments when wearing a sari, how did I learn, where did I get them. At the end of the day, saris are just beautiful and don't let not knowing how to wear them properly stop you for getting one.

If you are intimidated by wearing them, don't be, I have included a video on how to wear them below. Enjoy!
