Rani Ma is a role model. We can learn many things from her life.
-
- Rani Rashmoni was a great philanthropist. She believed in simple living and high thinking. She was the queen of Janbazar, but she never hesitated to reach out to the poor and needy people of the society.
-
- She is an epitome of ‘Nari Shakti’. She fought for the rights of the women and fought against the social evils that existed in Bengal. She raised their voices at a time when women were forced a lead a life filled with restrictions.
-
- Throughout her life, Rani Rashmoni faced much opposition from society. But she never quit. She continued with her fight. Here, we see that if you are determined and on the right path then, nobody can stop you from achieving your goals.
-
- Rani Rashmoni taught us that if we want to change society then, it needs to start with ‘I’. Society will only change when people start changing themselves. She never hesitated to take the first step.
-
- She was a great devotee. Rani Rashmoni fought against social evils, but she always followed the traditional culture, and never lost her faith upon God. Here, we understand the importance of spirituality in our lives.
Rani Rashmoni was way ahead of her time. She was one of the great pioneers who raised her voice against the British rule.
