About The Author: Sister Nivedita (1867-1911) was an Irish teacher, author, and social activist, known for her association with Swami Vivekananda and dedication to India. After meeting Vivekananda in 1895, she moved to Calcutta in 1898, where she opened a girls' school and played a vital role during the 1899 plague epidemic. Despite her close ties to the Ramakrishna Mission, she distanced herself due to her nationalist activities, avoiding British persecution.
