About The Book: "The Master as I Saw Him" by Sister Nivedita, a 1910 classic, vividly chronicles intense spiritual experiences from Swami Vivekananda's life. The book assumes familiarity with Vivekananda, India's traditions, and historical customs. Written over 100 years ago, it portrays a past India marred by entrenched social prejudices like the caste system and mistreatment of women. Nivedita's humble and intelligent narrative captures gripping anecdotes, including Vivekananda's encounters with Lord Buddha, Lord Shiva's boon of death at will, divine voices, Samadhi experiences, and interactions with distressed spirits. This classic offers a unique perspective on Vivekananda's life through the eyes of a devoted disciple. 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. Nivedita, who died in 1911, left a significant impact on Indian education and nationalism. Her works, including "The Web of Indian Life" and "Cradle Tales of Hinduism," aimed to dispel Western myths about Indian culture.
