Nivedita by Dr. Debanjan Sengupta [Hardcover]

She loved referring to herself as "Ramakrishna-Vivekananda's Nivedita." Yet, despite her profound dedication, this identity alone does not fully encapsulate her. The study of Nivedita has often been constrained within this limited perspective. Her spiritual teacher, Margaret Elizabeth Noble, gave her the name "Nivedita," meaning "the dedicated one," which perfectly reflected her wholehearted devotion—to her ideals, her guru's teachings, and her beloved India.

Her humble epitaph in the secluded cemetery of Darjeeling reads, "Here Reposes Sister Nivedita Who Gave Her All to India." This epitaph's profound simplicity is rare. By dedicating herself selflessly, she enriched India's science, literature, arts, politics, spirituality, and journalism. This exploration seeks to capture her multifaceted radiance and its deep roots and context.
