About the Author:

Sister Nivedita, born Margaret Elizabeth Noble (1867 – 1911) was a Scots-Irish social worker, author, teacher and a disciple of Swami Vivekananda. She met him in 1895 in London and travelled to Calcutta, India in 1898. Swami Vivekananda gave her the name Nivedita (meaning "Dedicated to God") when he initiated her into the vow of Brahmacharya. In November 1898, she opened a girls' school in Calcutta. She was very intimate with Sarada Devi, the spiritual consort of Ramakrishna and one of the major influences behind Ramakrishna Mission and also with all brother disciples of Swami Vivekananda.
