Saralabala Sarkar, the authoress was well-known in the literary circle of Bengal. This booklet on the life of Sister Nivedita is the first of its kind published in Bengali within 1914, when very few knew about her. She came into close contact with Nivedita when her only child Nirjharini Sarkar (mother of Sri Ashok Kumar Sarkar) was admitted into her school. The keen insight of the authoress enabled her to understand and reveal the depth of Nivedita’s love for India, thus helping the future generation to evaluate her contribution to the struggle for freedom.

Swami Vivekananda said to Sister Nivedita: “It is no superstition with you, I am sure, you have the making in you of a world mover, and others will also come. Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?” “In nothing, perhaps, did the personal freedom of Vivekananda show itself more plainly than in his grasp of the continuity of national life. The new form was always, to him, sanctified by the old consecration. To draw pictures of the goddess Saraswati was, according to him, “to worship her”. The old Bhakti of the cow showed how receptive was the spirit of Hindu society of new and scientific methods of dairy farming, and the pasturing and the care of animals… Study was tapasya, and Hindu meditativeness an aid to scientific insight. All work was a form of renunciation. Love, even of home and family, was always capable of being wrought into a grander and more universal passion…”.

Sister Nivedita’s original name was Margaret Elizabeth Noble. She was born on October 28, 1867, at Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, in far-off Ireland. She came from a family called Noble who were of Scottish descent but had been settled in Ireland for about five centuries. Her father and grandfather lived in very unhappy times. The English had been oppressing the people of Ireland, and they were struggling hard to win freedom for themselves. There was no safety, no security. It is said that Margaret’s grandfather, John Noble, was one of the fighters for freedom, and so was her maternal grandfather Hamilton.
