Swami Vivekananda's disciple, Sister Nivedita's 150th birth anniversary today
Born as Margaret Noble at Tyrone, Ireland, on October 28, 1867, Nivedita was the eldest daughter of Samuel and Mary. Her father was a priest of an Irish Church.
The monks of Ramakrishna Mission will celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Sister Nivedita on Saturday. Sister Nivedita was Swami Vivekananda's disciple and made India her home.
Born as Margaret Noble at Tyrone, Ireland, on October 28, 1867, Nivedita was the eldest daughter of Samuel and Mary. Her father was a priest of an Irish Church.
In 1892, at the age of 25, she opened a school of her own in Wimbledon. Margaret was endowed with a sharp intellect, an enquiring mind, and a deep insight of love.
According to historical records, she was a religious seeker, whose search for the truth led her away from the strict dogmas of Christianity. Her search for truth led her in 1895-96 to Swami Vivekananda's teachings of the Vedanta (Complete Works of Sister Nivedita', II 471).

She breathed her last on the 13th October 1911 at Darjeeling, West Bengal.

Nivedita started her school at No.16, Bosepara Lane in Bagh Bazar, Kolkata on November 13,1898 with the blessings of Holy Mother. Parents in the Orthodox Indian society at that time hesitated to send their daughters to school and more so to a school run by a woman of an alien culture. Courtesy:srisaradamath.com
