Sister Nivedita (1867-1911), born Margaret Elizabeth Nobel, was a prominent western disciple of Swami Vivekananda. The Swami dedicated her to the service of India and called her 'Nivedita'.

Sister Nivedita's fiery spirit knew no rest till her whole personality was spent for the cause of her dedication - India. In the midst of her tireless efforts for the education and amelioration of Indian women and arousing the nation and the nationalists to the greatness of their religion and culture, she found time to make a deep study of Indian literature, philosophy, mythology, and history. She was a prolific writer and orator whose insightful lectures, articles, letters and books are an illuminating read for any who wishes to know more about Swami Vivekananda and Indian Values and Culture.
