Margaret Elizabeth Noble was a teacher living in London when she first encountered Swami Vivekananda, whose words, "came as living water to men perishing of thirst." A little over two years later, Margaret arrived in Calcutta and was initiated into Brahmacharya by Swami Vivekananda and given the name: Nivedita, the dedicated.

Working tirelessly for India, and especially it's women, Sister Nivedita nevertheless found time to make deep studies of Indian literature, philosophy, mythology, culture and history. The nearly 2500 pages of the The Complete Works of Sister Nivedita are the result of these studies. This is a really remarkable accomplishment produced over a period of only 14 years.

Sister Nivedita died at the age of 43 on October 13, 1911.
