Nivedita: A Synthesis of East and the West
This Book has been intended to have an impartial understanding of the contribution of Sister Nivedita to the Bengal Renaissance and to the Indian Nationalism.
The author seeks:
- To rediscover the teachings of Indian monk Vivekananda as perceived and articulated by Sister Nivedita;
- To present emphatically before contemporary and future generations the life and work of Sister Nivedita, one of the pioneers of modern India;
- To garner evidences and show how Sister Nivedita acted as a bridge between Western materialism and Indian spiritualism;
- To examine objectively how Sister Nivedita sought to introduce science and technology for the sake of building rational temper to liberate people from the shackles of poverty, superstitions and illiteracy in India;
- To enquire into Sister Nivedita’s robust faith in India’s Advaita philosophy.
