NIVEDITA 150

1. As we step into the 150th year of Sister Nivedita's advent on earth, let us read and reflect on this glorious chapter of our nation's history.

2. Sister Nivedita dedicated herself to our motherland in a way so complete that she erased the very memory of her life before India.

3. Nivedita's devotion to her Guru translated into love for her preceptor's motherland. She became the 'Dedicated One' of India.

4. Versatility was her forte. Nivedita was one those rare renaissance personalities who graced us to expedite our evolution.

5. But for Nivedita there would have been no J.C.Bose as we know him. Sister played a seminal role in his eventual creative output.

6. Intrepid as she was, Nivedita inspired fearlessness in the revolutionaries as they surged ahead to overthrow the Raj.

7. The hallowed moment has arrived. Happy birthday, Sister! You are 150 today. b. 28 Oct., 1867, Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland.

8. On Nivedita's 150th birth anniversary let us come forward to help the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission expand the Nivedita School in Kolkata.

9. Nivedita's greatest contribution lay in interpreting Vivekananda to the world, his inner workings of mind, thought processes and ideas.

10. The youth must in all humility take up the study of Swamiji and Netaji to be able to grasp the identity and ethos of our motherland.
