The Complete Works of Sister Nivedita (Vol.5)

In these five volumes, comprising the illuminating lectures, writings, articles, books, and epistles, etc., of the author, we find her marvellous intellect, her lyrical powers of expression, the intensity with which she held her beliefs and convictions, her capacity to see the soul of things straightaway, and above all, her boundless love for India. Her deep study of Indian literature, combined with her keen intellect and comprehensive mind, helped her to understand India as a whole. This work stands as, perhaps, the best appraisal of India by a Western mind.
