Q40. Read the following passage carefully. The lockdown led me back to some childhood classics like ‘Cradle Tales of Hinduism’, and the story of the Buddha in ‘Footfalls of Indian History’. Abstruse philosophical readings of later times could not erase the charming storytelling ability of these two companion publications, written by one whose love and dedication to the cause of India’s resurgence have become legendary.Swami Vivekananda called her Nivedita, ‘the dedicated one’. Transformed by the clarion call of Vivekananda, Elizabeth Margaret Noble left home and hearth to plunge into the task set out by her preceptor, to immerse herself completely in Indian spiritual renaissance.Rabindranth Tagore was to call her Lokmata, ‘mother of the people’. Sri Aurobindo described her as Agnishikha, ‘flame of fire’. Vivekananda would say she was “a real lioness”. Nivedita loved her adopted motherland where she led a simple and austere life in the tradition of her teacher.The spiritual trigger provided by Vivekananda propelled Nivedita to nationalist and cultural causes as well. She would say, “I will look to India; India may look to the West if she wishes … my task is to awaken the nation.” She inspired Abanindranath Tagore to revive the Indianness of Indian art. She helped Jagdish Bose not only with her generous sponsorship but was willing to be an editorial apprentice for his scientific research. Nivedita encouraged Subramania Bharati’s vision in his fight for women’s rights and against casteism. Bharati would say that in the presence of Sister Nivedita, he felt a tremendous power, a powerful shakti.Her work among the poorest and the most destitute in Kolkata, makes her an early forerunner of Mother Teresa. During the 1899 plague in Kolkata, her work was inspired by her master’s spiritual vision of ‘Daridra Narayana’, that God is to be found amongst the poor and the infirm, that service takes one to Self. She initiated relief work and organised relief camps by sweeping streets and cleaning drains. Thousands came out on the streets to help her in recognition of the ideals of service and sacrifice, which Nivedita embodied.It was this tremendous willpower and strength that saw her go door-to-door to enlist girls for her school in Kolkata in the same period, in an effort to break down prejudices about girls’ education. Her involvement and concern ensured her being accepted as member of all the families she touched with her concern and kindness. Despite lack of funds and extreme privation, she kept the girls’ school going and became known as the Sister of Kolkota. Her spirit of service saw her wade through muddy waters to help people in villages during the 1905 Bengal floods.Nivedita’s love for everything Indian was eloquently demonstrated in her serving of tea to Lady Minto who was on a visit to the Dakshineshwar temple. Swami Tathagatananda records that everything was swadeshi – biscuits, tea, sugar, cups and saucers, even.Jagdish Chandra Bose got the image of a woman stepping forward, lamp in hand, installed at his Centre, in Nivedita’s memory. But nowhere is Sister Nivedita’s life more poignantly summed up, than in her epitaph in Darjeeling that says, “Here repose the ashes of Sister Nivedita who gave her all to India”.The writer is joint secretary, Government of India.
