She was an Irish-born schoolteacher who was a follower of the Indian spiritual leader Vivekananda (Narendranath Datta) and became an influential spokesperson promoting Indian national consciousness, unity, and freedom.Noble met Vivekananda when he visited England in 1895, and she was attracted to the universal principles of Vedanta and to Vivekananda’s humanistic teachings. Accepting him as her guru (spiritual teacher) before he left England in 1896, she worked for the Vedanta movement in England until she went to India in 1898. She went to India primarily to help Vivekananda realize his plans to educate women, and she opened a small school at Calcutta(now Kolkata) in Bengal, where she tried to blend Indian traditions with Western ideas.Following Vivekananda’s death in 1902, Nivedita turned her attention more toward India’s political emancipation. She objected strongly to the partition of Bengal in 1905 and, as part of her deep involvement in the revival of Indian art, supported the swadeshi movement. She was closed associated with the Ramkrishna Mission but because she was also a leader of Indian national movement, she had to publically dissociate herself from the Mission which focused on spiritual and social issues only. The poet Rabindranath Tagore, one of her close friends,summed up that sentiment when, after her death, he referred to her as the “mother of the people.”
