Revolutionary leader

Sir — This refers to the article, “In memory of India’s little sister” (October 26) by Anirban Ganguly. On Sister Nivedita’s sesquicentennial birthday this year, we must feel the fire that she was as described by Sri Aurobindo. On being asked if she was a revolutionary, Sri Aurobindo said, “What do you meanIJ She was one of the revolutionary leaders. She went about visiting various places in India to come in contact with the people. She was open and frank and talked about her revolutionary plan to everybody. When she used to speak on revolution, it was her very soul that spoke, her true personality used to come out. Yoga was yoga of course, but it was as if this work was intended for her: That was fire if you like.”
