Nectar #32

📖 The Scoop

A keenly vibrant and grateful world of conscious living beings who revere religion, philosophy, and spirituality, and who count themselves as lovers of Divine Reality on earth, has recently completed celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of that incomparable soul, Swami Vivekananda. And by the looks of it, it will take much more than another 150 years for the world to awaken to just who it was who came amongst them in that august form. Was it Buddha? Was it Lord Siva? Was it Jesus come again? Or was it an integrated combination of these great souls, including others, who graced this material loka – an atmic amalgam of earth-shaking proportions and ramifications?

To answer more fully these intriguing questions, inquiry into the lives of a few of the Western women who met him in his recent incarnation as the Divine Lord coming into human form, attended by powerful incarnations of Shakti bent upon lifting up the very physical level of existence itself into transcendent spiritual dimensions, can be made.

And that is also what Nectar of Nondual Truth aspires to in this issue, replete with articles by some of today’s followers of this exceptional personage, many of them women. The early herald of this Western contingent of fearless and faithful female followers was Sister Nivedita, whose own 150 year Sesquicentennial is upon us this year. By her given family title, Margaret Noble, she was well-named even in English, being of noble bearing and qualities, both.
