The Master as I Saw Him: Being pages of the life of the Swami Vivekananda is a 1910 book written bySister Nivedita.[1] The book covers Nivedita's experiences withSwami Vivekananda, whom she met inLondon during November 1895. The book was simultaneously published from England and India,[2] andThe Master as I Saw Him is now considered to be a classic text.[3][4]
In his bookIndian Traffic, Parama Roy noted that the book differed from other biographies of Vivekananda in that it "[touched] upon the agonistic, conflictual nature of the guru-disciple relationship" and showed "reticence about his corporeality".[5]
