Savitri: A Legend And A Symbol - A Talk by Shraddhavan

An Introductory Exploration of Sri Aurobindo’s Mantric Epic
“The importance of Savitri is immense. Its subject is universal. Its revelation is prophetic. The time spent in its atmosphere is not wasted.” - The Mother
Sri Aurobindo was a 20th century revolutionary, philosopher, poet, and yogi, whose insights have influenced thousands of seekers and opened new pathways for understanding the origins or Indian spirituality. Savitri is his master-work, a poem of 24,000 verses that he used as a “means of ascension”. “Savitri has not been regarded by me as a poem to be written and finished, but as a field of experimentation to see how far poetry could be written from one’s own Yogic consciousness and how that could be made creative.”
“She was a single being, yet all things;
The world was her spirit’s wide circumference,
The thoughts of others were her intimates,
Their feelings close to her universal heart,
Their bodies her many bodies kin to her;
She was no more herself but all the world…
Eternity looked out from her on time.”
