Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his "main work" and out of his precious time allotted every day two and a half hours for its composition. This was in the late forties when the tempo of work had speeded up considerably. In fact he was otherwise engaged with it almost for fifty years though with some long gaps in between. Today we have a poem written in pentametric blank verse form running almost to twenty-four thousand lines. Divided into twelve Books as is the tradition for an epic, it has forty-eight Cantos and an Epilogue. Part I consisting of the first twenty-four Cantos was published about twelve weeks before Sri Aurobindo's passing away, in September 1950; Part II and Part III as a single volume appeared in May 1951.It is significant to note that Sri Aurobindo regarded Savitri as his main work. It does not mean that he took time off from his spiritual pre-possession simply for the purposes of a happy literary pursuit. Rather it was his constant companion in the task of realisation and establishment of the dynamic Truth in this creation. He worked upon it again and again until the kind of yogic perfection he wanted was achieved in it, that it could also become a means to achieve that perfection even in a literary endeavour. We have an early letter of Sri Aurobindo to this effect: "I used Savitri as a means of ascension. I began with it on a certain mental level, each time I could reach a higher level I rewrote from that level.... In fact 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." In another letter he writes: "Savitri is the record of a seeing." The birth and growth of Savitri as a "flamechild" is therefore a Yogi's spiritual autobiography. Its birth is in the Tapas-Shakti of one who is committed to discover the Word that can transform the lot of our mortality and its growth is in the action that can bring felicitous prosperity to it. Therefore Savitri is also named the Sun-Word or the Daughter of Infinity.To describe Savitri we may very well apply the epithets Vyasa used for characterising Aswapati's daughter Savitri. She is a radiant daughter, kanya tejasvini, she is a damsel of heaven, devalcanya, she is heavenly and radiant in form, devarupini; she is Goddess Fortune and one who brings the wealth of auspicious happiness, is beautiful and charming, and is also an adept in the Yoga of Meditation, dhyanayogaparayana, thus equipped to accomplish the purpose for which she has taken this mortal birth in the world of men.In the Mother's words Savitri is the "supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision."4 Its subject is universal and its revelation is prophetic. About this prophetic character she speaks elsewhere as follows: "That marvellous prophetic poem... shall be humanity's guide towards its future realisation." A divine fulfilment in this long and difficult evolutionary process is its theme and the assertion is that it can bring even to this existence what it confirmatively states. Therefore Savitri becomes a Yogic Word which always has the power to affirm in life the transcendental Truth it proclaims.The more we plunge into the tranquil-emerald of Savitri's ocean the more we discover its richnesses of truth, light, beauty, joy, sweetness, harmony, strength, perfection. Even when one reads Savitri on a mental level it can open out for us prospects of lustrous spiritual realisations; it can lead us to "understand deeper things". Though Savitri is a text-book of the Yoga of Physical Transformation and continually needs the author's "knowledge and experience for understanding it," its esotericism in some respect can yet be grasped if we read it with a silent mind.

Book excerpt: The Symbol Dawn, the opening Canto of Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri, has been the subject matter of many studies, and many studies will continue to appear, will continue to flourish and develop. There have been explanations and theses and dissertations written on it, any number of them, elucidations, talks, paintings, musical, choreographical presentations and representations, there will be sculptures and multi-media expositions based on it. The explorative dimensions are countless. The richness, the universality of it is inexhaustible and the creative spirit can reach intense depths or broadest widenesses or lofty heights. In fact these can be the means for endless realisations which Savitri holds for it. "It is a marvellous work, magnificent and of an incomparable perfection." This is what the Mother said about Savitri, Savitri whose "revelation is prophetic". What she said is seen in its fullness in the very first Canto itself, a Canto which got crystallised after some two dozen plus definitive drafts. Its inspiration is from another new realm of poetry: It is Overhead Poetry that brings to us the utterance of the dynamic and beauteous spirit itself.Sri Aurobindo's own early statement about Savitri is: "it is only an attempt to render into poetry a symbol of things occult and spiritual." Perhaps this symbol, of things occult and spiritual, is heaviest and profoundest in The Symbol Dawn, the dawn symbolising the appearance of a new and marvellous creation here on earth, in the mortal world. Our endeavour is to go essentially by the original text itself and see to what extent one can read those multiple layers of symbolism that are present in this rosy-fingered Dawn.

Download or read book Savitri In-Between written by Sri Aurobindo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savitri is well-known as the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's spiritual vision. In it, lofty Himalayan grandeur and plunging Pacific depths are given in soul-stirring poetry. Quotations are taken from these heights and depths, treatises are devoted to them, and scholars as well as lay readers pause at these powerful passages. The poet's afflatus continues in-between. Like the meadows at the foothills of the Himalayas and the beaches at the edges of the Pacific, metaphors of Kalidasan beauty and connections of windowed insight complete the poetic landscape. "Savitri In-Between" is a collection of such lines. Do not read this collection to get the essence of Savitri or its story-line or its message or its most powerful expression. For that, read all of Savitri or one of the many summaries of it. What you will find here are simply all the lines that best show the meticulous poetic artistry in-between Savitri. To illustrate the method of selection, consider this powerful passage from one of the summits of Savitri. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Alone Has called out of the Silence his mute Force Where she lay in the featureless and formless hush Guarding from Time by her immobile sleep The ineffable puissance of his solitude. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Alone Has entered with his silence into space: He has fashioned these countless persons of one self; He lives in all, who lived in his Vast alone; Space is himself and Time is only he. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Immune, One who is in us as our secret self, Our mask of imperfection he has assumed, He has made this tenement of flesh his own, His image in the human measure cast That to his divine measure we might rise; Then in a figure of divinity The Maker shall recast us and impose A plan of godhead on the mortal's mould Lifting our finite minds to his infinite, Touching the moment with eternity. This transfiguration is earth's due to heaven: A mutual debt binds man to the Supreme: His nature we must put on as he put ours; We are sons of God and must be even as he: His human portion, we must grow divine. Our life is a paradox with God for key. This stunning passage obviously is not of an "in-between" nature and hence it is not included as a block in the lines compiled in this collection. Yet, in the middle of this passage is a revealing metaphor: He has made this tenement of flesh his own, which does belong to this collection, and is included. While reading Savitri, it is easy to overlook the in-between lines because one gets enraptured by the summits. Yet there is poetic beauty everywhere and this collection invites you to enter into Savitri through a mezzanine doorway. All quotations are from the First Edition of Savitri republished by Savitri Foundation on 29 March 2012.
