9/12/2006 8:04 PM SAVITRI DEAR FRIENDS HERE WITH WE ARE STARTING A NEW THREAD ON SAVITRI. FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED TO HAVE AN APPROACH AND STUDY OF SAVITRI. IN THIS SECTION, EXCERPTS FROM SAVITRI, WITH ITS SPIRIT AND INTERPRETATION WILL BE LET FLOWN IN A SERIES. AS THE FIRST THREAD TODAY WE WILL BE UPLOADING INTRODUCTORY LINES.

9/12/2006 8:06 PM APPROACHAPPROACH Savitri is a mantra. It is the pictorization of Sri Aurobindo’s Sadhana and Vision, and therefore a lamp of guidance for all of us in the nescience as The Mother has made it clear by saying that “Savitri is the Supreme Revelation of Sri Aurobindo’s Vision”. Therefore we can conclude that we should read Savitri, to follow the path of Sadhana given to us by The Master and The Mother. When we conclude that we should read Savitri, many of the aspirants – including myself – find it very difficult to understand it. Even though The Mother said, never bother whether you understand Savitri, just go on reading it and this, itself is a Sadhana, aspirants put their endeavor to understand Savitri. I know some people who attempt to understand Savitri, in an intellectual way, like first reading it and then referring to a dictionary to understand the words and terms, and then conclude with some meaning. An amusing instance happened when a group of aspirants took this method of studying Savitri, individually, and then after their individual study they started discussing about it. They found that each of them had a different understanding! Each of the maintained their stand and argued that himself is correct. Then they ended up in consulting a senior sadhak and found that none of them were no where near to what actually Sri Aurobindo States!

Then what was the reason for such a fumble? Sri A B Purani could find the answer for this in his book “Savitri – An approach and a Study”. He says that Savitri is not just another poem, or an ordinary poem, neither an aesthetic creation by an intellectual mind. Savitri is a Mystic, Psychic, and a Spiritual poetry. Moreover the Symbols and Concepts used by Sri Aurobindo are completely unfamiliar with the recent trends in the English poetry. Therefore one has to acquire the ability and capacity to understand this high poetry and appreciate it. Therefore intellectual method of interpreting Savitri will never take you any nearer to the truth of the Savitri.

Therefore intellectual method of interpreting Savitri will never take you any nearer to the truth of the Savitri. It may give a very brief overview and you will never experience the Spiritual Vibrations, which Savitri renders in you unless you try to experience the same. Therefore let us conclude that the intellectual method is not the correct way to understand the Savitri. One needs to get into the spirit of the poem.

In such a case there is a need of a great endeavor to get into the Spirit of Savitri. You have to begin with very minute basics like understanding the basic tale of Satyavan and Savitri in Mahabharata, understanding the each and every minute Symbols used by Sri Aurobindo, and also some symbols and concepts from Vedic Literature. Therefore we will begin from the discussion of such basic elements before going o the actual part of the Savitri. Also that in the future part of the discussion, references ill be made such basic elements wherever they are necessary, it makes us to go through these basic elements mandatory.

9/13/2006 1:15 AM dear friend, Savitri can solve your problems? well what all i can say is yes and no! yes because, when you study savitri, you get closer to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. And our masters never let us to fail in any sort of challenges we would face, if we are faithful and dedicated to them. thats what savitri gives you - total faith and dedication to master. to explain why not, it is a bit tough for me. our need and demand from Savitri should only be to gain consciousness and get into the spirit of Savitri. nothing else.

9/13/2006 1:40 AM Really it is a wonderful thread..Only yesterday i started reading Savitri. I could understand only some few lines, i thought i need help in understanding the lines. Yesterday night, i had a dream "I was in the Ashram, after the Samadhi Dharsanam I was sitting with my parents in the corner of the Ashram..One of the Sadhak informed us that Aurobindo's room is opened and we can go there now. I at once ran to the room and prayed to Aurobindo, some force entered into my body and i felt a shake in my body and I fell backwards out of the shake in the body. Then my parents went and prayed." Really it was an amazing dream..As soon as i read Savitri, i had this dream where in Aurobindo came into me...
