The whole poem first appeared in book-form in two
parts in 1950 and 1951. Sri Aurobindo's letters written to his disciples on
various aspects of the poem are now part of the book. This modern epic written
in a modern language is also a modern day scripture. It recounts the saga of
human victory over ignorance and conquest of death. Painstakingly composed in a
rhythmic meter, each line of the poem is suffused with power of Mantra.
Many students and disciples of Sri Aurobindo and The
Mother draw inspiration from Savitri for their spiritual growth.
Many even find the answers to their doubts and questions by opening the book at
random. On special occasions, continuous recitation of Savitri on
a relay basis is also quite common in the Centers where the works and yoga
teachings of The Mother and Sri
Aurobindo are studied and practiced. Regular camps and conclaves are
also organized at different places in the world to study the poem and
contemplate over its occult force.
