Savitri is seen as an embodiment of the Divine Grace

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Yes, Sri Aurobindo's vision of the "Religion of Man" (or "Religion of Humanity") is closely aligned with the spiritual essence described in his epic poem Savitri, which is sometimes referred to by his followers as the foundation for a future spiritual era. 
Sri Aurobindo's "Religion of Man"
Sri Aurobindo did not advocate for a new formal religion, with fixed creeds, cults, or churches, but rather a universal spirituality that all of humanity could embrace. He believed that: 
  • Spirituality is the core essence of human existence and progress.
  • The true "Religion of Man" involves an inner self-development to discover the Divine or the one Self within all beings.
  • It is a process of evolution of consciousness, leading humanity towards a higher, supramental consciousness and a "Life Divine" on Earth, transforming human nature into an expression of the Divine.
  • It goes beyond intellectual ideals or moral codes, focusing instead on a living truth and a new, transformed life.
  • India, with its rich spiritual heritage (Sanatan Dharma), is destined to be the leader in bringing this spiritual gift to the world, harmonizing all existing religions, philosophies, and sciences. 
Connection to "Savitri Era Religion"
The term "Savitri Era Religion" is not an official name given by Sri Aurobindo, but rather a descriptor used by his followers for the potential spiritual development that Savitri symbolizes. 
  • Savitri as a Symbol: Savitri is an epic poem that Sri Aurobindo described as "a legend and a symbol". It narrates the story of Savitri, a divine energy who descends to Earth to conquer Death and bring a new, higher consciousness to humanity.
  • Epic of the Future: The poem is considered an "epic of the future," embodying Sri Aurobindo's grand vision for man's divine destiny and the ultimate transformation of earthly life.
  • Embodiment of Grace: Savitri herself is seen as an embodiment of the Divine Grace necessary for this profound change in human nature. 

Therefore, the spiritual path outlined in Savitri is essentially the practical and symbolic representation of the "Religion of Man" in action—the path towards a divine life on Earth through the evolution of consciousness and the manifestation of the unveiled Divine in the world.
