About Savitri: Its Profound and Magnificent Significance (Volume One)
Originally the subject of two workshops held in 2000 and 2001, these transcribed talks cover Book I, Cantos I and II of Savitri. The first canto represents the evolutionary march of this creation described in poetry reflecting the subtlest of details. Canto II deals with the issues of death and life, the purpose of birth, and the evolution from birth to birth on the road to the discovery of the psychic being, that conscious entity that can lead man to the divine. The author has chosen highlights from each canto to underscore certain concepts, primarily the importance of finding the psychic being as the basis of the Integral Yoga. Extracts from Sri Aurobindo’s letters and the Mother’s conversations lend depth and insight to the text.
