 HERE-NOW4U :Reddy, Ananda :Savitri (1) - The Infinite Adventure
It was in the beginning of this century that, while at Baroda, Sri Aurobindo, inspired by the story of Savitri from the Mahabharata, had attempted to give it a new form and instil into it new consciousness.
Like his other major works that appeared in the journal Arya, Savitri was "not regarded by me as a poem to be written and finished, but as a field of experimentation to see how far poetry could he written from one's yogic consciousness and how that could he made creative," wrote Sri Aurobindo.
Indeed, to delve into the Mantric lines of Savitri, to meditate upon the never ending "Sights' sound-waves breaking from the soul's great deeps" would itself be the best way to expand our consciousness and to bathe in the soft blue and golden consciousness of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
