About Savitri: Its Profound and Magnificent Significance
Comprised of transcribed talks originally delivered in 2004 and 2005, this volume in a series on Savitri by the author covers the four cantos of Book Four. Canto One describes Savitri’s birth and childhood, fulfilling the Divine Mother’s promise to Aswapati that a soul will take birth to “change Fate by her unchanging will”. Her birth is symbolically portrayed as the cycle of Nature’s seasons. Canto Two describes Savitri as the embodiment of the Vedic Agni and traces her education in all the arts and inner disciplines. In the third canto, Savitri sets out in search of her life partner, symbolically representing the soul’s timeless quest to embody the earth’s aspiration for the Divine. In Canto Four, “The Quest”, Savitri travels through the world’s landscapes, guided by hidden godheads, as she prepares herself for her destined mission, her divine work.
