About Reading Savitri (Set of 8 volumes)
In this set of eight volumes, the author intends to share the joy of reading Savitri while facilitating and deepening the reader’s engagement with the poem. The first three volumes cover Books I and II; the remaining ones each cover two Books of the poem, but all share the same methodical presentation, aimed at accessibility. The exploration of each canto begins and ends with explanatory remarks to orient the reader in the progress of the poem. Selected short passages from Savitri, drawn from just a few pages, are followed by the author’s explanatory paraphrase and commentary. Included in the first volume is a historical context for understanding the legend of Savitri and Satyavan and Sri Aurobindo’s symbolic treatment of that legend as a revelatory epic encompassing the experiences and realisations of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Glossaries pertinent to each volume are a valuable aid for the reader. The commentary continues through these eight consecutive volumes in the same comprehensive manner, addressing all twelve Books of Savitri.
