Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol spans more than 900 pages and covers the gamut of human life and aspiration, the meaning of existence and the evolutionary development of consciousness. Sri M.P. Pandit has systematically gone verse by verse through this epic and highlighted the sense and opened the meaning to us with his brief commentary or meditation on the themes thus revealed. Sri Pandit was secretary to the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. He wrote and lectured extensively on Sri Aurobindo’s yoga and the Mother’s transformational work. The current volume X is the final volume in the series, and covers Book X, canto IV, Book XI and Book XII. The volume also includes a line index to Savitri to aid the seeker in identifying the source of virtually any passage in the text. The index contains the first portion of all 23,803 lines in Savitri making it an invaluable tool for anyone studying the text

This book summarises the author s much more detailed commentary on Sri Aurobindo s epic poem Savitri published in his ten-volume Readings in Savitri. In a seamless narrative that encapsulates each canto of all the twelve books of the epic, the author explains the significance of Aswapathy s yoga undertaken to acquire self-knowledge, world-knowledge, and god-knowledge, the descent of the Divine Grace in the form of Savitri, her meeting with Satyavan and eventual confrontation with Death, and her final victory that wins immortality for man.

Since 1980, Shraddhavan has been teaching English in Auroville through close readings of Sri Aurobindo’s revelatory epic Savitri: a legend and a symbol. In August 1998 these classes were resumed at Savitri Bhavan, with a growing number of students, including young Tamil teacher-trainees from the Arul Vazhi School located in Promesse, Auroville. These classes were given the name ‘The English of Savitri’ and they concluded in May of 2009 as this group reached the end of the poem. This book is based on the transcripts of a new series of classes given by Shraddhavan between August 2009 and October 2010, which have been edited for conciseness and clarity, while aiming to preserve some of the informal atmosphere of the course. Edited transcripts of these classes began to be published serially in the Bhavan’s journal of Study Notes on Savitri, ‘Invocation’, from issue 32 onwards, since it was felt that they may be of interest to a wider audiance. They are now being published in book form in several volumes by Yukta Prakashan publishers of Vadodara. This suggested the idea of collecting the original English articles into a book form as well. This is the first such volume, covering all the five cantos of Book One of the poem, ‘The Book of Beginnings’.

Almost all of the essays collected in this volume were written for and first published as monthly instalments in Next Future, the e-journal of the Sri Aurobindo Society Pondicherry. The 47 instalments ended with the passing of Dr. Nadkarni in September 2007, and cover Savitri Book by Book, Canto by Canto, from the beginning up to the climactic point in the middle of Book Eleven, where Savitri is offered four boons of merger with the Supreme, and asks instead for the Supreme Peace, Oneness, Energy and Bliss ‘for Earth and Men’. Dr. Nadkarni has written other essays on Savitri as well as giving many other talks, but this collection represents a masterly ‘Introduction’ (as he modestly called it) to the revelatory poem which he loved so much and understood so well. It has been compiled and published at the request of his family, and we feel sure that it will be welcomed by Savitri readers and students all over the world, and to a certain extent make up for the great loss that his many admirers experienced when he passed away in September 2007 at the age of 74.

Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his "main work" and out of his precious time allotted two and a half hours every day for its composition. This was in the late 1940s when the tempo of the work had speeded up considerably. In fact he was otherwise engaged with it almost for fifty years though with some long gaps in between. Today we have a poem written in pentametric blank verse form running roughly into twenty-four thousand lines. Divided in twelve Books, as goes the tradition for a western epic, it has forty-eight Cantos and an Epilogue. Part I consisting of the first twenty-four Cantos was published in September 1950, ten-twelve weeks before the Poet's passing away; Part II and Part III as a single volume appeared in another six months of this, in May 1951. These two volumes are roughly equal in length: respectively, number of lines are 11674 and 12137; number of sentences, 2731 and 3040; Sections 1.1 - 92.15 and 93.1 - 159.6.Sri Aurobindo worked upon Savitri again and again until he was satisfied with the kind of poetic-literary perfection that has to be there, that yogically it could become the Word of Truth-Beauty-Joy in the expression of the Spirit's artistic realisations. We have an early letter in which he says, "I used Savitri as a means of ascension." It was experimentation, experimentation to see how far poetry could be written from a higher yogic-æsthetic consciousness, how that could be made creatively dynamic. It is also a record of spiritual achievements. The birth of Savitri was in the tapas-shakti of its creator. Of course, "ascension" is to be understood as climbing of common speech to transcendental speedn.For an epic there may be a story or there may not be any, there may be events and physical happenings, or there may be just episodes strewn together. An epic can be intensely subjective and can encompass in its fold the destiny of men and nations and the world. It is always meant for ripe and equipped souls ready to step into days that have left the things of the night far behind. In one of the talks with his disciples Sri Aurobindo mentioned that for an epic one requires the power of architectural construction. That is what we have in Savitri, a Shrine of Perfection housing the God of Love. One remarkable thing about this Shrine is, not only do men of wisdom and thoughtfulness visit it to offer worship to the residing deity; high gods also long to go there, at this abode lit by innumerable suns. To appreciate it, to enter into its spirit what is needed on our part are a supple quick intuitive perception and wideness of consciousness. To enter into Savitri is also to live in the presence of its creator.Many are its splendours, countless indeed, like the stars in the sky of its poetry. We may use a most powerful telescope built on the top of a mountain or put a Hubble in outer space to look into the universe which is an unbounded finite. Galaxies after galaxies speed beyond our keenest comprehension, as if to reach some mysterious Beyond glimpsed at the far edge, but of which we have no knowledge. Suddenly, in that process, we become one with the sky. Astonishment disappears and what remains is a luminous perception ever progressing towards some unseizable unspeakable realisable Unknown. In an early letter written in 1932 when Savitri had hardly existed in the form it took later, Sri Aurobindo speaks of the nature of its poetry and particularly its rhythm-structure. The letter was written to Arjava, a name gaiven by him to his mathematician-philosopher, and a poet disciple from Cambridge, JA Chadwick. "Savitri is blank verse without enjambment (except rarely) - each line a thing by itself and arranged in paragraphs of one, two, three, four, five lines (rarely a longer series), in an attempt to catch something of the Upanishadic and Kalidasian movement, so far as that is a possibility in English. You can't take that as a model - it is too difficult a rhythm-structure to be a model."

Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his "main work" and out of his precious time allotted every day two and a half hours for its composition. This was in the late forties when the tempo of work had speeded up considerably. In fact he was otherwise engaged with it almost for fifty years though with some long gaps in between. Today we have a poem written in pentametric blank verse form running almost to twenty-four thousand lines. Divided into twelve Books as is the tradition for an epic, it has forty-eight Cantos and an Epilogue. Part I consisting of the first twenty-four Cantos was published about twelve weeks before Sri Aurobindo's passing away, in September 1950; Part II and Part III as a single volume appeared in May 1951.It is significant to note that Sri Aurobindo regarded Savitri as his main work. It does not mean that he took time off from his spiritual pre-possession simply for the purposes of a happy literary pursuit. Rather it was his constant companion in the task of realisation and establishment of the dynamic Truth in this creation. He worked upon it again and again until the kind of yogic perfection he wanted was achieved in it, that it could also become a means to achieve that perfection even in a literary endeavour. We have an early letter of Sri Aurobindo to this effect: "I used Savitri as a means of ascension. I began with it on a certain mental level, each time I could reach a higher level I rewrote from that level.... In fact Savitri has not been regarded by me as a poem to be written and finished, but as a field of experimentation to see how far poetry could be written from one's own yogic consciousness and how that could be made creative." In another letter he writes: "Savitri is the record of a seeing." The birth and growth of Savitri as a "flamechild" is therefore a Yogi's spiritual autobiography. Its birth is in the Tapas-Shakti of one who is committed to discover the Word that can transform the lot of our mortality and its growth is in the action that can bring felicitous prosperity to it. Therefore Savitri is also named the Sun-Word or the Daughter of Infinity.To describe Savitri we may very well apply the epithets Vyasa used for characterising Aswapati's daughter Savitri. She is a radiant daughter, kanya tejasvini, she is a damsel of heaven, devalcanya, she is heavenly and radiant in form, devarupini; she is Goddess Fortune and one who brings the wealth of auspicious happiness, is beautiful and charming, and is also an adept in the Yoga of Meditation, dhyanayogaparayana, thus equipped to accomplish the purpose for which she has taken this mortal birth in the world of men.In the Mother's words Savitri is the "supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision."4 Its subject is universal and its revelation is prophetic. About this prophetic character she speaks elsewhere as follows: "That marvellous prophetic poem... shall be humanity's guide towards its future realisation." A divine fulfilment in this long and difficult evolutionary process is its theme and the assertion is that it can bring even to this existence what it confirmatively states. Therefore Savitri becomes a Yogic Word which always has the power to affirm in life the transcendental Truth it proclaims.The more we plunge into the tranquil-emerald of Savitri's ocean the more we discover its richnesses of truth, light, beauty, joy, sweetness, harmony, strength, perfection. Even when one reads Savitri on a mental level it can open out for us prospects of lustrous spiritual realisations; it can lead us to "understand deeper things". Though Savitri is a text-book of the Yoga of Physical Transformation and continually needs the author's "knowledge and experience for understanding it," its esotericism in some respect can yet be grasped if we read it with a silent mind.
