Download or read book Inspiration from Savitri Colours and Gems written by Sri Aurobindo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo's lines and passages on colours and gems (and their colours) are filled with light and beauty, occasionally showing us the nether side of life and it's manifestation as well in the grey and black shades. We also receive many valuable insights into colours in his Letters on Yoga, Vol. 23, and though not all are applicable to the passages quoted in Savitri since he is replying to things seen in vision, many are most illuminating and significant to a deeper understanding of Savitri. This, the sixth volume in the series 'Inspiration from Savitri' invites us to study the lines and passages of colours and gems and enter further into realms of beauty and delight, uplifting us to worlds above in the soaring of our souls. All who are attracted to lights or see them will be moved by the magnificence, power and meaning with which Sri Aurobindo blesses us. *** Sri Aurobindo on Colour and Light Colour and light are always close to each other - colour being more indicative, light more dynamic. Colour incandescent becomes light. As for the exact symbolism of colours, it is not always easy to define exactly, because it is not rigid and precise, but complex, the meaning varying with the field, the combinations, the character and shades of the colour, the play of forces. A certain kind of yellow, for instance, is supposed by many occultists to indicate the buddhi, the intellect, and it often has that sense, but occurring among a play of vital forces it could not always be so interpreted - that would be too rigid. Here all one can say is that the blue (the particular blue seen, not every blue) indicated the response to the Truth; the green - or this green - is very usually associated with Life and a generous emanation or action of forces - often of emotional life-force, and it is probably this that it would indicate here. There are no separate colours of the beings. There is a characteristic colour of mind, yellow; of the psychic, pink or pale rose; of the vital, purple; but these are colours corresponding to the main forces of mind, psychic, vital - they are not the colours of the beings. Also other colours can play, e.g. in the vital, green and deep red as well as purple and there are other colours for the hostile vital forces. The violet light is that of the Divine Compassion (karuna - Grace) - the white light is the light of the Mother (the Divine Consciousness) in which all others are contained and from which they can be manifested. Purple is the colour of vital power. "Red" depends on the character of the colour, for there are many reds - this may be the colour of the physical consciousness. Blue is the higher mind. Whitish blue is known as Sri Aurobindo's light or sometimes Sri Krishna's light. The meaning of blue light depends on the exact character of colour, its shade and nature. A whitish blue like moonlight is known as Krishna's light or Sri Aurobindo's light - light blue is often that of Illumined Mind - there is another deeper blue that is of the Higher Mind; another, near to purple, which is the light of a power in the vital. The pale whitish blue light is "Sri Aurobindo's Light" - it is the blue light modified by the white light of the Mother. The pale blue light is mine, the white light is the Mother's. Blue is the normal colour of the spiritual planes; moonlight indicates the spiritual mind and its light. There are different Krishna lights - pale diamond blue, lavender blue, deep blue etc. It depends on the plane in which it manifests.... There is one blue that is the higher mind, a deeper blue belongs to the mind - Krishna's light in the mind.... All blue is not Krishna's light.... Diamond blue, Krishna's light in the Overmind - lavender blue in intuitive mind. Blue is also the Radha's colour. Purple is the colour of vital power. "Red" depends on the character of the colour, for there are many reds - this may be the colour of the physical consciousness.

Download or read book The Radiant Daughter written by Aurobindo Ghosh and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savitri is the Consciousness of the Beyond with the incarnate soul's urge and claim for the realization of the spirit's verities in the life here. The divine Savitri takes human birth as Aswapati's daughter, comes as the Word of Realisation. In it is the twofold Yoga of the material opening to the spiritual as much as the spiritual entering into the material. Aswapati keeps the ground ready for the willed work to be undertaken, and to invoke the transcendental Power to take the mortal birth; it is she who will come as Savitri to carry out the divine Action. Her task is to win victory over Death. This is what we have in The Radiant Daughter which also proves to be a wonderful Record of Savitri's Yoga, the Yoga that had been done and the Yoga she would be doing. But Savitri is not just that; Savitri is another force of revelation carrying in it another dynamism. In it the past really is another country which has to be left behind: Savitri is a yogic force in action. That is what makes it a true biography presenting her life to the extent possible for us to see and possibly to live in.

Download or read book The Marwari Heritage written by D.K. Taknet and published by IntegralDMS. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early Vedic period, the Vaishyas, the oldest mercantile community of India, generated wealth for the nation through their remarkable efforts. Their Marwari offshoots were appointed by many rulers as ministers, advisors and diwans and were recognised as the first philanthropists in India. The Marwari Heritage takes the reader on a voyage of discovery of the Marwaris who migrated from Rajputana, Haryana, Malwa and its adjoining regions to other parts of India. They braved trials and tribulations in unchartered territories, supporting others of their community, never losing faith in their ability to succeed, and focused on their goal, they became the uncrowned kings, first of trade and business, and later of industry. They joined the freedom struggle with a true spirit of patriotism, philanthropy and active political involvement. Many courted imprisonment and even achieved martyrdom. Today, the roots of the Marwari community are deeply enmeshed in the social, cultural and economic fabric of India. Their innate psyche of giving back to society has seen them donate generously to education, empowerment of women and vocational training leading to employment. Shedding some traditions and retaining many, they have stepped into the modern age, achieving an enviable cultural mix. At the helm of most successful entrepreneurial enterprises, their focus on innovation and technological advancement has resulted in governments of several countries seeking their advice on economic growth. Of the many who have left an indelible mark on the history, socio-political and economic foundations of the country, this book is enriched with rich cameos of some of these ‘greats’ and the reader derives insights into numerous newly discovered and hitherto unrecorded facts. The younger generation of Marwaris continue to dream big and build on the foundations their forefathers planted. They continue to grow from strength to strength, marching towards new horizons. The plethora of welfare schemes and trusts responsible for development of the nation’s needy continue to be monitored with precision. Meticulously researched over five years and richly illustrated with over 100 rare, coloured photographs, paintings, and 600 black and white photographs, illustrations and rare documents published for the first time, readers have much to feast their eyes on. This pictorial book also serves as an inspiration to any and everyone who dares to dream and reach for the skies.
Download or read book The Symbol Dawn written by R. Y. Deshpande and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symbol Dawn, the opening Canto of Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri, has been the subject matter of many studies, and many studies will continue to appear, will continue to flourish and develop. There have been explanations and theses and dissertations written on it, any number of them, elucidations, talks, paintings, musical, choreographical presentations and representations, there will be sculptures and multi-media expositions based on it. The explorative dimensions are countless. The richness, the universality of it is inexhaustible and the creative spirit can reach intense depths or broadest widenesses or lofty heights. In fact these can be the means for endless realisations which Savitri holds for it. "It is a marvellous work, magnificent and of an incomparable perfection." This is what the Mother said about Savitri, Savitri whose "revelation is prophetic". What she said is seen in its fullness in the very first Canto itself, a Canto which got crystallised after some two dozen plus definitive drafts. Its inspiration is from another new realm of poetry: It is Overhead Poetry that brings to us the utterance of the dynamic and beauteous spirit itself.Sri Aurobindo's own early statement about Savitri is: "it is only an attempt to render into poetry a symbol of things occult and spiritual." Perhaps this symbol, of things occult and spiritual, is heaviest and profoundest in The Symbol Dawn, the dawn symbolising the appearance of a new and marvellous creation here on earth, in the mortal world. Our endeavour is to go essentially by the original text itself and see to what extent one can read those multiple layers of symbolism that are present in this rosy-fingered Dawn.

But this legend is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. Satyavan is the soul carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended into the grip of death and ignorance; Savitri is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes down and is born to save; Aswapati, the Lord of the Horse, her human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to the immortal planes; Dyumatsena, Lord of the Shining Hosts, father of Satyavan, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness and immortal life. Sri Aurobindo
