In the first section the author highlights the often-neglected subject of Sri Aurobindo as a poet of Nature. He points out how Sri Aurobindo s concept of Nature differs from that of other poets and then shows the workings of Nature in Inconscience, in Ignorance, and in the Transcendental plane as portrayed in Savitri. The second section deals with how Sri Aurobindo uses imagery, similes, and metaphors, while in the third section he explains Sri Aurobindo s new concept and vision of Death. The final section describes the treatment of science and evolution in Savitri as representative of Sri Aurobindo s embrace of all aspects of knowledge and thought in his integrated vision of life and spirit.
Download or read book Poetic Plays of Sri Aurobindo written by Bimal Narayan Thakur and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo was the reveler of the Life Divine and prophet of the great epic Savitri. Both the unsurpassed titles bear divine messages but for those who could read them. But his stage-worthy plays teach his philosophical ideas through entertainments. Perhaps he wrote the plays to teach integral philosophy of life to all beings. Present work entitled Poetic Plays of Sri Aurobindo is an exhaustive study of his five blank verse drama maintaining the essential elements of drama and dramaturgy from Oriental to Occidental. In his plays, we could enjoy the dramatic art of Shakespeare and Shaw, Bhasa and Kalidasa. Sri Aurobindo was the deliverer of the whole human life and hence, this book enlightens - - how to deliberate one's own self along with the all. - how to bring hormony in individual, social, national and universal life. - how to attain Universal brotherhood by revealing oneness with all other beings. - how to build children's characters, so that, they can live a manly life, reveal universal friendship and enjoy a life divine on earth.
Download or read book Savitri written by Sri Aurobindo and published by Lotus Press (WI). This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savitri is Sri Aurobindo's major poetic work, an epic in blank-verse of about 24,000 lines in which a tale from the Mahabharata becomes a symbol of the human soul's spiritual quest and destiny. The tale of Satyavan and Savitri , Sri Aurobindo noted, is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death . Sri Aurobindo has widened the original legend and turned it into a symbol in which the soul of man, represented by Satyavan, is delivered from the grip of death and ignorance through the love and power of the Divine Mother, incarnated upon earth as Savitri. Sri Aurobindo worked on this poem for more than thirty years. When a disciple asked why he kept rewriting it, he replied: That is very simple. I used Savitri as a means of ascension. I began it on a certain mental level, each time I could reach a higher level I rewrote it 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 consciousnes and how that could be made creative. The Mother considered Savitri to be the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision and called it that marvellous prophetic poem which ill be humanity's guide towards its future realisation. (The demy size edition includes letters of Sri Aurobindo on Savitri. The crown size edition has line numbers.) Contents: Savitri; Sri Aurobindo's letters on Savitri Subjects: Poetry, Philosophy, Yoga, Mysticism.

Download or read book Savitri The Golden Bridge the Wonderful Fire written by Mangesh V. Nadkarni and published by Auro e-Books. This book was released on with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Tagore s Chitra and Aurobindo s Savitri written by Ketki N. Pandya and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2004 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabindranath Tagore S Drama Chitra Is Aimed At Reminding Man That The Ultimate Truth Is To Be Found Not At The Physical Level But In The Steady Evolution Of The Self. The Illumination Of A Young Princess Mind Lies In The Recognition And Realization That It Is In Truth Alone That True Happiness Resides. Similarly Aurobindo S Epic Savitri Seeks To Narrate The Story Of A Young Princess Who Saves The Life Of Her Husband From Death To Suggest The Ultimate Liberation Of Man From Universal Death. Chitra And Savitri Are Upanishadic Works In The Sense That Their Principal Theme Is The Search For Vidya (Knowledge) That Liberates Man From Avidya (Ignorance), And That Their Main Stylistic Device Is The Conversation Between The Human And Divine Characters. Evolution Thus Becomes The Watchword Of Both Aurobindo And Tagore. The Awakening Of The Self Or Raising The Life And Existence To A Higher Level Of Consciousness Is One Of The Parallel Themes Observed In Chitra And Savitri. Further, The Integral Transformation Of Chitra And Savitri And Their Inner Intuitive Development Has A Much Wider Connotation To Mankind At Large. Chitra And Savitri Are Thus Established As Works Of Self-Discovery. Although There Are Fundamental Differences In Terms Of The Nature Of Chitra And Savitri S Awareness, There Is No Denying The Fact That These Legends From The Mahabharata Are Exquisite Examples Of The Female Aspect Of The Indian Women.
Download or read book A Study of Sri Aurobindo s Savitri in the light of The Bhagavad Gita written by Santosh Kumar P.V. and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of Sri Aurobindo's "Savitri" in the light of the Bhagavad Gita which was awarded the doctorate in English by the University of Calicut in 1996 is being now published on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo. The thesis was an attempt to establish the intimations of intimacy between Sri Aurobindo's epic poem "Savitri" and the Bhagavad Gita. The influence of the Gita on Sri Aurobindo is well known starting with his vision of Krishna at the Alipore jail and by his own statement that he was not only able to understand intellectually but also realize what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna. The cardinal teaching of Gita, "Vasudeva Sarvam iti" provided for him the bedrock of his philosophy in "Savitri". The spiritual revolution he envisioned in "Savitri" is that the universe is a manifestation of consciousness occurring in an integral process. Modern quantum physics is bearing many similarities with his ideas. Thus while "Savitri" is a symbol of struggle, redemption, and the incarnation of a divine mother who restores the Golden age, the Bhagavad Gita teaches the same call to the eternal avatar in each being and to the establishment of Sat-Chit-Ananda on the terrestrial plane.
