Download or read book Savitri with Accents the Book of Yoga written by Sri Aurobindo and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present here the text of the First Edition of Savitri with accent-marks with the font in red colour. The scansion of the lines could be left to the individual's perception; but we should mention that we are not considering half-accents which on occasions can fall on vowels in the rhythmic flow of the lines. It must also be noted that some accents could change from context to context, and from person to person. The subjective element in the rhythm must be recognised while reading or reciting poetry, principally the poetry of the mystic-spiritual kind where both inner sound and silence count the most; add to that also significance-implication of the substance of the text.Let us take an example, from the Book of Yoga Canto 6, Nirvana and the Discovery of the All-Negating Absolute, towards the end. Here is the line that should be looked into carefully: "Beyond the self-born Word, the nude Idea". The complexity lies in putting accents on vowels in the compound "self-born", accents which can change the sense, the meaning, the significance. We could have both the vowels accented, none, or one of them accented. Thus "sélf-born Wórd" would mean the Word that had its birth in the self; the iambic rhythm would accept this with the last foot being an amphibrach which is not uncommon: Beyónd| the sélf|-born Wórd,| the núde| Idéa.| On the other hand, "self-bórn Wórd" conveys the sense of the Word having its birth in itself, swayambhu, the line reading as follows: Beyónd| the self-|bórn Wórd,| the núde| Idéa| which with a pyrrhic-spondee combination sounds a little jerky. Instead of fixing any one of these readings, rather leaving the statement vague, we can have "self-born Wórd" or "sélf-bórn Wórd". Thus the line has a certain naturalness in "Beyónd| the self-|born Wórd,| the núde| Idéa.|" Yet we cannot ignore the accents, particularly in "born". The last possibility is: "Beyónd| the sélf-|bórn Wórd,| the núde| Idéa.|" This could be the safest, natural because of natural accents on both; but it sounds rather loud and can be kept aside. But the last two leave the other issues unresolved. However, the natural rhythm would suggest the four-iamb and amphibrach scansion of the line: Beyónd| the sélf|-born Wórd,| the núde| Idéa.| In any case, it seems we cannot avoid our interpretation while reading, the accentuation carrying it with it. In terms of its contents our preference is for "self-bórn Wórd".We hope that the present attempt of bringing out the Savitri-text with accent-marks will prove rewarding to the lovers of poetry, and in particular of Savitri in its metrical power, its rhythm and melody, its undertones and overtones, its volume and pitch and timbre, its nada and laya and chhanda, they carrying the "seed-sounds of the eternal Word", they moving in the felicity of "rhythmic calm and joy"; possibly it would take us closer to the yogic source from which it originated.Savitri Foundation is glad to put in this pioneering effort towards metrical presentation of Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri. It is hoped that this will prove helpful in understanding and reading Savitri possibly in its intended sense and articulation.
Download or read book The English of Savitri written by Shraddhavan and published by Auro e-Books. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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’.

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 The Mother written by Georges Van Vrekhem and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-08 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their essential contribution to the present world, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are still mostly unknown outside the circles of their disciples and devotees. It is Georges Van Vrekhem's intention in this biography of the Mother to examine all available material about her life and to present it in an accessible and interesting way. He attempts to draw the full picture, including the often neglected but important last years of her life, and even of some reincarnations explicitly confirmed by the Mother herself.The Mother was born as Mirra Alfassa in Paris in 1878. She became an artist, married an artist, and participated in the vibrant life of the metropolis during the fin de siècle and early twentieth century. She became the Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1926. This book is a rigorous description of the incredible effort of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Their vision is an important perspective allowing for the understanding of what awaits humanity in the new millennium.
