Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former teacher of English literature at university and post-graduate levels, the author of this critical study presents several important aspects of Sri Aurobindo s spiritual poetry in his epic Savitri. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In each of the volumes of Inspiration from Savitri one can be lifted to heights above mortal mind, to planes of beauty, truth and delight no previous work of literature or inspired poetry has been able to achieve. Sri Aurobindo, the Seer-Poet has created an epic so vast that it awaits the 'fit' reader whose soul is open to mantric poetry. In this present volume anothers, still works in progress, I have aspired to share my joy in the immersion of these worlds of transcendent bliss.One is thrilled at the innumerable ways Sri Aurobindo uses words and has enriched the English language, raising it to new and greater heights. There are so many examples one can choose. To mention just one, do look at the word 'Bloom' and exult in the magic of his poetic genius. For this reason and others I have included all the definitions for each word whether it be used as a noun, verb or adjective, compound word, etc. In fact, Sri Aurobindo may use the same word many times in Savitri, each time with a different meaning. Though I have read Savitri cover to cover many times in twelve years of compiling the Lexicon of An Infinite Mind, a 'Dictionary of Words and Terms in Savitri, new understandings and glimpses of the beauty of Nature and her ultimate fulfilment through the descent of the Supramental in all its power and vastness, carrying the Truth-Coonsciousness to earth and men, have through the largesse of the supreme Grace, opened much to me and continue to open more as I read Savitri again and again. The further evolution of beauty in Nature's trees and flowers, the abundance of her life-giving gifts of fruits and grains and herbs and so much more to come when the 'Life Divine' is fully manifested on earth will be evident to all in the next phase of the evolution. I hope the reader of this volume will be inspired by the quotations on animals and birds and flowers, for through the genius and brilliance of Sri Aurobindo's poetry the face of Nature is shown to usthrough the highest and most intensely beautiful lines in all their glory and plenitude. Here is only one passage of the hundreds quoted, a passage of such sweetness (I am told that sweetness is Sri Aurobindo's favorite word as it was that of Shakespeare as well), that it inspires us to aspire with all our consciousness to help the earth recover from the devastation wrought by man and assist in itsreturn to the manifestion of divine and unparalled beauty and diversity. The life of the enchanted globe became A storm of sweetness and of light and song, A revel of colour and of ecstasy, A hymn of rays, a litany of cries: A strain of choral priestly music sang And, swung on the swaying censer of the trees, A sacrifice of perfume filled the hours. --93.30-- Asocas burned in crimson spots of flame, Pure like the breath of an unstained desire White jasmines haunted the enamoured air, Pale mango-blossoms fed the liquid voice Of the love-maddened coil, and the brown bee Muttered in fragrance mid the honey-buds. --93.31-- The sunlight was a great god's golden smile. --93.32-- All Nature was at beauty's festival. --93.33--"
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 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 The Essential Aurobindo written by Sri Aurobindo and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who wrote the Gospel of John? The author identifies himself only as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," and Christian tradition tells us that this disciple was the apostle John. However, during the past century, scholars have increasingly come to doubt that attribution. In 1902, Rudolf Steiner wrote that the author of the Gospel of John was in fact Lazarus. Steiner's position stemmed from his insight that Lazarus's encounter with death involved far more than people realized--an initiation into higher spiritual realities that uniquely qualified him to write this gospel. Edward Smith takes up this argument and shows that subsequent research has tended to favor Lazarus for reasons grounded in John's Gospel itself. More important, Smith shows that subsequent discoveries at Nag Hammadi and Mar Saba corroborate Steiner's reasoning about the nature of the raising of Lazarus, pointing to Lazarus as "the rich young ruler" of Mark's Gospel.

Download or read book Inspiration from Savitri Love and Light written by Sri Aurobindo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series of books , Inspiration from Savitri, is a compilation of selected passages from Savitri, themes that I have chosen because they resonate most strongly within me. This method of approach enables one to read only a few lines at a time, meditate on them and allow their mantric force to enter into the cavern of the soul where they will illumine and transmit to the inner being and make eventually understandable to the mind something of the essence of Overhead poetry that Sri Aurobindo has brought down to earth. One could easily have chosen other themes as well, as the possibilities are endless in this epic of Divine Love conquering death and the establishment of a divine life on earth.People often tell me that Savitri is 'too difficult' or 'closed' to them. To give a facile suggestion to 'Go Deeper' or to say that Savitri has been written from planes above the mind and is therefore impossible for the mind to understand, does nothing to encourage anyone to begin this marvellous 'adventure of consciousness and joy'. *The universal themes I have selected will hopefully capture the interest of all who would like to begin reading Savitri but fear it is too daunting. As an example, the book on Nature with quotations about animals, insects, flowers, etc. with all the passages in Savitri that contain these words, can inspire many to read further.Passages are often duplicated because they contain more than one key word. For me this is an additional enrichment of the spirit leading to a deeper understanding within, a pouring into the soul of a vaster breath of beauty, power and plenitude descending from the Overhead planes, something rarely seen and unknown until now in its fullness, in all the world's poetry.The book opens with the themes of Love and Light, and proceeds alphabetically thereafter. Sri Aurobindo, has expanded the English language as no one has done since Shakespeare, coined new words, employed words in unique and far wider senses, utilized and often anglicised foreign terms and widened the language by conveying visions and experiences that are beyond words. There are words in Savitri that may be perceived as “common” yet are employed by Sri Aurobindo in unique ways. Often a number of definitions for a particular word are given, leaving it to the reader to decide the applicable meaning in the context of the line. In the late 1990's my wife Mary Helen and I were inspired to compile a dictionary of words and terms in Savitri. This work has now been published by the Savitri Foundation asLexicon of An Infinite Mind, a Dictionary of Words and Terms in Savitri. I have includedthe applicable applicable words from this volume, taken from the Lexicon, as an appendix for interested readers.It is my prayer that this simple approach may inspire many who formerly found Savitri too complex and forbidding to enter into it through these elevating and life-changing themes. In the passages quoted, as in all of Savitri, one will find a richness of language and the magnificence of Sri Aurobindo's poetic genius in lines that will live for all time in the soul of humanity, helping it to grow into the Light and the Life Divine.
