Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his "main work" and during the last couple of years of his life allotted out of his precious time every day two and a half hours for its composition. But it did 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. In a letter he writes: "Savitri is the record of a seeing." The birth and growth of Savitri as a "flame-child" is therefore a Yogi's spiritual autobiography. Its birth is in the Tapas-Shakti and in it is the discovery of the Word that can transform the lot of our mortality.To describe Savitri we may very well apply the epithets Vyasa used for characterising Aswapati's daughter Savitri. She is a radiant daughter, kanyā tejasvinī, she is a damsel of heaven, dévakanyā, she is heavenly and radiant in form, devarūpīni; she is Goddess Fortune and one who brings the wealth of auspicious happiness, equipped to accomplish the purpose for which she has taken this mortal birth in the world of men. Such is Savitri the Epic too. In one of the talks with his disciples Sri Aurobindo mention that for "an epic one requires the power of architectural construction" and it is precisely that what we have in Savitri. To enter into Savitri is to live in the presence of its creator.Many are its splendours, countless indeed like the stars in the sky. We could use a most powerful telescope to look at them but in the process might suddenly become one with the sky. Astonishment would be gone, and also the nightly sky, and ultimately what would remain would only be the luminous wisdom ever in progress towards the interminable Unknown that is infinity-bound. That is what Savitri gives to us.Sri Aurobindo left his body in December 1950 but for ever he left behind his consciousness in Savitri. Through it we can get directly in touch with him. Rich in its spiritual contents and nuances the poem has every scope to winningly describe the prospects of a transformed life upon the earth.Let us briefly mention about its poetry that, it is not only image and symbol, but is also sound and silence; if there is sight's sound, there is also sound's sight. And when le Musicien de Silence becomes one with le Musicien de Son we have an unsurpassable marvel. Listen to Ezra Pound: "When we know more of overtones we shall see that the tempo of every masterpiece is absolute, and is exactly set by some further law of rhythmic accord. Whence it should be possible to show that any given rhythm implies about it a complete musical form, perfect, complete. Ergo, the rhythm set in a line of poetry connects its symphony, which, had we a little more skill, we could score for orchestra."If such is the majesty and glory of Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, it has to be there in its seed form in the original text that has lent itself to this greatness and grandeur. The ancient tale of Savitri narrated by Vyasa, as is present in the body of the Mahabharata, justifies itself to be worthy of it, to be precious enough to bear the charge of full spirituality in its Word. The Savitri-creation by Vyasa is one such thematic and poetic magnificence but more importantly it is the vision and work of an accomplished Rishi though yet he in the "morning of his genius". There are many aspects of the richly occult-spiritual kind, and these have remained eternally breathing even after more than five thousand years.The contents of this booklet had first appeared in a series of instalments during 1988-89 in Mother India, a monthly review of culture, published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. While the first edition appeared in 1995 the second followed it just within a year of this. It has been now out of print for some time and Savitri Foundation is glad to take up this significant monograph in the series of its publications related to Savitri.
Download or read book Vyasa Katha written by Nityananda Misra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all read Aesop's fables, Jataka tales, and the Panchatantra or Hitopadesha stories. But what about the fables from the Mahabharata? We know about the human characters, but do we know about the clever jackal, the hypocrite swan, the smart mouse, the evil cat, the lazy camel, the arrogant tree, the faithful parrot or the astonishing mongoose in Vyasa's great epic? Vyasa-Katha presents fifty-one fables from the Mahabharata. These fascinating and instructive fables are a treasure-trove of practical and political wisdom, moral values, universal truths and philosophy. Animals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects, trees, rivers, directions, life forces, death and time intriguingly teach ancient Indian wisdom. With vivid descriptions and colourful expressions, the fables exemplify the advanced art of storytelling in ancient India. Author Nityananda Misra contextualises the fables and presents a faithful and unabridged translation. Carrying insights from Nilakantha's commentary and numerous Indian texts, with a beautiful collection of twenty-four illustrations, this is a must-read for children and adults alike.

Download or read book Selected Poems written by Paul Verlaine and published by Oxford Paperbacks. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Verlaine, possessed by the madnesses of love, brimming over with desires and prayers, the rebel railing against the complacent platitudes of society, of love, of language'. Jean Rousselot Verlaine ranks alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud as one of the most outstanding poets of late nineteenth-century France whose work is associated with the early Symbolists, the Decadents, and the Parnassiens. Remarkable not only for his delicacy and exquisitely crafted verse, Verlaine is also the poet of strong emotions and appetites, with an unrivalled gift for the sheer music of poetry, and an inventive approach to its technique. This bilingual edition provides the most comprehensive selection of his poetry yet, offering some 170 poems in lively and fresh translations and providing a lucid introduction which illuminates Verlaine's poetic form within the context of French Impressionism and the poetry of sensation.

Download or read book VARN A VIDY written by Sinu Joseph and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did women in ancient Bh?rat recite the Veda-s, perform agnihotra and wear the yajñopav?ta? Who were R?s?ika-s, Brahmav?dini-s and Yogin?’s, and how did they attain that state? Why are the rules of religious practices similar for women and the ??dra var?a? Can women and the ??dra var?a officiate as temple arcaka-s, and how would this impact them and the temple? Var?a Vidy? provides answers to all those who wish to know the science behind the dharma?a?stra rules for women and the ??dra var?a. Going beyond the sociological understanding of var?a based on j?ti-gu?a-karma, this book takes a deep dive into the biological basis of var?a dharma to answer questions about women and the ??dra var?a, especially in the context of religious practices. More than 100 sa?sk?tam verses from smr?ti-s (Manu, Y?jñavalkya, Par??ara, etc.), the Bhagvad G?t?, ?r?mad Bh?gavatam, Upanis?ad-s and Tantra texts have been covered in this work, revealing their subtle meaning. Several published studies and modern scientific theories have also been included to ease the understanding of the present generation. The book not only answers burning questions of the present time but also explains the science behind the spiritual path prescribed for women and the ??dra var?a. In the process of decoding the rules for women and the ??dra var?a, the science of var?a dharma itself stands revealed as an unintended consequence.
