All Life Is Yoga: Savitri: A Mantra for the Transformation of the World

by Sri Aurobindo, The (d.i. Mira Alfassa) Mother

Overview

“Savitri is the record of a seeing, of an experience which is not of the common kind and is often very far from what the general human mind sees and experiences. You must not expect appreciation or understanding from the general public or even from many at the first touch; as I have pointed out, there must be a new extension of consciousness and aesthesis to appreciate a new kind of mystic poetry.” (Sri Aurobindo)

The Mother considered Savitri to be “the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo’s vision” and called it “that marvellous prophetic poem which will be humanity’s guide towards its future realisation.”
