Maharshi Aurobindo's Savitri Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Maharshi Aurobindo's Savitri



Savitri is classical in format and design, a meeting of the East and the West, a hybrid fusion of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and English, Sanskritized and Latinized, Miltonic and Vysayan and Valmikian, a tale of love and death told in ages and ages after, continuing since long as a myth, a legend cutting the myth of Yama, Hinduistic and soul-alluring.
Poetry born out of sadhna, the rishi feeling for not Rambha, Urvasie and Menaka, but Savitri and also under the influence of French Mirra Alfassa. The rishi from his hut seeing the dawnbreak and singing paeans to Sun-God, giver of light and dreaming golden dreams.
