Sri Aurobindo’s multi-faceted genius is not easily fathomed. The world knows him primarily as a Mahayogi. He was also a superb poet in English and achieved the impossible by producing a great philosophical epic in Savitri. Almost fifty years a-growing, the epic poem takes up the secular legend of Savitri and Satyavan found in Vyasa’s Mahabharata and retells the tale in terms of man’s evolutionary advancement and the possibilities of his great future on earth. Savitri by itself, Savitri in relation to Sri Aurobindo’s life and work, and Savitri in relation to the great epics of the world and even in relation to the currents of human thoughts and experience of all times: these are the three ascending terms in the argument in Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri, A Study ofâ€the Comic Epic. At a time when there is a widening interest in Sri Aurobindo’s poem, this trustworthy volume will be a great help to aspirants the world over. * Savitri is the record of a seeing, an experience which is not of the common kind and is often very far from what the general human mind sees and experiences...there must be a new extension of consciousness and aesthesis to appreciate a new kind of mystic poetry. -Sri Aurobindo
