Essays on Sri Aurobindo's Savitri

NEW PUBLICATIONS
Savitri, The Mother
Essays on Sri Aurobindo's SAVITRI - The Book of Yoga— Prof. M. V. Seetaraman ISBN: 978-81-903346-1-7 Publisher: Savitri Bhavan, Auroville Binding: Soft Cover Pages: 178Price: Rs 125
The thirteen articles collected in this book were originally published in the journal The Advent from 1962 to 1965. The premise of the series of essays is to demonstrate the correspondences between Sri Aurobindo's description of the Yoga of Savitri, as seen in Cantos I, IV, V, VI and VII of Book VII, and the Mother's record of her own experiences in her Prayers and Meditations. Combining a detailed explication of lines from these Cantos with an examination of his broader themes, the author gives his insights on such topics as the personality of Savitri as an avatar, her encounter with the three aspects of the World Mother, or the triple soul-forces, and her work to build the bridge for man to cross over into the highest realm of consciousness and realise the new Gnostic Soul.
Towards New Age
— R. Y. Deshpande ISBN: 978-81-86413-46-3 Publisher: Sri Mira Trust, Puducherry Binding: Soft Cover Pages: 309 Price: Rs 150
Presently we are passing through the Age of Reason and perhaps preparing ourselves, without being aware of it, for the Age of luminous Intuition. The urge of the spirit of man for God-Light-Freedom-Immortality is certainly there, but it is not sufficiently deep-rooted. There is the positive human potential and it has to get firmed up in the spiritual values and possibilities. The present work is an attempt to discover and promote these values and possibilities in the vision of Sri Aurobindo and the dynamics of the Mother’s executive Force. There has to be a conviction that the culmination of the social development into the Age of the ageless Spirit is the secret yearning and motivating force behind the evolutionary Nature’s long painstaking and patient working. Humanity’s conscious participation in it will assuredly hasten this triumph and this glory. To make us perceive some of these elements is the sincere effort of Towards New Age.
Sri Aurobindo's Treatment of Hindu Myth
— J. Feys Publisher: Firma Klm Pvt. Ltd., Kolkata Binding: Hard Cover Pages: 56 Price: Rs 30
Sri Aurobindo was a modern reinterpreter of the entire range of traditional Hindu culture. Not only did he propose his own original interpretation of the nation's heritage, but also wrote extensive commentaries on the vast mass of Sanskrit literature. As essential component of the culture he professed to revitalise was Hindu myth, which he salvaged in its entirety. This book, published in 1983 and now available with SABDA, brings out a perhaps less-recognised facet of Sri Aurobindo's work manifest in all his literary genres—his creative reinterpretation of Hindu myth.
