Savitri By Aurobindo Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Savitri by Aurobindo
Is the lotus of imagination,
A myth and a legend,
A dream and a vision
Of the yogi
Of the Pondicherry Ashrama.

Savitri a work drafted and re-drafted
Is an epic
Of Indian philosophy and culture,
Thought and tradition,
Myth and mysticism,
Cosmology and theology.

The yogi with his yogic reflection
Adds and attaches to the work,
A book in vaster expanse,
One of cosmic vision and reflection,
Transcendental meditation,
Taking to a different plane of imagination.

A book of human destiny,
The Soul holds a discussion
With Yama,
The God of Religion,
The God of Death,
The Messenger with the Message Divine.
