*Amazon Book overview*
Almost all of these essays on Savitri were first published as monthly instalments in the e-journal Next Future. Dr Nadkarni s approach has been to acclimatise the reader to the experience of reading Savitri by introducing, canto by canto through each book, selected passages that mark important milestones in the poem. His presentation combines an appreciation of the beauty and mantric power of Sri Aurobindo s poetry, a discourse that highlights the departures made by Sri Aurobindo from the tale recounted by Vyasa in the Mahabharata in order to emphasise the story s deeper symbolic meaning, and an exploration of some of the themes running through the poem that are central to Sri Aurobindo s vision and teachings. The last two essays are transcripts of talks that summarise Books XI and XII and give a succinct overview of the entire poem.
Grateful thanks to Amazon.
