Book excerpt: R. K. Narayan (1906—2001) witnessed nearly a century of change in his native India and captured it in fiction of uncommon warmth and vibrancy. In The Dark Room, Narayan’s portrait of aggrieved domesticity, the docile and obedient Savitri, like many Malgudi women, is torn between submitting to her husband’s humiliations and trying to escape them. Written during British rule, this novel brings colonial India into intimate focus through the narrative gifts of this master of literary realism.
Book Synopsis Savitri In-Between by : Sri Aurobindo
Download or read book Savitri In-Between written by Sri Aurobindo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savitri is well-known as the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's spiritual vision. In it, lofty Himalayan grandeur and plunging Pacific depths are given in soul-stirring poetry. Quotations are taken from these heights and depths, treatises are devoted to them, and scholars as well as lay readers pause at these powerful passages. The poet's afflatus continues in-between. Like the meadows at the foothills of the Himalayas and the beaches at the edges of the Pacific, metaphors of Kalidasan beauty and connections of windowed insight complete the poetic landscape. "Savitri In-Between" is a collection of such lines. Do not read this collection to get the essence of Savitri or its story-line or its message or its most powerful expression. For that, read all of Savitri or one of the many summaries of it. What you will find here are simply all the lines that best show the meticulous poetic artistry in-between Savitri. To illustrate the method of selection, consider this powerful passage from one of the summits of Savitri. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Alone Has called out of the Silence his mute Force Where she lay in the featureless and formless hush Guarding from Time by her immobile sleep The ineffable puissance of his solitude. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Alone Has entered with his silence into space: He has fashioned these countless persons of one self; He lives in all, who lived in his Vast alone; Space is himself and Time is only he. The Absolute, the Perfect, the Immune, One who is in us as our secret self, Our mask of imperfection he has assumed, He has made this tenement of flesh his own, His image in the human measure cast That to his divine measure we might rise; Then in a figure of divinity The Maker shall recast us and impose A plan of godhead on the mortal's mould Lifting our finite minds to his infinite, Touching the moment with eternity. This transfiguration is earth's due to heaven: A mutual debt binds man to the Supreme: His nature we must put on as he put ours; We are sons of God and must be even as he: His human portion, we must grow divine. Our life is a paradox with God for key. This stunning passage obviously is not of an "in-between" nature and hence it is not included as a block in the lines compiled in this collection. Yet, in the middle of this passage is a revealing metaphor: He has made this tenement of flesh his own, which does belong to this collection, and is included. While reading Savitri, it is easy to overlook the in-between lines because one gets enraptured by the summits. Yet there is poetic beauty everywhere and this collection invites you to enter into Savitri through a mezzanine doorway. All quotations are from the First Edition of Savitri republished by Savitri Foundation on 29 March 2012. Unless absolutely required to preserve meaning, punctuation has been removed for simpler presentation.

Book Synopsis The English of Savitri by : Shraddhavan
Download or read book The English of Savitri written by Shraddhavan and published by Auro e-Books. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, Shraddhavan has been teaching English in Auroville through close readings of Sri Aurobindo’s revelatory epic Savitri: a legend and a symbol. In August 1998 these classes were resumed at Savitri Bhavan, with a growing number of students, including young Tamil teacher-trainees from the Arul Vazhi School located in Promesse, Auroville. These classes were given the name ‘The English of Savitri’ and they concluded in May of 2009 as this group reached the end of the poem. This book is based on the transcripts of a new series of classes given by Shraddhavan between August 2009 and October 2010, which have been edited for conciseness and clarity, while aiming to preserve some of the informal atmosphere of the course. Edited transcripts of these classes began to be published serially in the Bhavan’s journal of Study Notes on Savitri, ‘Invocation’, from issue 32 onwards, since it was felt that they may be of interest to a wider audiance. They are now being published in book form in several volumes by Yukta Prakashan publishers of Vadodara. This suggested the idea of collecting the original English articles into a book form as well. This is the first such volume, covering all the five cantos of Book One of the poem, ‘The Book of Beginnings’.
Book Synopsis Savitri with Accents: the Book of Fate by : Sri Aurobindo
Download or read book Savitri with Accents: the Book of Fate written by Sri Aurobindo and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present here the text of the First Edition of Savitri with accent-marks; these are indicated with the font in red colour. The scansion of the lines could be left to the individual's perception; but we should mention that we are not considering half-accents which on occasions can fall on vowels in the rhythmic flow of the lines. It must also be noted that some accents could change from context to context, and from person to person. The subjective element in the rhythm must be recognised while reading or reciting poetry, principally the poetry of the mystic-spiritual kind where both inner sound and silence count the most.Let us take an example or two from the present Book of Savitri, Book Six, The Book of Fate. The first is from Canto Two: "And who I am and who he is I love." In the entire monosyllabic line there is only one vowel with a natural accent on it, "love", a most unusual situation. Yet the line is not uninteresting and monotonous, lifeless. It is kind of assertively slow. A certain power of knowledge has wakened in Savitri in the wake of the discovery of Love by her, and she is emphatic to affirm it. This affirmation can be put by laying stress on certain vowels in the line. It could be read as: "And whó I am and whó he is I lóve." So we have iamb-pyrrhic-iamb-pyrrhic-iamb, a very rhythmic and felicitous movement. The other example is from the opening part of the Book, describing the arrival of Narad from Paradise to Aswapati's palace: "To these róóms of a séé-saw gáme of déáth and lífe." A natural way of scanning it would be: To these róóms| of a séé|-saw gáme| of déáth| and lífe.| Two anapaests followed by three iambs give an easy smoothness to the line although there is the struggling see-saw action because of life and death in this world of ours. But it seems that it is a game and is going to serve some momentous purpose in this mortal creation. If we have to convey this "see-saw"-ness of life and death we could scan the line differently: To these| róóms of a| séé-saw gáme| of déáth| and lífe.|" The dactyl and cretic could bring that tussle more effectively; but that makes the whole movement very jerky though the action is jerky. But see the atrocious jerkiness of the line in the Revised Edition of Savitri where it reads differently: "To these rooms of the see-saw game of death with life," making see-saw imbalanced; the charm and gentleness of the approximative "a" has vanished from the line. It looks as though all the undertones have disappeared from the otherwise "game of death and life" which would also happen if the line were "To these rooms of a see-saw game of life and death". We hope that the present attempt of bringing out the text with accent-marks will prove rewarding to the lovers of poetry, and in particular of Savitri in its metrical power, its rhythm and melody, its undertones and overtones, its volume and pitch and timbre, its nada and laya and chhanda, they carrying the "seed-sounds of the eternal Word", they moving in the felicity of "rhythmic calm and joy"; possibly it would take us closer to the yogic source from which it originated. Savitri Foundation is glad to put in this pioneering effort towards metrical presentation of Sri Aurobindo's epic. It is hoped that this will prove helpful in understanding and reading Savitri possibly in its intended sense and articulation.

Download or read book Savitri Digital-Friendly First Edition written by Aurobindo Ghosh and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publishers' Note Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri was written in three parts containing twelve Books. Part One was first published in September 1950, before his withdrawal in December that year; Part Two and Part Three came out as a single volume a few months later, in 1951. We are now publishing this 1950-1951 Edition of Savitri in a suitable format with section and sentence indexing. It is felt that this Savitri Digital-friendly Edition will prove much useful for various types of mobile or other new digital devices as it will enable referencing and navigation in a quick and convenient way. *** The Tale of Satyavan and Savitri The tale of Satyavan and Savitri is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death. But this legend is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. Satyavan is the soul carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended into the grip of death and ignorance; Savitri is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes down and is born to save; Aswapati, the Lord of the Horse, her human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to the immortal planes; Dyumatsena, Lord of the Shining Hosts, father of Satyavan, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness and immortal life. Sri Aurobindo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present here the text of the First Edition of Savitri with accent-marks; these are indicated with the font in red colour. The scansion of the lines could be left to the individual's perception; but we should mention that we are not considering half-accents which on occasions can fall on vowels in the rhythmic flow of the lines. It must also be noted that some accents could change from context to context, and from person to person. The subjective element in the rhythm must be recognised while reading or reciting poetry, principally the poetry of the mystic-spiritual kind where both inner sound and silence count the most.Let us take an example, of a line which appears towards the end of the last Canto of the Book of the Divine Mother-The Vision and the Boon: "And twixt the pauses of the building brain." The scanning of this line is straightforward with a pyrrhic in the middle balancing two iambs on either side. There is the constant activity of the building brain and it is in that activity, in its midst and not during its pauses, that something happens. This is an extraordinary perfection of the line conveying the extraordinary perfection of the Yogi engaged in that activity. Aswapati has climbed to the highest worlds of manifestation, has created a new and marvellous world in the House of the Spirit, invoked the Divine Shakti to take birth in this mortality and establish it in it. The boon is granted to him by her. After receiving it he comes back and gets engaged in the thousand affairs of this earth. It is even during these hectic occupations that he can receives intimations from the heights. That is his extraordinary realisation. But it is unfortunate that the Revised Edition of Savitri brought out in 1993 rejects this and insists to have the line as follows: "And in the pauses of the building brain." Not only the metrical balance is lost; there is actually indefensible if not regrettable downgrading of the spiritual realisation. We will go not by "in" but by "twixt".We hope that the present attempt of bringing out the text with accent-marks will prove rewarding to the lovers of poetry, and in particular of Savitri in its metrical power, its rhythm and melody, its undertones and overtones, its volume and pitch and timbre, its nada and laya and chhanda, they carrying the "seed-sounds of the eternal Word", they moving in the felicity of "rhythmic calm and joy"; possibly it would take us closer to the yogic source from which it originated.Savitri Foundation is glad to put in this pioneering effort towards metrical presentation of Sri Aurobindo's epic.

Book Synopsis The Lightning and the Sun by : Savitri Devi
Download or read book The Lightning and the Sun written by Savitri Devi and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lightning and the Sun is Savitri Devi's magnum opus and one of the founding texts of post-World War II National Socialism. Written in Europe from 1948 to 1956 and published in India in 1958, The Lightning and the Sun sets forth a unique and stunning synthesis of National Socialism with the cyclical Traditionalist philosophy of history and Hindu mythology. Savitri Devi's goal was to create a new National Socialist religion. She aspired to be the Saint Paul to Hitler's Jesus. Paul of Tarsus took Jesus, who was a religious prophet and a failed political revolutionary, and turned him into a divine incarnation, creating a religion which served as the vehicle for the triumph of Jewish values over Rome. Savitri Devi sought to transform Adolf Hitler, who was also both a prophetic figure and a failed political revolutionary, into a divine incarnation-an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu-hoping to create a religion that would serve as the vehicle for the triumph of National Socialism over egalitarian modernity. In spite of its near-legendary status, The Lightning and the Sun is a notoriously hard to find book. The first edition consisted of only 1,000 copies and is quite rare. The 1979 Samisdat reprint is long out of print and also quite rare. The most readily available edition is William Pierce's dramatically abridged version, which cuts two thirds of the text and was not authorized or checked by Savitri Devi. The Savitri Devi Archive's new edition of The Lightning and the Sun reprints the complete and unabridged first edition and corrects its many typographical errors. It also updates the citations, adds a number of explanatory notes, includes a helpful Editor's Foreword, and provides a detailed index. With this new edition, which is edited and manufactured to the highest academic press standards, The Lightning and the Sun has finally found a worthy embodiment.

Book Synopsis Inspiration from Savitri: Colours and Gems by : Sri Aurobindo
Download or read book Inspiration from Savitri: Colours and Gems written by Sri Aurobindo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo's lines and passages on colours and gems (and their colours) are filled with light and beauty, occasionally showing us the nether side of life and it's manifestation as well in the grey and black shades. We also receive many valuable insights into colours in his Letters on Yoga, Vol. 23, and though not all are applicable to the passages quoted in Savitri since he is replying to things seen in vision, many are most illuminating and significant to a deeper understanding of Savitri. This, the sixth volume in the series 'Inspiration from Savitri' invites us to study the lines and passages of colours and gems and enter further into realms of beauty and delight, uplifting us to worlds above in the soaring of our souls. All who are attracted to lights or see them will be moved by the magnificence, power and meaning with which Sri Aurobindo blesses us. *** Sri Aurobindo on Colour and Light Colour and light are always close to each other - colour being more indicative, light more dynamic. Colour incandescent becomes light. As for the exact symbolism of colours, it is not always easy to define exactly, because it is not rigid and precise, but complex, the meaning varying with the field, the combinations, the character and shades of the colour, the play of forces. A certain kind of yellow, for instance, is supposed by many occultists to indicate the buddhi, the intellect, and it often has that sense, but occurring among a play of vital forces it could not always be so interpreted - that would be too rigid. Here all one can say is that the blue (the particular blue seen, not every blue) indicated the response to the Truth; the green - or this green - is very usually associated with Life and a generous emanation or action of forces - often of emotional life-force, and it is probably this that it would indicate here. There are no separate colours of the beings. There is a characteristic colour of mind, yellow; of the psychic, pink or pale rose; of the vital, purple; but these are colours corresponding to the main forces of mind, psychic, vital - they are not the colours of the beings. Also other colours can play, e.g. in the vital, green and deep red as well as purple and there are other colours for the hostile vital forces. The violet light is that of the Divine Compassion (karuna - Grace) - the white light is the light of the Mother (the Divine Consciousness) in which all others are contained and from which they can be manifested. Purple is the colour of vital power. "Red" depends on the character of the colour, for there are many reds - this may be the colour of the physical consciousness. Blue is the higher mind. Whitish blue is known as Sri Aurobindo's light or sometimes Sri Krishna's light. The meaning of blue light depends on the exact character of colour, its shade and nature. A whitish blue like moonlight is known as Krishna's light or Sri Aurobindo's light - light blue is often that of Illumined Mind - there is another deeper blue that is of the Higher Mind; another, near to purple, which is the light of a power in the vital. The pale whitish blue light is "Sri Aurobindo's Light" - it is the blue light modified by the white light of the Mother. The pale blue light is mine, the white light is the Mother's. Blue is the normal colour of the spiritual planes; moonlight indicates the spiritual mind and its light. There are different Krishna lights - pale diamond blue, lavender blue, deep blue etc. It depends on the plane in which it manifests.... There is one blue that is the higher mind, a deeper blue belongs to the mind - Krishna's light in the mind.... All blue is not Krishna's light.... Diamond blue, Krishna's light in the Overmind - lavender blue in intuitive mind. Blue is also the Radha's colour. Purple is the colour of vital power. "Red" depends on the character of the colour, for there are many reds - this may be the colour of the physical consciousness.
