Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri and the Mantra

To read Sri Aurobindo’s poem Savitri is to witness a tremendous adventure in the interior realms; to witness and participate in a multidimensional quest. It is perhaps the best example of spiritual verses—poetry as dhyana mantra. This Indian epic, as Sahapedia finds, is Aurobindo’s magnum opus.
