The Birth of Savitr

by R. Y. Deshpande

Short poetic contemplations on each canto of Savitri.

The author "attempts an accurate subjective impression of each canto but through a personal retelling, using a focused mystic style. Bringing to this the aspiration for the overhead word, his poem becomes a seeking for the mantra -- a mantra that will capture the heart of the grand mantra that is Savitri, in other words, Savitri's bija." Also included are a Resume of Savitri, and notes on the Legend and the Symbol.
