Abstract:

Shri Aurobindo’s ‘Savitri’ is an immensely prophetic work which transcends the philosophies circumscribing all the religions of the world. It does not emphasize any particular religion or philosophy, instead, it universalises the very concept of spirituality and God. This lofty and grand work unfolds the depths of spirituality, beginning from the origin of the soul to its sufferings in the materialistic world because of the unending cycle of birth and death. It is a theological work based on Aurobindo’s experience of his journey to the Divine. This seminal work describes the realization of the truth by human soul and its blissful union with the supreme soul by defeating the dark and the dominating forces of the material world.
