At the Feet of The Mother
An Essay by Dr Alok Pandey (TEXT)
Some would say that a new year is after all a convention. In a certain sense everything is a convention, a habit or a pattern woven into our thoughts and beliefs. The universe is born anew each moment and there is nothing in us that repeats the hour that is left behind.

Upon the altar of the Wonderful;
Her hours were a ritual in a timeless fane;
Her acts became gestures of sacrifice.

It may then be said that Savitri is a revelation, it is a meditation, it is a quest of the Infinite, of the Eternal. If it is read with this aspiration for Immortality, the reading itself will serve as a guide towards Immortality.

COMMENTARY ON SAVITRI BY DR ALOK PANDEY (TEXT)

SRI AUROBINDO'S LETTERS TO NAGIN DOSHI (TEXT)
X told me that if one leaves the physical consciousness one can easily have the experience of the Brahman everywhere and in all things.
