Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)

"Life’s meanings fled from the pursuing eye. Life’s visage hides life’s real self from sight; Life’s secret sense is written within, above. The thought that gives it sense lives far beyond; It is not seen in its half-finished design. In vain we hope to read the baffling signs"

Released from the prison house of Matter, Savitri enters into the dangerous and delightful, fitful and fanciful world of life. She has come out of individual ignorance but has entered into the cosmic ignorance, a much vaster and mixed territory where truth and error walk hand in hand.

"Savitri has chosen Satyavan for her partner in the game of life. This choice has implications upon future that is yet sealed to human view.

Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)

"In the sleepy splendour of her noons he saw, A perpetual repetition through the hours, Thought’s dance of dragonflies on mystery’s stream That skim but never test its murmurs’ race, And heard the laughter of her rose desires [...], Jingling sweet anklet-bells of fantasy."

A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)

"[...] the seer King bids Narada to bless his daughter to lead a happy, fruitful life in the future, oblivious of sorrow and pain. And yet as Aswapati speaks, he betrays the deeper truth that God’s chosen ones must pass through the test of fire to fulfill the work they have come to accomplish."
