At the Feet of The Mother
Alok Pandey
Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
In a profound existence beyond earth's
Parent or kin to our ideas and dreams
Where Space is a vast experiment of the soul,
In an immaterial substance linked to ours
In a deep oneness of all things that are,
The universe of the Unknown arose.
The Queen continues to raise questions that have vexed humanity for long whose definitive and comprehensive answers have eluded us.
The Queen respects her daughter’s choice but is perplexed by it nevertheless. She expresses her plight to Narad with regard to the ways of Destiny.
The Queen moved by the irony of Destiny bids Savitri to reverse her choice. Now comes a difficult choice but Savitri is clear and determined that she has loved and chosen Satyavan...
The Queen, who represents the conventional human wisdom that looks at life from a practical intelligence rather than an idealistic one, now questions life and destiny and God’s plan.
At the insistence of the queen, the human mother of Savitri, Narad the sage with a capacity of foresight speaks of the destiny that Savitri has with Satyavan.
