A synthesis of Savitri and Seven Rays

A Synthesis of the heart (mystic way of Krishna, Maitreya or Christ) and head (occult path of Buddha as explained in Theosophy and Seven Rays) paths fusing into Love-Wisdom (Ray 2 Lesson we are mastering here).

Savitri an epic, is a mantric expression of Seer-sage’s Sri Aurobindo's inner findings and conquests, leading to his vision of an supramental age of truth-consciousness and immortality (or the new age of Bailey or the sixth race of Blavatsky). He presents it in 12 books with their themes as below:

1. Beginnings

2. The Traveller of the Worlds

3. The Divine Mother

4. Birth and Quest

5. Love

6. Fate

7. Yoga

8. Death

9. Eternal Night

10.The Double Twilight

11.Everlasting Day

12.Epilogue

It is an epic poem of high spiritual challenge in the Yoga or Divine Union or Goal of Self-Realisation it presents. It portrays in living drama the daring climb within (that which DK calls initiations) of a king-soul (spiritual triad) through progressive states of consciousness to Nirvanic heights (reaching the Monad at later initiations) and beyond to summits never reached before. Briefly the theme is that Savitri (The coming Saviour Christ or Maitreya with his team of Masters on 7 Rays) has accepted the mortal birth in response to the ardent prayer of Aswapati the Yogi, at his insistence (which is our inner cry and spiritual endeavour to the greatest height) With a disciple's spiritually prepared ground, she see a certain readiness and comes down to conquer Death. The love between Savitri and Satyavan is the love of Maitreya towards his disciples. The knowledge-glow and the warrior-strength of Savitri is tested in the occult battle of Kurukshetra and eventually, Death (depicting loss of Soul to the glamor and grip of lower self) stands defeated against her. Sri Aurobindo goes further describing how Savitri had asked for The Life Divine for men and earth (the new age), for the soul of this evolutionary creation, and she is assured that it shall be so, that the earthly life shall become The Life Divine.

My goal is to intuit the synthesis between these approaches and such kind of work has never been attempted as far as my knowledge goes.

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

Album The Yoga of Synthesis Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...

A Lam-Rim Retreat - Part III

Dated May/June 2025. 1. A Darshan As we meditated and learned some key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism, the air within the monastery was mildly perfumed with the delicate scent of Tibetan essence. Outside, the bees hummed among the native flowers, intoxicated by their fragrance. On the nearby trees, the monkeys leaped and swung, and the outside air was filled with the chirp of small birds and insects. Deceived by material prosperity and addicted to comforts (I am not against either of these, but against the ever-increasing production of goods or the culture of consumerism to gratify men's insatiable desires; or to hide the unpleasant facts of life), the majority of "modernistic" men have deprived themselves of the opportunity and privileges of leading a truly satisfying life of spiritual freedom as their ancestors once did. As I took a Tibetan Buddhist retreat on the Himalayan heights, I could readily experience that it was immensely easier for the materially “ba...

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri. "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...
