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.

Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

 Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):  "Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see: THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come. THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee. THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation. THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfa...

Esoteric astrology & psychology of Alexander Grothendieck part 1

A disciple from the inner ashram of Hilarion (Ray 5) I am trying to discern here energetic (seven rays) pattern in Grothendieck's esoterically challenging life through perspectives offered by Esoteric Astrology, Psychology and the Science of Seven Rays. The exoteric life details of this great disciple can be found on Grothendieck Circle Website, which will be the reference for the exoteric facts of this post. 1. Grothendieck (born in Germany) remained stateless throughout his life but choose to settle in a country (France) whose Soul Ray is fifth and Personality ray is Third reflecting his estimated ray profile through my research. 2. I hypothesize that Grothendieck subconsciously responded to energies from the Avatar of Synthesis by influencing the work of Saunders Maclane giving rise to a foundational branch (although he didn't give first definition of a category) of Mathematics called Category theory which is precisely the synthesis of entire mathematics (not yet fully ackno...

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...
