A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 12

 "Earth felt the Imperishable’s passage close:

The waking ear of Nature heard her steps

And wideness turned to her its limitless eye,

And, scattered on sealed depths, her luminous smile

Kindled to fire the silence of the worlds."


- Savitri, a Legend and a Symbol.

 


A theosophical meditative perspective:


These lines potray apprehension of the insconscient Earth (one of those non-sacred planets as we are taught in theosophy) as the approach of the immortal Goddess is sensed. Her wide infinte eyes and awakenend ears get attuned to the Goddess. The dazzling smile of Goddess, fires the deep shut quiet of Nature. Huta paints the smiling Goddess radiant with brilliant sparks illuminating the wide space also depicting Earth at the bottom.
