AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is Satyavan in Savitri Symbolic? What was so special about him?

Satyavan is the soul of the man caught in the net of Ignorance. Yet, and here lies the difference between Satyavan and all others who are so caught, that Satyavan is seeking for the light that would not only liberate him but give him its true value by becoming a bridge between the highest and our present struggling existence.

It is this search for something higher and greater, this quest for the truth of our existence, for the deeper meaning and true purpose that singles out Satyavan apart from the rest. It is to such a one that the Divine Grace comes in its most beautiful and potent form, that is Love.

Affectionately,

Alok da.
