AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am now reading the canto “Issue” I understand within my mind’s capacity.ย ย I have a question here.ย In the beginning of this Canto, Savitri’s thought process to cancel the fate (death ofย  Satyavan)ย  is described. Can you give the main idea by which she wants toย  cancel the fate to bring a new life to Satyavan?ย โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ
