Which is the best commentary on Savitri? 😊πŸͺ·

The best commentary on Savitri is yet to be written. Savitri has been revealed from a plane of consciousness not yet accessible to the human mind. It is only a growing spiritual intuition that can help us understand Savitri, to some extent. The commentaries however do help in orienting us to the storyline as it flows through the book. They also invite and awaken interest in reading it, provide useful hints and insights, thereby bringing us in contact with its beauty, joy, magnificence and wonder.Β 

There are a number of different commentaries available as of date, such as Nadkarni ji. Pandit ji, Shraddhavan. Mine is in the Press, likely to come soon. Plenty of talks are also available on different platforms. My talks on Savitri are all on Auromaa.org

It is difficult to say which one is better, as each has an angle of approach that suits different temperaments.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. πŸ₯ΈπŸ’πŸ’’[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
