AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Which is the best commentary on Savitri? 😊🪷

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. 

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. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
