(Picture of Dawn – Sandhya)
Like a fire from
cave depths
Like a chant of
hymn from silence’ self
Like a living
symbol from ocean-ness
Awakes the Dawn
from Nature’s bosom.
She leans Her
hands of blessing
As fresh pink hues
on blue sky
Secretly knocks
the petals opening
On the
flame-flowers of ecstasy.
A welcome song for
the day is Dawn,
A miracle birth of
light in morn.

Dr. Prema
Nandakumar, in her PhD thesis titled “Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri, A study of the
cosmic epic”, gives a beautiful account of how Dawn is picturized in Savitri.
She says:
“This sublime
picture of Dawn is verily infused with the symbolism of growth in
consciousness: that is, Woman inconscient waking up from her stupor and
becoming slowly transformed into the superconscient goddess”.
