December 20th and 27th –
Meditations on Savitri
and Savitri reading circle:
In our final two
sessions of the year, we reached the last canto of Savitri: “The Return to Earth”. On earth, though from heaven,
Savitri began her life. Now returned to earth, after wrestling with Death and
God in Night and supernal Day, Savitri stands before Satyavan, and the whole
earth, as the embodiment of supramental Grace and Life:
“A power dwelt
in her soul too great for earth,
A bliss lived in
her heart too large for heaven;
Light too
intense for thought and love too boundless”
Yet the mystery
of human love is not cancelled but fulfilled by their ordeal. Still is she
Savitri, the sweet Madran, and the wife of Satyavan, her beloved:
“Our love has
grown greater by that mighty touch
And learned its
heavenly significance,
Yet nothing is
lost of mortal love's delight.”
Hand in hand,
they walked. And from far off came the cry of the human world: For Savitri had
won many boons from Death, not least the restoration of Dyumatsena’s sight and
kingship. Savitri and Satyavan rejoined the kingly party, opening up a new
chapter on earth just as one has already opened up in heaven. In her, a priest and sage saw the embodiment
of a ‘greater dawn’ but she herself simply answered:
“Awakened to the
meaning of my heart
That to feel
love and oneness is to live
And this the
magic of our golden change,
Is all the truth
I know or seek, O sage.”
Thus, the final
word, and perhaps the first, is Love.
We meditated on
this canto through listening to the Mother’s readings, full of the power of her
voice. We concentrated on Huta’s paintings and we read the mantric verses. Each
time we read Savitri, the Truth grows in us, bringing understanding, peace and
every blessing.
January 3rd - Readings from AIM Magazine The Mother’s Yoga:
In this session
we delved into the incredible details of the Mother’s Yoga after the
supramental descent in 1956. We read various passages detailing the yoga the
Mother was performing for the earth – opening her body and being up totally –
as a representative and example for all of us - to the Supreme.
We also read
about the descent of the Overman consciousness in 1969 – which has brought
powerful new possibilities to humanity, and further accelerated the spiritual
evolution of the earth.
