April
22nd – Self-Dynamising Meditation using Savitri and Huta Paintings
After the last month’s overall view of all the
Cantos of Book 3 (‘The Book of the Divine Mother’), we took a deep dive – first
in ‘The Pursuit of the unknowable’ and next the pursuit for the symbol OM.
Ashwapathy’s darshan of ‘The God Head of the Whole’ after entering through the
space between the slayer and saviour fires endows him with the apprehending
consciousness of the Supermind but still misses its fully comprehending
consciousness – the hidden all-encompassing voice that chants to the creator
fire, the symbolled OM, the great assenting Word. We continued our attempt to
weave using the threads of the last ten months of glimpses into a Spiritual
fabric. This Book provided us the perfect framework for aligning with the
Future Poetry Jared is navigating us through. Here we can discover the essence
and secret of the whole creation of which poetry is just a part.
May 6th
and 13th – The Future Poetry
Jared navigated us through the key points of
Chapter VI: The National Evolution of Poetry and Chapter VII: The Character of
English Poetry I. Greek poetry was singled out for its powerful influence
through its perfection while taking life from a whole large view-point. It
worked always from the inspired reason, used a luminous intellectual
observation and harmonized all it did by the rule of an enlightened and
chastened aesthetic sense. Jared also highlighted some passages from Sri
Aurobindo’s Illion. This is set in quantitative hexameter which He had admired
- the chosen vehicle of Homer, Virgil and other great Greek and Latin poets. We
also discussed about the influence of the national soul on the poetry and the
other artistic expressions.
