– Savitri: The Glory and Fall of Life
Chhalamayi,
with her extensive research and meditation, enthralled us with a beautifully
woven snippets from Savitri, Book 2 focusing on Life and through that touching
a deeper and a wider canvas. The central focus was on the Canto 3, ‘The Glory
and Fall of Life’ – Aswapati’s Journey into the kingdom of Life. The Book 2 is
about his journey into the various planes of Consciousness - of Subtle Matter,
Life and Mind and last into the Spiritual Worlds.

Self-Dynamising Meditation using Savitri and Huta Paintings
We continued
with our deep dive on the Book 3, ‘The Book of the Divine Mother’, Canto 2,
‘The Adoration of the Divine Mother’. It was a Divine Delight experiencing
momentarily ‘The Flame Discovery of God’ – though this discovery is explicitly
touched upon in the Canto 3, as a prelude, we could feel the voice that chants
to the creator fire. The flames of Divine Mother take on infinite forms to
accomplish the eternal dynamic Divine Delight uniting behind The One. Through
this canto, we too can get a glimpse of Aswapati’s Darshan of The Mother which
is far and beyond Vishwaroopa Darshan of Krishna to Arjuna.
‘His spirit was caught in her
intolerable flame.
Once seen, his heart acknowledged only
her.’

Poems and paintings of Niranjan Guha Roy
Jared
navigated us through the selected poems and the corresponding paintings of
Niranjan Guha Roy (1920 to 2005). Niranjan was a pilot in the Royal Air Force
during the war and was an Ashramite from 1945 to 1984. We could feel the deep
aspirations of Niranjan so vividly expressed through his poems and paintings.
We briefly glimpsed at the Elan, The Shrine and The House of the Mother.
