The English of Savitri
Since 1980, Shraddhavan has been teaching English in Auroville through close readings of Sri Aurobindo’s revelatory epic Savitri: a legend and a symbol. In August 1998 these classes were resumed at Savitri Bhavan, with a growing number of students, including young Tamil teacher-trainees from the Arul Vazhi School located in Promesse, Auroville. These classes were given the name ‘The English of Savitri’ and they concluded in May of 2009 as this group reached the end of the poem. This book is based on the transcripts of a new series of classes given by Shraddhavan between August 2009 and October 2010, which have been edited for conciseness and clarity, while aiming to preserve some of th...
Stars in the Soup and other poems
A delightful selection of poems created by a long time resident of Auroville, Shraddhavan. Written in an open, free-flowing style, Shraddhavan embraces the world around her, particularly the natural world, as it whispers to her the story of her own evolving spirituality. If we listen quietly, she whispers to us as well.
The English of Savitri - 6
This is the sixth volume of the English of Savitri series, based on transcripts of classes led by the author at Savitri Bhavan, in this case from 23 June to 29 December 2016. The transcripts have been carefully revised and edited for conciseness and clarity, while aiming to preserve the informal atmosphere of the course. This volume contains detailed explanations of the texts of the two closing Books of Sri Aurobindo’s epic: Book Eleven - The Book of Everlasting Day and Book Twelve - Epilogue: The Return to Earth. Each sentence is examined closely and explanations are given about vocabulary, sentence structure and imagery. The aim is to assist a deeper understanding and appreciation of the poem which the Mother has characterised as 'the supreme revelation of Sri Au robin do's vision'.
Theosophy across Boundaries
Theosophy across Boundaries brings a global history approach to the study of esotericism, highlighting the important role of Theosophy in the general histories of religion, science, philosophy, art, and politics. The first half of the book consists of seven perspectives on the activities of the Theosophical Society in very different regional contexts, ranging from India, Vietnam, China, and Japan to Victorian Britain and Israel, shedding new light on the entanglement of "Western" and "Oriental" ideas around 1900. The second half explores specific cultural influences that Theosophy exerted in the spheres of literature, art, and politics, using case studies from Sri Lanka, Burma, India, Japan, Ireland, Germany, and Russia. The examples clearly show that Theosophy was part of a truly global movement, thus providing an outstanding example of the complex entanglements of the global religious history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Easy Journey to Goloka
All of us want to remain happy, immortal and live a disease-free life. But we waste our most precious human life searching for happiness in the wrong place. When the scriptures say that this material world is temporary and full of miseries, why are we wasting our time searching for happiness in the wrong place? Easy Journey to Goloka deals not only with the most authorized process of how one should lead his life and also how one should leave the life from this material world. This book provides information on how to remain happy forever and be immortal. The author has chosen a unique way of explaining an allegorical story of Srivatsav, the hero of the book, through the process of self-realization in three stages, i.e., Surfing, Snorkelling and Scuba diving. He has attempted to convey the process of how a sinful and fallen person can go back to the spiritual world by taking shelter of a bonafide spiritual master. The author invites the reader of this book to embark on the exciting journey with Srivatsav and experience the real art of dying and becoming immortal. As part of his Easy Journey to Goloka, the reader can also witness the miracles of the spiritual world.
