"The giant sons of Darkness sit and plan
The drama of the earth, their tragic stage.
All who would raise the fallen world must come
Under the dangerous arches of their power [...]
None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell."
Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
"In Night he plunged to know her dreadful heart,
In Hell he sought the root and cause of Hell."

"There waiting its hour the future lay unknown,
There is the record of the vanished stars.
There in the slumber of the cosmic Will
He saw the secret key of Nature’s change."
Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
"He traversed scenes of an immortal joy
And gazed into abysms of beauty and bliss.
Around him was a light of conscious suns
And a brooding gladness of great symbol things"

... Till That is reached our journeying cannot cease.
Always a nameless goal beckons beyond,
Always ascends the zigzag of the gods
And upward points the spirit's climbing Fire.
Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
A glory and sweetness of satisfied desire
Tied up the spirit to golden posts of bliss.
It could not house the wideness of a soul
Which needed all infinity for its home.
Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
To eternal light and knowledge meant to rise,
Up from man's bare beginning is our climb;
Out of earth's heavy smallness we must break,
We must search our nature with spiritual fire
