Dr Alok Pandey and Narad on Savitri (VIDEO)
"Each rainbow brilliance was a splendid lie;
A beauty unreal graced a glamour face.
[...] Love ended early in hate, delight killed with pain,
Truth into falsity grew and death ruled life."
Savitri has heard the voice of Light followed by the warped echo arising in the Mind of Night. She responds to her being of Light with a promise that one day she shall return and fulfill her work.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Hearing the prophesy the queen and human mother of Savitri pleads to her to change her choice since death has made it pointless. But Savitri speaks in the manner of the gods. She refuses to give up love or hope.
Even as Savitri meets her being of Light, she hears the echo from the lower human planes, that divert the message of the Light and the gifts it brings for its own small purposes.
Savitri passes onward towards her secret soul. Before entering the secret cave of her soul she encounters her being of Light, the Madonna of Light, Mother of Joy and Peace.

"There is a need within the soul of man
The splendours of the surface never sate;
For life and mind and their glory and debate
Are the slow prelude of a vaster theme..."
