This talk is the first of a series of talks based on Sri Aurobindo’s poem Ilion. Sri Aurobindo refers to this event as one of the four major events that have shaped humanity.
Sri Aurobindo immortalises this great Maratha hero through his unique poetic creativity giving us an example and an inspiration to emulate as well as the joy of tasting the essence of heroism.
This is a summary talk at Savitri Bhavan which takes up the Mind worlds as they climb up from the little mind and through greater Mind right upto the Heavens of the Ideal.
Here we see how these radiant altitudes try to reach out to the Divine Mother, the Creatrix Power of the Supreme. The Divine Mother seems to lower Her stature to their heights. Yet none can know Her.
Sri Aurobindo released the power of the Word through the Arya and various other writings that are now available in the form of books such as ‘The Synthesis of Yoga’, ‘The Life Divine’, ‘The Human Cycle’ apart from his commentaries on the Vedas, Upanishads and the Gita. The word Arya itself has a profound meaning.
Here the light has grown and one can see the truth hidden in the depths.
The first steps take Aswapati into the higher Mind where form is given to the Knowledge that comes from Beyond in a broad sunlight.
Aswapati emerges out of the little mind, he passes beyond its limits.
