One hundred and twenty five years ago on the 11th Sep 1893 Swami Vivekananda awakened the people of America with his speech at the Parliament of Religions.

A weekly sharing on Savitri by Alok Pandey (an audio recording in English).
Savitri has realized the state of Transcendent consciousness. She has reached the doors of the Unknowable Absolute. But this state remains closely guarded within her heart.
"To understand Savitri, the best way, paradoxical though it may seem, is not to try to understand it — to refrain from effort, all mental effort to understand it, and instead to let it enter into your consciousness and illumine it."
Richard Pearson, editor of the book “Flowers and their messages”, the first book published by the ashram on spiritual significance of flowers, speaks on this very subject. Recording of 1990.
This is the description of the seer-king Aswapati as he ascends out of the zone of Ignorance and settles into Knowledge. We are also told that he also embodies the human aspiration and thus becomes a meeting point between the human, as he stands now, and the Divine manifestation that is yet to come.
Now Savitri stands at the doors of the Unknowable. She has entered the holiest of the Holy mystery, the Absolute, the Parabrahman, the Paratpara.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)

Artistic direction: Philippe Pelen Baldini and Thierry Moucazambo.
This last passage summarises the kind of freedom that the seer and yogi Aswapati has arrived at in the course of his inner journey. Aswapati, the king, is now a changed person, he has undergone a large and luminous change in his consciousness.
"O immutable Peace, deliver men from ignorance, may Thy full and pure Light reign everywhere!"

" ... our souls the Immortal’s selves within,
Comrades and powers and children of the Unseen."
Savitri has travelled far and deep beyond the Mind until all begins to fade and vanish. She discovers the ancient Vedantic truth of Adwaita, the One without a second. She realizes the Brahman state, the Nihil or the Nirvana of the Buddhist.
