At the Feet of The Mother

Who Art Thou Who Camest

AUDIO:

Who art thou that camest
Bearing the occult Name,
Wings of regal darkness,
Eyes of an unborn flame?

Like the august uprising
Of a forgotten sun
Out of the caverned midnight
Fire-trails of wonder run.

Captured the heart renouncing
Tautness of passion-worn strings
Allows the wide-wayed sweetness
Of free supernal things.

Now Savitri reveals the journey of Man further since the time he emerged out of the animal.

Beyond the sensations and the thoughts there is a silent world of contemplation and power where all is prepared for manifestation.
