A talk by Dr Alok Pandey at Savitri Readers Bhavan, Bhubaneswar in Dec 2017 (Part 2 of 2).
Savitri has crossed the last stronghold of Death. The mask of terror and grief is torn and Savitri enters the very Home of Truth. It is then that she is face to face with the Divine who stands behind creation hidden behind all action and movement. A long dialogue follows where Savitri seeks for the redemption of earth but the Divine dissuades her saying that the earth is not yet ready. But Savitri stands her ground seeking the boon of divinisation of earthly life. What we discover here is the Divine Love and Compassion that dwells in Savitri’s heart who is none else but an incarnation of the Divine Mother. We are also given a quick glimpse of the challenges of transformation especially with regard to the resistance in man. Eventually she ascends to Her own Home and asks for the boons from the Supreme.
