Author’s Note
The tale of Satyavan and Savitri is recited in the Mahabharata
as a story of conjugal love conquering death. But this legend
is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the
many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. Satyavan is the soul
carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended
into the grip of death and ignorance; Savitri is the Divine Word,
daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes
down and is born to save; Aswapati, the Lord of the Horse, her
human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy
of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to
the immortal planes; Dyumatsena, Lord of the Shining Hosts,
father of Satyavan, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing
its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom
of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not
personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living
and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete
touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and
show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness
and immortal life.
