Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri and Posthumous Integral-Yoga Reception

Record summary

Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem Savitri, issued in expanded editions during the postwar period, became central to Aurobindo Ashram interpretations of consciousness, spiritual evolution, death, and transformation. The Ashram’s writings after his death in 1950 also developed the concept of supramental change and the Mother’s embodied spiritual work. This lead matters for comparing literary revelation and institutional esotericism with alchemical language. Textual revisions, edition history, and devotional interpretation make it important to distinguish authorial chronology from later doctrinal elaboration.
