We wallow in the bhavsagar (whirlpool) of worldy activities, emotions and energies at every moment of our life. To transcend into the supramental being that Sri Aurobindo envisioned for mankind, one needs to break free of these shackles and immerse oneself in the Divine and their powerful words. The epic poem, Savitri, written by Sri Aurobindo, is an ocean of mantras, with each word resonating the powerful aura of the seer. This App is a dedication to help devotees read this poem in a new light, with extreme concentration focusing on the power of each word and to imbibe the energy it sends forth, without any distraction, all at one's own pace from the comforts of one's mobile. Just open the App, read the lines, let go, flow along the tide, explore the beauty of each word and the meanings they convey to you, and let it penetrate your inner being. Let this humble offering at the Lotus feet of the Holy Mother aid you in your Sadhana.
