Reflections on Passages in Savitri:

“Remember why thou cam’st”

Larry Seidlitz

In this presentation, I would like to consider a passage from Savitri that pertains to finding the soul. In the sequence of the story, the episode comes after the princess Savitri has found her soul mate Satyavan, and married him. The sage Narad has revealed that Satyavan is destined to die in exactly one year’s time. Now she is living with Satyavan in the forest hermitage where he lives with his parents, keeping the foreknowledge of his impending death secret from both Satyavan and his parents, a terrible burden she keeps buried in her heart. In the passage we will consider, while lying sleeplessly with Satyavan one night bearing that grief, she hears a Voice from above directing her to find her soul, cast off her nature’s limitations, and conquer death. The voice delivers to her a powerful message which is applicable to all of us.
