Savitri PaintingSavitri is Sri Aurobindo's revelatory mantric epic poem. The Mother has referred to it as "the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision". The writing of Savitri extended over much of the later part of Sri Aurobindo's life. The first known manuscript dates from 1916. By around 1930 he had begun to turn it into an epic with a larger scope and deeper significance. Transformed into 'A Legend and a Symbol' Savitri became his major literary work which he continued to expand and perfect until his last days. In the late 1940s, when his eyesight was failing, he took the help of a scribe, Nirodbaran, and dictated the extensive final stages of revision. It was the last thing he worked on, a few days before leaving his body in December 1950.
