Meditations on Savitri are a compilation of most essential text passages from Sri Aurobindo‘s spiritual epic poem Savitri, selected by his life-partner Mira Alfassa – The Mother. Her recitations of these passages in English language were recorded on tape. About Sri Aurobindo’s art of poetry Mira Alfassa – The Mother says: “I see Sri Aurobindo’s expression in its poetic form, it has a charm and a simplicity – a simplicity and a softness and a moving charm – that puts you in direct contact with the ‘Real Thing’ much more intimately than all those things of the head.“ The compilation of the text passages served as basis for the creation of 468 visionary paintings created by the painter Huta Hindocha according to sketches and specifications given by Mira Alfassa – The Mother. These 468 paintings received the name Meditations on Savitri by Mira Alfassa – The Mother. Then, also under the title Meditations on Savitri, the production of a series of 12 movie presentations of all the Meditations on Savitri paintings combined with the recitations of Mira Alfassa – The Mother and her own organ music began. The series was produced by the movie artist Michel Montecrossa with the blessings of Mira Alfassa – The Mother, who – again with her blessings – built up the Filmaur Multimedia Company for finalizing in its studios the Meditations on Savitri movie series. On the following pages of this book the Savitri text passages Book IV to V, chosen by Mira Alfassa – The Mother, are published in English and German along with the reproductions of the relevant paintings. The images related to the text passages can furthermore be experienced in a spiritually uplifting and awareness intensifying way as animated film art synchronized with the original English soundtrack of the recitations and the music by Mira Alfassa – The Mother released on DVDs and downloads featuring the complete Meditations on Savitri movie series. Thus the Meditations on Savitri series is a grand holistic creation of movie art, authorized by Mira Alfassa – The Mother revealing the vastness, the meaning and the consciousness of Sri Aurobindo’s spiritual epic poem Savitri through the expressive art of poetry, recitation, music, paintings and movie art created by Sri Aurobindo, Mira Alfassa – The Mother, Huta Hindocha and Michel Montecrossa.
