🌻. Death and Return of Satyavan - 2 🌻

Yama was surprised about her fearlessness and was pleased with her. He asked her many questions which she answered very well. 

He felt affectionate to Savitri and finally said, “I grant you three wishes – except the life of your husband.” At first Savitri asked that her father-in-law should get back his vision and his kingdom, and Yama granted it. 

Then she asked him, “Bless me with children”, and he replied, “granted”. Then she replied, “This means that you have to give back the life of my husband.”

The Lord of Death was perplexed and only then understood the subtleness of her argument, for she wouldn’t accept a second husband. He smiled and said, “It is the will of the Lord that I don’t take away the life of your husband.” 

Thus he gave back his life. Savitri and Satyavan returned back home; her father-in-law got back his vision and his kingdom.

The narrative of Savitri and Satyavan is like the story of Isis and Osiris or of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. 

Savitri stands for the light of the inner consciousness which follows the soul buried deep within matter and leads it up again. 

The truth bearer has lost the truth but he finds it back, because the consciousness, the Light in darkness, is always with him. 

The more we listen to the Savitri in us, the voice of conscience, the easier it is for us to return to the Light.
