Description

"Savitri (Conquest of Death)" is a powerful poetic retelling of the legendary tale of Savitri, not merely as mythology but as a profound allegory of the human spirit and its boundless resilience. Blending the grandeur of an epic with the intimacy of personal reflection, this poem takes readers on a journey through lush forests, the silent realm of Death, and the radiant planes of spiritual strength.

At the heart of the story is Savitri, the wise and courageous princess of Madra, whose unwavering love for her husband Satyavan defies fate itself. As she faces Yama, the Lord of Death, Savitri does not rely on force, but on intellect, compassion, and unshakeable devotion. Her triumph becomes a timeless symbol of feminine strength and empowerment.

This poem is more than a retelling-it is a celebration of women's agency, leadership, and the power of love and determination. With lyrical depth and philosophical nuance, Savitri (Conquest of Death) offers a fresh perspective on an ancient tale, resonating deeply with modern readers seeking meaning, strength, and spiritual insight.
