Sri aurobindo's savitri, the harbinger of the next rung in the evolutionary process

The human civilization has reached its pinnacle of glory with a retinue of innovations that keep coming up simplifying many complex phenomena of Science and Technology. The astronomical development of mankind in many arenas also highlights the strategic channelizing of the Human Resource. Both men and women vie with each other to scale up the developmental phase. This 21st century has provided many powerful avenues for both men women to explore their full potential. Standing at the cross roads, it is high time to take stock of the ideologies down the centuries regarding the status of women. Women, in general, were relegated to a secondary position right from time immemorial as depicted in the literature of the specific periods. Though the male chauvinistic society has not bothered to acknowledge the power of women, there are many writers who raised their voices for the equanimity of the fairer sex. Among such men stalwart writers, Sri Aurobindo stands unique by sketching the impressive profile of women in his epic poem, ‘Savitri’ against a mythological canvas.
