Editions of Savitri:

How and Why Do They Differ?

Publisher's Note

 

A new edition of Savitri was brought out in 1993 by the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust. This edition was the result of many years of intensive work. Sri Aurobindo's manuscripts were carefully compared with all copies, typescripts and printed texts. Wherever it was found that his lines had been copied, typed or printed differently from what he wrote or dictated, the lines were restored to their authentic form.

     As there has been some misunderstanding regarding this edition, we publish here five statements by members of the Ashram. Readers having questions or seeking further clarification may write to the Copyright Department, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry 605002.
