More about the book
The original composition of Cantos for Recitation belongs to the period April-June 2002 as a part of The Birth of Savitṛa which also has brief one-paragraph synopses of each canto of Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, forty-nine cantos in twelve Books of the epic as a whole. Recently this work has been revised extensively, 5 - 10 May 2020, and is issued as a second edition under the title The Birth of the Sun-God. The date of composition of each Canto appears along with it. The present format is specifically designed for the recitation of the entire set of Cantos individually or collectively. It should take about hour and a half to do it in a voice not too low or too loud. It is believed that the power of the sound which comes from poised silence is richer than the mere attempt of reading and understanding the text. In fact Ghana Recitation can have a massive effect urging even the very physical to participate in its creative process.
