Editing Savitr (section)

==Hindu revivalism==
Some modern Hindu spiritual thinkers assign symbolism to the Vedic deities like Savitr. The Vedic deities are not only forces of nature, but also forces that exist within the human intellect and psyche, and help the individual in spiritual progress.<ref name=AurobindoSecret/>

According to [[Sri Aurobindo]], the Vedic depictions are deeper than mere imagery. The gods, goddesses and the evil forces mentioned in the Vedas represent various cosmic powers. They play a significant role in the drama of creation, preservation, and destruction in the inner world of a human being.<ref name=AurobindoSecret>{{cite book |author=Aurobindo, Sri |author-link=Sri Aurobindo |title=The Secret of the Vedas}}{{full citation needed|needs publisher, year, publ. place|date=November 2019}}</ref>

Once the senses are controlled and the mind is stabilized through slaying of all the dark powers, comes the awakening, the goddess Ushas, who brings along with her Ashvins into the world of inner consciousness. After Ushas appears Aditi, the Primal Sun, the God of Light: First as Savitr, who represents the divine grace essential for all spiritual success, and then as Mitra, who as the divine love is considered as a friend of the illumined mind (Indra) and his associates (the other gods). The Sun is of Truth, after which appear [[Rta]] (Truth in Action) and Rtachit (Truth consciousness).<ref name=AurobindoSecret/>
