Harmonious blend of socialism, realism, and individualism

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The whole world is a victim of wrong narratives and fake news. Apart from political and religious establishments, various civil society institutions are also perpetrating this practice. People have no means to check facts. Each individual should be aware of this danger and act.

Political delusion is preventing many educated people from appreciating Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. For them some icons of social justice and ethics are more important. Yogic vision of Sri Aurobindo which transcends ordinary morality is overlooked. Sharpening of intellect needed.

Universities in India are deaf to upgrading syllabi and Sri Aurobindo continues to be outside their curriculum. There's no rationale why outdated knowledge is fed to the young students. Instead of promoting mythology, Govt should take steps to impart right philosophical education.
