Sri Aurobindo's agenda has the potential of capturing power

Sri Aurobindo's essay on 'National Education', published in Vande Matharam,(1910 ) must be called the National manifesto on education and must be displayed in every school/ college/ university.

Sanatan Dharma is not the name of a religion; it is a spiritual prescription for humanity. In its essential purity it is Spiritualism. Sri Aurobindo unveils it n enlarges the concepts in the context of the present n the future.

It is a wonderful thing that political leaders do not bother about Sri Aurobindo! Silence is better than misinterpretation. However, the Force of Sri Aurobindo goes on working in the Ignorance!

Were you present when Aurobindo & Mother died? You're relying on hearsay that's documented without verification & assume it to be fact. I use these documented hearsay accounts but with a fistful of salt knowing how hearsay can be fabricated or misinterpreted by vested interests..

The terms "supposedly" & "it's said" are deliberately used to avoid arrogant certitudes...the reports suggest willful negligence lead to Mother's death, while "supposedly" Aurobindo exited frustrated that his supramental aim could not be realized among unregenerates...

No. Regardless of what the esoteric meaning of the word might be, the horse sacrifice is a fact. Even Sri Aurobindo said that his theory is not intended to oppose shrauta practice but merely to explore the spiritual dimension of the shruti. https://t.co/TGL6J63pDF

I saw that tweet..he only said he will not support..btw, I have asked for learning the Veda but got shut out..🤪 for context..my opening to the Veda came in via Sri Aurobindo’s Secret of the Veda..experiences tumbled in as if it was all waiting..and imagine my condition!

I would say go through complete works of Swami Vivekananda first..to get a sense of vedantic taxonomy..just a feel for it..then Adventure of Consciousness by Satprem. Then move to Life Divine, then Synthesis of Yoga, Secret of the Veda..

For some body unfamiliar with Sri A's yoga it would be better to start with Mother's books imo. Sunlight Path? Is a good start..I https://t.co/zmECeM65oT the name from memory. Karma and rebirth of Sri A is a good book. Will give a fresh look at core ideas of Hindus..

This is the sculpture identified as "Aeon". Aeon is a tetramorph (a fourfold entity) and inscribed on Aeon's body are the 12 signs of the Zodiac -- the one becomes four becomes twelve. Aeon is the totality of the Self, and is strikingly similar to the Mother's Symbol. https://t.co/EcerHSR6uT

Schizophrenia ran in Aurobindo's family. His mother was a schizophrenic & supposedly committed suicide. All those fantasies Aurobindo had during bouts of mental illness that he gave the grand term "supramental conscious experiences" have been debunked. Consciousness is not stuff.

Your interest in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is welcome. Let's hope your comments provoke Indians to check the facts which are fairly documented. Fiction however have their own validity and utility and must not cease to flow in the tradition of Sri Aurobindo modifying many legends

To know how to wait is to have time on your side, said The Mother; patience, perseverance are key. Skill in works is the sense of an instrument and surrender which turns it into yoga, exhorted Sri Aurobindo. Sound nothing extraordinary but form the cornerstone of Integral yoga.

Studying in any university can't be seen as uniformity. Further, there is no intention or expectation of imposing it. Sri Aurobindo's future vision is competing for survival in the global marketplace of contesting ideas. Drawing inspiration is voluntary. https://t.co/IZr6lIh71U

Many thanks for responding. The question, paradoxically, is who will decide whether it's a loss or a gain. I respect your sentiments but Sri Aurobindo would say otherwise. You are aware of his psychological interpretation of the Veda. He has clearly pointed out about the "loss."
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1166078094425198592?s=19
All religions will see their demise, Sri Aurobindo has written clearly, due to growth of intellectuality. Technology and material prosperity will help accelerate the process. So, nothing to be unhappy about such a prospect. He assures a better quality of humanity and harmony.

Nothing more atrocious than imposters recommending Vivekananda as an introduction to Sri Aurobindo. So one pollutes his mind and carries that heap of garbage all his life. What Sri Aurobindo encountered in jail is his own exalted imagination of Vivekananda as the latter was dead.

Savitri Era Party is firmly against mollycoddling Hindutva or for that matter any kind of anti-Evolutionary agenda. Savitri Era Religion with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as supreme divine manifestation is the only direction towards the future. Those playing subversive games retire

Thanks for repeating their names and their enduring work. Being concerned with them, even if critically, is also a form of yoga and has transforming effect. Thus your work is better than Marxists who simply ignore him. As regards Auroville, you can pay a visit as a tourist.

All these years, I have not been overwhelmed or intimidated by dominant narratives with the firm belief that Sri Aurobindo's agenda has the potential of capturing power. I'm sure that the fault lines like Lakshmana Rekha or Radha will implode and ramshackle castles will collapse.

Trained as a school teacher and having served as one for one year, I think, I continue in the profession here on Twitter. I studied Botany and Agriculture but here I dish out a litany of subjects apart from culture. Overcoming being a philistine or a dilettante is aesthetic yoga.

A stunning cultural & intellectual destruction has occurred over last 70 years in India
'R.C. Majumdar for instance, died as recently as 1980. In my limited reading, I didn’t come across a single “mainstream” newspaper or magazine..'

Great piece by the ever BRILLIANT @Abhina_Prakash that shows the mirror to the anti-Dalit bigots masquerading as Social Justice Warriors, misogynists masquerading as feminists, islamists masquerading as secular, and imbeciles masquerading as intellectuals. https://t.co/RofwMDUwvN

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” Marx’s statement is one of the most morally resonant lines ever written. Attempts to create such a society without a roadmap is foolish & have led to disasters but the goal is certainly one worth aspiring.

Find it amusing when some tweeps ask us to write on what they want or what they believe to be the truth. When we refuse, they call us poor researchers. Irony in asking poor researchers to write on what they want is beyond them. And so is basic writing. Typical Sanghis
