Replying to
After The Philosophy of Freedom Steiner went into a direction not considered philosophy but we can say Anthroposophy is a new kind of philosophy & spiritual path. Aurobindo's integral yoga is another. Deleuze followed Nietzsche. Gurdjieff & his students. Heidegger is overrated.
Replying to
Yes, Tom Last said as much (& issued first Hoernle trans). Still, PoF should be taken on its own. BTW it's said Deleuze actually attained realization similar to RS path, on his own. In 60s-70s, Scaligero refined "living thinking" and today there is Ben-Aharon's "cognitive yoga."
In this webinar, join us with Dr. Sampadananda Mishra who will revisit the principles, core teachings, the Shastras, and practices, in the light of Sri Aurobindo's yoga.

Alok Pandey: How I came to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother
Yes . Here's the problem. Rajani was always shown challenging the bureaucrats but not the political leadership
"History, after all, is born of its subjects – flawed and human.
That is how it should be told."
For , I write on reading Patrick French & what it taught me as biographer & a historian.
This book came to me when I most needed it. Here’s a link to my review of Mystics and Sceptics in the - Book Review | Masters and seekers unravel philosophy of the Himalayas
The thing about the absolute values— if they exist —is that no further reason can be given, because they are the reasons for everything else. Health is an example of absolute value. If someone asks me “why do you want to be healthy?”, I can only respond with a tautology: 1/2
it’s better to be healthy than not healthy. No further reason can really be given as to why health should be valued because it it that for the sake of which I do all sorts of other activities or the place where explanation terminates for those things. 2/3
If absolute values exist, then presumably there would be similar teloi in the case of morality. 3/3
RSS is a pedagogical organisation and therefore its approach towards the people is, unmistakably, to teach and mould their opinions. The govt treats the citizens accordingly and dissent doesn't receive the deserved respect. The democratic atmosphere is constrained to that extent.
Nothing happens without the concurrence of evolution and hence it's necessary to judge political tidings with enormous caution. Instead of nourishing a negative view of all measures of the govt of the day, a nuanced approach is very much in order. Blind support too is undesirable.
Coming in contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at a very young age saved me from reading religious books of other traditions and, thus, undergoing a lot of possible confusion. Most people, unfortunately, are unwilling to avail this immense benefit despite sufficient awareness.
Books and magazines that I've read relating to Sri Aurobindo are of highly intellectual stuff. But they have been quite entertaining apart from being informative on so many fronts. The basic lesson is to be aware of the existence of an unseen reality behind all things and actions.
The philosophy of Sri Aurobindo (1872 – 1950) is often compared with that of his contemporaries like Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925), George Gurdjieff (1866 – 1949), René Guénon (1886 – 1951), and Frithjof Schuon (1907 – 1998). But, important to note that the Vedic vision is unique.
Not a single scholar on Sri Aurobindo is active in Twitter. Therefore, there is a paucity of informed discussion on his philosophy and political theory. Apart from a few of his own books, scores of books written by his disciples and devotees never get any chance to be mentioned.
Letters to the Editor I used to write in the last century were rarely published but Twitter has solved that problem, in this century. Participating in the democracy as a common man stands fulfilled. I also write as a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for the last sixty years.

Savitri Era Party has been in existence since 2007 but not many have heard of it save some stalwarts on Twitter. Devoted to the vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it provides an alternative ideology and methodology. It differs from many of their followers and devotees, too.
