Bhai..this book should help a lot...note that Talageri comes at the material from a purely scientific view..like most non sadhaks who approach the Veda..but with background of Sri Aurobindo’s Secret of the Veda and some sadhana one should be able to intuit more...

I find the secret of vedas and TalegiriJi's work complementary.

The psychological and historical perspective give a wholsome picture of the vedic age. Sri Aurobindo also encouraged historical study from the vedic literature.

SRI AUROBINDO on spiritual religion

1/14 A spiritual religion of humanity is the hope of the future. By this is not meant what is ordinarily called a universal religion, a system, a thing of creed and intellectual belief and dogma and outward rite.

Questions for followers of Aurobindo:

1) Why did Kireet Joshi stopped funds from Central Government (Congress) to the Ashram?

2) Why Rishi & the Mother donated to the French National Defense Fund, the Viceroy’s War Fund, and the Madras War Fund during 2nd WW, against Germany?

Accompanying the 3rd donation was a letter to governor of Madras in which they declared their “entire support for the British people and the Empire in their struggle against the aggression's of the Nazi Reich and our complete sympathy with the cause for which they are fighting.”

Q2: Point should be kept in mind that Indian Revolutionaries were against Brits & Germany was helping them including BOSE.

Why did he take side of Allies when they were against Japan too & Japan was helping Netaji?

Bhai..what Master looked at was the forces behind the Nazi regime, these he saw to be more detrimental to humanity and hence made it a point to publicly side with Allies in that war. India’s freedom was already foreseen and the stress was not on the immediate circumstances.

This is the same Sri Aurobindo who made it his life’s mission to free India through political and revolutionary means. But his inward growth led him to see more clearly behind the words and slogans of nations, bigger forces that determine destinies in an hour.

This might seem like wordplay, until we ourselves have glimpsed some of these powers behind. So that is my considered view. Of the KJ affair I have no clue, my interests are only in the Master and his Yoga, non-yogic dealings of the Ashram am glad to be ignorant of. Nerd face

Tricky ground bhai. It is my daily living experience that She is the Divine. The opinions of non-yogic minds really can’t help here. The decisions taken when the world was as a cauldron cannot be straightforward. Perhaps Bose might have led us forward, but now we have to lead on.

Please no "sir", just Krishna is fine.

It will be a great service if you do the map. 

Reading the Rig Vedas before and after reading secret of vedas has a night and day difference. Unfortunately not many books expanding master's works.
