They never claimed success nor relinquished hope

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From June 1, 2026 to June 6, 2026)

Quitting my job of a Bank officer in 2000, I launched Savitri Era Learning Forum in 2005 for spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At 70, I look back with satisfaction how people are unable to appreciate their greatness, significance, or relevance. So, a lot to do!

Media regularly reports success stories but assuming that the same can be replicated by others is an illusion. The ontological ubiquitousness of a unique individual can't be overshadowed by patterns or preexisting templates. A surprise element therefore always lurks in the wings.

Sri Aurobindo had a lifelong engagement with poetry and literature. From Homer to Dante and Milton to Whitman, it was a vast sweep consummating with Valmiki, Vyasa, and Kalidasa. The light and delight of all these streams were distilled for writing Savitri as an ode to The Mother. 

Comte’s Religion of Humanity influenced Bankim who fused it with Keshub Chandra Sen's Bhakti and Naba Bidhan to craft Anushilan. Sri Aurobindo's Integral yoga flows from it and also his chapter on Religion of Humanity. Tagore further modifies this in his Religion of Man lectures.

Savitri Era Religion requires worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their love, compassion, and grace. This is absolutely voluntary and free from the tyranny of any mythology, rituals, or fixed practice. Reading their books is also optional.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo validates itself on an elegant logic of evolutionary inevitability. It's like the simple fact that if I catch Shantipur Local I will reach Shantipur within an hour and a half. Jonathan Livingston Seagull paints this tension beautifully. 

New parties are being launched, but Savitri Era Party (2007) is confident of introducing new politics in the country on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary philosophy. Establishing an egalitarian atmosphere by abolishing all kinds of reservations is one target.

This User name business inaugurated a new era of deception. Fake profiles and bios became the order of the day. Enticing DPs turned a success formula. Of course, make-ups enable to put up a false appearance, which is accepted as culture. In that sense, this legitimacy is age-old!

Sri Aurobindo started publishing his writings in 1893. Thereafter, he wrote in different phases from which several authoritative books appeared. The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo consists of 36 volumes: incarnateword.in/cwsa. Besides, Collected Works of the Mother are there.

The genesis of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, a hundred years back ploughed through many complex and ambiguous circumstances. Identifying her as the Divine Mother was not a very welcoming situation nor was putting her in charge of all day-to-day affairs and spiritual guidance.

Savitri Era Religion recommends worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine instead of bothering about the modalities of Integral yoga. Reading books is also not mandatory. It's the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of mythology or rituals. 

Commenting on international affairs and geopolitical speculation is an addition. Signalling that you are among the handful of top intelligent persons on the planet is absolutely gratifying. It's assured that no one is going to follow your recommendations nor check their efficacy.

It's heartening to observe that multi-party democracy is having a free-play in our country. Media too is diverse, multi-layered, and financially viable. But lack of any ideological-glue privileges charisma and oratory. Savitri Era Party is dedicated to Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started the Ashram as a laboratory for eradicating human imperfection by transformation of nature through application of higher consciousness. They never claimed success nor relinquished hope. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine.

New knowledge yoked with a robust ethical paradigm

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 26, 2026 to May 31, 2026)

Consulting Sri Aurobindo might throw some light.

https://x.com/i/status/2059139333211521126

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings are the most authentic and relevant on many scores. They are not very popular because general education system has been keeping them aside. Further, most intellectuals are unaware of their worth. So self-study is best. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Gadkari was the president and once Amit Shah was sitting on a bench outside his room to meet him, in front of me.

AI has discovered that our thoughts and emotions are not private. They come from outside which ratifies Sri Aurobindo's view. So the primary template can be computed from which our ongoing recipes take shape. Accordingly robots are going to give us company in many facets of life.

Savitri Era Religion entails worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, so that one can make sense of the world with precision, from that fixed point. Any external affinity is liable to destabilise that equilibrium and introduce purblindness. Caveat emptor!

Savitri Era Party (2007) believes that, following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for many of our problems. A firm ontological understanding of our surroundings is a basic requirement. Further, a corresponding ethical compass is an indispensable tool. #FiveDreams

Politics doesn't mean publicity, although it can sustain for a while. Most parties are experiencing a decline due to lack of any definite ideology. The Life Divine constitutes the highest political ideal for humanity. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo amounts to collaboration.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals because Sri Aurobindo has denoted Vedic deities as psychological principles in his epochal, The Secret of the Veda. It also dovetails perfectly with his thesis of adventure of consciousness, as delineated in The Life Divine.

Janata Party hasn't lost charm, but witnessing the years leading to its formation was a great experience. Had attended the founding conference of BLD (People’s Party of India) at Bhubaneswar which later merged into Janata Party. Its symbol was adapted fom that of the Pragati Dal.

All kinds of music is popular in West Bengal except Odia. It's unfortunate that people are unaware of the great classics of Sandhya Mukherjee, Nirmala Mishra, Sipra Basu, and Aarati Mukherjee, et al. though the language is not very difficult to understand.

It will be too early to bracket the present incumbent with the other two. I think, he is different and hints at basic incongruities.

Insights from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can enhance the relevance of these observations in a great way.

Using Sri Aurobindo for justifying Hindutva smacks of ignorance. Selectively quoting from his Uttarpara speech turns the entire project of his life into its opposite. Savitri Era Party (2007) stands for human unity and harmony based on his #FiveDreamsManifesto of August 14, 1947.

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been harping on not to mortgage your intelligence to the deceptive propaganda of various political parties, since 2005. Instead of following logic and sanity, young people are ready to follow the anarchic model of insects!

Modi-devotees continue to misrepresent The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform, misguiding people in general. Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) are doing their best to fight this menace. Ultimately, the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will win.

Sri Aurobindo has to be understood and appreciated through the process of elimination. Not Gandhi nor Nehru. Not Vivekananda nor Tagore. Not Subhas nor M.N. Roy. Not Radhakrishnan nor Periyar. Not Ambedkar nor Savarkar. Not Lohia nor Deendayal. Not Ram Swarup, nor Sita Ram Goel.

Best thing of this platform is character limit. Half my time goes in squeezing thoughts. Metro stations are being renamed, but there should be a character limit. Otherwise, they become jokes. #YouTube is imposing multiple ads for 10-15 minutes for listening to a 2-3 minutes song.

Socio-political issues are multiplying but the Parliament is totally aloof. Judiciary is grappling with many issues but it has limits. Media chases TRP and experts are rarely consulted. If democracy can't handle finding solutions to problems through discussion, then it's in vain.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent new light and knowledge, new vision and consciousness, new compassion and grace. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine can transform our lives, and spread harmony in the society. Let's collaborate with the evolutionary march of the earth.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo give us new knowledge yoked with a robust ethical paradigm. It's a great synthesis with roots in diverse streams. But the crucial feature is The Mother's grace, which is activated by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo has some social commentary type writings which he did at various points of time. They are stray comments and have own contexts, but shouldn't be taken seriously. Reading The Life Divine and The Secret of the Veda is essential. All else should be seen in their light.

Savitri Era Religion discards mythology and rituals. It doesn't recommend any fixed system of yoga. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, without any connection with other religions or philosophies, is essential. Aspiration for their grace is the task.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo never promised any miracle. Their philosophy and psychology are thoroughly theoretical without the promise of any assured result. Their work is subject to evolutionary exigencies and machinations of ignorance. Our job is to believe in them with loyalty.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, CJP, and Congress. It believes that the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will unfold, inevitably. Therefore, it is not much concerned about ground level visibility. Ensuring ideological accuracy is more important.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been taking baby-steps for building a community of people interested in spirituality and yoga, hundred years back. The Arya writings are there but a way has to be found for translating the philosophy into reality. 15.8.1926: incarnateword.in/compilations/s

Sri Aurobindo launched a massive narrative war in 1914 by publishing The Secret of the Veda in a monthly magazine. But neither LW nor RW feel the call to understand the epochal significance of his symbolic interpretations with implications for history, literature, and archeology.

Significance of Flowers by The Mother is a great guide

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 21, 2026 to May 25, 2026) 

Plays and movies have the unenviable task of translating philosophy into concrete human drama. They have to have a careful eye for blending right doses of nine rasas to entertain successfully. Highlighting good against a contrast is a challenge. Besides sub-texts are a minefield.

With seventy long years of experience in life in diverse circumstances, I don't claim to have any settled views. Postmodernism gifted me that perspective and hence I don't recommend to take The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings as self-evident truth. Worshipping them is constant.

Before Camus resurrecting Sisyphus, Schiller had invoked Tantalus as if they are the warp and woof of human condition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, by contrast, expect higher consciousness transforming infirmities. Their own Messianic role, however, is a crucial element. Take it... 

Authpur (actually, আতপুর or Atpur) has Athpur Sub Post Office-743128. It falls under Jagaddal Police Station, Jagaddal Assembly Constituency, Bhatpara Municipality, Barrackpore Lok Sabha Constituency, North 24 Parganas District, West Bengal. Nearest Railway station is Shyamnagar.

Mohapatra Nilamani Sahoo ମହାପାତ୍ର ନୀଳମଣି ସାହୁ (22 December 1926–25 June 2016) is a respected name in Odia literature. He was also an ardent devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as well as a perceptive student of their philosophy, yoga, and Integral education throughout his life.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, CJP, & the Congress for the simple reason that they lack ideology and ethics. Many are clamouring that economic issues are fundamental but the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo teaches that deeper evolutionary causes are there.

Just remembered that, I had watched a movie called Melody at Gadag, while touring Karnataka in 2015. Couldn't understand the dialogue but music and picturisation was nice. Rajesh Krishnan was the lead actor and playback singer whose real-life was depicted.

Without framing it as before or after, Sri Aurobindo would offer an Integral view of consciousness, around the same time.

But both agree on the evolutionary possibilities, I suppose.

https://x.com/i/status/2056794046375526592

The Chief Justice has said that the Constitution is our shared home and belongs to everyone. But why are its core values flouted more than abided by? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore insist on the bedrock of spirituality. Significance of Flowers by The Mother is a great guide. 

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been demanding abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution of India. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for ushering in human unity and world peace. #FiveDreamsManifesto

After five years of his famous Uttarpara speech Sri Aurobindo started publishing his most ambitious book in a serial form in the Arya monthly magazine. Apart from The Life Divine a few others like The Synthesis of Yoga, The Secret of the Veda, & The Human Cycle were also started.

Savitri Era Party expects people to be conscious and proactive, instead of being used as herds by different political parties and religious or cultural organisations. Liberty is futile without agency. Educated people not being able to appreciate Sri Aurobindo is a colossal error.

Absolutely amazing that highly politically-conscious intellectuals are eager to put their money with fly-by-night operators in search of quick-fix solutions. Like carnivals, anarchist tendencies have their own attraction, but the costs may be quite considerable. Restraint needed. 

Mamata Banerjee can be said to be the most experienced politician in the country today. Those who have seen her at every protest as an irreverent voice know how arduous has been her long journey. Her popularity is still intact and can propel her to the logical slot at the Centre.

I understand your sentiment but she still commands 40 percent vote share. I was hinting at a possible leading role for her at the Centre since there is a vacuum in the opposition space. Whatever her shortcomings, there is no doubt that she is a seasoned leader with Left leanings.

That seems to be obvious but may be a blessings in disguise too. Not many people have a national recognition or appeal today, but she can generate instant following on several fronts. Muslims, women, workers, farmers, and far too many far-flung constituents can kick her upstairs.

Like Vastu, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo value balance and harmony. That doesn't mean they rule out upheavals but take them as a means for achieving the greater good. Thus, aspiration for concord and not anarchy is important. But that shouldn't be a pretext for dumbing down people.

Sri Aurobindo predicted #WorldUnion as a part of #FiveDreamsManifesto, but his followers generally talk about it in an abstract manner. Politics involves ground, and with this aim in view, I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007 so that this evolutionary possibility takes shape.

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 2005. No other person or institution is involved with this activity, spanning over two decades. I have not received any funding or sponsorship, from any source.

Each person has a unique trajectory in life and accordingly carries a particular understanding of it. Commenting on the behaviour of other persons or generalising interpersonal situations, therefore, is prone to error. From the spiritual perspective, each one is playing his role.

With Sputnik, space age began two years after I was born and Yuri Gagarin became the first space traveller in another four years. Those were the times and Nehru was not the only person for advocating scientific temper. Defending Modernity, therefore, is an ongoing political task.

Integral education is not about schools and colleges alone. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent lifelong learning. Physical world survives due to high degree of economy, adaptation, and resilience. Our different faculties should imbibe similar capabilities on a continuous basis.

One handle lamented that her parents didn't teach her agency. Then the story took a new turn everyday. Since evidence was tampered with generously her photographs were tampered with with renewed glee. She has been consigned to flames but now it's difficult to know how she looked!

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case created sensation last year. It's surprising that the cause of Air India crash in Ahmedabad remains shrouded in mystery even after one year. Eliminating Chandranath Rath buried many dark secrets of which there would be many political beneficiaries.

I have defied The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by deifying them

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Being in the Social media, people have forgotten about decency and politeness. Democracy requires these qualities in huge quantity. Treating the other person as adversary has become very common. But the basic principle of Political science is to respect diverse shades of opinion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Parliament has become redundant due to spread of Internet. All are interested in LitFests, Conclaves, Podcasts, or Dialogues. Good for democracy but open discussion is a casualty. People fear opposing ideas. Instead of examining rival claims the tendency is to ignore like Ostrich #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion traces its origin to the first meeting between Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) & The Mother (1878-1973) in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. It regards them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were never very optimistic about morality since they felt being part of the rational domain, it's liable to fail at crucial junctures. Their stress is on spirituality, i.e., rising to a higher level of consciousness. Surpassing ethics is another option. #TusarNathMohapatra

Sri Aurobindo was just twenty when he started advising the then veteran Congress leaders through his writings in the Indu Prakash. His political insights right from the beginning were so extraordinary. Even the British were hard pressed in finding fault with his impeccable logic. #TusarNathMohapatra

Since all norms and ethics have been flouted in the current war, it's out in the open, how our civilisation is nothing but utter deception. Savitri Era Party reiterates that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for securing human unity and world peace. #FiveDreams #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met in Puducherry for the first time on March 29, 1914. It was a French colony, then. The whole mythology around this event undeniably makes Savitri Era Religion a global player. Conquest of death is a basic existential aspiration that Savitri voices. #TusarNathMohapatra

I don't think, the Constitution of India enjoins to read or be guided by any particular text. That's something really emancipatory given the social pressure built by various motivated groups to push their agenda. Extracting money through commerce becomes their ultimate intention. #TusarNathMohapatra

Civil society, Public sphere, or Open and free discourse are important elements in a democracy. This is not happening despite Communication and Technology. Savitri Era Party maintains that the nation, religion, or castes shouldn't override basic demands of democratic functioning. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is against all religions and Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to all other parties. That's how I have formulated The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance for the present without any ambivalence or hypocrisy. Seems blunt but precise for new generation. #TusarNathMohapatra

Integral yoga is basically for beginners. One feels confident by reading the meticulous instructions provided by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But by applying one aspect after another, one discovers that it's impossible to practice them, simultaneously. Hence, Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Despite high level of education, information, and communication, people are willingly espousing the views of the party, religion, or nation. Savitri Era Party has been persisting in spreading the just and rational standpoints by drawing insights from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Life Divine hasn't percolated to the general consciousness. I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 for this purpose. Launched Savitri Era Religion with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine in 2006. Set up Savitri Era Party in 2007 for #FiveDreams. #TusarNathMohapatra

Meeting of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914 was a profound geopolitical event. It's also not without significance that The Life Divine appeared in Arya monthly magazine coinciding with the period of the First World War. Need to understand the evolutionary intention. #TusarNathMohapatra

The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't aim at producing self-realised persons. It's a path for guidance in life from the young age to the old age. Since the needs at each stage of life is different, the manifold facets of their philosophical formulations come in handy. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother came from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. They started Arya on August 15, 1914 in which The Life Divine began to be published. Significantly the First World War also started the same month. Historians are yet to notice this important fact. #TusarNathMohapatra

When we see nations are fighting among themselves, and playing the game of war like school-boys; then it becomes evident how Savitri Era Religion is relevant. The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has in it the evolutionary force and light, which alone can administer peace. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, at many places, have advised to transcend the ego. Many confuse it with pride. But the real task is not to organise life around oneself but to relate to others. This involvement with others can be said to be the genesis of politics and allied ethics. #TusarNathMohapatra

Political science has been evolving over the centuries and hence keeping abreast is important. Mythology has many merits but Modernity is much more demanding in terms of responding to diversity. Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, adjusts its sails. #TusarNathMohapatra

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational alternative. Crucial to reiterate that it facilitates the converts to be retained within the Vedic fold. Besides, it is in sync with science and psychology. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party maintains that castes are an aberration in modern India and hence should forfeit Constitutional sanction. Demands of realpolitik however prompt us to send overtures to the General castes to opt for Savitri Era Religion. A similar invitation to Dalits stands too. #TusarNathMohapatra

Without any demonstrable competence, I don't recommend yoga or spirituality. Young generation however should know that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and psychology are unsurpassable and intellectual assimilation of their metaphysical framework has a transforming effect. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion, no doubt, has global aspirations and the current war in Middle East makes it all the more relevant in view of The Mother's background from there. However, Savitri Era Party is unable to take sides since the way of evolution is so nebulous. We pray for peace! #TusarNathMohapatra

A radical shift occurs when art turns a profesion and a means for making money. Making a name is the next step and popularity proves to be a prison. Aesthetics therefore is forever in search of that liminal space where an iota extra makes medicine a poison. So proportion matters. #TusarNathMohapatra

The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo plumb the depths in so many directions that it's impossible to fathom their significance in any coherent manner. Seeking their grace at the outset therefore is an indispensable condition. This is the very premise of Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Marxist economic theories proved to be unreliable in the last century but Marxist thought continues to provide a robust scaffolding to Modernity. Though inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo Savitri Era Party espouses rational and verifiable propositions instead of occult domain #TusarNathMohapatra

Art to alphabet was a great stride for humanity and this platform facilitates instant worldwide communication. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have left behind a vast reservoir of writing of epochal nature. Sharing their message is the best way for resolving myriad problems facing us. #TusarNathMohapatra

As the greatest ever lover of humanity remains a stranger in his own country even in the age of Internet and AI, question arises about the efficacy of knowledge, information, and technology. If I could know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in a remote village in 1964, why others can't. #TusarNathMohapatra

Democracy is the greatest gift that the British gave us but it continues to be Colonial, Imperial, or Mythological in many respects. Some learned men are suggesting anointing religious heads for guiding people. Savitri Era Party opposes pre-Modern or extra-Constitutional notions. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hegel had watched Napoleon and its effect on him rendered his otherwise grand system of philosophy a bit clumsy by being tethered to history. Heidegger too had been carried away by Hitler. The Great Man effect is, indeed, very powerful. Reading Sri Aurobindo is the best antidote. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been demanding govt recognition to Savitri Era Religion (2006) so that Hindus and Dalits have a viable alternative in case they contemplate conversion. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine can retain them within Vedic fold. #TusarNathMohapatra

It's obvious that I have defied The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by deifying them under the Savitri Era Religion (2006). I also avoid the chapter and verse, literalist approach since I'm, basically, addressing outsiders who might be sharing my disenchantment with mythology and rituals. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hindutva exponents find in Nehru an easy whipping-boy for rendering secularisation but the whole Brahmo influence down to Tagore is conveniently overlooked. Needless to say that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo built on those foundations which prompted me to found Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo makes us understand that the Veda is not about analysis of the text or meticulous chanting. Knowing the inner meaning of a handful of terms can transform our whole perspective. Like Indra means mind which controls the five Indriyas. #TusarNathMohapatra

It feels demeaning for me at times to teach alphabet after a lifelong engagement with intellectuality but realisation dawns that there's no better privilege than what The Mother has bestowed on me. Billions of people don't know Sri Aurobindo and they needn't read The Life Divine. #TusarNathMohapatra

Devotees should ask themselves whether they are worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. If not, they are constantly deluding themselves as other ontologies are faulty. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity and world peace. Savitri Era Religion is the only solution for collaboration with evolution for descent of the Supramental consciousness and Vedic light, force, and Immortality. #FiveDreams #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era narrative is against imaginary past glory of India and allied themes like Ayurveda, Astrology, Mythology, Rituals, Sanskrit, Hindu chauvinism, Hindu Rashtra, & Monarchy. Savitri Era Party seeks to uphold democratic spirit and ethics on Sri Aurobindo's line of thought. #TusarNathMohapatra

I consciously avoid making petty comments or favourite pastimes like outraging or trolling. I'm seventy and unlike others have read The Life Divine. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have placed a huge responsibility on my shoulders. I try to carry it out despite existential constraints #TusarNathMohapatra

Auroville took birth today, in 1968, with much hope and aspiration. Sadly, what we see today is a complete negation. It is not supposed to be another satellite town, like Noida. There has to be some speciality and sanctity about the place. Who can do that? Who should decide that? #TusarNathMohapatra

Philosophy in its purity should be able to tell us the mystery of certain basic issues. The Abcd of Philosophy are our Aim, Birth, Choice, and Death. In The Mother and Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, we find a complete explanation of these phenomena issuing from an Integral ontology. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion resists the challenge posed by Hindutva

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Some discussion on Sri Aurobindo was going on three-four years back due to his 150th Birth anniversary. It has dried up altogether. Funding has stopped, and so, Scholars have fallen silent. At the moment, no one has anything to do with Sri Aurobindo except our Copy-paste brigade.

Sabarimala hearing is throwing interesting arguments vis-à-vis religion. As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), I am offering justifications for it, although it is well known that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against starting any new religion. Legal recognition is a must.

Love, devotion, and loyalty towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo forms the right path in the present situation. Extraneous affiliations or sympathies can misguide. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party show how discarding dominant models of philosophy or politics is essential.

I'm a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1964; Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005), President, Savitri Era Party (2007), and Founder, Savitri Era Religion (2006): savitriera.blogspot.com. Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be kept confined to Uttarpara or Puducherry.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings blossomed in the last century, when modern and liberal ideals were valued. This century witnessed forceful challenge to the same orchestrated by Hindutva. Savitri Era Party (2007) continues its lone battle of opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books or practicing Integral yoga. Love, devotion, and loyalty towards them, and seeking their grace and compassion by an attitude of surrender and gratitude is the only requirement. No mythology or rituals.

Turned out a nationwide election speech by the Prime Minister. So, the whole drama was conceived as a context for this speech. It's shameful that Prime Minister of India acts in such a deceitful manner. How this kind of deceptive step is supported by educated people is beyond me.

Despite doubtful prospects, asserting that our party is going to win comfortably is the most deceptive act by its leaders and supporters. Democracy forces such hypocrisy upon people leading to intellectual dishonesty. Once taken root corruption becomes common without compunction.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine warrants loss of respect for their famous contemporaries. They have their place in history or literature and culture but from the point of view of evolutionary trajectory many of them were obstacles like Subhas Bose

Being born and brought up in a village, I have first-hand experiences of poverty, deprivation, and superstitions. Therefore, I support modern and liberal values gifted by the West. As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since childhood, it's natural for me to oppose Hindutva.

Election campaign is on in West Bengal but I don't know why Gandhi is being drafted to Shyamnagar. Incidentally the Chief Justice today set the record straight on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. But can West Bengal accept it? I wish Sri Aurobindo adorned the pedestal at Power House!

A decent hold on Western philosophy is essential for grasping the true import of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Similarly acquaintance with Modern psychology facilitates understanding The Mother's framework of yoga. Integral education draws insights from all these disparate spheres.

Many have been misguided by Ram Swarup, Sita Ram Goel, Arun Shourie, Rajiv Malhotra et al. As President of Savitri Era Party (2007), I am confident that one day people will return to the real knowledge unveiled by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Impartiality and unselfishness needed.

Evil is intrinsic to any ontology, like death being an integral part of life. Similarly, crime can't be eradicated from any society and its diverse patterns may narrow down depending upon sample size. But assuming that the perpetrators belong to any specific religion is specious.

There are many miseries that can be ameliorated through sympathetic human effort. Political domain is basically that but partisanship and corruption hinder such motive. Still then all can't be blamed on human weakness. Evolutionary intention for perpetuating suffering responsible

I have met many people in life who are much more intelligent and well-read than me, but were not able to accept The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. This is because they didn't apply their intellect adequately owing to allegiance to attractions elsewhere. The same thing happens here also.

India is undergoing ideological flux and political vacuum. Savitri Era Party is confident that Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreamsManifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947 will catch imagination. His stellar role in Congress split in Surat in 1907, and Uttarpara speech of 1909 are crucial.

My posts don't reach even a hundred people but I have been telling something unique. I am the only person opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress. Further, I am presenting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in a revisionist mode by entangling them in religion and politics savitriera.blogspot.com

Any consideration on man or society needs to consult The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo, without fail. Bypassing the evolutionary view of the future is nothing but entering a blind alley. Sri Aurobindo added the last six chapters after a gap of two decades. incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/man-an…

No scholar dealing with India can afford to ignore Sri Aurobindo. His model of nationalism dovetailing with human unity and harmony is an inescapable vision, with evolutionary import. The Human Cycle examines examples from history for deciphering patterns. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25

Hindutva enthusiasts are always eager to appropriate Sri Aurobindo but skip spending time with his voluminous books. I have been warning that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't be amalgamated with any other philosophy or guru. Savitri Era Religion ensures that one stays the course.

There is no dearth of resources on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo online, today, but the problem of right orientation remains. Hindutva sticks to the Uttarpara speech while scholars emphasise on meditation and yoga. Some intellectuals keep on conflating him with sundry personalities.

Please take care to provide correct spelling for Proper nouns. Further, citing the source would be helpful.

"Ritual has become a hollow performance of excess," writes @milindbm, linking it to the rise of Hindutva. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, precisely, highlights this aspect, which is the root of hypocrisy. Sabarimala hearings should take note.

The Life Divine is the most profound religious book in the world. Its first chapter was published on August 15, 1914 in the monthly magazine Arya which continued till 1919. It appeared as a book during 1939-1940 after Sri Aurobindo revised and expanded it. incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-hu…

Savitri Era Religion (2006), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is the most modern and rational alternative. No mythology or rituals, no initiation ceremony.

The undulating journey towards the Life Divine

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Applying The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings to own life and surroundings can take various forms. Performative show of those connected with institutions can be warped. Similarly, advocacy assignments may engender exaggeration. My vantage point is past a rosy, romantic picture.

Congress banished Sri Aurobindo from curriculum. Therefore, many thought BJP to make amends and supported it. However, I have been warning against any compatibility between Hindutva and Sri Aurobindo. Now that BJP is trying to wriggle out of Hindutva, Savitri Era Party may rejig.

Integral yoga is personal but Savitri Era Religion (2006) is a collective identity. Each devotee has the responsibility to declare affiliation voluntarily so that new generation feels confident of finding value and security. Children of many devotees have drifted away after 1973.

I came to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo owing to a lot of hard work and sacrifice by the direct disciples. Thousands of devotees are engaged in the same spirit, today. Publicity is essential but lack of an identifiable brand is a huge lacuna. Savitri Era Religion is the answer.

I studied BSc,BEd with Botany honours in college along with Agriculture as vocational education and Statistics. For CAIIB exam in Punjab National Bank I studied Commercial Law, Banking, Foreign Exchange, Accountancy, and Economic Geography. I studied Western Philosophy on my own.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who preside over the evolutionary march is the new ontology of Savitri Era Religion. They represent East-West synthesis and human unity. Devoid of any mythology or ritual, it's the most modern and rational religion.

Savitri Era Party has the advantage of not eulogising India's imaginary, past glory nor denouncing Colonialism. It's not invested in various demographic groups for the sake of electoral politics. Owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it believes in a genuine fraternity.

Ashram, yoga, or spirituality on one side and difficult philosophical books on the other keep The Mother & Sri Aurobindo perpetually away from the people. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who preside over the evolutionary march, is the best way for seeking their grace.

A book on the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can sell better. Many controveries need to be documented and made a part of the modern history. The contributions of devotees in different States need to be remembered. Such a book may warrant translations in different languages.

That's perfect but as an author with such a long experience, you can attempt this professionally. You will discover that how their legacy is very much a part of their philosophy; the undulating journey towards the Life Divine.

The last section: Criticisms and Controversies

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasised how evolution as a primal force is driving us all towards a higher and sublimer consciousness. By unveiling its Divine origin, they aligned it with the Vedic exhortations for cosmic powers and principles. So aspiring to be a Brahmin is legit.

India has undergone various forms of political and economic changes but many aspects of rural life are still intact. Nothing much to do with religion, or any ideology, but a spontaneous preference for simplicity and austerity is very much evident. Can this be called spirituality?

The Mother is on her way to Puducherry in 1914 where she is going to meet Sri Aurobindo for the first time on March 29. A day of infinite significance for whole mankind. Epochal books like The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, and The Secret of the Veda take birth on August 15.

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is about worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005) provides an alternative narrative while Savitri Era Party (2007), a future vision based on their Integral philosophy and ideal of human unity.

Evolution of modern society out of the clutch of religion or feudalism should never be forgotten. Savitri Era Religion therefore doesn't assure any success in yoga or spirituality. Establishing a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo depends entirely on the devotee.

These days the propensity is to curse instead of welcoming fresh discourse. Ideas and affirmations should provide ideal opportunities for refutation with adequate substantiation. But ad hominem attack is the order of the day. Morality on this score, therefore, is sorely required.

Are people so ideologically rigid? No, because it's against human nature. Self-interest drives all. Defending modernity may contain an element of self-interest as well but it's not the whole truth. The phrase paid-media says it all. Without money, ideology won't sustain for long.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo not only represent a new philosophy but also present a radical physics. By presiding over the whole process of evolution, they enunciate a new religion and ask for human collaboration. In line with the Vedic target of Immortality, they soar to its acme.

Evolution is an ongoing phenomenon, and hence, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not something optional. What they have predicted bear the stamp of evolutionary inevitability. They have backed it up with robust Theory, which is unprecedented in human history. Savitri is the epitome.

Without sound intellectual grounding, it's impossible to appreciate the profound significance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. What Feuerbach or Comte had inaugurated, had to be given a decent burial. The Life Divine dared to annex the heaven to the earth in a coherent explanation.

I'm beholden to Google for giving me the opportunity to publish a family of two dozen blogs way back in 2005. Dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I have never been particular about their commercial aspect. A decade back I had received 4K as ad revenue. Today another 8K came.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not mere philosophers. They were well aware of all human weaknesses and difficulties and stressed on work in the Ashram. The practical side was not the real solution, but it performed the more important aspect of aspiration for higher consciousness.

Divine grace is the most crucial element in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who preside over the evolutionary march, is the first principle of Savitri Era Religion. Further their work for reconfiguration of body cells continues.

By affirming All life is yoga, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo grappled with the challenge of how their life-embracing Integral philosophy can really be a success. Simply personal effort on the part of the disciples was not enough and therefore they emphasised sincerity and surrender.

West Bengal Political parties don't consider Sri Aurobindo a Bengali, nor do they derive any inspiration from him. Due to lack of his contribution to local literature or culture, awareness of him among people is negligible. Further, he is overshadowed by other popular luminaries.

Savitri Era Party maintains that restoring Sri Aurobindo's preeminent status in West Bengal is essential for right political direction not only in the State but also in the country. Bengal is important because the Left has a deep footprint here and ideological tension can emerge.

In a depressing scenario of political parties leaning towards identity-based electoral planks, Savitri Era Party will rescue the situation by its message of human unity and universality. The spirit of Bengal Renaissance needs to be reaffirmed through #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. Hence they are beyond comparison or comment. Clubbing them with their contemporaries, or other famous gurus, is nothing more than historical narrative.

Despite guile, Modi has turned a reliable barometer for judging intellectuals in India. Who supported or denounced him at what point or for which period of time is a reflection of the person's maturity and honesty. The timing also tells about quid pro quo involved, or lack of it.

I have been supplying an alternative viewpoint on many things, on the basis of my study of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books and allied orientation in Humanities. It's purely rational and has nothing to do with spirituality. Most people lack this advantage and chase celebrities.

The rise of Hindutva was due to several factors like anti-Congressism, anti-Colonialism, and anti-Western sentiment. Many devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, unfortunately, fell prey to this religious nationalism. Savitri Era Party holds it as anti-evolutionary.

Intellectuality, however, is conspicuous by its absence in Hindutva. On the other hand, the Left has a formidable presence in Theory. Hindutva as a transitional phase will fizzle out. So, the real political fight is with the Leftist framework. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will win!

Democracy is a great concept but doesn't account for dynamics of human nature adequately. In Monarchy, corruption was confined to the ruling family and their associates, but in democracy no citizen can be free of corruption. Supporting some party involves intellectual dishonesty.

Instead of aligning The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too much, to either developmental or sustainability goals, it's possible to worship them as the one Supreme Divine presiding over evolutionary march. Keeping them out of current geopolitical calculations similarly seems appropriate.

I have been consistently saying that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary despite empowering a large section of people through its muscular exhortings. Lack of any coherent Theory and belief in imaginary past glory is the primary complain. Secondly, harnessing it for votes is unethical.

Marxist view of perceiving reality was more or less simple or stable to which many more lenses like psychoanalytic, phenomenology, structuralism, and semiotics were added during the last century. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too, have contributed significantly to this melting pot.

Savitri Era Party (2007), drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, provides an alternative liberal ideology in the democratic arena of India. Without mythology or rituals, Savitri Era Religion (2006), similarly, is a rational and coherent religion for the modern mind.

Knowledge and ideology rule and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have chosen India to show direction to the world. By establishing Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005, I have been spreading their Integral view through which numerous people have benefitted. selforum.blogspot.com

I have been advising against comparing Sri Aurobindo with his contemporaries or famous gurus. Similarly, blending The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings with any other philosophy is infructuous. Even, Integral yoga is incomplete without worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

Just posted the most blasphemous statement that, Even Integral yoga is incomplete. It's simply unimaginable how I have fallen to such a low! Yet it wouldn't have been possible without the immeasurable grace of The Mother. If it's utter deviance on my part, then also it's for her.

Still not a right representation of Sri Aurobindo's viewpoint since his mature writings appear in a monthly magazine called Arya published from August 15, 1914. The Human Cycle deals with his socio-political ideas. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25

There are many admirers and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but no one has worked in the field of politics at the national level. Indian People’s Congress was formed under the leadership of Shreepal Singh @singh_shreepal in 1993 with such a purpose

After voluntary retirement in 2000, intellectual work and Internet have provided me a great getaway from ordinary life. The optimistic outlook of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo injects momentum in this exercise. Disseminating an objective and honest perspective is a big satisfaction.

He writes well and hence his books sell in plenty. But what about content and context? Shouldn't they deserve a greater degree of appraisal? Books by Sri Aurobindo are difficult to read and understand. It takes a lot of effort to reconcile his ideas. Still, it's highly rewarding.

Provision of Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the Constitution was an inbuilt trigger for implosion. Rise of Hindutva and the nebulous slogan of Hindu Rashtra exploded the Constitution from outside. It's an anarchic atmosphere at present as a deceptive theatre of democracy goes on.

There prevails a misconception that reading Sri Aurobindo's books is an invitation for practice of yoga and spirituality. It's not so. His major works deal with philosophy where he explains diverse facets of the world with clarity. Understanding these is a huge intellectual leap.

Studying Education as a part of my BSc,BEd course was useful but I found them quite shallow in comparison with what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offered. As a teacher in my own village school these theoretical aspects were of little use as syllabus and examinations ruled the roost.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo it's my responsibility to be true to their ideals and hence the role of a right narrative is preeminent. In this context worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is fundamental which leads to Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remain largely unknown despite their immense contributions. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion, is an excellent avenue for seeking their grace and collaboration with evolution for descent of Supramental consciousness.

Monarchy may be considered as conforming to human nature, while democracy is something artificial and imposed. Like all normative tasks, democracy fails to be successful. Yet, going by Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary scheme of things, democracy is likely to reform and refine itself.

Capitalism, like Monarchy, is close to human nature while Modernity is something aspirational. So when Fukuyama solemnised the marriage of democracy and capitalism it was a travesty of truth. It reminds of the proverb that All that glitters is not gold. Gold can be found in Veda.

Savitri Era Religion owes its allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Apart from Vedic foundations, it is indebted to the Cosmic Movement of Max Théon, inspired by a stream of Jewish Kaballah.

Many aren't aware that the last six chapters of The Life Divine were added when it was published as a book for the first time in 1940. These can be said to be a different book in the sense that a clear roadmap was drawn by Sri Aurobindo in accordance with his evolutionary vision.

Sri Aurobindo mends defect of Theory

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

After observing myself and others associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings for forty years, I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. Disenchantment with Hindutva too was a big factor for opting for an independent shelter. This is the most modern and rational religion.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them has evolutionary ramifications. Surrender basically means abandoning mental boundary, so that higher levels of consciousness take charge. Savitri Era Religion is the only avenue for this trick.

After their first meeting on March 29, 1914, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started publishing The Life Divine on August 15, 1914. Savitri Era Religion (2006) is driven by the logic of this epochal book. This is an intellectual field. Those who haven't read this book are illiterates!

While The Life Divine laid out the blueprint of a future world The Secret of the Veda unveiled the palette of principles for its execution. However The Mother book blended them together which forms the fuel of Savitri Era Religion. Victory of this evolutionary march is inevitable. 

This month keeps on reminding about how The Mother travelled from France and reached the nondescript town of Puducherry to meet Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914. Historians are yet to gauge the profound significance of this epochal moment that sowed the seeds of East-West harmony.

Integral yoga was enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo which is followed by thousands of people across the world. On the other hand, Savitri Era Religion was founded by me in 2006 which worships them as the one Supreme Divine, without any theoretical or practice-wise binding.

Crafting a tweet takes a lot of effort and imagination. Squeezing it within the specified character limit is another exercise in gymnastics. It is addressed to varieties of readers with the potential of stimulating their thinking. Yet some are in the habit of urinating like dogs.

Whether Hinduism and Hindutva are the same? Whether RSS is a Hindu organisation? Which Shankaracharya is more authentic than others? Whether Brahmins should agitate against UGC rules? Instead of daily bothering about such questions, I'm happy to be in Savitri Era Religion (2006).

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is an attempt to build a globally recognisable platform so that the children of present devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't drift away. It's free from any institutional bondage or stipulation of rituals. All are invited to join in voluntarily.

Apart from general discussion & matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo this handle caters to three specific arms:

Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005) selforum.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Religion (2006) serfrat.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Party (2007) savitrieraparty.blogspot.com

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have brought new knowledge and new light. To be guided by it is the responsibility of the whole humanity. Indians have a special task on this score. As followers of other gurus are dwindling, Savitri Era Religion is emerging as the most modern religion.

I acquired information on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in bits and pieces from books, magazines, and newspaper articles which were not easily available. Keeping notes and thematically matching them in separate registers. The thrill of finding an apposite quotation was exhilarating!

Most schools had closed the Humanities stream. I found one for my daughter in 1998 after a lot of effort. Everyone discouraged as to why I am imposing my whim on a good student. This bias continues but most here pose to be experts on Humanities without studying it in the college.

Babaji Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti started publishing a quarterly magazine titled Navajyoti ନବଜ୍ୟୋତି from Puducherry through which I had come to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They also built a network of Study Circles called Pathachakra ପାଠଚକ୍ର which has grown enormously now.

After shifting to Delhi in 1988, I got the wonderful opportunity of reading books and magazines at library of Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch. I was also stealthy reading portions of new books which I couldn't afford, at the Sabda sales centre. Society Centre was also useful.

Got to know a few renowned persons who were residents of Shipra Riviera in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. Apart from Prof. S.K. Chaube, Prof. Manindra Nath Thakur, and Sanjeev Verma, Artist, @sanjay_election and @mukeshbudharwi are eminent public intellectuals. @shantprakash also lives nearby.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram-Delhi Branch has two other Centres in Uttarakhand which I have visited. Van Niwas is located on Kilbury Road in Ayarpatta, Nainital while Madhuban is in Talla Ramgarh. Sri Aurobindo Institute of Indian Culture in Shillong, Meghalaya has similar scenic beauty.

Intellectual growth leads to clinging to primacy of Theory. Otherwise, it's just irrational believing in something out of extraneous considerations. Leftists advocate Theory but operate in a partial territory. Consequences accordingly are commensurate. Sri Aurobindo mends defect.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide excellent guidance for self-management and intellectual enrichment. Most are ignorant about them, and hence are missing a great opportunity of benefitting from their path. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to bridge this gap.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947, forms the bedrock of its future vision. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity and harmony. All are invited.

Ethical posturing can't guarantee peace and harmony

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo haven't given us any practical means for effecting some change sans sincerity and surrender. However I keep on employing and ploughing my puny brain on this score. The UGC/GC issue, I assume, will be a big trigger for foregrounding Savitri Era Religion.

Remembering The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their infinite love and compassion is the most important aspect. They didn't expect anything except transformation of the human condition and reclaiming Immortality. They also amply clarified that they don't expect much from human beings. 

Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be confined to revolutionary phase nor yoga and spirituality. Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in their myriad dimensions is a challenge for the modern generation. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the easiest way to access their grace.

India had seen Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, but Colonialism brought Christianity and Western thought. Still something was wanting. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met each other for the first time in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. New knowledge flowed providing evolutionary stimulus.

India is perceived to be under threat due to the ongoing war but it's difficult to evaluate what is good or bad for India now. I have been predicting a scenario of granting Sovereignty to the States under a loose Federation in line with the #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion is a demat religion. While food and other material objects are offered to the deities as part of worship in many traditional forms of religion, the work or action is offered to The Mother as part of surrender. Sri Aurobindo rescued the Veda from dumb rituals.

It's impossible to understand the speciality of Sri Aurobindo without reading any of his books. Videos do provide an overview but a few months of dedicated reading is essential. Holding a book is also important as online resources don't do justice to the weight of his vocabulary.

A preliminary understanding of the philosophy of evolution as explained by Schelling, Hegel, Bergson, Nietzsche, Spencer, and Whitehead is essential for right appreciation of Sri Aurobindo's epochal contribution. Teilhard de Chardin and Samuel Alexander also come under this club.

Living in an unusually large country like India entails being exposed to a huge number of crime-based news on a daily basis. These reported cases are only a fraction of what actually takes place. Personal reaction tends to be an indifference a la Hannah Arendt's banality of evil!

The UGC-GC debate is going to analyse all superficial assumptions relating to Hindutva. Hypocrisy on vote-bank politics can't provide answers to ontological questions embedded in social organisations. No Western theory can unravel this mystery except Sri Aurobindo's Mitra-Varuna.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the only hope for the future. No amount of ethical posturing can guarantee peace and harmony. Savitri Era Religion is the safest avenue for surrender to them and seeking their grace. That is our best collaboration with evolution for Supramental age.

I have been spreading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's message since 2005 but obviously the resistance is enormous. All dominant religions and digital platforms try to muzzle my voice. Hindutva adherents don't find any virtue in my posts. Sri Aurobindo's devotees also are against me.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and hence restricting them to their limited circumstances of Ashram can be highly misleading. What they said or did have relevance as Lila but the larger purpose for which they were busy all the time shouldn't be lost sight of. 

As people are swayed by flourishing narratives, I have been trying to create certain propositions by repeating them. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against new religion but I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 with the underlying principle that they are the one Supreme Divine.

Admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are requested to consider coming under the fold of Savitri Era Religion so that their children don't drift away. This legal and sociological aspect is as important as its political use of numbers game in a democracy.

From my experience of a staggering sixty plus years with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings I highlight the utilitarian aspects more than the so called spiritual side. Foremost is the intellectual growth along with poetic sensibility. Right view of history is also a big gain.

Each person is a prisoner of his circumstances. Hence applying the generalised, self-management lessons of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can seem to be fault-finding. But the real trick is surrender instead of any sense of guilt. Savitri Era Religion facilitates seeking their grace.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo prod for aspiring for the impossible. What is mystical for others is often an everyday affair for their followers. Higher levels of consciousness are talked about in a matter-of-fact manner. Such ontological internalisation has an advantage.

Most people instinctively associate The Mother & Sri Aurobindo with Auroville or the Ashram in Puducherry. Savitri Era Religion (2006) however affirms that anyone anywhere can worship them as the one Supreme Divine and seek their grace without any mediating person or institution.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals. Further, it doesn't have any connection with other religions or philosophies. Devotees are requested to read The Mother & Sri Aurobindo wherever they have written Divine, so that there is no abstract or secular connotation.

Instead of expressing doubts about any aspect of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform, all are requested to check with Google search which provides excellent overview on any prompt. I have been posting them on my family of blogs for ready reference.

blogger.com/profile/120675…

Repeating again that I am yet to find someone who I can respect for right intellectual alignment. There are authors and experts but no real knowledge seeker. There are celebrities and ideologues but they are partisan and myopic. Not being able to appreciate Sri Aurobindo is inept. 

https://x.com/i/status/2032141657089720802

It's GoogleAI generated. Just a historical juxtaposition without any assessment of their personalities. But your impression of Chaitanya is also equally liable to be contested!

I hold a slightly different perception on the matter. x.com/i/status/16842…

Very difficult to verify or certify what is true. Always there are multiple versions and the problem is being compounded due to social media. However, we can agree that both of them, through their activism, brought about some kind of democratisation in religion. That's valuable.

I don't subscribe to the concept of Avatar. x.com/i/status/19983…

As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), I have accepted The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. So, I don't have to bother about other things. This is an unprecedented ontology.

I haven't said Divine incarnate or Avatar.

Fine, as you deem fit. By the way, are you aware of Sri Aurobindo's appraisal of Luther in The Human Cycle?

People keep on comparing and conflating Sri Aurobindo with others. It's a misleading job. Sri Aurobindo himself has a dozen facets. Understanding his each aspect and harmonising them with present reality is itself a challenging task. But most just mention him to signal erudition!

I have been writing on Sri Aurobindo here but the Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague. For them the right knowledge or the right direction is not important but mythology is. Even now, when the caste is such a big issue, who else than Sri Aurobindo can come to their rescue?

The Constitution of India mandates a nation where all are equal. No doubt, many such ideals are drawn from the Bible or Western philosophers. But a more fundamental philosophical underpinning is provided by Sri Aurobindo. Engaging with him is necessary for right ideological clue.

Apart from The Mother book, several major works of Sri Aurobindo become relevant on the question of caste. They are Essays on the Gita, The Secret of the Veda, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine, and The Human Cycle. All devotees and followers must prepare for future debates.

Savitri Era Religion will cover the whole world, so that the fight among old religions vanishes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for world peace and human unity. This is also evolutionarily ordained for achieving Vedic Immortality.

She has absolutely no relevance for others, nobody knows her; but for us she is everything, the golden bridge. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

By forming Savitri Era Religion in 2006 I affirmed that we have no connection with old religions. Our love, devotion, and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only thing that counts. By starting Savitri Era Party in 2007 similarly I declared, we are against all parties.

We can be the ruling party. Just one person is needed to contest in each constituency. Thereafter, it's the choice of the people.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion or political party. I created the Savitri Era banner after I got access to instant web publishing in 2005. I have been doing many ideological fine tuning over the years. Devotees and followers are requested to examine them.

Those who haven't read The Life Divine can't understand why I'm so optimistic about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party. The changes The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have foreseen won't happen overnight. Commensurate infrastructure has to be built for ushering in an ideal society. 

Savitri Era narrative has been successful to rescue the discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from the narrow confines of the Ashram or Auroville. The relevance of the #FiveDreams Manifesto is worldwide and hence a paradigm shift as regards practice of Integral yoga is overdue.

Savitri Era Party has been demanding returning Auroville to the devotees and withdrawing non-devotees from its administration. There should be a semblance of democracy in its functioning and it shouldn't be run like a govt development project. Reconising Savitri Era Religion too.

The Life Divine doesn't talk about any particular nation or religion. It doesn't talk about airports either. Yet it remains the most coherent explanation of why we are here and where we go from here. Without reading it, it is impossible to imagine its immensity and inevitability.

Savitri Era Party (2007), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, has been demanding abolition of reservations and all provisions in the Constitution relating to castes and religions. Social justice can't be achieved by prolonging discrimination perpetually. #FiveDreams

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005, I have been highlighting that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy doesn't mean mere silent meditation but acquiring wide knowledge and political sensibilities for facing the fast-changing challenges of the modern world.

I'm appalled at the fact that people who are fairly conversant with Sri Aurobindo's The Human Cycle hold sympathies for almost an opposite kind of politics in India. Savitri Era Party, however, has an uncompromising stand apropos the past and promises to espouse enlightening way.

After listing Nineteen sets of irreconcilable contradictions, Goblipura Subbaramiah has recommended that every Indian child should learn Ramayana and Mahabharata. There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Ergo, Savitri Era Religion owes allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Deeply aware of the bankruptcy of Hindutva as an ideology, Modi has been building his personal charisma in the model of mythological Monarchy. Though a successful formula, it is subversive of democracy. Savitri Era Party aspires for a political atmosphere, devoid of manipulation.

Sandeep Balakrishna has lamented in a post that people are not reading the history of Indian culture from primary sources in Indian languages. Now, this is a back-breaking task for the new generation! But he has not disclosed what scholars like him have established, conclusively.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

All Nature dumbly calls to her alone.

To heal with her feet the aching throb of life.

- Sri Aurobindo (Savitri, 3.2.)

An old Odia ଓଡିଆ song by Raghunath Panigrahi.

youtu.be/Evu-w9q6omU?si…

A decade back, I had presented a paper in a Conference at Nitte contextualising The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's perspective which was published in their journal, Nitte Management Review. Reimagining and Refashioning Integral Management

The Mother came to India to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914, and today is her birth anniversary. All those, who have ignored me all these years, haven't grown intellectually. The loss is theirs, not mine. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the only solution for the future.

I have the advantage of reading the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo along with some Western philosophy. Further, I have witnessed different phases of Indian politics during the last seventy years. Without such a varied orientation, thinking ability is bound to be handicapped.

I have been reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since the age of eight. So there was no requirement for me to read other gurus. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are absolutely unprecedented and unique. They are the one Supreme Divine. But for academic purposes, one can make comparisons.

I can request @roshendalal to guide you in this respect since she is an authority on both the thinkers.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata but West Bengal is yet to appreciate him fully. Still it's possible that people are drawn to The Mother first so that Sri Aurobindo is recognised. This is overdue and our prayers on her birthday to do the needful! Let West Bengal lead once again.

True. I think, Karmayogi's role has been phenomenal. @KarmayogiQuotes

Very few people are aware about the life of Sri Aurobindo during the years 1914 to 1920. He was writing 6 to 7 books simultaneously for publication in the Arya monthly magazine. There was no Ashram then and his pupils were a few. Historians should be interested about this period.

After shifting to Delhi in 1988, one of my first tasks was to memorise various roads radiating from the ubiquitous roundabouts from a map since taking a wrong direction means you reach elsewhere. In a similar spirit, I have been trying to show the right direction here since 2005.

After buying a flat in Indirapuram in 1998, I shifted to Ghaziabad.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine entails aligning with the evolutionary intention of the descent of the Supramental consciousness leading to the Vedic objective of physical Immortality and harmony.

Gandhi is as essential for understanding the past, as Sri Aurobindo is for formulating the future. I had formed Savitri Era Party in 2007 with the strong conviction that Hindutva would collapse under its own contradictions and hypocrisy. Present turmoil over UGC is the beginning!

Just read in the news that Mohan Bhagwat says, RSS is not meant for Hindutva politics. This seems to be a good sign. Real social challenges should be the focus. That would form the root for organic politics for our young democracy, instead of an imaginary, predetermined template.

I'm yet to find any intellectual in India who I can really admire and be guided by. I will be happy if someone tells me of such a person. Nobody has read Sri Aurobindo and hence I consider all as uneducated. Having invested my life in Sri Aurobindo I have earned this distinction.

True, but I find that many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo need appropriate orientation and guidance. That's why I had started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005. Intellectual growth takes years.

Well put. Why are you underground? You can do a lot!

Savitri Era Party doesn't believe in any imaginary, glorious past of India since different kingdoms were perpetually at war with each other. It doesn't promote Sanskrit learning in school as it is too taxing without much reward. Reading Sri Aurobindo's translations is sufficient.

People are suffering from defective ontology. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave a new evolutionary ontology more than a century ago. Imbibing it is the responsibility of each person. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to disseminate this new knowledge and praxis.

Anyone can search my profile and find how I kept on alerting about Modi on different occasions. I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007, the Centenary year of Sri Aurobindo's lead in the Surat split of Congress. Thus ideology is vital in politics and popularity can come in a day.

Looks like the algorithm blockade has eased a bit, and my posts are reaching people. However, I request all to discuss the perspectives and possibilities, I present, vis-à-vis other alternatives, in their timelines, so that the theoretical aspects can be examined more rigorously.

The silence, connivance, and complicity of educated people have brought us to such a pass. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for remedying the situation. Savitri Era Party has been spreading this emancipatory message despite resistance by dominant circles.

Sex is the Achilles' heel of Integral yoga

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise that the future will be different. Savitri Erans, therefore, don't put much confidence on the past. Even present arrangements like nationality or commercial blocs are suspect. Our identity as human beings is the most fundamental configuration.

Development is the new slogan and reform is the modality. For Savitri Erans, however, transformation is the mode of evolution. It doesn't depend on any single community or geographical location. New consciousness can grow anywhere in the world, in any receptive or aspiring heart.

Although, Nehruvian consensus served the basis for a broad cultural template after the British left, Charan Singh was able to articulate the concerns of the farmers with economics at the heart. His protest against Nehru then is the genesis of why Modi is the Prime Minister today.

Many here advise others to read Sri Aurobindo without reading him themselves. They don't specify which book to read or in what context. They aren't bothered about The Mother or what Auroville means. They are unaware that Sri Aurobindo wrote a long poem titled Ilion on Greek theme. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the minimum expected of their devotees. Savitri Era Religion is meant for securing this much without any variation or pretext of slipping into temptations of old ways.

There is another typo in the name of Sri Aurobindo. It is Sri and not Shri. He used to sign in the style Sri Aurobindo and that is his complete name. Any variation is erroneous. For us the devotees, name is mantra and spelling sacrosanct. It also proves that you haven't read him!

In many meetings and conferences, the speakers induce a sense of deficiency in the minds of those present by citing The Mother's instructions. Savitri Era Religion, on the contrary, encourages a joyful relationship with her, with love, devotion, and surrender. No yoga or sadhana!

For many solutions, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo proposed the role of soul, the spirit, the psychic being, the true self, or such other esoteric entities. From the point of view of a modern mind, these are inaccessible. Despite robust theoretical framework, results are not assured.

There shouldn't be hypocrisy. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have said is their responsibility. We needn't parrot them. Avoiding false promise is most important. Savitri Era Religion asks to worship them as the one Supreme Divine but a devotee's relationship with them is unique.

It was easy for me all these years to criticise Hindutva on the strength of Sri Aurobindo. But now Hindutva itself is undergoing severe churning due to upper castes revolt. No clarity as of now since electoral politics and RSS double-speak are involved. Still Savitri Era is safe.

Please write Sri Aurobindo, a proper noun.

x.com/i/status/20241…

You didn't believe me then!

That's not the right spirit, and we can't claim monopoly on Sri Aurobindo. As an author, JSD is very much entitled to provoke public opinion by referring to Sri Aurobindo in a tangential way. One is reminded of how Ken Wilber popularised Sri Aurobindo among the elite in the West.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo leave most things open-ended. Although The Mother has been identified as the Divine Mother in three poises Sri Aurobindo's own status hasn't been clearly enunciated. Even the concept of Ashram or Yoga is not compatible with their philosophy.

The Ashram grew from ideas in Ananda Math, Bhawani Mandir, and Deva Sangha of Chandannagar etc. It was a laboratory which has no relevance after The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's demise. Secluded and regimented life has no place in their vision of the world. 2) Yoga is not verifiable.

Leftists have been churning out PhDs in Humanities without mentioning Sri Aurobindo. Hindutva intellectuals imitated the same formula for writing books. But now a situation has arrived when there can't be any thinking without Sri Aurobindo. The next step is Savitri Era version.

Thanks. Please indicate if there is any online documentation or publication. Compiling a resource base would be beneficial for all.

I have been hinting at that weird situation when many of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's actual writings would be bypassed or overlooked. Selective quoting at present creates misleading atmosphere. But subjective interpretation will be a more dangerous zone. However, spirit matters.

Watch it if you can. @Nimai_Swain @akazlev

Democracy is an admirable notion but with the most problematic elements. Instead of an elephant choosing as in olden days people are expected to elect. But on what basis? Can it be rational? With men one can be sure to some extent. But women? The eternal Gopis? Whoa! It's rigged.

Remembering The Mother along with Sri Aurobindo is also important as she embodies that Integral spirit. Incidentally, tomorrow happens to be her Birth anniversary which is celebrated all over the world. Peter Heehs has written a wonderful biography of her.

Why there is so much of confusion within the Hindutva ecosystem? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo foresaw it long back. I started Savitri Era Religion for worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Winds of Modernity blew into India when The Asiatic Society was founded by Sir William Jones on January 15, 1784. Bengal Renaissance followed during which William Carey and Thomas Babington Macaulay played great roles. The Mother arrived from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914.

Most of us here talk about politics or national and international affairs, but the relevance of spirituality is basically personal, and The Mother is an excellent guide. Sex is Achilles' heel of Integral yoga on which Dr Bijlani has tried to shed some light.

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This provides a nuanced perspective. @satoverma x.com/i/status/20219…

Letters written by Sri Aurobindo to different disciples in the Ashram cannot be applied mutatis mutandis to everyone now that his and The Mother's direct spiritual force is absent. One cannot simply read books and claim to be practicing the Yoga correctly. Surrender is necessary.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them under Savitri Era Religion is an indispensable aspect of their philosophy and yoga. It is an act of collaboration with aspiration of earth's consciousness for seeking Supramental consciousness.

Like the eminent historians, some people made a name as intellectuals by milking Hindutva, during the last decade. But scholarship is unsustainable without wide reading, and works of Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Indian situation. Unfortunately, they upturn the Hindutva boat!

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows criticising received wisdom. He is establishing a new philosophy and a new orientation in thought. Deeply aware of human weaknesses and hold of the past on him, he promises the Supramental through evolutionary inevitability.

In our childhood, a prayer called Ahe dayamaya biswabihari was recited in school written by Ramakrushna Nanda. Similar prayers by Madhusudan Rao were also popular. Though Marathi and Brahmo, he is considered as the Father Of Modern Odia Poetry along with Radhanath Ray, a Bengali.

In order to herald his new philosophy Sri Aurobindo published the Arya magazine in 1914 with minimal resources. It's paradoxical that in the age of Social media and AI, communication about him and his ideology remains handicapped. It doesn't bother much his devotees or followers!

How you can pen something which was penned or rather spoken by Sri Aurobindo? By the way, The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo is now available online in 36 volumes. incarnateword.in/cwsa

It's a long journey but going through them can transform your thinking and the whole being.

Thankfully, Vivekananda is nowhere in the reckoning now. Ambedkar, pitiably, has become the rope in the current tug of war, while poor, Karpatri Maharaj is pushed to rub shoulder with Savarkar! Somehow, Sri Aurobindo remains a favoured fixture in all these permutations. Et voilà!

There was no good option for Ambedkar when he converted to Buddhism. But today Savitri Era Religion is a viable alternative anchored in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been in the job of foregrounding Sri Aurobindo and his Integral outlook based on the evolutionary schema of The Life Divine since 2005. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present.

In many instances Sri Aurobindo is referred to without any mention of The Mother. This is erroneous since they are one consciousness and represent an Integral philosophy. Sri Aurobindo's writings before their meeting in 1914 therefore should be given less weightage than of later.

My understanding of the castes is that it can't be wished away. Whether birth-based or work-based division of labour is indispensable just like separation of powers in a democracy. Varuna appears in the Veda and Zend-Avesta. Sri Aurobindo's interpretation of it resembles Brahmin.

It's really intriguing that it took half-a-century to decode this much. It may take another half-a-century for arriving at Sri Aurobindo!

With my life of seventy years on this planet, I can't claim to be aware of 7000 years of history or philosophy. Even to be informed adequately about 700 years is also a tall order. However relying on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives a balanced overview. Be Indian; be Aurobindian!

It's not without significance that Sri Aurobindo was present at the time of Independence which came on his 75th birthday. It should be remembered that each top leader had an appointed role and hence needless criticism of him is unwarranted. Some have temerity even to deride RRMR!

[Hindu Dharma is not monolithic... It is an incomprehensibly vast Banyan tree... (with) diverse modes of worship, Gurus, Sampradayas, and even Deities.] Sarva dharma sama bhava is contested but steamrolling different mystic streams under an overarching brand is considered Kosher!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo encourage new thinking and modern attitude. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion entails seeking their grace for descent of the Supramental consciousness. No castes or customs. No mythology or rituals. No intermediaries.

Sri Aurobindo has created a new dictionary of Sanskrit in the course of his writing The Secret of the Veda. He has also many other theories with regard to language and interpretation. Being acquainted with them can provide a better understanding of traditional culture and wisdom.

Complete silence of BJP supporters on any negative aspect of the Govt. sends shivers down the spine. This doesn't look like democracy and that too in the time of social media and AI. No criticism of the party even. Mythological model of Monarchy seems to hold sway. Hindu Rashtra!

That was in some context. Perhaps UGC or a bit prior to that. And it seems to be silenced already. Yet I will be happy if there is legitimate critique on broad parameters.

That's an old complain aired by a few known hawks. But to his credit, Modi has functioned  all along as UPA-3, ideologically. However, there have been major issues on democracy front.

Integral yoga is an interim name

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Theory format savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/02/sri-au

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

https://x.com/i/status/2020945979218985245

Sri Aurobindo has written thousands of letters but unfortunately the persons to whom they were written and their questions remain unpublished. This has robbed his role of humanisising and emotional elements. A great deal of sociological and historical documents are in cold store.

Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of any mythology or rituals. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and surrender to them is the task for collaborating with evolution for descent of higher consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, officially came into being in 1926 and this is its Centenary year. The message that Sri Aurobindo is the greatest thinker of the country has reached everyone now. The young generation should examine how much his legacy is relevant for the future.

The GC debate is unfolding gradually which is extremely amusing for Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party. Amazing to see how enlightened minds are immediately captured by identitarian sentiments. So how fair it is to expect those holding Constitutional posts to be above it?

Spirituality is nothing new and yoga in any abstract sense is futile. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo add to it is surrender to them and seeking their grace. Savitri Era Religion is the right condition for fostering this emotion which also amounts to collaboration with evolution.

Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises is the only way for social harmony.

Sri Aurobindo is not amenable to any kind of synthesis. He has built a complete schema which is inevitable through evolution. Reading him carefully is necessary.

You are right. Their legacy is subversive of Hindutva or for that matter all religions. I am writing this since 2005. But the evolutionary trajectory they have foreseen will touch all.

It's human nature. People in UP used to vote for Congress. Then shifted to Charan Singh, then Mulayam, then Mayawati, Now Yogi. Is their any logic?

You can become one.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo knew that the world was not ready. They did everything and created everything for launching a new religion but gave it an interim name: Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion simply formalises that arrangement by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

You are very much correct, and I have practically said the same thing. But only their written words are not enough. How they behaved, their way of interaction with the disciples, various celebrations in the Ashram, etc. have to be taken into account for understanding in totality.

I don't consider top intellectuals properly educated as they haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books. But longtime devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo espousing Hindutva ideology is tarnishing his image. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to expose such deviance.

Epical characters are worshipped in Hinduism which is considered superior to other major religions by Hindutva votaries. Colonialism and evangelism contribute to this perceived antipathy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine in Savitri Era Religion.

It's necessary to analyse why what you have recommended is not happening. That means they are neither easy nor possible since there are other compulsions. To disregard those is wishful thinking. Right diagnosis is the first step. So spelling out inherent infirmities is important.

Savitri Era Religion has been resisting mythology and rituals on the basis of the symbolic interpretation of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. Besides, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is far more satisfying.

One may draw inspiration either from Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) or Michael Polanyi (1891–1976), Pierre Klossowski (1905–2001) or Leszek Kołakowski (1927–2009), Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya (1918–1993) or Debi Prasad Chattopadhyaya (1933–2022), but the ultimate source is Sri Aurobindo.

Fiction is meant to be disruptive and cathartic.

Fiction and all creative art are polyphonic or speak different voices. It's a training ground for the human mind. He is able to experience multiple things vicariously beyond his immediate environment or memory. Further, it has got healing qualities through depressing portrayals.

Your review of the movie is reductionist. You are highlighting only one aspect, a part of the plot. Further, you are connecting it to a dominant political ideology. You are fully entitled to it. My point is to look at it through the lens of art and fiction. Art deserves respect.

You say that deliberate propaganda does not deserve respect. But I disagree. All kinds of opinion and propaganda form a garland for our democracy. Each voice has its role.

https://x.com/i/status/2022312846412189790

Many have protested against the hegemony of the Veda during the last one thousand years. Some of them are part of the Bhakti movement. Sri Aurobindo restored the original significance of the Veda that is pivotal to Savitri Era Religion. It's also crucial to understand the castes.

Dharmendra Pradhan knows Sri Aurobindo, and is instrumental in incorporating the principles of Integral Education in NEP. He is from Odisha and is highly educated. Right now, if he is defending some emancipatory aspects of policy proposals, then Savitri Era Party extends support.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. It not only foils the attempt of secularising Integral yoga but also rescues Sri Aurobindo from being harnessed by Hindutva for weaponising Nationalism on his anvil. But Vedic foundation is vital.

Being educated in the Science stream, many Hindutva exponents express a disdainful attitude towards Humanities. Their feeling condescendingly towards the West also prevents them from imbibing the foundations of Modern thought. Sri Aurobindo is an excellent bridge in this context.
