Savitri Era: Let there be no end savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/11/let-th…

Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b.1956). This blog, running since 2005, provides an alternative worldview and narrative based on the philosophy, yoga, and future vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

That The Mother & Sri Aurobindo spent enormous energy for defeating Hitler is the basic mythology of Savitri Era Religion. This template is very important for understanding political developments since evolution turns some as its instruments irrespective of flaws and deficiencies. 

I don't understand technology, and hence am susceptible to nourishing doubts about the election process. Manipulation has been an weapon for Modi from the day one. It is continuing from the British period but now it is beyond the power of comprehension of any common man. Ominous!

My naïveté about spirituality and ethics was blown away during the controversy over a book by Peter Heehs in 2008. Since then, I have been relying on my own understanding for interpreting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance. No ecosystem networking or funding. No echo chamber.

The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo is a unique resource for symbolic and psychological interpretation of various deities. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/sarasw…

I have tried to read various things, including The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings, through my seventy years, but haven't been able to understand life or the world. Art, literature, theatre, philosophy, etc have myriad theories but nothing is conclusive. That's human condition!

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Sri Aurobindo's message is very simple selforum.blogspot.com/2025/11/sri-au…

The Mother passed away on November 17, 1973. Peter Heehs has written an excellent biography of her which has been admirably reviewed by Aravindan Neelakandan.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only condition for Savitri Era Religion. Even, one is free not to believe in their philosophy or prophecy. Exploring the intellectual firmament should be an individual's independent enterprise. No compulsion.

The State-wise picture is more complex. In UP, people have been voting for different combinations. Charan Singh was the first to rebel against Congress. Thus, it's not a straight shift from Congress to BJP.

https://x.com/i/status/1990454753437135072

I'm not a Modi supporter and writing against him for more than a decade but would like to plead for him a bit. He may not be well accomplished in education but has enormous grassroots experience and long administrative experience apart from being in different parties. Good actor!

By establishing the Ashram on November 24, 1926, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo created a metanarrative. Its growth process was complex and multilayered. The practice of Integral yoga itself was unstructured and adventurous. It continues to attract attention as a model of fraternity.

Savitri Era Religion, with its global presence, can usher in a better social and political atmosphere. Allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can inculcate a rational attitude for problem solving. Freedom from influence of monarchy via mythology encourages democratic approach.

Savitri Era narrative is twenty years old which favours aggressive publicity for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Dedicated handles on this platform is almost negligible which proves lack of conviction on this score. However awareness of them is growing as other narratives are hollow.

One should reach at Sri Aurobindo through genuine intellectual quest but that's difficult. Savitri Era Religion provides the easy way of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and subsequently exploring their philosophy and yoga as per one's capability.

My twenty years in social media of disseminating The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's message is backed by forty years of devotion, loyalty, study of their and allied literature, and different types of organisational and promotional work. Being an example in society is also one of them.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo worked for the Vedic ideal of Immortality. Various deities have been interpreted by them as a ladder of consciousness, and descent of Supramental consciousness is part of the evolutionary journey. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is essential.

At the essential level, philosophy and religion have the same goals, and, hence, Western thought has failed to maintain its avowed distinction, on many occasions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, thankfully, don't profess such pretensions, and talk about The Life Divine, forthrightly.

Ken Wilber gave a big push to Sri Aurobindo towards the end of the last century and yet the West remains oblivious of him. Even CIIS has banished him. It can easily be perceived that The Mother is the barrier. But she turns out to be the pivot and fulcrum of his whole enterprise.

It is only by reading his Complete Works that one can discover why Sri Aurobindo is the greatest poet and philosopher. incarnateword.in/cwsa

The Life Divine is acknowledged as his magnum opus where he integrates philosophy, religion, politics, and physics. Savitri seeks Immortality.

Savitri Era Religion is about worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Their philosophy and yoga psychology are vast and elaborate, but the devotee is not bound by them.

It's surprising that many people assume the flow of time needs to be tamed and accuse history to have been unjust to them. Such an approach doesn't stand scrutiny from evolutionary viewpoint. Those who feel Colonialism was an aberration should understand its transforming power.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry has some strict rules regarding lifestyle and the relevance of such an organisation today should be judged carefully. Dependence for livelihood makes many people to be part of it without any significant contribution towards society or spirituality. 

Life is complex, and Integral yoga is a good coping mechanism, but being admitted to the coercive life of the Ashram at a young age should not be an option for any one. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the right formula instead of deceptive romanticising of spirituality.

Decontextualising is considered a defective practice but, paradoxically, Sri Aurobindo himself has been cruelly decontextualised in many of his edited volumes of Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA). Letters and names of the disciples have been omitted. incarnateword.in/cwsa

There are many books on Sri Aurobindo's philosophy but they aren't integrated with the aspect of religion that he & The Mother represent. In this sense, a comprehensive appraisal of his legacy awaits scholarly attention. Limiting him to nationalism too is another misleading line.

RSS definition of Hindu is changing over the years and now it accommodates even the atheists. It's also talking about spirituality and the Veda. Savitri Era Religion however is on the opposite course. Atheists have no place here as worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a must. 

Now Malhotra and Rao aren't on the same page as regards the definition of Hindu. Others are accusing Ranganathan and Deepak for derailing the Hindu cause. Madhusudan too faces diatribe on many occasions. While this slugfest is amusing, we, at Savitri Era Religion, feel protected.

Savitri Era Religion is very much a reality and it's for the scholars and journalists to probe the phenomenon. Hindutva was on the rise during last three decades but is gradually losing steam and sheen after temple construction. In such a scenario Savitri Era Party has potential.

Accepting her as the Divine Mother at a young age helped me to be free from the irrational influence of Astrology, Mythology, and Rituals. Sri Aurobindo's symbolic interpretation of the Veda fleshed out my conviction later. These are the basic foundations of Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother used to stress that their life-stories are not important as their inner consciousness is the true reflection. This was surely intriguing but the fact is, when we worship them as the one Supreme Divine, then binding them to biographical plot is absurd.

On November 24, 1926, Sri Aurobindo attained Siddhi and a new phase of his life began. The day also marks establishment of Sri Aurobindo Ashram under The Mother's guidance. The yoga of Sri Aurobindo also took a new turn. It became The Mother-centric. His philosophy had to change.

Philosophy draws a line as its limit and then tries to explain the whole resulting in endless, tangled arguments and theories. Sri Aurobindo, straightaway, goes to the source. Savitri Era Religion still simplifies and worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Hindutva, in its effort to expand its influence, is increasingly depending upon Sri Aurobindo's explanations of religion and spirituality. This mode of appropriation is absolutely predatory, and I have been pointing this out since 2005. Savitri Era Religion acts as a shield here.

No one is writing on Sri Aurobindo as neither textual analysis nor comparative studies offer any newness. Religion is the only space left on which I hold copyright. If Savitri Era Religion really establishes as a new religion by 2050 then my place is secured in the history books.

Every now and then, people post about either purchasing or reading a specific book but till now, I haven't seen anyone proclaiming that he has completed The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo. Let me reiterate that voyaging through this oceanic expanse is a must for every intellectual.

Savitri Era Party is the only party which adopts SriAurobindo as its icon. It's surprising that no one else among 8.2 billion people on this planet is enthusiastic about him. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present. 

AI is writing encyclopedia and in future the narrative it creates will be treated as most authentic. Old history books will lose their relevance. So what I'm posting today is fodder for tomorrow's history. Credibility will matter; not celebrity status. Social media will be source.

Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths

Guides and counsellors

Are mushrooming these days

Experts on life-skills

Release videos everyday.

All are ready to heal

With varieties of therapy

But they forget the fact

That we are all patients!

Finitude and ignorance

Is our common ailment

Like the blind men

Before an elephant.

Looks like for all these years

The song was in hiding and lo

Half-the-day has passed 

By humming it since the morning

The song has it all

The sky, the stars, rain and lightning

The sun, and forests and gardens

With birds chirping and butterflies fluttering

Nobody could have predicted the future events when Sri Aurobindo and The Mother met for the first time in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. Thus, recognising their contribution retrospectively is paramount from the evolution's view. Historians wouldn't be interested in consciousness.

Those who ruled India in the last century are nowhere now. The present rulers, similarly, will be washed away by the flow of time. Savitri Era Party prays to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their constant protection and guidance to the section who stands on the side of evolution.

Always write Sri Aurobindo

Don't club him with Vivekananda

Don't try to make sense of him via quotations

Don't think that he worked for Hinduism or Hindutva

Don't imagine him without The Mother

Don't assume that he detested politics or religion

Don't say he thought for India only

https://x.com/i/status/1993492121517801727

In this unequal world

When all are fighting for their rights

Mother tongue is the nature's gift

In equal measure.

Young and old, rich or poor

Can pour out their emotions

Without any inhibitions

Without any character limits.

No rationing or carbon footprint,

But silence is golden!

His prose is dense; otherwise Sri Aurobindo's writings are quite rational and systematic. Understanding his arguments is not difficult but his versatility deserves to be admired. Only in The Secret of the Veda he exhibits his originality and mystic ability by hermeneutic novelty.

Regardless of scholarly verdicts, it is apparent that Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths. The Mother's Western background, connection with Max Théon, and Messianic philosophy add to the credence. Sri Aurobindo, however, represents the Vedic substratum and aim.

Savitri Era Religion

New sun in the horizon

Will dispel the darkness

Of prejudice and confusion.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Who are always present

Carry on the evolution

Towards a state resplendent.

We on our part

Have to rely on them

Like in a train

Through picturesque terrain.

Thales rejected Mythology, and Western philosophy was born. Sri Aurobindo, however, seeks to expand the scope of reason and insists on supra-physical realities. While it is difficult to refute such philosophical assertions, immense hurdles appear from the practical point of view.

Childhood can't be imagined without stories and adults are no less addicted to movies. With so much of material entering our mind it's certainly difficult to know who we really are. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion helps.

As far as I am concerned, I feel that The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have not permitted us to rely upon any set of technicalities beyond their own formulation and terminologies. Hence professional knowledge shouldn't interfere in our aspirational trajectory. selforum.blogspot.com/2017/06/he-hea…

https://x.com/i/status/1994498972166361402

Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950 and how India has been able to benefit from him during the last 75 years is a matter which must be analysed deeply in all spheres. Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for adopting him as an icon for raising politics to a new level.

Sri Aurobindo's commentaries on scriptures and epics are considered valuable. His extolling of ancient Indian culture is also inspiring. His works on education, art, and literary criticsm have started impressing the academic community. All these have immense educative potential.

Universities in India teach Analytic philosophy, Continental philosophy, Ancient Indian philosophy, and some selected modern Indian social philosophy like Gandhi and Ambedkar. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of The Life Divine, unfortunately, has not been included in their syllabus.

Indian Constitution is an admirable document, but its authorship is a bone of contention. Has Sri Aurobindo any role to play in its drafting? The answer is no, but if one analyses his writings in Bande Mataram and Karmayogin, then it becomes apparent how he dealt with principles.

https://x.com/i/status/1994845718780227848

Explosion of information hasn't made people any wiser. Motivated narratives rule the roost and pride in pushing them ahead is increasing. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the only way for saner living in this scenario.

Criticising Colonialism is a pet practice of politicians and academics alike. Savitri Era Party however is firm in its view that Colonialism, despite its negative features, was an instrument of evolution and hence blanket antagonism against Western culture is blatantly erroneous.

The metaphysical framework built by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most modern and coherent worldview without knowing which one is liable to be misguided. Studying it by self-effort is essential as the general education system is yet to accommodate it.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't have any apex authority

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This is the right time to study the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for a couple of months before choosing any other platform or project. Right knowledge has the power to lead one in the right direction.

Then you would have written Sri instead of Shri.

https://x.com/i/status/1995184991756841064

People don't know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Understanding their philosophy or spirituality is possible through dedicated avenues like Savitri Era Religion. Otherwise, they remain buried under the history of their scores of more famous contemporaries, in the last century.

Several factors led to the rise of hate-based Hindutva like the Temple movement, Terrorism sponsored by Pakistan, Appeasement policies of Govt., Wrong depiction in Bollywood, Stray incidents during festivals, and Targeting women. But political exploitation of it is reprehensible.

I just clicked a news item by Jagran Josh in the Google homepage. Immediately, pop-ups started raining incessantly in different shapes and sizes. Must be two dozens, and exasperated, I quit. All sense of decency and decorum has vanished now. No sense of proportion or any emotion!

Belief in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, as the one Supreme Divine, is the fundamental requirement for any progress in yoga. Because aspiration for the higher consciousness is possible only when one has full faith and confidence in them. It is more than mere devotion or surrender.

If you read Sri Aurobindo's later works, evolution is the watchword. Thus, if you feel that the past should be the guiding spirit, it may not be appropriate. Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950, but he had never associated himself with the ideology or activities of RSS.

https://x.com/i/status/1996195959274135738

AI can answer any question on Sri Aurobindo in a second. No need to read scholarly books. But the challenge is to go beyond established narratives. Savitri Era Religion is completely new and lacks citations. Thus AI would be silent about it. So, need to recognise the new reality.

Twenty years back, a lot of people in the West were talking about Sri Aurobindo owing to Ken Wilber. However, in A New Look at Aurobindo (1990), Frank Thompson had demonstrated how Sri Aurobindo's philosophy was manifestly influenced by Christian doctrines digitalcommons.butler.edu/cgi/viewconten…

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the core principle of Savitri Era Religion, established in the year, 2006. Sri Aurobindo had passed away on December 5, 1950 and The Mother on November 17, 1973.

Heartening to see that tributes and homages to Sri Aurobindo are pouring in from all corners. Looks like the nation's consciousness is fast opening to receive his epochal vision. Need to demolish the conspiracy of Marxist historians to banish him. Five hours left to pay respects.

Although representatives of all parties are expressing their deep reverence towards Sri Aurobindo, only Savitri Era Party (2007) is truly dedicated to his ideals. Other parties have other icons and respective ideologies but Savitri Era Party is free from predetermined narratives.

Admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are very much within their rights to be guided by the standard form of their teachings. However, as Founder of Savitri Era Religion, I have been pursuing a different path since 2006 without any qualm of defying them.

No one assured me that the country I was born in will be a highly developed one. So, no frustration on that count. No one gave any firm indication that human misery will vanish. So, no disappointment on that score, either. That leaves only The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to rely upon.

Men may come and men may go, but the world goes on forever. Thus to think that we can understand the functioning of the world and change it according to our fond hopes is nothing but a superstition. So in the meantime, worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't assure any success in yoga. It avoids any promise of spiritual visions or mystical experiences, as found in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. It simply provides an alternative ontology that they are the one Supreme Divine, who are always present.

Only those who are conversant with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy understand how others have a very different worldview and outlook. Both for the religious and secular minded, reading the books like The Life Divine or The Synthesis of Yoga can open new vistas of insight.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914, but the world is still reluctant to recognise its profound significance. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine without any reliance on brick and mortar. Also no connection to any other religion or mythology.

Giving it a fine structural framework many thought that Integral yoga can be practiced independently but unfortunately the whole system is nonfunctional unless tethered to The Mother. She is the pivot and the fulcrum and her love, grace, and compassion is an essential ingredient.

Savitri Era Party is the only solution in the current political situation. Recognising Sri Aurobindo and his future vision should have been the job of intellectuals long ago but better late than never. This will happen by the grace of The Mother and not by orchestrating protests.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata on August 15, 1872. Bengal Renaissance had run its full course. Later during his participation in the Freedom struggle, he started publishing his synthetic vision in Bande Mataram, Karmayogin, and Dharma. Savitri Era Party seeks to take it ahead.

By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, Savitri Era Religion (2006) modifies the metaphysical framework and system of yoga of Sri Aurobindo. It also bypasses his assertion of not starting any new religion.

I happen to be the Founder of Savitri Era Religion but it doesn't have any apex authority or institution. There is no initiation ceremony nor any system of registration. So it is by expressing their affiliation to it by the devotees voluntarily that Savitri Era Religion can grow.

Savitri Era Party disagrees with the dominant historical narratives since the role of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has been neglected deliberately. Similarly, it feels that many currents of Western philosophy are irrelevant since Sri Aurobindo's insights have not been incorporated.

Hindutva has been overactive to appropriate Sri Aurobindo and takeover the network of Centres and devotees related to him. I am the only person who speaks against Hindutva in public under the banner of Savitri Era Religion (2006) & Savitri Era Party (2007) savitriera.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Religion doesn't consider The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings to be self-evident truth. They have to be read within their context and reconstrued according to the new ontology of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, where needed. Calling them avatar is wrong.

The Mother declared that the Supramental light and force touched the Earth consciousness on February 29, 1956. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party, therefore, are in a constant state of anticipation. All preconceived ideas and predetermined narratives are of little utility. 

Savitri Era Religion is against proving the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It's a matter of perception by the devotee. One can be influenced by any of their multiple facets. That acceptance is important. Otherwise, it is a long struggle of reading snippets and comparing.

Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as icons is the basic requirement for Savitri Era Party. Aspiring for human unity and world peace in accordance with the vision of The Life Divine forms the object. The #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 lays out the blueprint.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend living either in the Ashram or Auroville since ordinary life provides the right circumstances and opportunities for evolution of any individual. Similarly it's also incorrect that Integral education can be imparted through dedicated schools.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion involves an entirely new ontology without any connection with old philosophies, theologies, theosophies, or mythologies. To call them Yogi, Rishi, Guru, or Avatar, therefore, is erroneous.

Savitri Era Religion will solve many problems of the world by its new ontology of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Savitri Era Party too spreads a new narrative.

Just noticed that Richard Hartz pronounces the t of Savitri as in tree. Is it really impossible for Westerners to call me ତୁଷାର and not ଟୁଷାର? Nobody knows more than him the value of mantra and how pronouncing the name Savitri, itself, in the right way, is profoundly significant!

As it's becoming more and more evident that it is impossible for people now to read a book like The Life Divine or delve into an epic like Savitri, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion (2006), is the most appropriate avenue.

I came in contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at eight in 1964 and The Mother passed away in 1973. I haven't seen her. However I had imbibed enough inspiration during those ten years which sustains me even today. I have been spreading their message via social media since 2005

Let there be no end

Savitri Era

Ushers in new thought

And fresh perspective

Toward freedom. 

No black & white

Shades of grey galore;

There are a thousand pegs

To hang a tale. 

Let a hundred flowers

Bloom and a hundred schools

Of thought contend! 

Let there be no end!

Let noble thoughts come

From all directions!

Historically, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came together on March 29, 1914 in order to settle the confusion wrought in the previous century through Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, Theosophical Society, Ramakrishna Mission, etc. They also responded to Darwin, Marx, Freud, Einstein, et al.

Sri Aurobindo used to keep a diary for his spiritual practices which has been published as, Record of Yoga. But in his formulation of Integral yoga, he abandoned those methods. Savitri Era Religion intends to separate spirituality from many romantic or esoteric conceptions about it.

After a lifelong engagement with spirituality and yoga, Sri Aurobindo faced a serious challenge in his penultimate year. His correspondence with his close, Dilip Kumar Roy over the role of body has many interesting facets. He also tweaked the neat scheme of The Life Divine a bit.

Given that the kind of topics people are interested in here, reading and understanding the books of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is not possible. Savitri Era Party is an alternative. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the only solution for collaboration with evolution.

The first issue of Arya came out on August 15, 1914. Considering the profound nature of its content such a publication is unimaginable even today. Apart from The Life Divine, The Secret of the Veda, Isha Upanishad, & The Synthesis of Yoga were inaugurated.

incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

Yoga may be normal in the Ashram context, but in a social setting, it's not a very welcome affair. Both, family life and professional environment are against it, in a way. Reading, also, involves solitary engagement. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, serves as a convenient avenue.

Many here never forget to talk about revolutionaries, but I'm sure none has read this most important episode of India’s Freedom struggle. I don't know whether this has been covered by the recently made film. Delhi blasts are a good occasion to remember it.

incarnateword.in/other-authors/…

Good that some are toying with trying new icons in the political firmament. This has got some merit although the imagined ideological content may not be neat nor have fidelity. However, competitors are welcome as Savitri Era Party is game. The Future belongs to Sri Aurobindo alas! 

Integrating traditional knowledge with that of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is fraught with hazard. It's much more advisable to contemplate over what Sri Aurobindo says in his works and analyse how he has kneaded the ancient wisdom and brought out a well wrought ontological scheme.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't promise swift spiritual realisation or fulfilment of ambition. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo means slow transformation through the heat and light of their knowledge, love, and compassion. Following any other path is a sure road to confusion.

Unlike Integral Yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Savitri Era Religion is a sociological project with political ramifications. Coming together under its umbrella demands shedding common human weaknesses like selfishness and hypocrisy on a progressive basis, as All life is yoga.

While divergent views are there on whether to end inequality and exploitation through political means or market mechanism Savitri Era Party invokes the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. None of the above named two spheres are autonomous since evolution is at work nonstop.

Many top Indians were influenced by Sri Aurobindo after Independence of which no complete record is available. Accumulating history of Sri Aurobindo's legacy should be taken up by the young generation as many charlatans have been hogging the limelight instead of genuine devotees.

Sri Aurobindo's relevance has been nicely articulated in this video which would be good for students and youth for grasping complex ideas in an easy and relaxed manner. The teacher however forgot to mention that Sri Aurobindo was fully educated in England.

India has seen all kinds of ideologies, but nothing has worked to create good living conditions for its people. Pockets of prosperity in some cities is an illusion. Savitri Era Party believes that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for transforming the society.

The Life Divine was heralded on August 15, 1914, in the pages of the Arya, co-edited by Sri Aurobindo. Thus, there should be no confusion about why Lord Mountbatten chose August 15 for India's independence, which also marked ending of World War II in 1945.

incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

For most people here, criticising others is an addiction, but Savitri Era Party offers an alternative in addition. Not only for politcs, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide far superior material in the sphere of philosophy, psychology, sociology, education, poetry, and commentary.

That culture exerts an overwhelming influence on an individual is well known but science is increasingly recognising that the place where a person resides, his daily habits like diet etc can affect the functioning of his genetic mechanism so much so that it modifies his character. 

People like Prashant Kishor or Shashi Tharoor should understand that relying on human effort is not enough. Savitri Era Party is very much confident that worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo under Savitri Era Religion is the only way to transform politics by ushering in ethics.

Reading Sri Aurobindo's books has become easier due to search facility. Any keyword fetches scores of results with varieties of contexts. This is a good method for understanding preliminary concepts, scattered in various volumes. His references to Western authors are instructive.

In a multi-party democracy, a single party or alliance wins in the election, and captures power. That doesn't mean that other players have become irrelevant. Not winning any seat is not an indication of ideological defeat. Minor or feeble voices have the right to fight elections.

In almost all disciplines of Humanities, Sri Aurobindo has to offer something significant. Yet, Universities are avoiding his writings for a century now. Scholarly books don't quote him. Newspaper articles also fight shy of him. It is very difficult to understand this phenomenon.

Till Independence, only kings or queens were ruling different parts of India. There was no concept of people taking decisions. Feudal lords exploited people. Most were tyrants. Hence, all talk of a glorious past is bunkum. Trying to rectify historical errors is a futile exercise.

Although, I was born and brought up in a village in ଓଡିଶା Odisha, influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has helped me to get rid of traditional culture and religion. The effect of Nehruvian atmosphere cannot be denied too. The present dominance of Hindutva is anti-evolutionary.

Savitri Era Party steers clear of demographic and geopolitical issues. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for human unity and world peace. Their philosophy of Life Divine is futuristic and evolutionary. Worshipping them via Savitri Era Religion is the most convenient avenue for it.

If Nationalism means to love one's nation, then its present state, and not some imaginary past or future picture, should be loved. To love all its people, and not a certan section, is evident. Anything contrary can't be construed as Nationalism. It is surprising why this escapes!

A lot of debate is going on on Hinduism and my experience of 70 years tells me that it's all futile. I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 with exactly this in view. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for the future not only for India but the whole world. 

People are fond of blaming great men of the last two centuries, but it is due to their collective and cumulative efforts that today we have in India a nation of unparalleled diversity with unflinching determination for modernity. Such democratic negotiations are sure to flourish.

Tourism is said to be the Vitamin T and religion facilitates it to a great extent. Combined with festivals and rituals, it exerts an intoxicating effect on people which David Harvey highlighted once. Americans are complaining of being unaware of Sri Aurobindo but won't follow me.

Sir William Jones was instrumental in establishing The Asiatic Society on January 15, 1784. William Carey arrived on January 10, 1800. Thomas Babington Macaulay's Minute on Education appeared on February 2, 1835. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo brought out the Arya on August 15, 1914.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo avoided starting a new religion explicitly, but definitely created a new path. So nothing prevents a follower to look at them in a thoroughly religious manner and spread their message among fellow men just like what people of other religions do eagerly.

While writing a faithful account of that period is laudable, it would be perceptive to bear in mind the spiritual powers of Sri Aurobindo unlike his contemporaries. He had allied with Tilak since 1907 Surat Congress and his force is said to be there while writing of Gita Rahasya.

Recently @shanteehee and @lilastories made some uninformed and impressionistic remarks on Sri Aurobindo and his legacy. This shouldn't happen in the age of AI. His admirers and devotees are there around the world. @theashramCH should know that Sri Aurobindo wrote The Human Cycle.

Savitri Era Party has been raising its voice against Hindutva as well as Dynasty. It's also demanding abolition of reservations. No other political party in India has such an ideological combination. Drawing inspiration from evolutionary philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is trump card.

The Mother was in Puducherry and I got to know about her in my village in ଓଡିଶା Odisha as a child sixty years ago. ନବଜ୍ଯୋତି Navajyoti, a quarterly magazine published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram kept the flame alive. The weekly ପାଠଚକ୍ର Study Circle movement replicated Bhagabata Tungi.

Being an ancient civilisation କଳିଙ୍ଗ, Odisha has varieties of vibrant religious and philosophical traditions, but my faith in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had been steadfast. This is before I got to read their books with some seriousness or understood their philosophy to an extent.

Very unfortunate that many intellectuals are citing quotations as definitive views of Sri Aurobindo. This is a wrong and misleading practice. No single chapter or a book can be said to contain his final opinion. Not even a poem, or an epic. Astute scholarship needed to gauge him.

Just read that "a brief five-second pause can significantly reduce aggression during conflict," and remembered The Mother advising Stepping back. #SriAurobindo #IntegralYoga #SelfManagement

Can Rani Rashmoni be considered as his inspiration in this direction?

People would have been cured of their misconceptions easily had they cared to read my posts. I'm writing since 2005 and anyone searching Sri Aurobindo would definitely find my Savitri Era site. Domain knowledge is vital & I don't think anyone else can provide a better perspective. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is the basic principle of Savitri Era Religion. Sri Aurobindo describing the four powers of The Mother in The Synthesis of Yoga shortly after her final arrival in 1920

Anyone clubbing Vivekananda with Sri Aurobindo is sure to misguide.

Anyone suggesting that Sri Aurobindo promoted Hinduism is deluded.

Anyone hoping to mend, or reform, Hinduism by harnessing Sri Aurobindo is doing window dressing.

Anyone forgetting The Mother betrays stupidity.

You were Trump's fan, IIRC?

Most people are unaware of Sri Aurobindo's life history unlike his other contemporaries. His banishment from school text books and extracurricular activities has produced such ignorance about him. Savitri Era Religion, however, worships him & The Mother as the one Supreme Divine.

Before launching Savitri Era Religion two decades back, I had full one decade of experience in selling The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books. Canvassing for their philosophy and convincing varieties of strangers to buy at Delhi Book Fairs in Pragati Maidan gave me a lot of insights.

American resentment over Hinduism has triggered a lot of discussion and debate which certainly have much bearing in India. It's nothing new and can be traced back to Bengal Renaissance. However reference to Sri Aurobindo is a silver lining as Savitri Era Religion is the solution.

It's important to understand that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo used Hindu terminology so that their audience can identify and relate. They spoke high of certain persons just to make their disciples happy. Since they are the one Supreme Divine, many of their words need to be reread.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't take any responsibility in matters esoteric. Practice of yoga is a direct relationship between The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and the devotee. No intermediary or prescribed procedure is involved. The modality and dynamics is different for each individual.

Many may not be aware of Kant's Perpetual Peace proposing a federation of republics and international law to prevent war. Sri Aurobindo's #WorldUnion aims at inner fraternity

[VIP VAK: Political and legal arrangements won't guarantee lasting peace and unity vipvak.blogspot.com/2025/11/politi…]

This platform is a fertile field for virtue signalling, but I'm yet to find anyone following a conscientious ideology. Most are driven by utilitarian motives. Savitri Era Religion imparts the purifying and refining influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on our unruly psychology.

Ulrich Mohrhoff is a physicist who has been exploring the ramifications of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

open.substack.com/pub/aurocafe/p…

Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Marxists and Western scholars dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Americans, Russians, & Chinese dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Ambedkar, Periyar, Hindutva, & Congress followers dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion is for those who disagree with the above. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo doesn't entail any ritual. Savitri Era Religion is, basically, for sociological, legal, and practical purpurses, but its essence is spirituality without any reliance on Brick and mortar. Besides, it doesn't impose any lifestyle restriction.

I have been combing the web for the last twenty years to keep myself abreast of studies relating to Sri Aurobindo. What I have noticed is that scholarly work has dried up. May be the themes have exhausted! But understanding his legacy is pregnant with stories. Authors are welcome! 

As President of Savitri Era Party (2007), my conviction is that all citizens are equal players in the game of democracy. Thus leaving politics in the hands of a measly section is anomalous. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can lead to electing honest people's representatives.

Superlatives or hyperboles are unavoidable while writing on Sri Aurobindo because he indeed belongs at the top. Still I stay conscious to avoid exaggeration in the matter of Integral yoga. Subjective experiences, not amenable to verification or replication, shouldn't be endorsed.

As multiple verifications or census are underway Savitri Era Party demands grant of official recognition for Savitri Era Religion so that devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are spared of various kinds of sociological embarrassment and duplicity in disclosing their true faith.

By somewhat ratifying the notion of Nation-soul what Sri Aurobindo intended is giving geographical, racial, religious, and linguistic units an identity and sense of purpose as instruments of evolution and emergence of which Development or Technology aren't the only external signs. 

So, it also becomes another echochamber? Where is independence or objectivity then?

Savitri Era Party is inspired by the Five Dreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under the umbrella of Savitri Era Religion is the best means of collaboration for #FiveDreams to take shape.

People are generally swayed either by crowd or by celebrities but right reading material can provide right perspective. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), and its sister Blogs, have excellent Archives spanning over twenty years. A Modi come Jaitley (2002).

marketime.blogspot.com/2005/11/modi-c…

Many people admire Sri Aurobindo but don't follow me. They have been so conditioned by their ecosystem and echochamber that different opinion is anathema to them. But such ostrich-like behaviour dwarfs intellect and produces a bonsai. Myths rule the roost.

orchidrose.blogspot.com/2025/11/ostric…

Catching clever cause-and-effect patterns in current affairs is seen as brilliance or a mark of a genius but the real hand behind all that is evolution's. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of Integral Advaita awakens to an infallible intention guiding the course of history all the time.

Nice to hear, but you might not have added Sri Aurobindo's insights to your appreciation!

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are scattered worldwide but there is no formal organisation to represent them save Savitri Era Party (2007). All life is yoga and pondering over socio-political issues can't be excluded from it. Preventive measures needed to avoid conflicts.

Now that AI is eager to devour whatever is written, accumulating authentic information has become crucial.

Writings of Sri Aurobindo belong to different phases. Even within the same phase also there are lots of variations. Besides, there are unverified conversations. His full correspondences with the disciples are yet to be published. Thus caution should be maintained as to his views.

The first day of Sri Aurobindo at Chandannagar has many interesting details, but to piece it together from different sources is a difficult task. May be a faithful account is available in Bengali. I had read a good description of it, in Odia, in the magazine ନବପ୍ରକାଶ Navaprakash.

New books are promoted here and elsewhere regularly. But as Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005), my suggestion is to read some old and essential books. Mahayogi: Life, Sadhana, & Teachings of Sri Aurobindo by R.R. Diwakar is one such book.

Savitri Era Learning Forum: We need to expand our outreach selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/we-nee…

This Blog is running since 2005. Apart from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's yoga philosophy, other streams of thought are also covered. It has over a dozen allied Blogs tended by Tusar Nath Mohapatra.

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Verbal restraint fosters inner tranquility selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/verbal…

As this Blog completes twenty years with nearly three thousand posts containing innumerable links and references to sites that have long vanished, it invites researchers to its archives. 

While your appreciation is genuine it's one part of the story. I founded Savitri Era Religion in 2006 which worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. savitriera.blogspot.com

Most of pujo is over. J pujo in Chandannagar is imminent. For me listening varieties of music over DJ is the most attractive part. Although different kinds of North Indian songs are played, Odia is perhaps treated as South Indian and hence no entry. Let's hope Mahua factor helps!

While doing work or taking food, concerns over body or age-related issues come to the fore. Even while listening to music also that wistful feeling for the past precipitates. But during the time my mind is engaged in reading or writing, it's a seamless, neutral, ever-young space!

While democracy is a noble idea, getting votes from millions of strangers isn't an easy task. Further, outwitting the rivals is key. Thus the job of advertising or manipulating minds becomes central. In this sense, complaining about deception or misrepresentation is out of place.

I have been reading their writings from a young age and, as far as my impression goes, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk more about prsonal defects and deficiencies of disciples than the biological and genetic machinery propelling them. This downplaying of Nature is a bit curious!

Agree. The dynamics of their yoga puts emphasis on willed psychological remolding. But while at many places, they blame the emotions, they also rely on the same emotions for psychic opening. This seems paradoxical! Larry Seidlitz has a good paper on this.

ipi.org.in/texts/ipyc/ipy…

The idea is to build a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without the gate-keeping or hegemony of, or dependence on, any institution or individual. Savitri Era Religion also doesn't have any ritual or mythology. It doesn't prescribe any fixed system of practice.

After taking voluntary retirement from my job of a Scale I officer in the Head Office in Delhi of Punjab National Bank in 2000, instead of earning money I have been working for harmony. At 70 I have the satisfaction of providing an alternative ideology in the form of Savitri Era.

Whether noticed or not vigorous ideological churning is going on in the country. Although driven by politics and capturing power, appealing to the young generation and keeping pace with technological stride has become a challenge. Savitri Era Party holds Sri Aurobindo as supreme.

BJP and RSS are in power for more than eleven years but haven't been able to spell out their ideology or strategy clearly till now. It's fair to say that both the organisations are evolving and trying to win in the survival game but, their core impulsion being hatred, rot inside.

Although we worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, there should be no hesitation in critically examining what they have left behind in black and white. Savitri Era Religion & Savitri Era Party are more attuned to their love, grace, and compassion than words. 

When The Mother met Sri Aurobindo for the first time on March 29, 1914, in Puducherry, their divinity got established. Savitri Era Religion ensues from that, and everything prior or later are secondary. Thus, the story of gradual realisations should be taken with a pinch of salt.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1982456929189531786?t=dB0_PpHEbN9fd8JK26SAAw&s=19

Expressing our love, loyalty, and gratitude towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is our only weapon. The future is in their hands, as evolution is a slave of them. The hold of the old religions is slackening. Even, atheist philosophies are undergoing stir. #FiveDreams will triumph!

Current political situation doesn't encourage people to appreciate The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's contributions. Yet, many are gradually discovering who is the greatest poet and philosopher. But that recognition only is not enough. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is key.

Tips for writers. https://youtu.be/0b-85_vTFLE?si=cKnr_qmSQCvINiID 

It would be interesting to probe how far Rani Rashmoni was the real inspiration behind the evolution of Vivekananda.

Savitri Era Religion contends that the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are their property and are under Ashram's copyright. They are sacred and possess mantric power. The biblical proverb “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs" is relevant here.

My recent followers are Tara, Elsa, Ophelia, Barbara, Patricia, Maureen, Lillian, Mallie, Linda, Darlene, et al. It indicates that a great spiritual resurgence is blowing among American women!

Sri Aurobindo points out that the solution to all our problems is in discovering harmony, but the path to that is not clear. So, Savitri Era Party doesn't follow any fixed economic or social ideology. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo amounts to collaboration with evolution.

India's Rebirth: A selection from Sri Aurobindo's writings, talks and speeches, published in 1993, outside Ashram, has done maximum damage to the reputation of Sri Aurobindo. This is an example how stray quotations, without proper context, can be misleading and create prejudice.

Grokipedia page on Sri Aurobindo has two concluding sections, viz., Disputes Over Biographies and Interpretations and Posthumous Issues in Ashram and Auroville Governance. Only hints are provided there about which people of India, in general, are ignorant.

https://grokipedia.com/page/Sri_Aurobindo

Just noticed that the Grokipedia article on Sri Aurobindo has this following citation at 129. Although the article doesn't mention about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party, it's possible that independent observers will bring it to the public notice.

selforum.blogspot.com/2010/04/ken-wi…

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the preliminary step for understanding the purpose of our existence in the world. It also helps to analyse 20th century history and philosophy, in new light, since Savitri Era Religion ensues from March 29, 1914.

The principles of yoga and spirituality, as enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, may look quite firm but its texture changes in accordance with the personal situation of the devotee. Cultural and intellectual background imposes its own conditions instead of submitting fully.

Savitri Era Religion fosters an environment of freedom for the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without any institutional pressure or obligation. Absence of any kind of mythology or rituals is the biggest advantage. No system of initiation nor any requirement of some priest. 

Religion operates at several levels as its hold on personal, familial, social, political, economic, aesthetic, and intellectual domains is pervasive. Its appeal overrides other considerations totally irrationally. Savitri Era Religion seeks to establish rational approach in this.

When Words Bow: Linguistic Politeness in Classical Indian Thought by Dr. Jayashree Premkumar Shet appears to be an interesting study. There is a large number of handles on this platform who don't consider humility or politeness is a virtue. But Dharma demands otherwise as per it.

The Mother was in France and Sri Aurobindo in England but there was no contact. That sacred moment came when The Mother arrived in Puducherry and both met for the first time on March 29, 1914. A new story for the mankind began: Savitri Era Religion. A new hope and a new adventure! 

In the last century, Hinduism was never thought as a panacea for all human ills or the greatest of all religions although RSS existed since 1925. But the Ram temple movement created a lot of hubris coinciding with Hindutva reimagining India as a possible superpower or Vishwaguru.

Since I came in contact with the ideals of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in 1964, Hinduism has been repulsive to me. Senseless rituals and endless juvenile mythology are cause of perpetual irritation for me. But the aesthetic aspect keeps people bonded. Devotion is therapeutic, too.

This century has given rise to Hindutva intellectuals or RW. But I fail to understand the thrust of their arguments. There is no definite point where their history starts. There is no agreement on which texts are defining. Consensus is lacking on who actually is a Hindu. So on and so forth.

Take one simple example: Dharmic is good and Abrahamic is bad. I don't know who devised this simplistic formula, but the whole edifice of Hindutva scholarship stands on this premise. No matter, majority of the world's population are living under the latter umbrella for millennia!

However, Human Rights entitles all to be proud of own nation or religion. No quarrel with that. But modernity and education also enjoins to look at things rationally. Whataboutery that since Leftists have distorted history we have as much right do the same, isn't taking anywhere.

In the matter religion also nothing can be ascertained in an esoteric realm. So using it for mundane activities can only lead to mushrooming of idols and statues. Statutory matters have to be governed on, purely, secular basis. Thus pushing religion beyond its confines is futile.

I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006 for a clean break with Hinduism. Even without belonging to it, intellectuals in India can learn a lot by reading Sri Aurobindo's books. Everyone knows it but there's no shortcut. Visiting a nearby Sri Aurobindo Centre can teach many things.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1984152076356874382?t=o3SHENHA_wvOOKO8WNibUQ&s=19

Savitri Era Religion doesn't hold any text, ancient or modern, as fundamental. Even the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo form a Parliament of philosophies. Yoga is basically the journey of discovering that we are not disconnected at the first place. So the task is to begin.

Each text has its value. Even movie songs contain many nuggets of truth. Just as extracting the tender stalk from a blade of grass, as an Upanishad advises, separating ethical component from mythological aspect of various religious scriptures is important. incarnateword.in/cwsa/1/hindu-d…

It was The Mother who came from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914 and took steps for establishment of Ashram in 1926. Her struggle for sustaining herself might look as difficult but Savitri Era Religion takes it as Lila. Also the present state of fragmentation among followers.

When I thought that I have secured a fairly good grip on various branches of Hindutva, a new stream of American Hindus has cropped up. Further, the recent comment by their VP has turbocharged latent sentiment on many fronts. It's not for nothing that Emerson thought high of RRMR!

What was triggered by Raja Ram Mohan Roy will surely reach its logical conclusion. In between, we see Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–91), Annie Besant (1847–1933), Margaret Elizabeth Noble (1867–1911), Madeleine Slade (1892–1982) apart from Mirra Alfassa (1878–1973), The Mother.

Although, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo refrained from starting any new religion and stressed on spirituality, I have provided a modern and rational alternative by launching Savitri Era Religion in 2006, since the dominant religions are in perpetual conflict.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2006/08/savitr…

There is no gainsaying the fact that my antipathy against Hindutva prompted Savitri Era Religion. Neither The Mother & Sri Aurobindo nor their direct disciples had faced the menace of Hindutva. An assembled desktop arrived in our Shipra Riviera flat on February 21, 2005. Rest is...

There have been critics of RSS, within the Hindu fold, in the past, but Rao has taken it to the most vociferous level. And at a moment when they are at the peak of enjoying power. While his honesty of purpose can't be faulted, the mythology-driven Hindu cause is flawed ab initio.

Savitri Era Religion is a good alternative with worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. It's free of mythology and rituals. No initiation ceremony or any intermediary.

It's a question of discovering. Reading his works gradually creates such an impression. incarnateword.in/cwsa

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1984868856679268841?t=Ol1hSq8U9uIZYvKAqwtT6A&s=19

While Sri Aurobindo is often discussed here vis-à-vis the Veda, he is conspicuous by his absence at the Grokipedia page on Vedas.

That's great!

Apart from The Secret of the Veda, Hymns to the Mystic Fire and Vedic and Philological Studies are part of The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA). Besides, works of TV Kapali Sastri, V Madhusudan Reddy, MP Pandit, SP Singh, RL Kashyap, et al are there.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/15

By the way, can I expect a page in my name or on Savitri Era Religion on which I'm writing since 2005? In addition to Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, I give a devotional interpretation of their philosophy of Integral yoga.

Many thanks for your encouragement and commitment towards authenticity. Savitri Era is our religion posted on Thursday, August 24, 2006 provides the basic rationale. There would be hundreds of posts thereafter at the blog and X which are easily searchable.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2006/08/savitr…

In S.P. Mittal vs. Union of India, 1983 (Auroville case), Court ruled that the teachings of Sri Aurobindo were a philosophy, not a religion. However, in his dissenting judgement, Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy opined that his devotees can start a new religion.

Thanks for the assurance and it would be nice if you can give a sense of by when it would materialise.

Savitri Era Religion relies less on brick and mortar

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

I have been warning against Hindutva and BJP for the last twenty years but unfortunately many devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo became their ardent supporters. So it's good that gradually some of them are realising their mistake by discovering how fake is Modi. #TusarNathMohapatra

Gitanjali Angmo alias Gitanjali JB is in news. As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo she had a very prominent role in mounting a campaign against Peter Heehs in 2008. A court case was filed against The Lives of Sri Aurobindo and the book was banned

I have lived in Odisha, Delhi/NCR, and West Bengal, and in that sense my exposure is very limited. I haven't gone abroad also. Still, I have been able provide an alternative narrative and ideology which no one else has. This is my biggest satisfaction at Seventy. Grace of TM&SA! #TusarNathMohapatra

Most intellectuals snigger at Hindutva and tend to lend support to the Congress and the Left. Savitri Era Party, on the contrary, is opposed to both sides of the isle. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only route for collaborating with evolution towards the Life Divine. #TusarNathMohapatra

Most people were born after Independence and hence they live under the current provisions of Indian Constitution. Thus there's no point in talking about situations obtaining prior to 1947. Some organisations are inciting to act in unconstitutional ways. Beware of such enticement! #TusarNathMohapatra

Kings were sovereign and as such their actions are beyond the purview of any legal or ethical scrutiny in a modern, democratic country. Many people try to bypass this simple logic in order to manufacture conflicts on religious lines. Expecting any king to be benevolent is absurd. #TusarNathMohapatra

We are conditioned to a cyclic nature of our existence. First the day and night schedule and next the seasons and festivals forming an annual merry-go-round. The third of course is Birth-growth-and-death leading to Rebirth. However, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remind of evolution. #TusarNathMohapatra 

Sri Aurobindo has written on castes but the present reality on which the principle of reservation is based doesn't benefit much from it. Further like the hatred generated by Hindutva hatred by the Dalits and towards them spoils social harmony. Savitri Era Religion is the way out. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hindutva solidarity that was witnessed in 2014 is in tatters today. People have been thoroughly disenchanted with Modi and are waiting for a change in leadership in BJP. Secondly, many intellectuals have realised the futility of Hindutva as a doctrine. Good for Savitri Era Party. #TusarNathMohapatra

It's not just another ideology; it's a complete philosophy, or ontology, according to which the next stage of evolution is possible through the joint action of human aspiration and the grace of The Mother. And hence worshipping her with love and devotion is an integral component. #TusarNathMohapatra

As an ordinary citizen, I can't do all that but Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party can achieve very easily. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only condition. Thereafter, there is no division or discrimination. The meaning of the Veda is different. No hegemony. #TusarNathMohapatra

It's not New Age. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met each other in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. They started a monthly magazine called, Arya in which Sri Aurobindo's philosophy was published. RSS and CPI were born in 1925. Thus, their teachings are quite old. #TusarNathMohapatra https://incarnateword.in/cwsa

Savitri Era Religion doesn't believe in tradition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk about evolution envisaging a sublime future for humanity. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for ushering in the Life Divine. #TusarNathMohapatra

Amod Lele's essay on Nāgārjuna tells how the latter warned about the possible danger of emptiness (śūnyatā). The same also applies to Integral yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo if the practice aspect is overemphasised by neglecting devotion and surrender.

https://indianphilosophyblog.org/2025/09/28/snakes-wrongly-grasped-on-the-psychedelic-experiences-of-musk-and-manson/

Celebrations relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are a regular feature across the globe. #TusarNathMohapatra

https://youtu.be/0U3IUCt-fws?si=4jDgXQGDFBWi2e3s

Barindra Kumar Ghosh wrote many books including his autobiography which provide vivid pictures of his role in revolutionary activities. There might be minor criticisms but they constitute an invaluable primary source. However, he is yet to get the kind of recognition he deserves. #TusarNathMohapatra

Learnt about The Journey to the West which seems be dealing with inner journey like Savitri. I don't know if anyone has done such a comparison. Prema Nandakumar's A Study of Savitri was my favourite which concentrates on Western sources. Need to take Sri Aurobindo to the East too #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion denotes liberation from rituals and focusing on psychological evolution. This is the real translation of Sri Aurobindo's symbolic interpretation of the Veda. Without this firm intellectual foundation vacillation and confusion with regard to tradition persists #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion is scarcely reliant on brick and mortar. Remembering The Mother & Sri Aurobindo doesn't require any material objects or real estate. Devotees need to get rid of the traditional habit of visiting a place of worship. No rituals, and no fixed method of practice. #TusarNathMohapatra

Before the Leftists twisting history, top poets in Odisha wrote several poems by borrowing themes from legends and Western literature. All these came to be accepted as actual history and Odia pride. Baji Prabhu Deshpande's heroism was adapted as Baji Rout ବାଜି ରାଉତ. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/baji-prabhou

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and hence their biographical accounts of undergoing diverse trials and tribulations don't matter much. Still, the multicultural perspectives they bring to the table is something to be marvelled at. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother announced descent of Supramental consciousness, in principle, on February 29, 1956. Being born on January 22, 1956, it holds a special significance for me. Nothing perceptible can be noticed till now but Savitri Era Religion means to be expectant for every next moment. #TusarNathMohapatra

Indian Constitution has caged a large section of citizens as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Savitri Era Party demands their liberation by abolishing reservations. All references to castes and religions in it should be dropped. Neither special treatment nor discrimination. #TusarNathMohapatra

Life is full of problems. Personal, social, professional, political, etc. There's no ready-made panacea. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo awake us to the fact that piecemeal solutions are ineffective. Descent of Supramental consciousness is the only cure. Surrender to them is necessary #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is the way out. No mythology and no rituals. No initiation ceremony or intermediary. Anybody can join by voluntarily worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hope, you have heard of Sri Aurobindo and his epic Savitri. It's one of the longest poems in English on a profound theme like victory over death.

I'm familiar with Goethe as Sisir Kumar Maitra had compared his Faust with Savitri. His ideas on evolution also have been discussed elsewhere. Just read about his autobiographical novel The Sorrows of Young Werther which was quite influential worldwide. Thanks to @GirishDttShukla

Like Two negations of The Life Divine, there are two defective ways of understanding Sri Aurobindo. First is partial. It's about those who have read just one or two books. The second is literal. This covers most people who have read substantially but avoid accepting overall view. #TusarNathMohapatra

Understanding anything properly is a complex and contentious affair and so if it involves making sense of the vast oeuvre of Sri Aurobindo then sufficient flexibility of mind is a basic requirement. Otherwise one ends up reading a few quotations justifying own sedimented beliefs. #TusarNathMohapatra

Rao has been vocal against RSS but the truth is that, like Savitri Era, RSS is a modern day religion with elaborate paraphernalia. Thus instead of complaining that it's not fighting for the Hindus, it's better to recognise the reality and evaluate it for how far it has succeeded. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party follows a middle way midst the perpetual narrative war between Hindutva and the Congress. It refuses to believe in the glorious past of India despite Sri Aurobindo's celebrated treatise on the subject. Similarly, it doesn't agree with a Gandhi-centric outlook. #TusarNathMohapatra

Although Hedgewar is the founder, Golwalkar is the real face of RSS. RKM had a significant influence on him and many others associated with RSS which continues till date. Empires of modern day gurus have exacerbated the situation. So the original inspiration is, completely, gone.

RSS Religion is not alone. Marxist Religion is very old which Bertrand Russell had identified. Gandhi-Nehru Religion is alive and kicking. Ambedkar Religion has an Octopus-like hold on its adherents. Lohia Religion also refuses to be lying low. Periyar Religion is hale and hearty #TusarNathMohapatra

I studied Education as part of BScBEd for four years. Then I became a School teacher for a year. Thereafter, I have been reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's insights on education. In the meantime, technology has transformed communication. Yet, urge for quest of knowledge absent! #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion respects freedom of each individual. It doesn't have any say on lifestyle choices of people. It doesn't believe in binding citizens by imaginary notions of culture. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only cementing factor. #TusarNathMohapatra

Members of other religions, supporters of other political parties, or followers of other gurus can't understand The Mother & Sri Aurobindo accurately. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the only option to this end. Even practitioners of Integral yoga can be misguided. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother heard about Sri Aurobindo in France in 1910 and came to India to meet him in 1914. Thereafter, they achieved many unprecedented successes. This story needs to be told to the world. They are working for evolution to next rung of consciousness, and require collaboration. #TusarNathMohapatra

Spirituality within ordinary life is a known aim of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings but paradoxically the Ashram gives a different picture. Auroville too is mired in confusion. However, simply personal progress is not enough. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine key. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books aren't meant for libraries. People need to read them. And not simply reading; the knowledge should touch their hearts so that they are influenced by them. Then the ideas pass on to society and change it. Devotees should wake up to the challenge.

Savitri Era Religion has a robust intellectual foundation but many factors are operating against it. Paid media and fake news have become normalised and so nobody is bothered about truth. Political parties and religious bodies spread partisan narratives as a matter of right. Sad! 

The Mother and Max Weber

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Debate on Same-sex marriage and Cousin marriage is going on. Prospect of Population decline is turning ominous. Sex plays a critical role in genetic conservation and preservation of human species. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's view on this basic biological function is restrictive.

When I search Sri Aurobindo in @GoogleIndia, results from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, etc are shown but not from Google's own Blogger or Blogspot. This is really strange! Similarly results from News, Books, or Scholars too are absent. Integrated results for 24 hours needed.

Just after switching on my Tablet, when I'm about to open Google News, Google Photos sends me a notification to take a look at a new memory. They can send it a bit later when I'm done with urgent tasks, so that I enjoy the photos in a leisurely mood. But how to advise algorithms?

Books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo published by the Ashram in Puducherry constitute an alternative narrative. Anyone reading them is bound to be impressed by the authors. Being benefitted by them is an individual choice. But not to neglect or ignore them is a national challenge.

Many misconceptions and prejudices against The Mother float around and hence her modern ideas are rarely appreciated. I don't know how far this has been addressed in her recent biography by Peter Heehs. All may not worship her as Supreme Divine but must give her credit where due.

Modern advertising has developed complex strategies and raising controversies before a product is launched is one. Modi and RSS have also employed dedicated detractors to write against them so that their supporters close ranks. Thus, it's hard to believe anyone on this platform.

To say, "being a dedicated engineer is like being a Rishi," is exactly what Max Weber had described as Protestant ethic in 1918. It's also no different from the All life is yoga enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. However, exploitation in the Marxian sense is also involved.

Many will agree that the "opinion of any desi officer in any government agency is almost never going to be fair and unbiased." Here again superiority of Christian upbringing comes to the fore and how British colonialism was part of the evolutionary plan for Sri Aurobindo's advent

Vishal Mangalwadi has written a series of books on Christian ethical paradigm the historical role of which is undeniable. The Bible’s Amazing Impact on Our World, The Father Of Modern India: William Carey, and The Bible and the Making of Modern India, etc.

x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

Dr. Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar has authored an excellent paper titled, Biblical Nationalism and the Making of Modern India: A Historical and Ideological Inquiry, based on the works of Dr. Vishal Mangalwadi. It refutes Nehruvian secularism to exhibit how the Bible is the source.

Self-management is a prominent theme in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's path. Therefore, many devotees prefer to confine themselves within personal concerns. Decency and politeness also demands not to transgress own boundaries. But, ours is a collective yoga with Life Divine as aim.

For people of my generation when there was no Internet, newspaper columnists were like gods. It was one-sided communication and their moral positions were so accurate that no one could find any fault with them. Dhiren Bhagat died young. Others, one by one!

marketime.blogspot.com/2005/07/dhiren…

The Constitution of India envisages some representatives being elected by the citizens, through periodic elections. But certain religious persons speak on behalf of the people without taking the trouble of being elected. This is undemocratic and unethical. Dharma demands mandate!

For evolution, the path is as important as the result. In fact, there's no ultimate result since it's too distant. Looking at the history of India since March 29, 1914 when The Mother met Sri Aurobindo it's apparent how their Integral philosophy is becoming more and more relevant

Surfeit of Webinars caused meltdown to many during lockdown . Now that Podcasts are mushrooming, it's instructive to listen to Vishal Mangalwadi @Mangalwadi_V for brooming our brains. Remembering William Carey along with Raja Ram Mohan Roy is important.

While Savitri Era Religion champions morality, it's difficult to expect it from all devotees. This is true for all religions. However, Modernity, Democracy, Capitalism, etc. have grown on the strength of Christian ethics and we are all beneficiaries of it.

Apart from spreading English, Christian Missionaries were also responsible of development of Bengali, Hindi, and other Indian languages. The Asiatic Society, established by Sir William Jones in 1784, predates The Theosophical Society by almost a century.

Gandhi was mentioned in the context of Civil disobedience but Sri Aurobindo had theorised on it before him. Although the popular impression of the latter is indulging in violence, the facts are opposite. However, he toys with the idea of Spiritual anarchy.

When it comes to the mind, no one is more relevant than The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Consulting them can be hugely rewarding.

incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-sci…

I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 and have posted many clarifications over the years. A cursory glance will reveal many parallels with the history of Christianity. Unfortunately, the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are unable to take the right decision in this regard!

Direct disciples and other scholars were able to produce significant amount of secondary literature, of impeccable standard, on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But they had not faced the menace of Hindutva. I'm writing against it since 2005. I haven't seen anyone else doing the same.

Sri Aurobindo wrote about #WorldUnion and included it in his #FiveDreams but avoided predicting any global-wide religion. Savitri Era Religion fills that vacuum. While his philosophical and poetic works form a formidable treasure, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is lethal!

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005, I encourage everyone to judge issues from multiple angles. Learning from rival opinions is essential for developing the right perspective. All are welcome to seek clarifications on what I write. savitriera.blogspot.com

Philosophy is written in the books but is meant for the mind. No doubt, they have a lot of literary value and even are a source of solace depending upon the situation or person, but the function of philosophy is to mould the mind. The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo is the most apt.

Record of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo is not for the common people. Similarly, it's very difficult to understand what he and The Mother attempted to accomplish at the occult level. But Savitri Era Religion believes that they are always present and worshipping them is the only solution.

Savitri Era Party draws inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who represent Harmony. Social, political, and economic problems in India are legion but the most important is philosophy-deficit. Worshipping them opens the way for imbibing their teachings and transforming life.

A major motivation for launching Savitri Era Religion for me was to escape the complex and confusing maze of mythology. Rejecting rituals also was part of the deal. Social systems like castes and lifestyle restrictions were another inducement. And, finally, getting rid of hatred.

Reading any book of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo amounts to yoga and collaboration with evolution. Reading aloud entails uttering mantra, and creating prayerful ripples of vibration in the atmosphere. While Savitri is well known, the powerful prose of The Life Divine also delivers.

Savitri Era Religion has no relation with other faiths and philosophies. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written commentaries on many ancient texts but Savitri Era Religion is not dependent on them. In fact, it's not dependent on any book or institution. Surrender to TM&SA, crux.

I don't know how I have missed him all these years but Vishal Mangalwadi has been trying to establish the correct narrative as regards the last two centuries. The trio William Jones, William Carey, and T.B. Macaulay created the foundations for modern India

I have been reading that Western philosophers have engendered the modern principles of Humanities whereas Vishal Mangalwadi is emphasising that they all come from the Bible. This is quite revealing. Universities are deceiving us through their secular scheme of education, he says.

History of Christianity and Western philosophy is very important for understanding the significance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. In fact, their philosophy and prophecy can be said to be a continuation of the same tradition. Max Théon is also an intriguing link. Scholars beware!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's pictures and their writings are available online and, therefore, Savitri Era Religion doesn't require any brick and mortar facilities. Each one is free to weave his or her own unique tapestry of relationships with them without any mediation or system.

It's futile to manufacture any new ideology just because the old ones failed to deliver. Savitri Era Party seeks to mend the original defect of ignoring Sri Aurobindo. If The Human Cycle and The Life Divine are true, then there is no power which can stop the evolutionary upsurge.

Although Sri Aurobindo has written about some nations and their salient characteristics, globalisation, multiculturalism, and Internet have transformed the world. Thus, any literal reading of his words may not be correct after more than a century. Devotees shouldn't be misguided.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't endorse any particular lifestyle or form of community living. It's too complex an affair to be organised by spirituality or any other overarching principle. Democracy however is sacrosanct but most institutions run in an exploitative and coercive way.

William Carey carried modernity to India the effect of which still permeates West Bengal. With 27% Muslims and substantial non-Bengali population it can boast of a multicultural society. Its present Govt represents an authentic secular spirit despite misgivings on democracy front

It's important to understand how the spirituality taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is different from tradition and religion. It's also not separate from life, profession, or politics. But insisting on some form of reform must not be equated with aspiration for transformation.

The general impression about British rule is tyranny and exploitation but its positive contributions shouldn't be forgotten. Besides, the selfless work of Christian Missionaries in creating the foundations for education, health, civil services, army, and science etc. is colossal.

Theoretically speaking, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's emphasis on perfect work and money for the sake of the Divine, very much, matches Max Weber's, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Significantly, even Freemasons can be said to be following an identical ideology.

Mother's Agenda provides an account of her priorities after Sri Aurobindo's departure. While her work on the body is a unique contribution in the occult realm tackling the ever-increasing pressure of outward activities was equally challenging. But stress on publicity was lacking!

Rise of Hindutva as a dominant ideology may be looked at as a failure of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy in luring the young and the educated. This isn't due to inferior content but lack of adequate publicity. Savitri Era Party aims at providing orientation and motivation

Not very far from my place, stands Bandel Church, built by the Portuguese in 1599. Many stories of miracle (Bandel means mast in Portuguese) float about it. One relating to The Mother, in connection with construction of the Railway platform, is also there.

Although the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is known to be very profound, it's meant for ordinary individuals. No special quality or qualification is required to practice it. Savitri Era Religion entails worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender.

Savitri Era Religion has no attachment to any variety of mythology or imaginary glorious past. It values modernity ushered in by the Europeans. English is precious since Sri Aurobindo wrote in it. It also supports science and is against Ayurveda, Astrology, and Occult practices.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were at pains to point out that the love, fraternity, or ananda they talked about is not the same as usually understood. They are of a different texture, belong to another realm altogether. That's the reason they don't find much meaning in philanthropy.

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Rituals are part of religion

Backed by mythological fiction

Involve a lot of aesthetics

Plus social support and self-esteem

But they are never voluntary

Are performed under compulsion

What man needs is freedom

Of which he is unaware

Something absolutely new

To take him to himself

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980018847429308764?t=mtfmgQ0pXn1PHTezsg27dA&s=19

Ideologies are umpteen

How to have one for own use

Just what comes by the way

Or through some rational choice

What is rational then

With our limited awareness

Ecosystems and echochambers

Make us a hostage

Man must crave freedom

From falsehood and ignorance

Seek light

Deep inside

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980164219673928088?t=aqRSOlNzXpyZKd6EVWSLJw&s=19

Sun sets in the West is science

Sun doesn't set at all is science too

Climbing a hill widens the horizon

But there's a limit

What we know come from many sources

It's also pouring in every moment

Since the evolution is on

And we're its instruments

So let's be aware

Of its footfall

I wrote on a slate as a child

Now I type on a tablet

Undergirded by undersea cables

Once adumbrated by Whitman

Locke's tabula rasa to Emerson's Oversoul

Nietzsche's Overman to Shaw's Superman

Man's mind is captive of AI

But its brain can rot too

Numbers may dream

Causing migraine

All religions are belief

In some ancient mythology

In idols made of stone or metal

And year-round festivals

Personal welfare and security

Drives devotion and loyalty

They can't be questioned

For they are the God's word

All men are mortal, To err is human

Religion cures confusion

Saying We means

Taking a lot of responsibility

Upon oneself

Generalising too much

And misrepresenting

Bordering on falsehood.

Saying I too

Isn't free from hazards

For the private zone

Is cut off from public sphere

Further the inner self

Keeps on reminding

About false subjectivity

What is spirituality

Is it something different from ordinary life

And being lost in meditation for hours together

No, that's an imaginary state of affairs

Sri Aurobindo advises surrender to The Mother

The Mother too tells Remember and Offer

All within daily life in all activities

Asrani passed away

Leaving behind a formidable legacy

Of lighting up the screen with laughter

Whenever he appears in whatever role.

When there was no TV or Internet

Bollywood used to rule our hearts

He scored centuries through 70s and 80s

And continued to act till two years back.

How Much Land Does a Man Need? (1886) by Leo Tolstoy remains eternally relevant. Every morning, every day, every moment, this question must occupy the mind. I had left my Bank job in 2000. But there are a hundred other attractions also. Ultimately, the trade off is for more gain!

I, first, read about Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach from Nolini. Curiously, he renames the protagonist.

[let us give him a name "Shobhanaka", à la manière de Panchatantra e.g. Damanaka, Karataka, Bhasunaka etc. for he was very fine to look at] incarnateword.in/other-authors/…

I,first, read about Thoreau's Walden and Melville's Moby Dick from, The Adventure of Criticism (1962) by K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar. It's an outstanding book. Amal Kiran (K.D. Sethna) also has a title called, Adventures in Criticism.

I, first, read about Nikos Kazantzakis from A Study of Savitri by Prema Nandakumar apropos his epic, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel. Later on, of course, I read his Zorba the Greek. It won't be irrelevant to mention Cornelius Castoriadis a couple of whose books I have gone through.

I might have heard of him earlier but had completely forgotten. I was stirred out of my peace yesterday when I read about Max Stirner who is known to have influenced many including Marx and Nietzsche. A significant but controversial figure who was suppressed by his contemporaries

BlueSky is an intellectual hub. Someone responded with the following link. A very informative article lsr-projekt.de/poly/ennietzsc…

[Sri Aurobindo and Max Stirner represent diametrically opposed philosophies concerning the individual, society, and the ultimate purpose of life.] GoogleAI

[Max Stirner? ... to whom Karl Marx had given the brush-off? The anarchist, egoist, nihilist, the crude precursor of Nietzsche? Yes, he. Having a very bad reputation in the world of philosophy, ... but even now he possesses that intellectual dynamite ...]

The Bible and the Making of Modern India By VISHAL MANGALWADI is an important document to understand our present circumstances. This also provides the background to situate the epochal contributions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in appropriate perspective.

Hope you are aware of the controversy over various Savitri editions. Introductions by A.B. Purani and Prema Nandakumar are helpful. Quotations can be misleading as different characters are there. My suggestion is to begin from Part Two, Book Four, Canto I.

Rani Rashmoni built the Dakshineswar Kali temple for all castes and religions. This must be a very revolutionary act for her time. This is before Ramakrishna or Vivekananda come to the picture. She may be possible inspiration for Vivekananda's social work.

Most of pujo is over. J pujo in Chandannagar is imminent. For me listening varieties of music over DJ is the most attractive part. Although different kinds of North Indian songs are played, Odia is perhaps treated as South Indian and hence no entry. Let's hope Mahua factor helps!

While doing work or taking food, concerns over body or age-related issues come to the fore. Even while listening to music also that wistful feeling for the past precipitates. But during the time my mind is engaged in reading or writing, it's a seamless, neutral, ever-young space!
