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.

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

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.

https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33

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

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.

Poems, books, and songs

 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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980237133467296026?t=MP0BoBbwbMeco8vxNndlmQ&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980281024140738712?t=PJKmRMeY4zXifY_t3-xeGg&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980370571990036844?t=yWwuvnrCdhH7_Bo79DO0FA&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980980021062979822?t=Co0exzVmCt0uKY4slSadBQ&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980737176381067567?t=7Hyg0lWsv9l9KEeTve3Yjg&s=19

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.

I have been writing about me all these years since nobody else would do it. So, I must thank GoogleAI for taking the trouble of assessing my performance and summarising it in an admirable manner. @Wikipedia

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!

The work of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't simply be evaluated from what's apparent for their occult implications are immense. Therefore, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is necessary for deriving maximum advantage from evolutionary advance. It's Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo Studies can be a subject in colleges. But Savitri Era Religion is more interested in understanding the essentials for collaboration with evolution. The first step is worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and not comparing them with others.

The multicultural background of The Mother remains a mystery. Why no one else recognised her except Sri Aurobindo is an enigma. This dollop of mythology is a precious possession of Savitri Era Religion. Her vision of human unity and harmony competes with some top utopian thinkers. 

राजनीति को सत्ता का पर्याय नहीं माना जाना चाहिए। न ही कोई व्यक्ति-पूजा इसे बहुत आगे ले जा सकती है। विचारधारा ही आधार है, और मैं श्रीअरविंद को केंद्रबिंदु मानने पर ज़ोर देता रहा हूँ। शायद अभी समय नहीं आया है!

Politics shouldn't be synonymous with power. Nor any personality cult can carry it very far. Ideology is the fulcrum and I have been harping on accepting Sri Aurobindo as the focal point. May be the time hasn't come! However, Savitri Era Party, started in 2007, is an alternative.

History of BJP shows how Hindutva was able to grow, and the possibility of its decline along with BJP nosediving. Having observed different ideologies dominating at different points during the last Seventy years, I'm confident that the nation will be forced to ping Sri Aurobindo.

Social media creates the illusion of being a great communicator and influencer but not to lose balance is essential. Advocacy is a valid activity but coming to believe one's say as the only truth is problematic. Peer review and critical scrutiny is vital but not many are trained.

Our planet is not symmetrical and human beings don't have uniform physical features. Hence expecting that all countries should be equally developed is absurd. Since evolution is responsible for the present status, demanding a different prospect than its own plan is preposterous.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have probed ontological questions, but it's difficult to find any clear answer to functioning of the world or human behaviour. Savitri Era Party, therefore, doesn't find fault with the past. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine.

My concept of the Market approximates to Sri Aurobindo's Integral Advaita. It can be called Marketime or simply Logistics, considering its dynamic nature. Thus nothing is outside the Market. Further not taking any action also amounts to action as popularised by P.V. Narasimha Rao. 

The secular atmosphere promoted by Congress was a given in the first half of my life. But the second half has seen discordant rumblings of Hindutva. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have a stake in both the scenarios. Extracting that golden mean would mean tons of goodwill and sagacity. 

My formula is not to look at the past for solutions for the future is full of possibilities. Having seen the Fall of the Berlin Wall and Dissolution of USSR, I'm hopeful that events will overtake us. Savitri Era Religion believes that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present. 

Born and brought up in a village, I have lived in semi-urban, urban, and metropolitan areas in four different States. I have lived under all the Prime Ministers of India during the last seventy years. I am conversant with Odia, Bengali, Hindi, and English.

Are you aware of my handle? Hope you discover some genuineness here.

The story of Odisha isn't known much. Babaji Maharaj Sri Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti (Kangali Charan Pati) started the Pathachakra movement whereby weekly Study Circles were conducted in towns and villages. This resulted in large number of devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology, tradition, and ritual. It has got no intermediaries. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't propose any fixed system of practice for Integral yoga. Each devotee is free to develop his own method of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine. 

Somehow, I don't feel it proper to paste the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo here. One can paraphrase and spur discussion. Writing long hand is a better meditative act. Using the latest edition is good where instead of IN it would be In. Whether, a few lines or few lines?

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.

Fine. Btw, are you aware of @shiv_cybersurg? He is also an admirer of Sri Aurobindo and you can explore commonalities.

Yes, with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 to be read before 2.8.3.

The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo are here incarnateword.in/cwsa. You can read at random and let your interest lead you to the right book. Besides, a lot of secondary literature is also there incarnateword.in/other-authors.

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.

Spirituality has no holiday, M.P. Pandit had remarked once. In a similar vein, it can be said that spirituality has no festivals. The habit of celebrations belong to the past. Savitri Era Religion doesn't encourage any special enthusiasm or exuberance to be reserved for any day.

The two sections are not watertight compartments. Growth and evolution is gradual. No one can decide in advance from where the next tranche of inspiration is going to come. The first principle life is that there are no principles. Nevertheless A drop of ink makes a million think!

Aditi and other Deities in the Veda by M.P. Pandit is available here. ia601400.us.archive.org/12/items/in.er

Savitri Era Learning Forum: The Mother’s boundless affection, tenderness, and compassion selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-mo

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been publishing this blog uninterruptedly since 2005. Each post is basically a compilation of relevant links.

While ensuring Hindu purity or rejuvenating its structures is a commendable intention, accurate evaluation of the past and promoting honest discourse is also Dharma. The way the so-called Hinduism has evolved till now, it can't be reversed. I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are guiding the humanity for more than a century now. The Ashram, established by them in 1926, acts as a beacon of light as regards knowledge is concerned. Their books are a veritable University meant for self-study and research. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Reform is possible only when you acknowledge evil selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/reform

This blog is dedicated to the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo while disseminating links to allied relevant studies and debates. Inputs welcome @ tusarnmohapatra@gmail.com

She is also famous in Bengali films. Deya Neya was remade in Hindi as Anurodh.

The rigmarole of deciphering diametrically opposite opinions on various great men, here, is so frustrating! In that sense, Peter Heehs has provided objective accounts of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother in their respective biographies authored by him. Also cover contemporary history.

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!

After Independence we were fed with text book definitions of a nation, democracy, plurality, values in public life, role of media, etc although the reality was otherwise. Over the years, human nature took over and transparency surfaced. Thus the evolution is more honest and true!

Yes sir! Characters kam pad gaye! That's the weakness and also the strength because they provide raw muscle to right leadership.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't work for promoting Hindu religion or any other religion for that matter. They didn't work for only India. So any reductionist portrayal of them is erroneous. Aligning them or appropriating them for own narrow ideology, therefore, is highly flawed. 

Indira Gandhi secured votes from all sections of the society. But Kejriwal arose as a youth icon and garnered support just like JP and VP. But his downfall like Prafulla Mahanta was sure. Modi harnessed different tactics. It's good that manipulative politics is running its course. 

Yahan har saree ek kahani kehti hai

Since I was preoccupied with reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books and allied literature, I haven't read, practically, anything else apart from some Western philosophy. Thus I have no affinity with any other personality or school of thought. This, I suppose, is an advantage.

My inability to understand English has kept me away from Western movies and music. I haven't interacted with any foreigner nor have gone abroad. Still I consider myself possessing the right perspective, despite my supposed naïveté, which is quite apparent on this platform itself.

I have been associated with the #WorldUnion movement since 1982, and it has been my strong belief that the world is moving, exactly, in the direction as charted by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto. With the same aim in view, I had launched the Savitri Era Party in 2007.

Savitri Era Party is confident that the nation will recognise The Mother & Sri Aurobindo one day. There are thousands of people who would agree with my views but unfortunately my posts aren't reaching them. Harmony and not hatred is our agenda. Fraternity and not war is our goal.

There's no empirical evidence of Integral yoga producing verifiable results. As such, Savitri Era Religion refrains from endorsing it. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present and surrender to them is the most convenient way for all.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to Hindutva. Hence against RSS, BJP, and Modi.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to Dynasty. Hence against Congress and some Regional parties.

~Savitri Era Party supports maximum two Terms. Hence against BJD and TMC.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP.

Savitri Era Party demands exit policy for all members of SC/ST so that those who want to come out of the Constitutional prison may do so voluntarily without any social or legal hurdle. Similar facility should be available for relinquishing entitlement to reservation. #AllAreEqual

Vinoba Bhave had started the Bhoodan movement long back. Many top leaders had resigned under the Kamaraj Plan. SC/ST citizens should come forward to become #AllAreEqual in the same spirit. They will be doing a great service to their future generations. Savitri Era Party supports.

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with the Ashram or Auroville model of living. It has got no special affinity with any specific social or political ideology. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is only requirement. Imbibing their ideals is vital. 

Most educated men haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books and their impression of him remains confined to the first decade of the last century. They are dismissive of his spiritual turn and work with The Mother. This is a lopsided appraisal as his prediction of Life Divine is ignored.

The phrase, Social fabric perhaps truly captures the spirit of harmony although the latter denotes a much vaster province ranging from man's inner world to outer universe. Fraternity and democracy are also key components for an ideal public sphere which Savitri Era Party aims at.

Savitri Era Religion is the logical outcome of my personal growth

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The other day, I received a request to buy and read the book, Svayambodha and Shatrubodha and also join their WhatsApp group, if interested. Since I don't use WhatsApp or Online Banking, I excused myself. Now, of course, I'm part of Arattai and feel proud that my wait bore fruit. I also intimated that I'm not very enthusiastic about the kind of things they are engrossed with. Having lived in the psychological environment of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for over sixty years, it's a Blessing for me not to be attracted by run-of-the-mill concerns and impulses.

As I turn 70 today, I look back at the last 20 years during which I have consistently provided intellectual leadership centring around The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. savitriera.blogspot.com and selforum.blogspot.com continue to spread right perspective and light of wisdom and yoga. With reasonable material achievements, and daughters in intellectual atmosphere, I take satisfaction from the leap out of the Odisha village where I was born and brought up. Odisha, however, leads the country in having the largest number of devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Not being part of any outside organisation or group, I may claim to have provided a reasonably independent, objective, neutral, and critical view of things, via Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party, in contrast to the partisanship and biligerence witnessed on this platform. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aim at Perfection and Harmony. Although, it's not easy to achieve it at the human level, understanding the dynamics of it from their books is the task. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been encouraging people to read, since 2005. Savitri Era Religion is the logical outcome of my personal growth, study, and social struggle. Since their complex system of philosophy and yoga remained confined to a tiny minority, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for popularity.

People are constantly evaluating various persons in history, and how different events shaped the future. The answers aren't easy to find because deliberate distortion of narratives is going on. Therefore, repeating, Sri Aurobindo is the greatest poet and philosopher is necessary.

Savitri Era Religion is confident that the present religions, and their various versions, will face severe interrogation by the younger generation. In such an event, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will be the most logical step given their formidable intellectual treasure.

When a doctor or engineer tells about consciousness or yoga, he is taken more seriously. But it should be remembered that science and non-science are different fields. Sri Aurobindo's Adventure of consciousness is a matter of psychology, and is yet to be established empirically. 

Thanks @archieposts for defending Sri Aurobindo, but a deeper look would reveal there's a grain of truth in the criticism of him. He may not be a British agent as alleged, but he and The Mother were certainly the agents of Enlightenment. His, The Secret of the Veda is subversive.

None of us are privy to a vision of a Rishi. So it would be better if you can tell how your reading differs from me. Academic discussion necessary instead of rhetoric.

That's subjective but the books are there in the public domain. In the yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, there can be successive experiences. I don't think you have read The Secret of the Veda with due attention.

Sri Aurobindo's thoughts are revolutionary.

Sri Aurobindo proposes a new interpretation by discarding traditional commentaries like Sayana's. He provides symbolic meanings like Indra = mind. Thus the mythological gods and goddesses turn different levels of consciousness. He also interpretes Yajnya as internal. So no ritual. 

I'm saying exactly that which is subversive of tradition.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't believe that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't want to create any new religion. They knew that the field is not prepared and disciples have to be weaned away from their respective past environments. Therefore they euphemistically called it a new yoga.

India is a multiparty democracy and Savitri Era Party has a distinct ideology. Although The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were not interested in active politics, the situation of the country warrants that their admirers, devotees, and followers come forward to give leadership to people.

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.

Borrowing books from library, and paying late fee at times, was routine. So, when Internet arrived at home in 2005, it was like manna from heaven. 20 years later, GoogleAI provides ready-made research on any question which surpasses human capability. And, it's just the beginning!

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Tusar Nath Mohapatra selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/tusar-…

I have been writing about me all these years since nobody else would do it. So, I must thank GoogleAI for taking the trouble of assessing my performance and summarising it in an admirable manner. @Wikipedia

Devotion to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, transcends their biographies. Drawing their power and compassion for the current problems of the world and future harmony necessitates our love, loyalty, and surrender.

Political battle between different religions go on uninterrupted, but Savitri Era Religion reminds of the transcendent. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk about evolution of the inherent divine consciousness towards truth, perfection, and endlessness. All are invited to collaborate!

Savitri Era Party is nothing but an aspiration for giving shape to the #FiveDreams, #WorldUnion, and #TheLifeDivine. Yet I'm accused of nourishing political ambition! It's high time the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo realised that they would have to come forward and unite. 

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. 

Interesting debate is going on on Vivekananda. It's unfortunate that correct information is not available even on him. However, Savitri Era Religion is firmly against astrology, mythology, and rituals. Reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo can shed light on this aspect.

Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams speech was broadcast over All India Radio, Tiruchirappalli, a few hours before which has more significance for the future of India and the world. Needless to mention that August 15, 1947 happened to be his 75th birth anniversary incarnateword.in/cwsa/36/the-fi…

The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home

Savitri Era: Eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/09/eradic

+ President, Savitri Era Party.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Managing the mind through the waking hours is a strenuous task. Involuntary traffic via genes and hormones is difficult to regulate. Voluntary activity is constrained by the varieties of transactions vis-à-vis the surrounding. The Divine grace ultimately administers some balance.

Initially, hydrogen and helium were formed and other elements took birth subsequently through an evolutionary process. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo rely heavily on the same process of evolution for solution to myriad problems of collective living. Collaboration of all is necessary.

The dynamics of surrender has been explained by Sri Aurobindo in the fifth chapter of The Mother book. From a servant or worker to an instrument and then a child with complete identification with The Mother. This also shows how All life is yoga is possible

incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mo

Savitri Era Party has been demanding abolition of reservations and all other discriminations on the basis of religions or castes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises entails opting for Savitri Era Religion.

Durga Puja in West Bengal is an extraordinary phenomenon. Apart from being a collage of devotion, fashion, entertainment, etc., it is also a college of culture and management where even newborns start learning. Cosmopolitan atmosphere is in keeping with the spirit of Renaissance. 

It's quite interesting to hear how Richard Hartz became a follower of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. His own interest in philosophical matters led him to read The Life Divine and other books in the University library. Truly significant

incarnateword.in/audio/richard-…

It's not about territory or ethnicity. It is purely a religious conflict and Savitri Era Religion is the only solution. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises and worshipping them amounts to collaboration with evolution.

The greatest offer of India is The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The world is unwilling to read their books or discuss their philosophy, but Savitri Era Religion will bypass that obstacle. This is a silent revolution. The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home. #FiveDreams

Conflict is the cornerstone any organic functioning. Biology stands on it. Thus wishing away conflict is against human psychology. Even competition is not always friendly; cut-throat signifies violence. If conflict generates new energy and new dynamism, so be it!

There has been some elemental barriers to India's development for which no single party or person can be blamed. May be we have developed in a far greater way in other spheres which hasn't been recognised adequately. But let's hope this particular moment has evolutionary sanction. 

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1970068729037029755?t=Grtk9fv_j610WTEKy1DryA&s=19

Many intellectuals and academics in India haven't cared to read the works of the greatest poet and philosopher, Sri Aurobindo. I don't know about you but if you have not read The Human Cycle or The Life Divine please make it a point to do it. That would be a really new beginning.

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.

I'm following 544 handles at the moment. Very important voices; collectively, they can be said to be forming a virtual Lok Sabha. Unfortunately, democracy hasn't been able to recognise the power of Social media. Similarly, people here also should learn to elect representatives.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent revolutionary changes which are difficult to define or imagine on the basis of past happenings. Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose any fixed formula or preconceived worldview. However, #FiveDreams form broad guidelines for the whole humanity.

I haven't seen anyone here reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books systematically. However, videos of certain persons are spreading wrong impressions of them. While this can't be avoided, the need for authentic information is very much there. Copy-paste brigade should wake up!

Savitri Era Party has been campaigning against Hindutva on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's vision of the future. It's also against Congress, the Left, AAP, and Ambedkar's ideology. Apart from abolition of reservations, granting Sovereignty to the States is its demand.

Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo warrants redrawing our sense of the world. Concern for one's own religion or nation has to take a backseat. The Mother's force can act through anyone, even in an apparently negative way. For the trajectory of evolution is never straight. 

In the bank, calculating interest exactly to the pie was the norm. After resigning from the bank, when I invested some amount in Mutual funds its value fluctuated on a daily basis unlike Fixed Deposits. This was a new reality coinciding with my study of postmodernism at that time. 

Savitri Era Religion owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is free from mythology, tradition, and rituals. It has no connection with any other religion or philosophy. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the only requisite without any initiation or intermediary.

India is full of problems, but poverty is the most important which is forgotten these days. Identity issues are taking centre stage, instead. However, following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can facilitate many solutions. Right narrative and right framework of thinking is essential.

Scores of handles try to defend an imaginary Hindu narrative, but fail to understand evolutionary intention. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to give the most modern worldview where clinging to the past is not a virtue. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are right options.

Yes DYC should be congratulated. Congratulated for reopening the most fundamental issue of what is truth and how should it be apprehended. This one issue which redefined both common sense as well as the Indian Constitution should be examined afresh. Power ephemeral, truth eternal

Savitri Era Party doesn't believe in any presumptive version of history or victim hood. There should be no hesitation in recognising the contribution of Christianity in shaping the modern world. Plus, there shouldn't be an iota of doubt that modern India is a gift of Colonialism.

Availability of matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo online has multipled manifold during the last decade, but people are unable to draw benefits from them due to confusion and prejudice. Even longtime followers of The Mother are not clear in their approach towards her.

Tourists who visit Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, or Auroville, return with a sense of bewilderment which they tend to forget after a time. Reading a few booklets also doesn't help much. Savitri Era Religion seeks to put worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at the forefront.

Since Savitri Era Religion is based on a new ontology, philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo needs to be read accordingly. Similarly, Savitri Era Party overlooks many of their assertions and predictions. Further, not to be overenthusiastic on yoga instructions is important too. 

In many functions and conferences, learned speakers are invited to address the gathering. While the subject is dealt with with utter sincerity, the content hardly percolates to the audience. Thus, the first task should be why anybody should be interested in these kind of topics.

Cultural programmes are part of most functions and a lot of mythology is invoked through them. The same is true for devotional music which is generally considered harmless. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may take care not to be unduly influenced by mythological fiction.

Thinking is available to all human beings and an idea can come from anybody. Expressing that and managing something are two different areas. It's also true that one becomes an instrument of intuition while writing, or speaking, for that matter.

Savitri Era Religion grew out of my personal circumstances. Google was born today in 1998. I had also shifted to my new home in Shipra Riviera five months earlier in the same year. A computer and Internet arrived in 2005. Google provided free Blogspot. And Savitri Era took birth.

Savitri Era Religion ended confusion on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They are one consciousness, the one Supreme Divine; nothing less, nothing more. No more addressing them as guru, yogi, rishi, sage, or avatara. No longer any scope of taking shelter under the obfuscation of yoga.

Orientation in another path is a lifelong barrier in accepting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. I had the advantage of coming to them at an early age. Intellectual bulwark grew later. Savitri Era Religion is an excellent opportunity for channelising one's energy and mentality, aright.

Since I had no control over the place of my birth, i don't harbour any victim hood or pride. The only pride and gratitude is that The Mother chose me before I was intellectually mature to read and choose Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party push alternatives.

Avatar of The Essays on the Gita turns into emergence in The Life Divine which makes Sri Aurobindo's philosophy Messianic. Savitri Era Religion aspires to solve all geopolitical problems like Palestine or Partition of India. The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home. 

Savitri Era Religion is for the future generations since present followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are too occupied with old religions and rituals. So much so that the hypocrisy and vacillation is too apparent. There's no compulsion and each person should take his own time.

Conquests and Colonialism are certainly crucial from the point of view of history but defeats and degeneration of culture are equally important from the evolutionary standpoint. How traffic of ideas and wisdom contributed to shape the future should also receive adequate attention. 

Thanks. I just allude to Sri Aurobindian insights. Yeah, that's for the people in general but we the devotees worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Trouncing Hitler is the modern day mythology.

Eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Thousands of students pass out from schools named after Sri Aurobindo but it's doubtful whether they accept even a fraction of his philosophy. In fact, the mythological atmosphere prevents young minds to be philosophically inclined. But The Mother & Sri Aurobindo never lost hope.

I had met Patrice once in World Book Fair in Delhi. His enthusiasm for Mother's Agenda was really infectious. Today, the environment is such that to talk about The Mother's experiments on body seems absurd. Geopolitical speculation has so much pull that who cares for Immortality?

These issues should be free from any emotional attachment. Scientific inquiry should proceed regardless of what Sri Aurobindo wrote over a century back. It's necessary to be conscious that many of Sri Aurobindo's assertions lacked empirical buttress.

I lack competence for scrutinising such complicated technical matters. What our Universities teach should guide my thinking at the moment.

That's a larger issue but in this context your being Tamil, Sri Aurobindo's admirer, and sympathetic to Hindu nationalism introduces suspicion into what's purely an academic issue. You are certainly free to present your findings for public scrutiny to earn favourable credentials.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1967972638778855450?t=bugC_t2yMrP5C9SeX2avWg&s=19

No other Prime Minister had enjoyed such spontaneous popularity and uninterrupted support from the masses. Leading the nation and the party undisputed for twelve years would have been impossible without evolutionary intention. But lack of transparency and accountability tarnishes

Religious scriptures have been there for thousands of years without making much difference to human condition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise the power of aspiration which enkindle text into mantra. Not through empty rituals, but by purity and sincerity in the entire being.

India ceased to be a modern and forward looking society in November 1990, when V.P. Singh govt. fell. Democratic ethos took a downward turn. Falsehood and Fascist tendencies grew. Media revolution has been in overdrive for reversing the emancipatory characteristics of evolution.

Being a law-abiding citizen takes care of most demands of morality but eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy. Integral yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has a big role here. Understanding human nature and its intricacies facilitates locating origin of undesirable promptings. 

Wrong ontology can lead to defective worldviews. Each religion teaches one and Dharma is quite comfortable with Monarchy and subjugating dissent. Democracy, on the contrary, empowers the Individual and his voice. 1947 signifies a watershed, for this very reason. Let's protect it.

Whatever may be its political ramifications, Deepak Vohra should be thanked for foregrounding the problem of sex in old age which seldom receives any thought. However, it is to be noticed, how creative and circumventing one can become for expressing love to someone. Hail Freud!

Just clicked this picture. This place too needs attention since people are concerned about even Mumbai sea-facing promenade.



Leaders are surely capable but others are also waiting for opportunity. Retirement age or stipulating maximum number of terms is a must for justice in this matter. Democracy needs to discourage rise of personality cult and dynasty. There shouldn't be any room for indispensability. 

Upholding democracy is the responsibility of each citizen. Like spirituality, practicing it in the day-to-day life is also important. Social media interactions should reflect that. Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is an excellent alternative. 

Savitri Era Religion is the most convenient way for freedom from the clutches of mythology, tradition, and rituals. Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offer profuse opportunities for thinking in new ways and learning unprecedented insights. No fixed method of practice needed.

So many things are being said through videos and movies, but what's the use? It's only by writing books and articles that new facts and arguments can be presented in a forceful manner. Apart from competence, credibility of the author is also crucial. All these takes long to earn.

Singling out Modi is not enough. You should also show where and how the whole Dharma bandwagon, of which he is a product, errs. That would be more constructive contribution.

I don't agree. Everything can change in the Congress except the centre. That's an anomaly; against democracy.

Savitri Era Religion will change the world. Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 draws the future road map, the blueprint of which was laid down in The Life Divine. The Mother has indicated Supramental consciousness in principle on February 29, 1956.

Hindutva has imprisoned Sri Aurobindo in Uttarpara. He is nothing beyond the speech he delivered there. His Puducherry period, and whatever he wrote there, is completely ignored. They are of no use! Still better than the Congress and the Left for whom Sri Aurobindo doesn't exist!

Nothing is outside the Market and its progression is irreverent of human life span or Calendar divisions of time. Individuals are surely clueless before the complex dynamics of the Market and hence no one should claim prescience. State is part of the Market.

Market is never perfect nor assures swift result conforming to fond hopes. Inequity is integral to Market. Market hates fixed rules and loves to surprise. Human stupidity is the currency with which it runs its Casinos. Market invents ability and responds via chaotic interventions. 

The cultural and educative components of Sri Aurobindo's writings are enormous. Every person should have some exposure to it. However, his more revolutionary contributions pertain to religion and politics. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party provide suitable alternatives.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave a new philosophy to the world. They also introduced the concept of yoga for putting it into practice for participating in the evolutionary march towards a higher consciousness. Transformation of human nature is the focus leading to an ideal society. 

Different types of solutions are mooted by different people but the future is uncertain as the evolutionary intention is under wraps. Savitri Era Party prefers surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their grace without insisting on any particular ilk of Development template.

Humanities education in India should be revamped with Sri Aurobindo at the centre. Phenomenology and postmodernism need not be construed as purely Western contribution. Sri Aurobindo's hermeneutical approach in reinventing tradition and upturning religious canon break new ground.

"It was the hour before the Gods awake." And, I go to bed. "We do not belong to the past dawns, but to the noons of the future." Not being interested in dawn, I sleep through the forenoon and get up at noon. That's perhaps the timings for the Future man! "Hour of the unexpected."

Savitri Era: Dismal future of dominant religions savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/09/dismal

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Attachment to mythology and rituals is so strong that a free and rational environment is unthinkable for people. Benefits accruing from social aspects of religion are a constant attraction. Political identity and national pride have great pull. Savitri Era Party is an alternative. 

Opportunity for Modi too. x.com/SavitriEra/sta

I left Odisha and came to Delhi in 1988 and since then, it has been a fruitful period of learning and getting oriented with diverse fields. However, my optimism has dwindled over the years due to failure of politics in stimulating any positive change. Let's pray to Sri Aurobindo.

Most are eager to provide a macro view of things that's likely after a decade or so. It's not astrology or any other science. It's just bluffing with sophistication. This faculty of human mind can never be surpassed by AI. Speculation is deemed as true as per number of followers!

Ascent and descent as represented by the two triangles forming Sri Aurobindo's symbol is a unique ontological formulation highlighting the ongoing evolution. The same has been told as the joint action of aspiration and grace in The Mother book. All life is yoga is very much this.

When Nolini left, M.P. Pandit took over as editor of Advent. I was also reading him from World Union and Service Letter. I used to wonder how he is able to integrate such diverse ideas and write in such liquid-like English. Met him in #WorldUnion Conference in Bengaluru, in 1985.

Amusing to read daily debates on what is Hinduism, who is a Hindu, whether India is a Hindu Rashtra, why RSS and BJP are not protecting Hindu interests, how can Hindu traditions be incorporated in Govt programmes, etc. We at Savitri Era Religion are thankfully safe from all these. 

Amal Kiran is famous for his poetry and literary criticsm, but he was also into history; "That one small head could carry all he knew." However, despite many pleading for rejecting the AIT, Savitri Era Party is in favour of waiting for conclusive evidence. incarnateword.in/other-authors/…

When relation with America is strained, let me recollect that I studied B. Sc., B. Ed. (1973-76) in Regional College of Education, Bhubaneswar which was set up by NCERT with American collaboration. It was a great experience with students from the Eastern and North Eastern region.

Chandannagar is Puducherry for this part of the country. Was remembering Sri Aurobindo while moving around and crossing the river. What was the hurry to sail to Puducherry? Because Paul Richard was to arrive there and meeting him was necessary so that The Mother gets the message.

I am following 345 handles as of today and a few of them are acquainted with my account. Most of them are top content creators on this platform with thousands of followers. Many possess high level of professional expertise. However, I don't agree with their views and stand alone.

Apart from the influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, family atmosphere and living in different environments has shaped my thinking. The liberal atmosphere of Odisha and the writings of its great sons and daughters have certainly prepared me for the present role in social media. 

Lack of awareness about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their philosophy is causing great harm to the country. People are being exploited by various organisations through their divisive ideologies. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the best option in such a situation.

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking had created an intellectual storm in 1988. I had come to Delhi the same year, and read a long review of it in Caravan. Later, I read The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979) by Gary Zukav. All these were interesting, but Sri Aurobindo stood out.

Kishor Gandhi wrote books on Sri Aurobindo's socio-political philosophy. Apart from M.P. Pandit, Shyam Sundar Jhunjhunwala used to provide guidance on socio-political issues through Sri Aurobindo's Action. Kittu Reddy was active in this arena but unfortunately turned to Hindutva.

Savitri Era Religion has no institutional bondage or formal ritual, and so, provides complete autonomy to the devotees in the matter of developing relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It has also the advantage of not being connected with any other religion or philosophy.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose any stipulation or restriction on lifestyle choices and personal celebrations. Rather, it encourages innovation and creativity in designing various aspects of collective life, in keeping with the Integral spirit of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo were conversant with occult practices and therefore they emphasised silence and exploring inner countries. The outside world however is different and Savitri Era Religion is about love, devotion, and surrender to them for collaboration with evolution.

Nice. Thankfully, all these things are well documented.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo belong to the whole world. Their writings have epochal repercussions for the entire humanity. However, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is essential for descent of the Supramental consciousness. That is the crux of their philosophy and action.

How can a Professor of English term a word a phrase? x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

No, I asked about ‘Atmanization’ in the book.

[Noa Schwartz Feuerstein calls it ‘Atmanization’, a phrase that I like very much.]

You have identified the word Atmanization as a phrase. Is it an oversight or deliberate?

As regards psychicisation, the trajectory of voluntary effort is also constrained by the prior Psychic plan!

The Life Divine couldn't be written before Darwin

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Being economic units Ashram and Auroville have their own compulsions and limitations whereas Savitri Era Religion is absolutely devotee oriented. The concept of Collective yoga is different from collective meditation or celebration of Special days. No dependence on intermediaries. 

Every year thousands of students take admission in colleges and out of those only a very few study philosophy. They certainly get a different orientation in life which stand them in good stead in professional sphere too. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is similar to it. 

Indians long for technology made by Indians. Westerners too take great care not to cross the boundary of Western philosophy. Hundreds of books are published every year but they wouldn't touch Sri Aurobindo with a barge pole. Philosophy suffers as a result and humanity as a whole.

Many tend to portray Kejriwal in a simplistic fashion, but he continues to be a source of confusion and chaos. The whole chain of events from Ramdev to Modi can't said to have been neatly scripted and executed by Kejriwal. Evolutionary forces were at work. x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

People were shocked when I talked about politics with relation to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. In the process, I earned more detractors than followers. Launching Savitri Era Religion also added fuel to the fire. But I have carried on singlehandedly with utmost conviction and hope.

The last twenty years are an important period in the intellectual history of India during which most people became confused, and lost their integrity. But thanks to Google Blogspot and Twitter or X, I have been able to provide an independent line of thinking due to Sri Aurobindo.

A compilation of his journal articles from 1942 onwards, The Meeting of the East and the West in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy by Sisir Kumar Maitra was published in 1956. I was also born, the same year, and am indebted to this book for stimulating my interest in Western philosophy.

Darwin's evolution and Freud's unconscious mind were hanging in the balance and Sri Aurobindo explained them on the basis of the Vedic ladder of consciousness. Descent of Supramental is an inevitability and worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is basic. 

The ladder of consciousness should be understood in conjunction with the four facets of Divine manifestation as delineated by Sri Aurobindo in The Secret of the Veda. Varuna, Aryaman, Mitra, and Bhaga broadly corresponding with Maheshwari et al have social ramification as castes.

@sharmasatyan Sri Aurobindo has explained the phenomenon of Varna divisions on different occasions. The four suns, viz., Varuna, Aryaman, Mitra, and Bhaga broadly correspond to it. He has a similar classification for four powers of Divine Mother elsewhere. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/the-gu…

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1966109743069671524?t=4REJQoUUOKZggEMRkZJQRQ&s=19

While your advocacy for the Hindu cause can't be contested, creating an artifical category like HINOs appears anomalous. How would you explain dividing the Hindu society by such a caste like feature. Besides, is questioning the religious orientation of people in a democracy okay?

There can be many such descriptions but you are basically fighting for the acknowledged Hindu population in India (covered by the Hindu Code for instance). Thus dividing them under the rubric of some arbitrary attribution like HINO is patently a contradiction. It's also insulting. 

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1966169874352451679?t=ScbrD0KBI4iJDCqNbOh8vA&s=19

Apart from the biological uniqueness of individuals, the Vedic taxonomy of human nature lays bare a more complex scenario. The overall ontological formulation matters. Opting for the right philosophy, therefore, is important. x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

While one is free to choose his or her food according to personal choice, the same doesn't hold good for philosophy. Following a faulty philosophy can lead a person to disastrous decisions. The Vedic worldview as restored by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the safest course in life. 

Subscribing to an ideology or narrative that suits one's social and cultural background is common among people. The job of philosophy, however, is to jolt the mind out of the comfort zone. The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, in this context, are magnificently significant. #TusarNathMohapatra

Without the audacity of claiming any spiritual experience or realisation, may I affirm that whatever I'm writing today is the result of cumulative intellectual activity spanning seven decades. One is liable to be misguided without adequate reading. Sri Aurobindo demands reading.

Supporting evolutionary forces is important but Savitri Era Party fails to find anyone in the current political milieu of India. Similarly, it doesn't take any stand on international situation since it's so chaotic. But churning is on and will lead to Sri Aurobindo's #WorldUnion.

Savitri Era Religion, valiantly, believes that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. This liberates from the bondage of mythologies and imagined narratives of manufactured history. Reading Savitri can usher in harmony.

Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion backed by a coherent metaphysics. It operates at the psychological level without any external prop. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine amounts to conscious collaboration with evolution.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their content shouldn't be the only objective. Understanding them takes long but reading on a regular basis creates an atmosphere of serenity and harmony. The very mechanical process of reading has its own effect and vibrations.

Integral education is known in a far wider circle than Integral yoga. It also features in the University syllabus. Further, there are over a thousand schools in the county dedicated to this ideal. NEP 2020, too, is said to have elements of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings.

Universal unconditional love doesn't expect anything in return. Top professionals blending their experience with spirituality is a rarity. Dr. R.L. Kashyap was able to accomplish a lot vis-à-vis Veda. And Dr. Ramesh Bijlani continues to radiate his wisdom.

Decent people are generally reticent about their religious belief and most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are ultra-decent in this respect. But this also helps to be diplomatic and avoid taking any firm stand. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party provide confidence.

Many new States have taken birth in India and creation of new Nations in future can't be ruled out. Geopolitical transformations are very much part of evolutionary plan and it would be much more profitable to explore such possibilities instead of constantly delving into the past.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine also involves thinking about why their background, culture, or historical circumstances were so dissimilar and complex. But then it's all in the scheme of evolution. The Life Divine couldn't be written before Darwin. 

While Sri Aurobindo is waxing eloquent about the concept of Avatar in The Essays on the Gita, the same is conspicuous by its absence in his magnus opus, The Life Divine. Moreover the problem has been compounded by the Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo themselves.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the fundamental tenet of Savitri Era Religion. Thus, overlooking many of their historical contexts and utterances is necessary. Devotees need to be sensitive not to insist on literal interpretation of cold print.

Savitri Era Religion owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is also an excellent alternative. Savitri stands for aspiration for Immortality as enshrined in the Veda & The Life Divine sets forth an evolutionary path for mankind through descent of Supramental consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo had welcomed the Cripps Proposal and had urged the Congress leaders for its acceptance. There is a belief that the partition could have been averted had his advice not rejected.

Read an article by @Hashestweets in @htTweets that he and @amitvarma blog at middlestage.blogspot.com. It was 2005, and that's the first time I learnt about a blog. Then, I launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as focus selforum.blogspot.com

An Odia short story titled, 'Type Four' by Ananta Prasad Panda is famous for this theme. [the turmoil of a lady who was respected in a locality in Cuttack... move to a govt quarter in Bhubaneswar and their... The lady feels that her existence has no meaning.]

Magunira Sagada tells of an allied sad theme.

[Maguni is a bullock cart driver, who has won the hearts of the people. One day the news spread that people would no longer ride in Maguni's cart, because the Singh family plans to ply a motor-bus in the town.]

Awareness of Odia music is very limited even in West Bengal although Bengali singers used to dominate during the golden age of the 1960s. Nirmala Mishra was the most popular singer who shot to fame with Aaji akashe ki ranga lagila ଆଜି ଆକାଶେ କି ରଙ୍ଗ ଲାଗିଲା। m.youtube.com/watch?v=j27mMu…

Sandhya Mukherjee has sung over a dozen songs in Odia films during the 1960s among which Phula rasia re ଫୁଲ ରସିଆ ରେ is the most appreciated. Au chanda lagi ଆଉ ଚାନ୍ଦ ଲାଗି is also popular. However, the music of her first film was directed by Nachiketa Ghosh. youtu.be/5Xr4NrikiaM?si…

Aarti Mukherjee's first song in Odia, Dele dhara katha ଦେଲେ ଧରା କଥା was a romantic duet which is still popular. But the next, Udasi akhi chahin rahe ଉଦାସୀ ଆଖି ଚାହିଁ ରହେ is famous for its haunting melancholic mood. Ei Jhuma jhuma ଏଇ ଝୁମା ଝୁମା is also great. youtu.be/AsVclyWThxs?si…

Sipra Bose is ranked almost equal to Nirmala Mishra and has the most evocative song in Odia, Janena janena ଜାଣେନା ଜାଣେନା to her credit. Besides, she has lent her voice to several duets with folk theme. This is in contrast to her image as a classical singer. youtu.be/cJ39oQYLYic?si…
