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.

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.

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.

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!
