[Yet, for all Sri Aurobindo’s insistence that there was no necessary connection between Hinduism and his yoga, life in his Ashram retained a recognisably Hindu tone. People who came from Hindu backgrounds found no difficulty in carrying over various Hindu habits into their yogic practice. And Sri Aurobindo did not oppose this. Indeed, he seemed sometimes to encourage it. He spoke openly of the important role that Krishna played in his yogic development. He wrote of the Divine Mother using the language of Hindu scriptures, and did not conceal the fact that he considered the Mother of the Ashram to be an incarnation of the Divine Mother. Some of the ceremonial practices that developed in the Ashram, in particular pranam with the Mother, would not have seemed out of place in an ordinary Hindu setting. But Sri Aurobindo did not see such practices in Hindu terms. Sri Aurobindo and Hinduism

[Fundamentalism in Integral Yoga - New Website As the years passed, various forms of outward worship developed in the Ashram, and it became generally understood that an overt devotional attitude differing little from conventional religion was the one right way of approaching Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. For a while, this attitude remained a matter of personal choice; but in recent years it has become more and more obligatory. Anyone who did not follow the dictates of the crowd in what they said and did risked general condemnation.
There is nothing in Sri Aurobindo’s writings to justify such an attitude. He always insisted that yoga had to be based on individual effort, not surrender to the dictates of the crowd... We intend this site to serve as a platform or network for those who are opposed to these attempts to turn the Integral Yoga into a fundamentalist religion. We fear that if this movement is allowed to continue, it might corrupt and delay the fulfilment of Sri Aurobindo’s work. At worst it might — to quote from a letter that Sri Aurobindo wrote in 1934 — reduce his work “to a pompous farce from which the Truth that was coming down recedes into secrecy and silence.” Next]

Integral Yoga is not something monolithic; it has taken, and will take diverse forms and identity. If one faction turns religious, it is its sweet prerogative. A rival faction may stay irreligious. There again, there should be no problem. Each one may be allowed its right of way. Why should anyone complain?

Strangely those who champion "freedom of speech and expression and [are] for religious tolerance, democracy and pluralism" bring up this warped argument. The basic truth is that, no one can prevent "hundreds or thousands of useless people [to] join in." No one has any right or authority to apply filter either.

It is up to the people across continents and cultures to decide how they relate themselves to their chosen divinity. It doesn’t behove of perceptive persons like Hutchinson, Banerji, & Carlson putting forth such perverse logic, and doubly err by running a campaign on that basis. [TNM]
