You are a well read person and I respect your views. In any case, you are only supporting or justifying a fait accompli out of political love. Hope, you reconsider on this a decade hence. I however stand by my verdict and feel proud that no one has objected except @krishnarjun108
The PM is wrong
Savitri Era: I won't allow anyone to wash my feet https://t.co/BeOE0J36sm Posted by Tusar Nath Mohapatra @NathTusar Director, SELF, SRA-102-C #ShipraRiviera #Indirapuram #Ghaziabad #UttarPradesh 201014

Om #SriAurobindo & #TheMother
Please don't generalise in that manner. Ashram and Auroville are different and the latter is a tiny enclave struggling for its existence. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are spread across the country. In Odisha alone, there are thousands of Centres and six hundred Schools.
What you are alluding to is not without a grain of truth but it's a complex subject with a large number of persons and institutions as stake holders. Not easy to appropriate or hijack what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have created so assiduously; no one can claim he/she understands
Promoting honest, astute, and dispassionate scholarship is the need of the hour to rectify distortion of history and the overall narrative accumulated so far. Courage needed to face Sri Aurobindo's work which is subversive of the tradition and religion. https://t.co/267RIdYTnj
Second term for Modi agenda should be separated from Hindutva. Similarly, CHARTER OF HINDU DEMANDS (HCD) should be separated from Hindutva. Hindutva itself should be separated from Hinduism. Hinduism in turn has to be separated from Sri Aurobindo's vision. https://t.co/zY0LyxDF0v
Democracy entails separation of powers and functions like between civilians and services. People join armed forces not out of patriotism or nationalism but as another job. Thus, trying to whip up sentiments over routine Defence operations and other security matters is anomalous.
One meets so many ek se badhkar ek experts on all topics from war to wc on Twitter that it's intimidating sometimes with a perpetual feeling of inadequacy. Invoking Sri Aurobindo however compensates to some extent [hound of heaven or Dakshina whose function is to discern rightly] https://t.co/9viBDQkDC5
Sri Aurobindo started writing in public just a few months after his return to India in 1893. Vivekananda is generally considered senior to him but in terms of scholarly output, Sri Aurobindo comes first. This may not be known to many people. (Request to readers to verify/confirm)
Finally, Sri Aurobindo's epochal pioneering role gets due acknowledgement. Thanks. Remembering another brave revolutionary https://t.co/laKBUiPHcq
Granting Sovereignty to the States to manage their own affairs, including Foreign affairs, is the most appropriate solution to all problems the country is facing today. People must prepare for this futuristic measure by abdicating the grand narrative of an unusually large nation.
Further, the word Bihar - and not Vihar - is a vivid evidence of how the local language is more inclined towards Bengali and Odia (of the erstwhile Bengal Presidency). The older languages must get due honour without of course Hindi being denigrated, which is used all over India.
Rather than analysing the past, looking at the future is more crucial in which Sri Aurobindo holds a prominent place. It's important therefore to check one's own dear ideological formulation with his vision and dreams and reconfigure them from time to time. #Auroville anniversary
The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo had its completion last month in 1919 and nothing more profound or epochal has been published during the last one hundred years. Educated Indians must realise its significance as the most potent soft power and spread awareness of it in all spheres
When Sri Aurobindo, Tilak, and others were fighting against British rule, it wasn't against Christianity or conversion but Savarkar and Golwalkar were able to create a mass antipathy against Islam. So much so that the Mandir issue is less for a home for Ram than hounding Muslims.
There's no threat to anyone living in a free country like India but whenever Hindu unity or pride is invoked it's invariably directed against Islam if not Muslims apart from mobilising votes or funds. The States of Pakistan as well as India being granted Sovereignty is the answer
So, you are seeing some virtue in secularism? And what's the roadmap? Islam will pervade Europe before being annihilated? Seems interesting. And, the riddle of "a child shall destroy her" remains! @singh_shreepal #SriAurobindo
I have always been against literal use of the words of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and avoid quoting them. Actuality is just a solitary moment out of thousands of possibilities and hence demanding a certain course of events is uncalled for. They hold the rudder well & don't sleep. https://t.co/3cSNyfs0DX
People are more interested in the theatre of war, so his poetry may be useless for public taste, but dismissing Sri Aurobindo as a philosopher is not the right thing in the present circumstances. His forays into probing consciousness is exactly what science is seeking to unravel.
When I talked about politics over a decade back many were flabbergasted and some used to rebuke me as to how could I "use" Sri Aurobindo for such a lowly purpose. Now, of course, it has become mainstream but my focus on "using" Sri Aurobindo for fighting Hindutva remains untapped
Dynasty and personality based politics is the dominant formula now but the demands of Democracy is to graduate to an ideology based environment. Diverse recipes have been experimented the world over during the last century but Sri Aurobindo's prediction of a #WorldUnion may gel.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were present during both the World Wars and harboured unadulterated optimism against overwhelming adversity and pervading gloom. The secret is to believe in a Harmony waiting to be discovered and collaborating with it with full confidence in its victory.
The #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947 is not merely a political Manifesto but almost a religious one since The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are believed to be in charge of the success of such an Evolutionary agenda. So, believing in their living presence is Savitri Era Religion.
