President, Savitri Era Party (2007) & Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006)
Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Dowry demanded during my childhood was ଘଣ୍ଟା, ସାଇକେଲ, ଓ ରେଡ଼ିଓ watch, bicycle, and radio. That was the level of technology sixty years back. So much have changed including WhatsApp University, Godi media, and Lifestyle vlogs. Human emotions and expectations have not changed a bit.
Both Vajpayee and Modi have strayed from the Hindutva due to Kulkarni Doctrine. India is growing organically and no one person or ideology can take the sole credit. Neither meditation nor spirituality can solve the problems faced by the common people. shedding hypocrisy is needed.
No amount of success or ecosystem can be of help if one is following a wrong ideology. We have the example of Leftists and Congress supporters. The same is happening to Hindutva brigade, today. Savitri Era Party has responsibility for politics based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Uttarpara speech of 1909 is well-known. But mature writings of Sri Aurobindo began in 1914 after his meeting with The Mother in Puducherry. His #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947, towards the end of his life, marks a significant summary of his whole philosophy and mission.
Direct disciples have tried their best to analyse and popularise the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But they did not anticipate the Hindutva challenge and narrative war. I have been writing against it since I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005.
Power attracts and many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo became easy preys of the grandiose vision of Hindutva. Those connected with institutions turned allies of the ruling party. Savitri Era Party (2007), however, has been opposing the anti-evolutionary instincts of BJP.
Watched the latest DR video and his presentation of facts is brilliant. Prannoy Roy had started such sophisticated news telecast in India but unfortunately the situation today is abysmal. DR also reminds of Kejriwal. Video ending was invocatory but he needs to read Sri Aurobindo.
So many handles talk about Hindus specifically and not Indians. That means they exclude a certain section of people which is well-known. But the Hindus they pose to represent are divided into different factions. Some factions don't consider these handles as their representatives.
Savitri Era Party demands that the maximum two terms principle should be applied even if the ruling party returns to power, tomorrow. Charisma, sycophancy, personality cult, or such other symptoms of herd mentality should be eschewed in the interest of a healthy democracy. Thanks.
Defeat of leadership and defeat of ideology likely. A great day for Indian democracy since protest has been duly registered.
Modi ruled two terms since Mayawati was responsible for division of votes in UP. It's because of her sacrifice this time that Akhilesh has done well. She deserves all credit.
Obsession with Modi has corrupted the minds of his supporters. They are not discussing ideology, targets, or issues. They are not bothered about the party or democracy. Any sane person would demand change of leadership and course correction but sadly the supporters have coarsened.
Mandate is absolutely clear. Modi got ten years to perform, and people want a new face. It's the responsibility of every party to make this happen. Further, the politics of religion has run its course. Bread and butter issues are more dominant now. No party can afford to be deaf.
By the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, election results have electrified the democratic spirit in India. The fear of the country hurtling back into the Middle Ages is no longer there. Checks and balances of coalition politics will enforce due transparency and accountability.
Savitri Era Party has been showing the correct ideological path since its inception in 2007. Reading the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo lends clarity to thought but intellectuals in our country unfortunately are enamoured by religious fanaticism and mythological fiction.
From ideological point of view, Savitri Era Party favours universality, i.e., a polity without any discrimination on the basis of castes, religion, language, or gender. But being under the Constitution, respect for diversity, reservations, social jusice, and socialism is a must.
Believing in mythology shouldn't force one into imagining fictional prospects in politics which is a hard nosed affair. Emotional issues have limited appeal and ultimately economic factors determine the course of politics. This election has thrown these contours into sharp relief.
Savitri Era Religion has been promoting an alternative intellectual as well as devotional avenue. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be seen merely as founders of an Ashram. Countless people have been recipients of their divine love and grace. One can follow them without ritual.
Realisation is dawning gradually that Hindutva won't be able to award election wins. People's concerns are more important than spewing hatred and imagining a glorious past. Those enjoying good life by building a career on hatred must know that power in a democracy is not forever.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for human unity and world peace. They posit it as an evolutionary necessity as well as inevitability. Savitri Era Party has been emphasising need for this revolution of consciousness since 2007. Thankfully things have become clear in this election.
It's interesting that when 50 years of JP's call for Sampoorna Kranti was being celebrated yesterday, BJP and JD(U) were joining hands to form a new govt at the Centre. So spirit of 1977 clearly seems to be in operation. Much depends on Modi how he modifies self-destructive model.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provided an elaborate blueprint in 1914 and India needs simply to follow. They have synthesised what's best from the East and the West. They have clearly indicated the road maps for the future for the whole humanity. Online books
That's half baked and misleading. Sri Aurobindo provides the Integral view based on the Vedic evolutionary paradigm. Profoundly radical.
Hindutva intellectuals speak with a sense of superiority which they inherited from the Leftists. But unfortunately without winning elections nothing can be proved conclusively. The nation's conscience was severely injured by the temple movement and now is the time to make amends.
Some handles think every word of their posts is very important. They write four or five lines leaving space in between them just like paragraphs. It's irritating to read them.
The Constitution of India was adopted when The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were present. It was a huge step for the humanity in the evolutionary direction. It encapsulates the wisdom of myriad religions and philosophies. Monarchical functioning of Modi has been defeated in election.
This election has demonstrated how each State behaves differently from the others. Savitri Era Party has been demanding granting Sovereignty to the States so that they grow to their full potential limits. Modi regime should be a stark reminder of why unitary model is destructive.
Clamour for the Ram Temple dovetailing to sycophancy for Modi is the most tragic turn in India's civilisational history. Intellectuals and journalists who facilitated and legitimised this degeneration will be duly judged by the history. Savitri Era Party has shown the right path.
Social, political, and economic unevenness is akin to geographical unevenness. To understand the mystery of this, one has to study The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. So, mere platitudes are not going to alter the situation. Savitri Era Religion is confident about evolution.
A lot many people worked hard for this election result which has restored democracy but Mayawati, unfortunately, is responsible for Modi clinging to power. Anyway, churning in media is also a good sign. But schools should start a new course on civility in social media interaction.
Remembering The Mother or Japa is not merely a devotional technique but a mechanism for invoking evolution. Aspiration for descent of Supramental consciousness and Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Integral yoga. Rejection of adverse instincts is third.
As old religions are being utilised for tourism, entertainment, commerce, and politics, the spirituality of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo comes as a breath of fresh air. Savitri Era Religion with no fixed systems of practice or rituals is the most modern and intellectual alternative.
Hindutva is embroiled in mythology while Savitri Era Religion is based on the Veda. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo integrated the scientific theory of Evolution with the Vedic idea of Immortality which surpasses all previous religions and philosophies. Following them is Integral yoga.
Electoral compulsion has mauled the Hindutva discourse badly and there's no scope now to be camouflaged by some overarching emotions like the temple. Debates over castes, further, is taking an ugly turn every passing day. Contradictions galore and Savitri Era Party is the answer.
Modi devotees masquerading as The Mother's devotees are causing immense harm. Lack of adequate reading and orientation in the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is a double whammy. I have been requesting them to pursue the path they are passionate about and stop adulterating Savitri Era.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave new knowledge in 1914 and in 2014, it was expected that steps will be taken for teaching it on a larger scale. Conversely institutions dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been taken over by Hindutva. Real estate in Ayodhya has been stolen.
Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is necessary for knowledge on philosophy, psychology, education, and political theory. Besides, poetry and literary criticism are also there. But the most important component is yoga or voluntary collaboration with the evolutionary force.
Opposition fell short of numbers but it has won a much greater victory than forming the government. Trouncing the Modi fantasm with divine sanction was needed for rekindling Indian Democracy. Significantly, the opposition is led by the same party which gave rise to Indira Gandhi.
Hindutva supporters love to see the world in black and white terms. Intellectual laziness and easy fanaticism prevents them from studying other ideologies or discovering their merits. The world is complex and the creation is unexplained. So curiosity and inquisitiveness is needed.
Having seen govts. of various hues, I have no happiness nor any particular expectation. How we can adhere to democratic values and constitutional norms is the only concern. Demanding ethics from greedy politicians is nothing but delusion. Still, rule-based functioning can ensure.
Describing something in two sentences never captures the truth in entirety. Role and relevance of Gandhi, Nehru, Congress, or RSS can't be told in a few words nor their influence be wished away. It's necessary to accept historical realities as interply of evolutionary trajectory.
By creating the Savitri Era banner in 2005, I have been publicising the relevance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on several fronts. Maintaining the genuineness of their message is crucial in view of widespread attempts to appropriate them or subordinate them to dominant narratives.
Inflating self-esteem by expressing support for the Prime Minister is an existential need for common people. Pomp and ceremonies are geared to that end. But Monarchical or religious procedures are not apt for a democracy. Austerity or simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle.
Makarand R Paranjape too fits the bill.

Presentation of @DeepakSEditor is praiseworthy. Very precise and gripping.

କାଲି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଜିତିବେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଗତୁରା ଅଭିନନ୍ଦନ। ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରିବା, ଅଣଓଡ଼ିଆ ଓ ଅଧାଓଡ଼ିଆ ମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉପର ସ୍ଥାନ ସବୁ ନଦେଇ, ଖାଣ୍ଟି ଓଡ଼ିଆମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାଥମିକତା ଦେବା। କାହାର ଗୁଣ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କଲାବେଳେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହି କଥାଟିକୁ ମନେରଖିବା। ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଏକତା ଓ ସ୍ବାଭିମାନ ଲାଗି ଅଲଗା ଲଢ଼େଇ ଲଢ଼ିବା ପାଇଁ ପଡ଼ିବ। ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଭାଷାକୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଇବା।
ଜଣେ ଦୁଇଜଣ ବହୁତ ଅଭଦ୍ର ଭାଷା ବ୍ୟବହାର କରି ବଡ଼ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ କରୁଥିଲେ। ଏବେ ତୁଣ୍ଡି ଲାଗିଯିବ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ!
ଓଡ଼ିଶାରେ ଗଣତନ୍ତ୍ର ପୁନଃ ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠିତ ହେବା ଓ କେନ୍ଦ୍ରରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିତନ୍ତ୍ରର ଅବସାନ ଘଟିବା, ଦୁଇଟିଯାକ ମୋ ପାଇଁ ଅତୀବ ଆନନ୍ଦର ବିଷୟ। ଅବଶ୍ୟ ମୋ ସହିତ ସହମତ ହେବାପାଇଁ ଆଉ କେହି ନାହାନ୍ତି। ଶ୍ରୀମା ଶ୍ରୀଅରବିନ୍ଦଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ମୋର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ସଫଳ ହୋଇଛି। ଖାଲି ଜଣେ ଖାଣ୍ଟି ଓଡ଼ିଆଙ୍କୁ ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ପଦରେ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା।
ସବୁବେଳେ ମନେରଖିବେ ଯେ ଆପଣମାନଙ୍କର କାହାରିବି ଆଦର୍ଶଗତ ଚେର ନାହିଁ। ସୌମ୍ୟବାବୁ ପ୍ରଥମେ ଆସି ଟିକେ ଢୋଲ ପିଟାପିଟି କରୁଥିବା କଥା ମନେଅଛି। ଏଥରର ଜିତିବାଟାବି ପାଣ୍ଡିଆନଙ୍କ ଅବଦାନ। ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନିଜ ବଳରେ ନୁହେଁ। ଆନ୍ଧ୍ର, ବିହାର, ବା ପଶ୍ଚିମବଙ୍ଗ ଭଳି ଆଜି ଆମର ନିଜ ମେରୁଦଣ୍ଡ ଆଉ ନାହିଁ। ସ୍ବାଭିମାନ ବନ୍ଧା ପଡ଼ିଲା। ଜିଭ ବଳି ଦିଆହେଲା।
ଜଣେ ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଗଲେ ଓ ଆଉଜଣେ ଆସିବେ। ହୁଏତ କିଛିଟା ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ହେବ ଓ ଓଡ଼ିଶାର ଉନ୍ନତି ଦିଗରେ ବିଭିନ୍ନ ପଦକ୍ଷେପ ନିଆଯିବ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଅଣଓଡ଼ିଆଙ୍କ ପାଦତଳେ ରହି କୋଉ ମହତପଣିଆ ବଢ଼ିଯିବ? ମହତାବ କଙ୍ଗ୍ରେସ ଛାଡ଼ି ଜନକଙ୍ଗ୍ରେସ ଗଢ଼ିବା ଦିନଠାରୁ ଓଡ଼ିଶାର ଏକ ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ସ୍ବାଭିମାନ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ହୋଇଥିଲା। ସ୍ବାଧୀନଚେତା ଲୋକେ ବଜାୟ ରଖନ୍ତୁ।
ସ୍ମୃତି ଇରାନୀଙ୍କୁ ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଘୋଷଣା କରାଗଲେ ଓଡ଼ିଶାବାସୀ ସ୍ବାଗତ କରିବେ ବୋଲି ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ମିଳୁଛି।
ନବୀନ ପଟ୍ଟନାୟକଙ୍କର ଯେତେ ଭଲ ଗୁଣ ଥିଲେ ବି ପ୍ରହାରେଣ ଧନଞ୍ଜୟ ସ୍ତର ଅର୍ଜନ କରିବା ତାଙ୍କର ନିଜ କୃତ। ପାଣ୍ଡିଆନଙ୍କ ଅବଦାନ ଯେତେ ପ୍ରଶଂସନୀୟ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଅଗଣତାନ୍ତ୍ରିକ ଉପାୟରେ ଦଳ ଉପରେ ଆଧିପତ୍ୟ ବିସ୍ତାର କରିବା ଷଡ଼ଯନ୍ତ୍ର ଯୋଗୁ ସେ ଦୋଷୀ। ସେ ଯାହାହେଉ, ଓଡ଼ିଶାରେ ଏକ ନୂତନ ଆଞ୍ଚଳିକ ଦଳର ଆବଶ୍ୟକତା ରହିଛି ବୋଲି ମୁଁ କହିଆସୁଛି।
