The Life Divine is the highest political goal

This platform is the greatest gift of human civilisation and technology which enables free democratic expression of opinion. And yet there's something sinister about it as my posts have negligible reach and zero response. I don't mind people avoiding me but whether X itself does?

Sri Aurobindo's principal works were published by 1920 but The Mother's return earlier the same year became a turning point for his philosophy and yoga leading to the establishment of the Ashram in 1926. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is pivotal.

Sri Aurobindo, the revolutionary Freedom fighter; Sri Aurobindo, the political Theorist and leader; Sri Aurobindo, the Philosopher and critic; Sri Aurobindo, the Poet and playwright; or Sri Aurobindo, the Spiritual guru are all very good. But, as Supreme Divine is most important.

Koenraad Elst's antipathy for Sri Aurobindo is well known but now he has started telling purely imaginary tales about him. A scholar of repute he doesn't feel it necessary disclose his secret sources. What he spouts has to be true since he is the authority. And Indians rever him!

Prospect of a #WorldUnion appears prominently in Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947. Things look dismal at present. Yet Savitri Era Party rededicates itself for fruition of this inevitable evolutionary leap on the World Union day (August 20) today.

People are busy in peddling problems. Political parties as well as publishing houses are thriving by analysing them. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, is confident of a sublime destiny for the humanity. All may join in this great task.

As devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, there must be a constant awareness that it's a new and revolutionary path which has aptly been described as an adventure of consciousness. Simultaneously, one needs to remember the basic fact that nothing can move an inch without Grace.

Spirituality used to be identified with some amount of austerity but no longer. Apart from impressive dress to be armed with a laptop has also become mandatory. It's not merely an inner process but like justice should be seen to be done. Talking about visions or experiences must!

Savitri Era Religion took birth in 2006 specifically for the purpose that the Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are beyond intellectual scrutiny. Further by severing all connections with past religions it starts with a clean slate. Reading Savitri amounts to yoga. 

Savitri basically is a long poem proclaiming the Vedic ideal of conquering death. But many scholars have noticed both The Mother and Sri Aurobindo's spiritual biographies forming significant part of the poem. Besides, it contains long dialogues on various philosophical arguments.

The Mother interestingly was in contact with Max Théon before meeting Sri Aurobindo. He was the head of Cosmic Movement which also aimed at a luminous body. Lurianic Kabbalah too has an identical vision of a new race. However Savitri Era Religion is independent of all influences.

Auroville is facing serious threats by its present mandarins as Hindutva lobby is hell bent on destroying its uniqueness. Savitri Era Party demands returning Matrimandir and Auroville to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to stop such evil designs.

Human life is governed by physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, literature, and other spheres. Yoga seeks to apply the power of higher consciousness for transformation so that human limits can be surpassed. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is key.

Certain forms of yoga can be practiced with own effort, but Integral yoga is dependent on surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and believing in the metaphysical formulation that they are always present in their three poises is vital.

Integral yoga is nothing but collaboration with evolution and, hence, expecting any time-bound result is mistaken. Transformation of own nature can be perceived over a period of time but complete victory over undesirable elements can't be achieved without the grace of The Mother.

Makarand Paranjape observed in The Penguin Sri Aurobindo Reader (1999) that Sri Aurobindo himself deified the Mother and vice versa. Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy opined in the Auroville case (1982) that the devotees are responsible for creating new religions and not their founders.

It's tempting to invoke Sri Aurobindo while discussing AI but they are chalk and cheese. I have been cautioning against utilitarian interpretation of his philosophy and yoga or for that matter education. Transformation isn't reform or development. Avoiding trivialisation is vital. 

Prevailing political and intellectual atmosphere doesn't inspire people to read The Mother and Sri Aurobindo's books. New Gurus too try to bind their followers by conventional thinking. Savitri Era Religion takes the convenient route of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

Michael Murphy had spent some time in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry after which he established Esalen along with Dick Price in 1962 for conducting group activities. He has also written many books which exemplify why expecting practical results from meditation or yoga is flawed. 

Many scholars eagerly highlight whenever any equivalence surfaces between Sri Aurobindo and Western thinkers like Rudolf Steiner, Carl Jung, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, or Jean Gebser. This is a wrong approach. The yogic vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is beyond speculation.

The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo is the highest political goal and Savitri is the same in the spiritual direction. Since the ontology of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo entails seamless divinity of the whole creation, any form of voluntary collaboration towards this end turns into yoga. 

The Veda, as unveiled by Sri Aurobindo, represents an adventure of consciousness and therefore the whole philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is nothing but giving the ancient Vedic vision a material shape. Savitri too aims at Immortality, the highest target for man.

Yoga has become a very common word but in our parlance, it's Integral yoga. Love and devotion for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the essential condition. Remember & Offer is understood as remembering The Mother before commencing any work and offering the same to her when finished.
