Rituals are part of religion
Backed by mythological fiction
Involve a lot of aesthetics
Plus social support and self-esteem
But they are never voluntary
Are performed under compulsion
What man needs is freedom
Of which he is unaware
Something absolutely new
To take him to himself

Ideologies are umpteen
How to have one for own use
Just what comes by the way
Or through some rational choice
What is rational then
With our limited awareness
Ecosystems and echochambers
Make us a hostage
Man must crave freedom
From falsehood and ignorance
Seek light
Deep inside

Sun sets in the West is science
Sun doesn't set at all is science too
Climbing a hill widens the horizon
But there's a limit
What we know come from many sources
It's also pouring in every moment
Since the evolution is on
And we're its instruments
So let's be aware
Of its footfall

I wrote on a slate as a child
Now I type on a tablet
Undergirded by undersea cables
Once adumbrated by Whitman
Locke's tabula rasa to Emerson's Oversoul
Nietzsche's Overman to Shaw's Superman
Man's mind is captive of AI
But its brain can rot too
Numbers may dream
Causing migraine

All religions are belief
In some ancient mythology
In idols made of stone or metal
And year-round festivals
Personal welfare and security
Drives devotion and loyalty
They can't be questioned
For they are the God's word
All men are mortal, To err is human
Religion cures confusion

Saying We means
Taking a lot of responsibility
Upon oneself
Generalising too much
And misrepresenting
Bordering on falsehood.
Saying I too
Isn't free from hazards
For the private zone
Is cut off from public sphere
Further the inner self
Keeps on reminding
About false subjectivity

What is spirituality
Is it something different from ordinary life
And being lost in meditation for hours together
No, that's an imaginary state of affairs
Sri Aurobindo advises surrender to The Mother
The Mother too tells Remember and Offer
All within daily life in all activities

Asrani passed away
Leaving behind a formidable legacy
Of lighting up the screen with laughter
Whenever he appears in whatever role.
When there was no TV or Internet
Bollywood used to rule our hearts
He scored centuries through 70s and 80s
And continued to act till two years back.

How Much Land Does a Man Need? (1886) by Leo Tolstoy remains eternally relevant. Every morning, every day, every moment, this question must occupy the mind. I had left my Bank job in 2000. But there are a hundred other attractions also. Ultimately, the trade off is for more gain!
I, first, read about Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach from Nolini. Curiously, he renames the protagonist.
[let us give him a name "Shobhanaka", à la manière de Panchatantra e.g. Damanaka, Karataka, Bhasunaka etc. for he was very fine to look at] incarnateword.in/other-authors/…
I,first, read about Thoreau's Walden and Melville's Moby Dick from, The Adventure of Criticism (1962) by K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar. It's an outstanding book. Amal Kiran (K.D. Sethna) also has a title called, Adventures in Criticism.

I, first, read about Nikos Kazantzakis from A Study of Savitri by Prema Nandakumar apropos his epic, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel. Later on, of course, I read his Zorba the Greek. It won't be irrelevant to mention Cornelius Castoriadis a couple of whose books I have gone through.
I might have heard of him earlier but had completely forgotten. I was stirred out of my peace yesterday when I read about Max Stirner who is known to have influenced many including Marx and Nietzsche. A significant but controversial figure who was suppressed by his contemporaries
BlueSky is an intellectual hub. Someone responded with the following link. A very informative article lsr-projekt.de/poly/ennietzsc…
[Sri Aurobindo and Max Stirner represent diametrically opposed philosophies concerning the individual, society, and the ultimate purpose of life.] GoogleAI
[Max Stirner? ... to whom Karl Marx had given the brush-off? The anarchist, egoist, nihilist, the crude precursor of Nietzsche? Yes, he. Having a very bad reputation in the world of philosophy, ... but even now he possesses that intellectual dynamite ...]

The Bible and the Making of Modern India By VISHAL MANGALWADI is an important document to understand our present circumstances. This also provides the background to situate the epochal contributions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in appropriate perspective.

I have been writing about me all these years since nobody else would do it. So, I must thank GoogleAI for taking the trouble of assessing my performance and summarising it in an admirable manner. @Wikipedia
Hope you are aware of the controversy over various Savitri editions. Introductions by A.B. Purani and Prema Nandakumar are helpful. Quotations can be misleading as different characters are there. My suggestion is to begin from Part Two, Book Four, Canto I.

Yes, with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 to be read before 2.8.3.

Have you read any of Sri Aurobindo's books?

Are you aware of my handle? Hope you discover some genuineness here.

Are you aware of this song? I'm not getting it.

Rani Rashmoni built the Dakshineswar Kali temple for all castes and religions. This must be a very revolutionary act for her time. This is before Ramakrishna or Vivekananda come to the picture. She may be possible inspiration for Vivekananda's social work.

Most of pujo is over. J pujo in Chandannagar is imminent. For me listening varieties of music over DJ is the most attractive part. Although different kinds of North Indian songs are played, Odia is perhaps treated as South Indian and hence no entry. Let's hope Mahua factor helps!
While doing work or taking food, concerns over body or age-related issues come to the fore. Even while listening to music also that wistful feeling for the past precipitates. But during the time my mind is engaged in reading or writing, it's a seamless, neutral, ever-young space!
