Savitri Era: What looks bogus today becomes a reality tomorrow savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/01/what-l…

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

#TusarNathMohapatra

Congress and the Left historians treat the first decade of the last century as dark age. All efforts were done to banish Sri Aurobindo from the history books. But it's astonishing that even after the advent of AI, people are expressing surprise on learning about Uttarpara speech!

I link it to Sri Aurobindo's dream of #WorldUnion.

My Odia handle is separate.

The 20th century has all the ingredients for endless study of human excellence as well as perversion. Computers were rudimentary when man walked on the moon. This century has been taken over by AI. But it can't solve the meaning of life. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remain relevant

BJP hasn't been able to appropriate Sri Aurobindo fully till now, but as West Bengal Assembly elections are drawing near, it is eager to harness his Uttarpara speech to the hilt. But Savitri Era Party feels that it won't be successful since evolutionary trajectory aims elsewhere!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise on collective and cosmic transformation unlike the traditional and Buddhist stress on self-realisation or liberation. In this sense, politics is a vehicle for dissemination of their ideals and enthusing people about evolutionary inevitability.

It's superficially believed that Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion but it's very much inbuilt in his Integral yoga as he talks about the indispensability of Divine grace in the first sentence of The Mother book. Surrender to The Mother under Savitri Era Religion is key.

People are avidly debating over some two lines someone has said in a recent debate in Kolkata about one line of one of Sri Aurobindo's speeches. But no one is interested in the 36 volumes of The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA) available free online. incarnateword.in/cwsa

I remember having made a lengthy intervention about Sri Aurobindo during the Q&A session after Roy Bhaskar's speech in a college in Delhi. He seemed to be appreciative in his response. Thereafter I had noticed a quotation from The Mother in his next book. May be two decades back!

There are several options:

Religion, theology, mythology

Astrology, theosophy, mysticism

Philosophy, theory, analysis

Science, observation, computing.

But the truth is elsewhere

Neatly elaborated by

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri and The Life Divine

Are epitome of knowledge.

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with any other religion or philosophy. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is its basic principle. It's free from mythology and rituals. It doesn't rely on any institution or intermediary. All are free to feel as a part of it voluntarily.

Modi's lasting contribution can be compared to what Sokal did to the academic world. It's not his fault if people chose to believe him for so long.

Savitri Era Religion involving surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most convenient way for bypassing the dominance of Hindutva. It also fosters a modern and rational atmosphere by shedding mythology and rituals. Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, Congress, and Left

Savitri Era Religion facilitates establishing a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without the intervention of any individual or institution. It is also free from mythology and rituals so that the new generation is not burdened with avoidable history or nostalgia

A chapter on Sri Aurobindo

AI is very much a part of the future evolution envisioned by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But associating it with the higher levels of consciousness may not be correct. When even mitochondria are yet to be understood adequately as sensing and communicative entities, we must wait!

Some are highlighting 1909 as a defining moment but a much more transforming hour came when The Mother came to meet Sri Aurobindo in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. Arya rolled out on August 15, 1914 heralding the promise of a Life Divine and Spiritual Age.

Savitri Era Party is happy that it's neither RW nor LW. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is an independent narrative and ideology in itself. Human uniqueness, autonomy, and freedom are the basic criteria.

[Who will come with me? Who will climb with me? incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/invitat…

I shudder at the mention of the word theorem, calculus, or algorithm! Hence calling them simple or beautiful is further intimidating. I would rather recall two lines from a poem by Sri Aurobindo:

Always our Captain holds the rudder well,

He does not sleep. incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/to-r

One of my favourite lines in Savitri is

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose, incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-ki…

Similar elsewhere

The tulip and rose are fierier and brighter, incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/the-spr…

Orchid, tulip and narcissus, rose and nenuphar and lotus, incarnateword.in/cwsa/02/in-the…

For Savitri Era Religion, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Therefore, Savitri Era Party requests not to compare them with other famous persons or gurus except academically.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I have been reading their writings since 1964. I have also acquired preliminary acquaintance with Western philosophy, for comparative analysis. As President of Savitri Era Party, I stress on the political relevance of their predictions.

Sri Aurobindo pointed out that Shankara tried to interpret Isha Upanishad according to his own predetermined philosophy. Present readers of Sri Aurobindo shouldn't commit the same mistake of understanding him according to their set ideologies. Devotion and open mind is essential.

We live in an interpreted world; narrative wars are in full swing. Modern knowledge is bewitching and bewildering, often blinding. Savitri Era lens clings to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for light. It's a multi-pronged endeavour: history, politics, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings may be rational and universal but each one would use it according to his or her personal situation and requirement. Further intellectual background matters a lot in understanding their intention. Devotional attitude too differs a great deal.

Sisir Kumar Maitra has noted that had he read The Life Divine in the Arya itself instead of when it came out as a book he would have been spared of the intellectual struggle he actually went through. Right reading material is important and Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) leads.

People derive a sense of stability from traditions and feel contented by perennial philosophy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo however rake up the ongoing evolution which will force change. SELF (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) prepare the field for it.

Hindi films were a major vehicle for popularising certain icons, but Sri Aurobindo was excluded. However, his vision of change and coming of a new age was a theme in many flms albeit with Marxist overtones. The underlying spiritual or mystic aspect was never explained explicitly.

The Life Divine has a long history as it originally began as a commentary on Isha Upanishad in 1902. Ten such drafts were written by Sri Aurobindo and in 1905, It was conceived as a series of course material for the students of the proposed Bhawani Mandir.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is Savitri Era Religion. It gives freedom from mythology and rituals. No burden of any intermediary institution or individual. No necessity of discussing their life history or philosophy. Surrender to them is vital.

Psychological and behavioural patterns propelling diverse economic or commercial activities form a part of academics now. But do they account for varied layers of consciousness The Mother & Sri Aurobindo point to? In a way yes. Because without their sanction nothing would happen.

Can I suspect that Ashoka was also like Saneev Sanyal in the inscriptions attributed to him?

Savitri Era Party professes an alternative ideology and narrative based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's future vision of which Colonialism is an integral part. Humanity is moving towards a #WorldUnion, as heralded by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto, on August 14, 1947.

Interesting to hear from Alok Pandey that even in spiritual organisations like the Ashram or Auroville, one may not get any promotion or pay-raise, but still there is the scope of being part of the management and moving up in the power corridor which is no different from outside.

Despite free availability of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books, educated people are reluctant to read them. Many intelligent persons complain of not understanding them. In such a situation, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the best option.

Thanks for your response. I will happy if you say that you are a part of Savitri Era Religion.

Arya, jointly edited by Sri Aurobindo and Paul Richard, The Mother's husband, came out on August 15, 1914. Sri Aurobindo started writing four new books in it: The Life Divine, The Secret of the Veda & Selected Hymns, Isha Upanishad, The Synthesis of Yoga. incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

A list of sea beaches I have visited. Now, of course, the view of Hooghly from my fifth floor flat does the job. Though it's only a distributary, people lovingly call it Ganga and the water from the Himalayas flow through it. I have gone upto Srinagar, UK.

By following 800 handles I get to know diverse things which was impossible till recently. It also gives a sense of confidence that the world is safe with so many watchdogs and whistleblowers around. Yet I'm the only handle of my kind. Savitri Era means The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

I studied Science in the college, worked for a Commercial Bank for a living; and have been trying to understand Humanities after resigning from my job. All these fields are important. Integral education of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aspires to further enrich the formal education.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk about the ultimate governance of the Universe which is no different from the politics of the country or our domestic affairs. This can even be extended to the chaotic environment obtaining within the cells. What explains all these is consciousness.

MP Sinha, our Botany lecturer was once talking to us on politics in a rebellious tone. The next class was by Prof Ramji. Everyone is a communist in his young age but supports Congress later in life, he commented. That's the secret of Middle path. It's neither extremism nor dogma!

Vajpayee ensured that Advani doesn't become the Prime Minister. Similarly Modi is ensuring that no one from their party reaches the top post. He might resign after completion of twelve years which will throw the party into chaos. And the Janata Party smithereens tale will repeat.

Devotees of Savitri Era Religion negotiate a very clumsy and embarrassing situation in the absence of any legal or official recognition for their religion. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may be just historical figures for others, but they are the one Supreme Divine for the devotees.

Temples and Ashrams providing free or subsidised food along with the joy of collective eating is a big factor in domestic tourism. Periodical religious festivals and fairs also drive substantial participation by all sections of people. Savitri Era Religion ekes a different model.

Very intelligent and articulate know-alls crowd this space and some are really very peeved about why Sri Aurobindo is being mentioned on different occasions. They are so well-read that they can't accept something exists beyond their knowledge. They try to prove that he is nobody!

Vivekananda thought that pushing Ramakrishna would solve all problems. It didn't. Nehru thought pushing Gandhi is the best solution. He was proved wrong. Similarly, Marx, Lohia, Periyar, Ambedkar, and Savarkar were promoted, but in vain. Thus, Sri Aurobindo remains the only hope.

Discussion on puja is going on which is an unrecognisable creature in Bengal. It has so many forms and effects that confining it to any particular notion is absurd. The basic ritual of puja itself is a collage supposed to be a rebellion against the formless. But it's all useless.
