Savitri Era Religion
Worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
As the one Supreme Divine
Who are always present in their three poises.
No castes or customs
No mythology or rituals
No initiation ceremony
Or any intermediary.
Anyone can join voluntarily,
To launch a journey evolutionary.

People keep on comparing and conflating Sri Aurobindo with others. It's a misleading job. Sri Aurobindo himself has a dozen facets. Understanding his each aspect and harmonising them with present reality is itself a challenging task. But most just mention him to signal erudition!
I have been writing on Sri Aurobindo here but the Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague. For them the right knowledge or the right direction is not important but mythology is. Even now, when the caste is such a big issue, who else than Sri Aurobindo can come to their rescue?
The Constitution of India mandates a nation where all are equal. No doubt, many such ideals are drawn from the Bible or Western philosophers. But a more fundamental philosophical underpinning is provided by Sri Aurobindo. Engaging with him is necessary for right ideological clue.
Apart from The Mother book, several major works of Sri Aurobindo become relevant on the question of caste. They are Essays on the Gita, The Secret of the Veda, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine, and The Human Cycle. All devotees and followers must prepare for future debates.
Savitri Era Religion will cover the whole world, so that the fight among old religions vanishes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for world peace and human unity. This is also evolutionarily ordained for achieving Vedic Immortality.
She has absolutely no relevance for others, nobody knows her; but for us she is everything, the golden bridge. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.
By forming Savitri Era Religion in 2006 I affirmed that we have no connection with old religions. Our love, devotion, and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only thing that counts. By starting Savitri Era Party in 2007 similarly I declared, we are against all parties.
We can be the ruling party. Just one person is needed to contest in each constituency. Thereafter, it's the choice of the people.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion or political party. I created the Savitri Era banner after I got access to instant web publishing in 2005. I have been doing many ideological fine tuning over the years. Devotees and followers are requested to examine them.
Those who haven't read The Life Divine can't understand why I'm so optimistic about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party. The changes The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have foreseen won't happen overnight. Commensurate infrastructure has to be built for ushering in an ideal society.
Savitri Era narrative has been successful to rescue the discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from the narrow confines of the Ashram or Auroville. The relevance of the #FiveDreams Manifesto is worldwide and hence a paradigm shift as regards practice of Integral yoga is overdue.
Savitri Era Party has been demanding returning Auroville to the devotees and withdrawing non-devotees from its administration. There should be a semblance of democracy in its functioning and it shouldn't be run like a govt development project. Reconising Savitri Era Religion too.
The Life Divine doesn't talk about any particular nation or religion. It doesn't talk about airports either. Yet it remains the most coherent explanation of why we are here and where we go from here. Without reading it, it is impossible to imagine its immensity and inevitability.
Savitri Era Party (2007), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, has been demanding abolition of reservations and all provisions in the Constitution relating to castes and religions. Social justice can't be achieved by prolonging discrimination perpetually. #FiveDreams
As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005, I have been highlighting that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy doesn't mean mere silent meditation but acquiring wide knowledge and political sensibilities for facing the fast-changing challenges of the modern world.
I'm appalled at the fact that people who are fairly conversant with Sri Aurobindo's The Human Cycle hold sympathies for almost an opposite kind of politics in India. Savitri Era Party, however, has an uncompromising stand apropos the past and promises to espouse enlightening way.
After listing Nineteen sets of irreconcilable contradictions, Goblipura Subbaramiah has recommended that every Indian child should learn Ramayana and Mahabharata. There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Ergo, Savitri Era Religion owes allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Deeply aware of the bankruptcy of Hindutva as an ideology, Modi has been building his personal charisma in the model of mythological Monarchy. Though a successful formula, it is subversive of democracy. Savitri Era Party aspires for a political atmosphere, devoid of manipulation.
Sandeep Balakrishna has lamented in a post that people are not reading the history of Indian culture from primary sources in Indian languages. Now, this is a back-breaking task for the new generation! But he has not disclosed what scholars like him have established, conclusively.
