After observing myself and others associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings for forty years, I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. Disenchantment with Hindutva too was a big factor for opting for an independent shelter. This is the most modern and rational religion.
Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them has evolutionary ramifications. Surrender basically means abandoning mental boundary, so that higher levels of consciousness take charge. Savitri Era Religion is the only avenue for this trick.
After their first meeting on March 29, 1914, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started publishing The Life Divine on August 15, 1914. Savitri Era Religion (2006) is driven by the logic of this epochal book. This is an intellectual field. Those who haven't read this book are illiterates!
While The Life Divine laid out the blueprint of a future world The Secret of the Veda unveiled the palette of principles for its execution. However The Mother book blended them together which forms the fuel of Savitri Era Religion. Victory of this evolutionary march is inevitable.
This month keeps on reminding about how The Mother travelled from France and reached the nondescript town of Puducherry to meet Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914. Historians are yet to gauge the profound significance of this epochal moment that sowed the seeds of East-West harmony.
Integral yoga was enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo which is followed by thousands of people across the world. On the other hand, Savitri Era Religion was founded by me in 2006 which worships them as the one Supreme Divine, without any theoretical or practice-wise binding.
Crafting a tweet takes a lot of effort and imagination. Squeezing it within the specified character limit is another exercise in gymnastics. It is addressed to varieties of readers with the potential of stimulating their thinking. Yet some are in the habit of urinating like dogs.
Whether Hinduism and Hindutva are the same? Whether RSS is a Hindu organisation? Which Shankaracharya is more authentic than others? Whether Brahmins should agitate against UGC rules? Instead of daily bothering about such questions, I'm happy to be in Savitri Era Religion (2006).
Savitri Era Religion (2006) is an attempt to build a globally recognisable platform so that the children of present devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't drift away. It's free from any institutional bondage or stipulation of rituals. All are invited to join in voluntarily.
Apart from general discussion & matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo this handle caters to three specific arms:
Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005) selforum.blogspot.com
Savitri Era Religion (2006) serfrat.blogspot.com
Savitri Era Party (2007) savitrieraparty.blogspot.com
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have brought new knowledge and new light. To be guided by it is the responsibility of the whole humanity. Indians have a special task on this score. As followers of other gurus are dwindling, Savitri Era Religion is emerging as the most modern religion.
I acquired information on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in bits and pieces from books, magazines, and newspaper articles which were not easily available. Keeping notes and thematically matching them in separate registers. The thrill of finding an apposite quotation was exhilarating!
Most schools had closed the Humanities stream. I found one for my daughter in 1998 after a lot of effort. Everyone discouraged as to why I am imposing my whim on a good student. This bias continues but most here pose to be experts on Humanities without studying it in the college.
Babaji Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti started publishing a quarterly magazine titled Navajyoti ନବଜ୍ୟୋତି from Puducherry through which I had come to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They also built a network of Study Circles called Pathachakra ପାଠଚକ୍ର which has grown enormously now.
After shifting to Delhi in 1988, I got the wonderful opportunity of reading books and magazines at library of Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch. I was also stealthy reading portions of new books which I couldn't afford, at the Sabda sales centre. Society Centre was also useful.
Got to know a few renowned persons who were residents of Shipra Riviera in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. Apart from Prof. S.K. Chaube, Prof. Manindra Nath Thakur, and Sanjeev Verma, Artist, @sanjay_election and @mukeshbudharwi are eminent public intellectuals. @shantprakash also lives nearby.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram-Delhi Branch has two other Centres in Uttarakhand which I have visited. Van Niwas is located on Kilbury Road in Ayarpatta, Nainital while Madhuban is in Talla Ramgarh. Sri Aurobindo Institute of Indian Culture in Shillong, Meghalaya has similar scenic beauty.
Intellectual growth leads to clinging to primacy of Theory. Otherwise, it's just irrational believing in something out of extraneous considerations. Leftists advocate Theory but operate in a partial territory. Consequences accordingly are commensurate. Sri Aurobindo mends defect.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide excellent guidance for self-management and intellectual enrichment. Most are ignorant about them, and hence are missing a great opportunity of benefitting from their path. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to bridge this gap.
Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947, forms the bedrock of its future vision. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity and harmony. All are invited.
