Poems, books, and songs

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980018847429308764?t=mtfmgQ0pXn1PHTezsg27dA&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980164219673928088?t=aqRSOlNzXpyZKd6EVWSLJw&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980237133467296026?t=MP0BoBbwbMeco8vxNndlmQ&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980281024140738712?t=PJKmRMeY4zXifY_t3-xeGg&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980370571990036844?t=yWwuvnrCdhH7_Bo79DO0FA&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980980021062979822?t=Co0exzVmCt0uKY4slSadBQ&s=19

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

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1980737176381067567?t=7Hyg0lWsv9l9KEeTve3Yjg&s=19

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.

sabda.in/m/catalog/book

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.

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!

Nothing is outside the Market

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The work of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't simply be evaluated from what's apparent for their occult implications are immense. Therefore, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is necessary for deriving maximum advantage from evolutionary advance. It's Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo Studies can be a subject in colleges. But Savitri Era Religion is more interested in understanding the essentials for collaboration with evolution. The first step is worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and not comparing them with others.

The multicultural background of The Mother remains a mystery. Why no one else recognised her except Sri Aurobindo is an enigma. This dollop of mythology is a precious possession of Savitri Era Religion. Her vision of human unity and harmony competes with some top utopian thinkers. 

राजनीति को सत्ता का पर्याय नहीं माना जाना चाहिए। न ही कोई व्यक्ति-पूजा इसे बहुत आगे ले जा सकती है। विचारधारा ही आधार है, और मैं श्रीअरविंद को केंद्रबिंदु मानने पर ज़ोर देता रहा हूँ। शायद अभी समय नहीं आया है!

Politics shouldn't be synonymous with power. Nor any personality cult can carry it very far. Ideology is the fulcrum and I have been harping on accepting Sri Aurobindo as the focal point. May be the time hasn't come! However, Savitri Era Party, started in 2007, is an alternative.

History of BJP shows how Hindutva was able to grow, and the possibility of its decline along with BJP nosediving. Having observed different ideologies dominating at different points during the last Seventy years, I'm confident that the nation will be forced to ping Sri Aurobindo.

Social media creates the illusion of being a great communicator and influencer but not to lose balance is essential. Advocacy is a valid activity but coming to believe one's say as the only truth is problematic. Peer review and critical scrutiny is vital but not many are trained.

Our planet is not symmetrical and human beings don't have uniform physical features. Hence expecting that all countries should be equally developed is absurd. Since evolution is responsible for the present status, demanding a different prospect than its own plan is preposterous.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have probed ontological questions, but it's difficult to find any clear answer to functioning of the world or human behaviour. Savitri Era Party, therefore, doesn't find fault with the past. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine.

My concept of the Market approximates to Sri Aurobindo's Integral Advaita. It can be called Marketime or simply Logistics, considering its dynamic nature. Thus nothing is outside the Market. Further not taking any action also amounts to action as popularised by P.V. Narasimha Rao. 

The secular atmosphere promoted by Congress was a given in the first half of my life. But the second half has seen discordant rumblings of Hindutva. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have a stake in both the scenarios. Extracting that golden mean would mean tons of goodwill and sagacity. 

My formula is not to look at the past for solutions for the future is full of possibilities. Having seen the Fall of the Berlin Wall and Dissolution of USSR, I'm hopeful that events will overtake us. Savitri Era Religion believes that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present. 

Born and brought up in a village, I have lived in semi-urban, urban, and metropolitan areas in four different States. I have lived under all the Prime Ministers of India during the last seventy years. I am conversant with Odia, Bengali, Hindi, and English.

The story of Odisha isn't known much. Babaji Maharaj Sri Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti (Kangali Charan Pati) started the Pathachakra movement whereby weekly Study Circles were conducted in towns and villages. This resulted in large number of devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology, tradition, and ritual. It has got no intermediaries. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't propose any fixed system of practice for Integral yoga. Each devotee is free to develop his own method of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine. 

Somehow, I don't feel it proper to paste the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo here. One can paraphrase and spur discussion. Writing long hand is a better meditative act. Using the latest edition is good where instead of IN it would be In. Whether, a few lines or few lines?

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.

Fine. Btw, are you aware of @shiv_cybersurg? He is also an admirer of Sri Aurobindo and you can explore commonalities.

Spirituality has no holiday, M.P. Pandit had remarked once. In a similar vein, it can be said that spirituality has no festivals. The habit of celebrations belong to the past. Savitri Era Religion doesn't encourage any special enthusiasm or exuberance to be reserved for any day.

The two sections are not watertight compartments. Growth and evolution is gradual. No one can decide in advance from where the next tranche of inspiration is going to come. The first principle life is that there are no principles. Nevertheless A drop of ink makes a million think!

Aditi and other Deities in the Veda by M.P. Pandit is available here. ia601400.us.archive.org/12/items/in.er

Savitri Era Learning Forum: The Mother’s boundless affection, tenderness, and compassion selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-mo

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been publishing this blog uninterruptedly since 2005. Each post is basically a compilation of relevant links.

While ensuring Hindu purity or rejuvenating its structures is a commendable intention, accurate evaluation of the past and promoting honest discourse is also Dharma. The way the so-called Hinduism has evolved till now, it can't be reversed. I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are guiding the humanity for more than a century now. The Ashram, established by them in 1926, acts as a beacon of light as regards knowledge is concerned. Their books are a veritable University meant for self-study and research. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Reform is possible only when you acknowledge evil selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/reform

This blog is dedicated to the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo while disseminating links to allied relevant studies and debates. Inputs welcome @ tusarnmohapatra@gmail.com

She is also famous in Bengali films. Deya Neya was remade in Hindi as Anurodh.

The rigmarole of deciphering diametrically opposite opinions on various great men, here, is so frustrating! In that sense, Peter Heehs has provided objective accounts of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother in their respective biographies authored by him. Also cover contemporary history.

I have been reading their writings from a young age and, as far as my impression goes, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk more about prsonal defects and deficiencies of disciples than the biological and genetic machinery propelling them. This downplaying of Nature is a bit curious!

After Independence we were fed with text book definitions of a nation, democracy, plurality, values in public life, role of media, etc although the reality was otherwise. Over the years, human nature took over and transparency surfaced. Thus the evolution is more honest and true!

Yes sir! Characters kam pad gaye! That's the weakness and also the strength because they provide raw muscle to right leadership.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't work for promoting Hindu religion or any other religion for that matter. They didn't work for only India. So any reductionist portrayal of them is erroneous. Aligning them or appropriating them for own narrow ideology, therefore, is highly flawed. 

Indira Gandhi secured votes from all sections of the society. But Kejriwal arose as a youth icon and garnered support just like JP and VP. But his downfall like Prafulla Mahanta was sure. Modi harnessed different tactics. It's good that manipulative politics is running its course. 

Yahan har saree ek kahani kehti hai

Since I was preoccupied with reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books and allied literature, I haven't read, practically, anything else apart from some Western philosophy. Thus I have no affinity with any other personality or school of thought. This, I suppose, is an advantage.

My inability to understand English has kept me away from Western movies and music. I haven't interacted with any foreigner nor have gone abroad. Still I consider myself possessing the right perspective, despite my supposed naïveté, which is quite apparent on this platform itself.

I have been associated with the #WorldUnion movement since 1982, and it has been my strong belief that the world is moving, exactly, in the direction as charted by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto. With the same aim in view, I had launched the Savitri Era Party in 2007.

Savitri Era Party is confident that the nation will recognise The Mother & Sri Aurobindo one day. There are thousands of people who would agree with my views but unfortunately my posts aren't reaching them. Harmony and not hatred is our agenda. Fraternity and not war is our goal.

There's no empirical evidence of Integral yoga producing verifiable results. As such, Savitri Era Religion refrains from endorsing it. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present and surrender to them is the most convenient way for all.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to Hindutva. Hence against RSS, BJP, and Modi.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to Dynasty. Hence against Congress and some Regional parties.

~Savitri Era Party supports maximum two Terms. Hence against BJD and TMC.

~Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP.

Savitri Era Party demands exit policy for all members of SC/ST so that those who want to come out of the Constitutional prison may do so voluntarily without any social or legal hurdle. Similar facility should be available for relinquishing entitlement to reservation. #AllAreEqual

Vinoba Bhave had started the Bhoodan movement long back. Many top leaders had resigned under the Kamaraj Plan. SC/ST citizens should come forward to become #AllAreEqual in the same spirit. They will be doing a great service to their future generations. Savitri Era Party supports.

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with the Ashram or Auroville model of living. It has got no special affinity with any specific social or political ideology. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is only requirement. Imbibing their ideals is vital. 

Most educated men haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books and their impression of him remains confined to the first decade of the last century. They are dismissive of his spiritual turn and work with The Mother. This is a lopsided appraisal as his prediction of Life Divine is ignored.

The phrase, Social fabric perhaps truly captures the spirit of harmony although the latter denotes a much vaster province ranging from man's inner world to outer universe. Fraternity and democracy are also key components for an ideal public sphere which Savitri Era Party aims at.

Savitri Era Religion is the logical outcome of my personal growth

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The other day, I received a request to buy and read the book, Svayambodha and Shatrubodha and also join their WhatsApp group, if interested. Since I don't use WhatsApp or Online Banking, I excused myself. Now, of course, I'm part of Arattai and feel proud that my wait bore fruit. I also intimated that I'm not very enthusiastic about the kind of things they are engrossed with. Having lived in the psychological environment of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for over sixty years, it's a Blessing for me not to be attracted by run-of-the-mill concerns and impulses.

As I turn 70 today, I look back at the last 20 years during which I have consistently provided intellectual leadership centring around The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. savitriera.blogspot.com and selforum.blogspot.com continue to spread right perspective and light of wisdom and yoga. With reasonable material achievements, and daughters in intellectual atmosphere, I take satisfaction from the leap out of the Odisha village where I was born and brought up. Odisha, however, leads the country in having the largest number of devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Not being part of any outside organisation or group, I may claim to have provided a reasonably independent, objective, neutral, and critical view of things, via Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party, in contrast to the partisanship and biligerence witnessed on this platform. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aim at Perfection and Harmony. Although, it's not easy to achieve it at the human level, understanding the dynamics of it from their books is the task. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been encouraging people to read, since 2005. Savitri Era Religion is the logical outcome of my personal growth, study, and social struggle. Since their complex system of philosophy and yoga remained confined to a tiny minority, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for popularity.

People are constantly evaluating various persons in history, and how different events shaped the future. The answers aren't easy to find because deliberate distortion of narratives is going on. Therefore, repeating, Sri Aurobindo is the greatest poet and philosopher is necessary.

Savitri Era Religion is confident that the present religions, and their various versions, will face severe interrogation by the younger generation. In such an event, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will be the most logical step given their formidable intellectual treasure.

When a doctor or engineer tells about consciousness or yoga, he is taken more seriously. But it should be remembered that science and non-science are different fields. Sri Aurobindo's Adventure of consciousness is a matter of psychology, and is yet to be established empirically. 

Thanks @archieposts for defending Sri Aurobindo, but a deeper look would reveal there's a grain of truth in the criticism of him. He may not be a British agent as alleged, but he and The Mother were certainly the agents of Enlightenment. His, The Secret of the Veda is subversive.

None of us are privy to a vision of a Rishi. So it would be better if you can tell how your reading differs from me. Academic discussion necessary instead of rhetoric.

That's subjective but the books are there in the public domain. In the yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, there can be successive experiences. I don't think you have read The Secret of the Veda with due attention.

Sri Aurobindo's thoughts are revolutionary.

Sri Aurobindo proposes a new interpretation by discarding traditional commentaries like Sayana's. He provides symbolic meanings like Indra = mind. Thus the mythological gods and goddesses turn different levels of consciousness. He also interpretes Yajnya as internal. So no ritual. 

I'm saying exactly that which is subversive of tradition.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't believe that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't want to create any new religion. They knew that the field is not prepared and disciples have to be weaned away from their respective past environments. Therefore they euphemistically called it a new yoga.

India is a multiparty democracy and Savitri Era Party has a distinct ideology. Although The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were not interested in active politics, the situation of the country warrants that their admirers, devotees, and followers come forward to give leadership to people.

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.

Borrowing books from library, and paying late fee at times, was routine. So, when Internet arrived at home in 2005, it was like manna from heaven. 20 years later, GoogleAI provides ready-made research on any question which surpasses human capability. And, it's just the beginning!

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Tusar Nath Mohapatra selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/tusar-…

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

Devotion to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, transcends their biographies. Drawing their power and compassion for the current problems of the world and future harmony necessitates our love, loyalty, and surrender.

Political battle between different religions go on uninterrupted, but Savitri Era Religion reminds of the transcendent. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk about evolution of the inherent divine consciousness towards truth, perfection, and endlessness. All are invited to collaborate!

Savitri Era Party is nothing but an aspiration for giving shape to the #FiveDreams, #WorldUnion, and #TheLifeDivine. Yet I'm accused of nourishing political ambition! It's high time the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo realised that they would have to come forward and unite. 

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. 

Interesting debate is going on on Vivekananda. It's unfortunate that correct information is not available even on him. However, Savitri Era Religion is firmly against astrology, mythology, and rituals. Reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo can shed light on this aspect.

Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams speech was broadcast over All India Radio, Tiruchirappalli, a few hours before which has more significance for the future of India and the world. Needless to mention that August 15, 1947 happened to be his 75th birth anniversary incarnateword.in/cwsa/36/the-fi…

The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/09/eradic

Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, SELF (2005)

+ Founder, Savitri Era Religion

+ President, Savitri Era Party.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Managing the mind through the waking hours is a strenuous task. Involuntary traffic via genes and hormones is difficult to regulate. Voluntary activity is constrained by the varieties of transactions vis-à-vis the surrounding. The Divine grace ultimately administers some balance.

Initially, hydrogen and helium were formed and other elements took birth subsequently through an evolutionary process. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo rely heavily on the same process of evolution for solution to myriad problems of collective living. Collaboration of all is necessary.

The dynamics of surrender has been explained by Sri Aurobindo in the fifth chapter of The Mother book. From a servant or worker to an instrument and then a child with complete identification with The Mother. This also shows how All life is yoga is possible

incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mo

Savitri Era Party has been demanding abolition of reservations and all other discriminations on the basis of religions or castes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises entails opting for Savitri Era Religion.

Durga Puja in West Bengal is an extraordinary phenomenon. Apart from being a collage of devotion, fashion, entertainment, etc., it is also a college of culture and management where even newborns start learning. Cosmopolitan atmosphere is in keeping with the spirit of Renaissance. 

It's quite interesting to hear how Richard Hartz became a follower of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. His own interest in philosophical matters led him to read The Life Divine and other books in the University library. Truly significant

incarnateword.in/audio/richard-…

It's not about territory or ethnicity. It is purely a religious conflict and Savitri Era Religion is the only solution. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises and worshipping them amounts to collaboration with evolution.

The greatest offer of India is The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The world is unwilling to read their books or discuss their philosophy, but Savitri Era Religion will bypass that obstacle. This is a silent revolution. The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home. #FiveDreams

Conflict is the cornerstone any organic functioning. Biology stands on it. Thus wishing away conflict is against human psychology. Even competition is not always friendly; cut-throat signifies violence. If conflict generates new energy and new dynamism, so be it!

There has been some elemental barriers to India's development for which no single party or person can be blamed. May be we have developed in a far greater way in other spheres which hasn't been recognised adequately. But let's hope this particular moment has evolutionary sanction. 

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1970068729037029755?t=Grtk9fv_j610WTEKy1DryA&s=19

Many intellectuals and academics in India haven't cared to read the works of the greatest poet and philosopher, Sri Aurobindo. I don't know about you but if you have not read The Human Cycle or The Life Divine please make it a point to do it. That would be a really new beginning.

Sri Aurobindo has written on castes but the present reality on which the principle of reservation is based doesn't benefit much from it. Further like the hatred generated by Hindutva hatred by the Dalits and towards them spoils social harmony. Savitri Era Religion is the way out.

I'm following 544 handles at the moment. Very important voices; collectively, they can be said to be forming a virtual Lok Sabha. Unfortunately, democracy hasn't been able to recognise the power of Social media. Similarly, people here also should learn to elect representatives.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent revolutionary changes which are difficult to define or imagine on the basis of past happenings. Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose any fixed formula or preconceived worldview. However, #FiveDreams form broad guidelines for the whole humanity.

I haven't seen anyone here reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books systematically. However, videos of certain persons are spreading wrong impressions of them. While this can't be avoided, the need for authentic information is very much there. Copy-paste brigade should wake up!

Savitri Era Party has been campaigning against Hindutva on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's vision of the future. It's also against Congress, the Left, AAP, and Ambedkar's ideology. Apart from abolition of reservations, granting Sovereignty to the States is its demand.

Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo warrants redrawing our sense of the world. Concern for one's own religion or nation has to take a backseat. The Mother's force can act through anyone, even in an apparently negative way. For the trajectory of evolution is never straight. 

In the bank, calculating interest exactly to the pie was the norm. After resigning from the bank, when I invested some amount in Mutual funds its value fluctuated on a daily basis unlike Fixed Deposits. This was a new reality coinciding with my study of postmodernism at that time. 

Savitri Era Religion owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is free from mythology, tradition, and rituals. It has no connection with any other religion or philosophy. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the only requisite without any initiation or intermediary.

India is full of problems, but poverty is the most important which is forgotten these days. Identity issues are taking centre stage, instead. However, following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can facilitate many solutions. Right narrative and right framework of thinking is essential.

Scores of handles try to defend an imaginary Hindu narrative, but fail to understand evolutionary intention. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to give the most modern worldview where clinging to the past is not a virtue. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are right options.

Yes DYC should be congratulated. Congratulated for reopening the most fundamental issue of what is truth and how should it be apprehended. This one issue which redefined both common sense as well as the Indian Constitution should be examined afresh. Power ephemeral, truth eternal

Savitri Era Party doesn't believe in any presumptive version of history or victim hood. There should be no hesitation in recognising the contribution of Christianity in shaping the modern world. Plus, there shouldn't be an iota of doubt that modern India is a gift of Colonialism.

Availability of matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo online has multipled manifold during the last decade, but people are unable to draw benefits from them due to confusion and prejudice. Even longtime followers of The Mother are not clear in their approach towards her.

Tourists who visit Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, or Auroville, return with a sense of bewilderment which they tend to forget after a time. Reading a few booklets also doesn't help much. Savitri Era Religion seeks to put worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at the forefront.

Since Savitri Era Religion is based on a new ontology, philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo needs to be read accordingly. Similarly, Savitri Era Party overlooks many of their assertions and predictions. Further, not to be overenthusiastic on yoga instructions is important too. 

In many functions and conferences, learned speakers are invited to address the gathering. While the subject is dealt with with utter sincerity, the content hardly percolates to the audience. Thus, the first task should be why anybody should be interested in these kind of topics.

Cultural programmes are part of most functions and a lot of mythology is invoked through them. The same is true for devotional music which is generally considered harmless. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may take care not to be unduly influenced by mythological fiction.

Thinking is available to all human beings and an idea can come from anybody. Expressing that and managing something are two different areas. It's also true that one becomes an instrument of intuition while writing, or speaking, for that matter.

Savitri Era Religion grew out of my personal circumstances. Google was born today in 1998. I had also shifted to my new home in Shipra Riviera five months earlier in the same year. A computer and Internet arrived in 2005. Google provided free Blogspot. And Savitri Era took birth.

Savitri Era Religion ended confusion on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They are one consciousness, the one Supreme Divine; nothing less, nothing more. No more addressing them as guru, yogi, rishi, sage, or avatara. No longer any scope of taking shelter under the obfuscation of yoga.

Orientation in another path is a lifelong barrier in accepting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. I had the advantage of coming to them at an early age. Intellectual bulwark grew later. Savitri Era Religion is an excellent opportunity for channelising one's energy and mentality, aright.

Since I had no control over the place of my birth, i don't harbour any victim hood or pride. The only pride and gratitude is that The Mother chose me before I was intellectually mature to read and choose Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party push alternatives.

Avatar of The Essays on the Gita turns into emergence in The Life Divine which makes Sri Aurobindo's philosophy Messianic. Savitri Era Religion aspires to solve all geopolitical problems like Palestine or Partition of India. The Mother's love and compassion will invade every home. 

Savitri Era Religion is for the future generations since present followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are too occupied with old religions and rituals. So much so that the hypocrisy and vacillation is too apparent. There's no compulsion and each person should take his own time.

Conquests and Colonialism are certainly crucial from the point of view of history but defeats and degeneration of culture are equally important from the evolutionary standpoint. How traffic of ideas and wisdom contributed to shape the future should also receive adequate attention. 

Thanks. I just allude to Sri Aurobindian insights. Yeah, that's for the people in general but we the devotees worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Trouncing Hitler is the modern day mythology.

Eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Thousands of students pass out from schools named after Sri Aurobindo but it's doubtful whether they accept even a fraction of his philosophy. In fact, the mythological atmosphere prevents young minds to be philosophically inclined. But The Mother & Sri Aurobindo never lost hope.

I had met Patrice once in World Book Fair in Delhi. His enthusiasm for Mother's Agenda was really infectious. Today, the environment is such that to talk about The Mother's experiments on body seems absurd. Geopolitical speculation has so much pull that who cares for Immortality?

These issues should be free from any emotional attachment. Scientific inquiry should proceed regardless of what Sri Aurobindo wrote over a century back. It's necessary to be conscious that many of Sri Aurobindo's assertions lacked empirical buttress.

I lack competence for scrutinising such complicated technical matters. What our Universities teach should guide my thinking at the moment.

That's a larger issue but in this context your being Tamil, Sri Aurobindo's admirer, and sympathetic to Hindu nationalism introduces suspicion into what's purely an academic issue. You are certainly free to present your findings for public scrutiny to earn favourable credentials.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1967972638778855450?t=bugC_t2yMrP5C9SeX2avWg&s=19

No other Prime Minister had enjoyed such spontaneous popularity and uninterrupted support from the masses. Leading the nation and the party undisputed for twelve years would have been impossible without evolutionary intention. But lack of transparency and accountability tarnishes

Religious scriptures have been there for thousands of years without making much difference to human condition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise the power of aspiration which enkindle text into mantra. Not through empty rituals, but by purity and sincerity in the entire being.

India ceased to be a modern and forward looking society in November 1990, when V.P. Singh govt. fell. Democratic ethos took a downward turn. Falsehood and Fascist tendencies grew. Media revolution has been in overdrive for reversing the emancipatory characteristics of evolution.

Being a law-abiding citizen takes care of most demands of morality but eradicating unethical thoughts is not easy. Integral yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has a big role here. Understanding human nature and its intricacies facilitates locating origin of undesirable promptings. 

Wrong ontology can lead to defective worldviews. Each religion teaches one and Dharma is quite comfortable with Monarchy and subjugating dissent. Democracy, on the contrary, empowers the Individual and his voice. 1947 signifies a watershed, for this very reason. Let's protect it.

Whatever may be its political ramifications, Deepak Vohra should be thanked for foregrounding the problem of sex in old age which seldom receives any thought. However, it is to be noticed, how creative and circumventing one can become for expressing love to someone. Hail Freud!

Just clicked this picture. This place too needs attention since people are concerned about even Mumbai sea-facing promenade.



Leaders are surely capable but others are also waiting for opportunity. Retirement age or stipulating maximum number of terms is a must for justice in this matter. Democracy needs to discourage rise of personality cult and dynasty. There shouldn't be any room for indispensability. 

Upholding democracy is the responsibility of each citizen. Like spirituality, practicing it in the day-to-day life is also important. Social media interactions should reflect that. Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is an excellent alternative. 

Savitri Era Religion is the most convenient way for freedom from the clutches of mythology, tradition, and rituals. Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offer profuse opportunities for thinking in new ways and learning unprecedented insights. No fixed method of practice needed.

So many things are being said through videos and movies, but what's the use? It's only by writing books and articles that new facts and arguments can be presented in a forceful manner. Apart from competence, credibility of the author is also crucial. All these takes long to earn.

Singling out Modi is not enough. You should also show where and how the whole Dharma bandwagon, of which he is a product, errs. That would be more constructive contribution.

I don't agree. Everything can change in the Congress except the centre. That's an anomaly; against democracy.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1968962846412144699?t=Bsz1RNa2tnrJhsI-Cdh14w&s=19

Savitri Era Religion will change the world. Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 draws the future road map, the blueprint of which was laid down in The Life Divine. The Mother has indicated Supramental consciousness in principle on February 29, 1956.

Hindutva has imprisoned Sri Aurobindo in Uttarpara. He is nothing beyond the speech he delivered there. His Puducherry period, and whatever he wrote there, is completely ignored. They are of no use! Still better than the Congress and the Left for whom Sri Aurobindo doesn't exist!

Nothing is outside the Market and its progression is irreverent of human life span or Calendar divisions of time. Individuals are surely clueless before the complex dynamics of the Market and hence no one should claim prescience. State is part of the Market.

Market is never perfect nor assures swift result conforming to fond hopes. Inequity is integral to Market. Market hates fixed rules and loves to surprise. Human stupidity is the currency with which it runs its Casinos. Market invents ability and responds via chaotic interventions. 

The cultural and educative components of Sri Aurobindo's writings are enormous. Every person should have some exposure to it. However, his more revolutionary contributions pertain to religion and politics. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party provide suitable alternatives.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave a new philosophy to the world. They also introduced the concept of yoga for putting it into practice for participating in the evolutionary march towards a higher consciousness. Transformation of human nature is the focus leading to an ideal society. 

Different types of solutions are mooted by different people but the future is uncertain as the evolutionary intention is under wraps. Savitri Era Party prefers surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their grace without insisting on any particular ilk of Development template.

Humanities education in India should be revamped with Sri Aurobindo at the centre. Phenomenology and postmodernism need not be construed as purely Western contribution. Sri Aurobindo's hermeneutical approach in reinventing tradition and upturning religious canon break new ground.

"It was the hour before the Gods awake." And, I go to bed. "We do not belong to the past dawns, but to the noons of the future." Not being interested in dawn, I sleep through the forenoon and get up at noon. That's perhaps the timings for the Future man! "Hour of the unexpected."

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Attachment to mythology and rituals is so strong that a free and rational environment is unthinkable for people. Benefits accruing from social aspects of religion are a constant attraction. Political identity and national pride have great pull. Savitri Era Party is an alternative. 

Opportunity for Modi too. x.com/SavitriEra/sta

I left Odisha and came to Delhi in 1988 and since then, it has been a fruitful period of learning and getting oriented with diverse fields. However, my optimism has dwindled over the years due to failure of politics in stimulating any positive change. Let's pray to Sri Aurobindo.

Most are eager to provide a macro view of things that's likely after a decade or so. It's not astrology or any other science. It's just bluffing with sophistication. This faculty of human mind can never be surpassed by AI. Speculation is deemed as true as per number of followers!

Ascent and descent as represented by the two triangles forming Sri Aurobindo's symbol is a unique ontological formulation highlighting the ongoing evolution. The same has been told as the joint action of aspiration and grace in The Mother book. All life is yoga is very much this.

When Nolini left, M.P. Pandit took over as editor of Advent. I was also reading him from World Union and Service Letter. I used to wonder how he is able to integrate such diverse ideas and write in such liquid-like English. Met him in #WorldUnion Conference in Bengaluru, in 1985.

Amusing to read daily debates on what is Hinduism, who is a Hindu, whether India is a Hindu Rashtra, why RSS and BJP are not protecting Hindu interests, how can Hindu traditions be incorporated in Govt programmes, etc. We at Savitri Era Religion are thankfully safe from all these. 

Amal Kiran is famous for his poetry and literary criticsm, but he was also into history; "That one small head could carry all he knew." However, despite many pleading for rejecting the AIT, Savitri Era Party is in favour of waiting for conclusive evidence. incarnateword.in/other-authors/…

When relation with America is strained, let me recollect that I studied B. Sc., B. Ed. (1973-76) in Regional College of Education, Bhubaneswar which was set up by NCERT with American collaboration. It was a great experience with students from the Eastern and North Eastern region.

Chandannagar is Puducherry for this part of the country. Was remembering Sri Aurobindo while moving around and crossing the river. What was the hurry to sail to Puducherry? Because Paul Richard was to arrive there and meeting him was necessary so that The Mother gets the message.

I am following 345 handles as of today and a few of them are acquainted with my account. Most of them are top content creators on this platform with thousands of followers. Many possess high level of professional expertise. However, I don't agree with their views and stand alone.

Apart from the influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, family atmosphere and living in different environments has shaped my thinking. The liberal atmosphere of Odisha and the writings of its great sons and daughters have certainly prepared me for the present role in social media. 

Lack of awareness about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their philosophy is causing great harm to the country. People are being exploited by various organisations through their divisive ideologies. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the best option in such a situation.

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking had created an intellectual storm in 1988. I had come to Delhi the same year, and read a long review of it in Caravan. Later, I read The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979) by Gary Zukav. All these were interesting, but Sri Aurobindo stood out.

Kishor Gandhi wrote books on Sri Aurobindo's socio-political philosophy. Apart from M.P. Pandit, Shyam Sundar Jhunjhunwala used to provide guidance on socio-political issues through Sri Aurobindo's Action. Kittu Reddy was active in this arena but unfortunately turned to Hindutva.

Savitri Era Religion has no institutional bondage or formal ritual, and so, provides complete autonomy to the devotees in the matter of developing relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It has also the advantage of not being connected with any other religion or philosophy.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose any stipulation or restriction on lifestyle choices and personal celebrations. Rather, it encourages innovation and creativity in designing various aspects of collective life, in keeping with the Integral spirit of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo were conversant with occult practices and therefore they emphasised silence and exploring inner countries. The outside world however is different and Savitri Era Religion is about love, devotion, and surrender to them for collaboration with evolution.

Nice. Thankfully, all these things are well documented.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo belong to the whole world. Their writings have epochal repercussions for the entire humanity. However, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is essential for descent of the Supramental consciousness. That is the crux of their philosophy and action.

How can a Professor of English term a word a phrase? x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

No, I asked about ‘Atmanization’ in the book.

[Noa Schwartz Feuerstein calls it ‘Atmanization’, a phrase that I like very much.]

You have identified the word Atmanization as a phrase. Is it an oversight or deliberate?

As regards psychicisation, the trajectory of voluntary effort is also constrained by the prior Psychic plan!

The Life Divine couldn't be written before Darwin

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Being economic units Ashram and Auroville have their own compulsions and limitations whereas Savitri Era Religion is absolutely devotee oriented. The concept of Collective yoga is different from collective meditation or celebration of Special days. No dependence on intermediaries. 

Every year thousands of students take admission in colleges and out of those only a very few study philosophy. They certainly get a different orientation in life which stand them in good stead in professional sphere too. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is similar to it. 

Indians long for technology made by Indians. Westerners too take great care not to cross the boundary of Western philosophy. Hundreds of books are published every year but they wouldn't touch Sri Aurobindo with a barge pole. Philosophy suffers as a result and humanity as a whole.

Many tend to portray Kejriwal in a simplistic fashion, but he continues to be a source of confusion and chaos. The whole chain of events from Ramdev to Modi can't said to have been neatly scripted and executed by Kejriwal. Evolutionary forces were at work. x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

People were shocked when I talked about politics with relation to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. In the process, I earned more detractors than followers. Launching Savitri Era Religion also added fuel to the fire. But I have carried on singlehandedly with utmost conviction and hope.

The last twenty years are an important period in the intellectual history of India during which most people became confused, and lost their integrity. But thanks to Google Blogspot and Twitter or X, I have been able to provide an independent line of thinking due to Sri Aurobindo.

A compilation of his journal articles from 1942 onwards, The Meeting of the East and the West in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy by Sisir Kumar Maitra was published in 1956. I was also born, the same year, and am indebted to this book for stimulating my interest in Western philosophy.

Darwin's evolution and Freud's unconscious mind were hanging in the balance and Sri Aurobindo explained them on the basis of the Vedic ladder of consciousness. Descent of Supramental is an inevitability and worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is basic. 

The ladder of consciousness should be understood in conjunction with the four facets of Divine manifestation as delineated by Sri Aurobindo in The Secret of the Veda. Varuna, Aryaman, Mitra, and Bhaga broadly corresponding with Maheshwari et al have social ramification as castes.

@sharmasatyan Sri Aurobindo has explained the phenomenon of Varna divisions on different occasions. The four suns, viz., Varuna, Aryaman, Mitra, and Bhaga broadly correspond to it. He has a similar classification for four powers of Divine Mother elsewhere. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/the-gu…

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1966109743069671524?t=4REJQoUUOKZggEMRkZJQRQ&s=19

While your advocacy for the Hindu cause can't be contested, creating an artifical category like HINOs appears anomalous. How would you explain dividing the Hindu society by such a caste like feature. Besides, is questioning the religious orientation of people in a democracy okay?

There can be many such descriptions but you are basically fighting for the acknowledged Hindu population in India (covered by the Hindu Code for instance). Thus dividing them under the rubric of some arbitrary attribution like HINO is patently a contradiction. It's also insulting. 

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1966169874352451679?t=ScbrD0KBI4iJDCqNbOh8vA&s=19

Apart from the biological uniqueness of individuals, the Vedic taxonomy of human nature lays bare a more complex scenario. The overall ontological formulation matters. Opting for the right philosophy, therefore, is important. x.com/SavitriEra/sta…

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1966185341582483666?t=hQP3sHgXRg-2qYU0rrQkzg&s=19

While one is free to choose his or her food according to personal choice, the same doesn't hold good for philosophy. Following a faulty philosophy can lead a person to disastrous decisions. The Vedic worldview as restored by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the safest course in life. 

Subscribing to an ideology or narrative that suits one's social and cultural background is common among people. The job of philosophy, however, is to jolt the mind out of the comfort zone. The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, in this context, are magnificently significant. #TusarNathMohapatra

Without the audacity of claiming any spiritual experience or realisation, may I affirm that whatever I'm writing today is the result of cumulative intellectual activity spanning seven decades. One is liable to be misguided without adequate reading. Sri Aurobindo demands reading.

Supporting evolutionary forces is important but Savitri Era Party fails to find anyone in the current political milieu of India. Similarly, it doesn't take any stand on international situation since it's so chaotic. But churning is on and will lead to Sri Aurobindo's #WorldUnion.

Savitri Era Religion, valiantly, believes that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. This liberates from the bondage of mythologies and imagined narratives of manufactured history. Reading Savitri can usher in harmony.

Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion backed by a coherent metaphysics. It operates at the psychological level without any external prop. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine amounts to conscious collaboration with evolution.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their content shouldn't be the only objective. Understanding them takes long but reading on a regular basis creates an atmosphere of serenity and harmony. The very mechanical process of reading has its own effect and vibrations.

Integral education is known in a far wider circle than Integral yoga. It also features in the University syllabus. Further, there are over a thousand schools in the county dedicated to this ideal. NEP 2020, too, is said to have elements of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings.

Universal unconditional love doesn't expect anything in return. Top professionals blending their experience with spirituality is a rarity. Dr. R.L. Kashyap was able to accomplish a lot vis-à-vis Veda. And Dr. Ramesh Bijlani continues to radiate his wisdom.

Decent people are generally reticent about their religious belief and most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are ultra-decent in this respect. But this also helps to be diplomatic and avoid taking any firm stand. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party provide confidence.

Many new States have taken birth in India and creation of new Nations in future can't be ruled out. Geopolitical transformations are very much part of evolutionary plan and it would be much more profitable to explore such possibilities instead of constantly delving into the past.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine also involves thinking about why their background, culture, or historical circumstances were so dissimilar and complex. But then it's all in the scheme of evolution. The Life Divine couldn't be written before Darwin. 

While Sri Aurobindo is waxing eloquent about the concept of Avatar in The Essays on the Gita, the same is conspicuous by its absence in his magnus opus, The Life Divine. Moreover the problem has been compounded by the Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo themselves.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the fundamental tenet of Savitri Era Religion. Thus, overlooking many of their historical contexts and utterances is necessary. Devotees need to be sensitive not to insist on literal interpretation of cold print.

Savitri Era Religion owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is also an excellent alternative. Savitri stands for aspiration for Immortality as enshrined in the Veda & The Life Divine sets forth an evolutionary path for mankind through descent of Supramental consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo had welcomed the Cripps Proposal and had urged the Congress leaders for its acceptance. There is a belief that the partition could have been averted had his advice not rejected.

Read an article by @Hashestweets in @htTweets that he and @amitvarma blog at middlestage.blogspot.com. It was 2005, and that's the first time I learnt about a blog. Then, I launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as focus selforum.blogspot.com

An Odia short story titled, 'Type Four' by Ananta Prasad Panda is famous for this theme. [the turmoil of a lady who was respected in a locality in Cuttack... move to a govt quarter in Bhubaneswar and their... The lady feels that her existence has no meaning.]

Magunira Sagada tells of an allied sad theme.

[Maguni is a bullock cart driver, who has won the hearts of the people. One day the news spread that people would no longer ride in Maguni's cart, because the Singh family plans to ply a motor-bus in the town.]

Awareness of Odia music is very limited even in West Bengal although Bengali singers used to dominate during the golden age of the 1960s. Nirmala Mishra was the most popular singer who shot to fame with Aaji akashe ki ranga lagila ଆଜି ଆକାଶେ କି ରଙ୍ଗ ଲାଗିଲା। m.youtube.com/watch?v=j27mMu…

Sandhya Mukherjee has sung over a dozen songs in Odia films during the 1960s among which Phula rasia re ଫୁଲ ରସିଆ ରେ is the most appreciated. Au chanda lagi ଆଉ ଚାନ୍ଦ ଲାଗି is also popular. However, the music of her first film was directed by Nachiketa Ghosh. youtu.be/5Xr4NrikiaM?si…

Aarti Mukherjee's first song in Odia, Dele dhara katha ଦେଲେ ଧରା କଥା was a romantic duet which is still popular. But the next, Udasi akhi chahin rahe ଉଦାସୀ ଆଖି ଚାହିଁ ରହେ is famous for its haunting melancholic mood. Ei Jhuma jhuma ଏଇ ଝୁମା ଝୁମା is also great. youtu.be/AsVclyWThxs?si…

Sipra Bose is ranked almost equal to Nirmala Mishra and has the most evocative song in Odia, Janena janena ଜାଣେନା ଜାଣେନା to her credit. Besides, she has lent her voice to several duets with folk theme. This is in contrast to her image as a classical singer. youtu.be/cJ39oQYLYic?si…

Trying to understand the 20th century history or the journey of modern India without considering the occult as well as the overt contributions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo would be highly warped. Studying philosophy or psychology without them, similarly, can be very misleading.

How about Sri Aurobindo's interpretation of various deities in his The Secret of the Veda? The philological aspect also has some role to play there. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15

The trick is to cut through the clutter and confusion.

Proceed through the process of elimination.

Keep aside your past baggage for a while.

Forget all your questions and doubts.

Read the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

Be ready to be shocked by your own transformaton. TNM

From Sitaram Goel, Koenraad Elst to M. Nageswara Rao, criticism of RSS continues. But understanding such a vast organisation with a century behind it isn't easy. Thus to dub it as this or that is immature. We are a free country and no one prevents to raise an alternative marquee.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram has been publishing The Mother and Sri Aurobindo's writings at a very subsidised rate. This includes that of their disciples and other scholarly works. sabda.in/m/cw.php

These and out-of-print books are available free online too. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I had encouraged my daughters to study philosophy in the college, and both of them are authors. Family influence and parental inducement has a great role in the realm of education, and The Mother traces it back to the prenatal stage.

Many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are connected with public institutions or hold official positions. Obviously, they pursue their agenda and seek to further own career. But those who pretend to be devotees just because of their official posting should never be believed.

There are more than a dozen handles for copy-paste from the writings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. Reading snippets is not a very effective way of learning about their philosophy. Engaging with people or responding to current affairs has the potential for attracting attention.

Use of religion for political purpose and extending religious rituals to lifestyle matters are cause of its decline. Modern mind refuses to abide by such coercive measures. Savitri Era Religion, deriving its existence from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, promises to transform future.

Hegel spent a lot of time with Indian philosophy whatever was available to him in translation at that point of time. He also wrote on them quite a bit but unfortunately he confused between Brahman and Brahmin and America seems to have caught the contagion.

Surprisingly, not many are around who write on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo after the demise of direct disciples. This is due to people are reluctant to be identified with any single subject. Cafeteria approach, as Gagdad Bob once called it, is preferred to.

India was being ruled by scores of kings and there was no uniform culture or social structure. Linguistic diversity prevented large scale scholarly documentation or evaluation of social reality. Yet there's no dearth of people who are fond of describing these things clairvoyantly! 

Having observed functioning and evolution of democracy in our country during the last sixty years, I'm of the view that full efflorescence of democracy isn't possible democratically. Like gold ornaments it must include some alloy. Modi is the first PM with complete hold on party.

It's necessary to understand that religion is an emotional issue but a superstition too. There was no god before man since all gods are products of human imagination. Thus assuming that one's own religion is the best is nothing but self-delusion. Savitri Era Religion is rational.

The Mother came to India to meet Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914 and left her body on November 17, 1973. Apart from her varied material achievements, she & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises.

I also request the same for my handle.

Savitri Era Party reiterates its demand for returning the ownership and administration of Matrimandir and Auroville to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the purpose of the Govt takeover has been resolved long back. Govt needs to be sensitive towards such new religions. 

No person is able to take care of his or her own nutrition in a perfect manner. So, to expect the same individual to select a political party or choose the right candidate by studying their past, present, and future is a tall order. Imposing such onerous burden on him is absurd.

So many people are expressing negative comments about Auroville without realising that it's directly under the control of the Central Govt. So whatever good or bad happens there Govt is responsible for that. Further expressing hatred for foreigners in a blanket manner is inhuman.

Close study of The works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their prophecies clearly reveals a dismal future for the dominant religions. Savitri Era Religion with its modern and evolutionary approach will cause the collapse of its predecessors. Uttarpara speech is merely embryonic

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine enjoins the responsibility that their words are not blindly accepted as self-evident truth. Understanding the context of their various books, compilations, and conversations is important for drawing right insights.

The Veda, in Sri Aurobindo's context, is not about mastering the Sanskrit text but rather understanding the internal meaning of various terms and names. Imagining the deities as a ladder of consciousness in consonance with what Sri Aurobindo lays out in The Life Divine is the key. 

IIT Jodhpur is in news, and it appears to be a better candidate to set up an arm in Auroville than the current favourite, Chennai. If such is the environment in IITs, then perhaps it matches the ongoing tussle among Auroville’s residents, with Govt of India as a silent spectator.

Results of Integral yoga are not assured

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Savitri Era: Our task is love, devotion, and surrender savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/08/our-ta

Dedicated to the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Savitri Era blog has been offering an alternative mode of looking at the world for the past twenty years. Sole effort by Tusar Nath Mohapatra.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are part of 20th century tumultuous history and yet they are far far away and above all these happenings. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Indian Knowledge Systems is a new slogan from Hindutva camp which invokes Sri Aurobindo at times. The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo should be the fundamental guide for any study of ancient Sanskrit texts but this is not happening. Consequently flawed interpretation persists. 

Human beings are human beings irrespective of their language, religion, or nationality. Hence to hate human beings in order to love god is absurd. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity & world peace. Join it for #FiveDreams.

Letters on Yoga by Sri Aurobindo are of immense help to the devotees but they tell only one side of the story. If the questions by the disciples come to be published at some future date then a lot of sociological and psychological data relating to spirituality would be available.

Sri Aurobindo was against the whole crowd of moderates and yet today when we admire the Constitutional values vis-à-vis Hindutva, the contribution of both the groups can't be denied. The Western and Christian legacy of Freedom struggle in shaping modern India must be appreciated.

Many Centres relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are running on dynastic lines. While this is natural when real estate is involved, Savitri Era Religion seeks to be free from dependence on physical objects. Imagining The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine suits.

True Indian debate is really very important. Delhi and nearby people think they are the true Indians. The North Indians in general think they're the true Indians. South Indians claim to have preserved the rituals, and hence they're the true Indians. Bengalis feel they gave birth!

There are many instructions by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their disciples in the Ashram. But Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend following any rule on lifestyle matters. Devotees are free to choose their own life circumstances without any necessity of looking as religious.

Democracy conceives a Parliament for ruling the country but unfortunately all wise people are outside it. Media used to provide them space but it has either been sold or godified. So social media is the last resort but here too arbitrary algorithms rule. Now AI has all the wisdom. 

Sri Aurobindo's birth anniversary is a week away which coincides with Independence day. Most Indians are unaware of the significance of this great occurrence. People of West Bengal paradoxically are oblivious of this but only Sri Aurobindo has the potential of resisting Hindutva.

Sri Aurobindo's original works including Savitri are in English. They have been translated into different languages but the mantric effect can't be said to have been effectively transferred. English therefore has to be learnt & tamed howsoever difficult or inconvenient it may be.

A section of Indians want Modi to be out and to see Rahul Gandhi in his place. But Savitri Era Party refuses to accept this as the ideal solution. The wisdom and vision of Sri Aurobindo should guide the nation as outlined in the #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947.

Sri Aurobindo's wisdom reigns supreme in philosophy. Still, Savitri Era Religion modifies it. Similarly when it comes to practical aspects like yoga, psychology, education, or socio-political outcomes, the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't produce commensurate results.

Many aren't aware that granting of Independence to India was settled for some other date but for some reason Lord Mountbatten changed it to August 15, 1947. He would certainly not be knowing that it happens to be Sri Aurobindo's 75th birth anniversary but some unseen force acted.

Only 30 views in three years. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo should share it on a wider scale.

Dulchhe sindhu

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals and has no connection with old religions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, & transcendent. The Life Divine is different.

There's a tendency to judge different persons of history according to stray remarks by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Party takes a balanced view to admire people for their contributions considering the difficult circumstances that they encountered. Even Modi has pluses.

Darshan Day celebrations have a specific format which has become a sort of prison for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their philosophy. All life is yoga concept requires wider involvement and multifarious engagements. School activities have variety, but don't percolate to society.

I don't understand much the politics around tariffs but such disruptive decisions looks to be good for everyone. Democracy has become too much status quoist and therefore such developments may trigger multiple changes. Will it lead to anarchist environment? No, it's evolutionary.

Prayers to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo – The Mother's Prosperity

Ambedkar had foregrounded the plight of the backward sections and Indira Gandhi rooted for Garibi hatao. Marxist scholars underwent the Subaltern turn and now Market economy has run its full course. Poverty and deprivation, however, remain a constant. AC local train started today. 

Sri Aurobindo is often remembered as a militant revolutionary but his reputation was partly destroyed by Tagore's Ghare Baire. Further, separation from his wife, Mrinalini Devi and The Mother's ascendancy as head of the Ashram were not very pleasant aspects from the social angle.

By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, Savitri Era Religion brings freedom for its devotees from astrology, mythology, superstition, & rituals. Savitri Era Party, similarly, discards the warped history of Marxists and puts Sri Aurobindo at the centre. 

Democracy has not been functioning well in India from the inception. Indira Gandhi's record of destroying various institutions is well known. The present Govt is doing the same as being highlighted by @MNageswarRaoIPS. He has wide knowledge & experience but politics is different.

Reframing our understanding of the world and its future in consonance with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision is highly important. Mantric power of reciting Savitri for facilitating descent of the Supramental consciousness shouldn't be objected to by rational mind.

The Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is specifically geared towards the descent of the Supramental consciousness and advent of a new race. Therefore confining them merely to their writings or their actions as recorded by history is utterly meagre and misleading.

Certainly "luminous and voluminous," yet limited and limiting. Sri Aurobindo famously remarked that he could have continued expanding The Life Divine. Further, AI can summarise anything in seconds.

These are all matters of faith. I haven't met anyone receiving such transmission.

Sri Aurobindo's books admittedly are difficult to read and understand. So the solution is to read the commentaries of other authors on his books. It's a slow and steady process and hence posing proficiency or bluffing should be avoided. For aesthetics, his originals are the best.

Orientation in the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo empowers not to be impressed by dominant narratives. Sri Aurobindo wrote against as much the hegemony of Western commentators as the misinterpretation of traditional scholars. Therefore no harm in believing in his philosophy.

Surendra Nath Jauhar, founder of Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch, was born on August 13, 1903 sriaurobindoashram.net/events-2024/sn

Ramakrishna Das, fondly known as Babaji Maharaj, was born on August 14, 1908 mothersorissa.org/Babaji_Maharaj

Savitri Era Party pays its respects to both the pioneers.

I gave the name, Savitri Era Religion in 2006 the genesis of which can be traced to March 29, 1914 when The Mother reached Puducherry after a long journey from France and met Sri Aurobindo. Evolutionary inevitability will ensure its growth so that other religions go on shrinking.

The present Govt is bad and there should be a change. But what's the alternative? People take pleasure in criticising but what's the solution? Everyone is clueless. Only Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is confident of the evolutionary plan.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

How the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stands today is difficult to perceive in the absence of good books on the subject. Devotees too avoid writing on this. But an independent observer shouldn't go by only the official statements. Not to be agenda-driven is also important.

Savitri Era Religion entails worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Reading their books or practice of yoga is secondary. Longing for #FiveDreams, however, is pivotal.

Savitri Era Learning Forum has clocked 1, 09, 9999 hits during the last 20 years. Countless people have been benefited by its coverage. It's also a documention of how I have resisted Hindutva on the one hand and Congress & Leftists' narrative on the other.

Right from the Indu Prakash days in 1893, Sri Aurobindo's task was formidable. Apart from opposing the Colonial rule, he had to show the right direction to the Indian political opinion. Besides he must dispel the confusion created by the intellectual fermentation of 19th Century.

The Idea of India (1997) by Sunil Khilnani can be said to be appearing right at the juncture of a new epoch. India Unbound (2002) by Gurcharan Das was equally seminal. Being Indian (2004) by Pavan K. Varma follows the same trajectory. The Second World (2008) by Parag Khanna also.

Many of Sri Aurobindo's writings are rhetorical and some polemical but broadly they respond to the pre-Independence scenario. His reliance on poetry too echoes British Romanticism. Thus astute grasp on what's relevant for the future is important like The Mother’s book on flowers.

Social media has immense capability for publicity, but the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is not reaching people. Official institutions are reluctant to take any initiative in this direction. To make matters worse, those sympathetic to Hindutva are spreading confusion.

Framers of Indian Constitution never imagined a mobile phone in the hand of every citizen with Internet connection. The modalities of democracy therefore have become outdated. A large nation like India itself has become an absurdity due to overpopulation. States need Sovereignty.

Results of Integral yoga are not assured, and hence it's necessary not to be overenthusiastic about it. There is great power in the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, but after their departure no one can assist anyone in this matter. Savitri Era Religion focuses on devotion.

There's no formal initiation or Deeksha ritual for Savitri Era Religion. Anyone feeling love for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is automatically part of it. No form of pilgrimage or collective activity is mandatory. Each one is free to select his or her own suitable mode of devotion.

The Life Divine is the highest political goal

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

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.
