Savitri Era in 2026

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra - 2026

Acquaintance with the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can easily wean away people from harmful ideologies like Hindutva. Sri Aurobindo reinterpreted the Veda, and restored its original significance and relevance for the modern generation. He wrote Savitri to retell them.

While constant war is going on between Left and Right, Savitri Era Party posits Sri Aurobindo as the right recipe. There can be many disagreements with his various historical roles or opinions but they were contextual. His evolutionary framework is what should be the focal point.

Nehru was responsible for not allowing the dominant religion dictating terms to the Govt but failed to fortify his policy with adequate armament and ammunitions. Savitri Era Party is confident that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only alternative to dethrone Hindutva.

Democracy means rule by the people or their representatives. Being conscious of the mode or nature of administration and act as a watchdog is also incumbent on the citizens. But social media has turned it into entertainment, and a career for many. Watchdogs have vested interests!

When people talk about Market, most of the time they think of success. Those case studies are sold as dreams; hymns to Chadhta Suraj are sung. But Market also involves failure, loss, or defeat. Thus blaming this or that is just superficial; deeper reasons are purely evolutionary.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent, is the fundamental principle of Savitri Era Religion founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956) in 2006. It's free from rituals.

Many institutions adorning Sri Aurobindo's name depend upon public donations or Govt funding. Some run social services on commercial basis. All these can be factors for compromise or misrepresentation which is unavoidable. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, is focused on surrender.

Many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came out to express their opinion during the Book controversy in 2008. The conflict subsided with time but exposed fault lines of Integral yoga. The Auroville goings on reflect many misgivings too. Peacetime open discourse is essential.

Academic narratives get influenced by politics instead of philosophy. Even philosophy is prone to racial or geographical bias. In such a circumstance holding on to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings is a safe recourse. For Savitri Era Religion they are the one Supreme Divine.

Not being attached to any institution or group has allowed me to be independent in my thinking. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have proved to be a strong anchor in my standing against Hindutva when so many others falter. Evolutionary worldview saves from narrow national perspectives.

Posts are normal on this platform against Congress, Communists, Socialists, Dalits, Muslims, Christians, and some Journalists. Savitri Era Party, however, aspires for harmony. This can be achieved by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who represent human unity and universality.

Since Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine it's not against people worshipping human beings as gods or goddesses. At least it's better and rational than worshipping imaginary characters of mythological fiction or abstract conceptions.

Granting Sovereignty to the States under a loose Federation can turn India the nucleus of future #WorldUnion that Sri Aurobindo foresaw in his #FiveDreams Manifesto. Otherwise, presently it lacks any moral stature for perorating on geopolitical matters since Delhi looks Colonial.

Instead of thinking about the poor in our country many are concerned about the wealthy Indians in America. Nationalism has many unseen dimensions including protecting gods in different countries and in the heaven. Boasting about new highways is common but the lanes are forgotten!

In 1906, Sri Aurobindo resigned from the Vadodara Royal service and moved to Kolkata as the Principal of the newly established Bengal National College, now Jadavpur University. Side by side, he was also acting as the editor of Bande Mataram newspaper founded by Bipin Chandra Pal.

There's no point in complaining about the British siphoning funds away from India during Colonialism since America is reimbursing continuously through subsidised tariffs. I didn't know about this phenomenon before the recent hike as we are pathetically supplicating to reduce them. 

Someone has tried to link Sri Aurobindo with Ram Swarup, Sitaram Goel, Arun Shourie, and Rajiv Malhotra. This is pure misrepresentation and intellectual dishonesty. People should read his books independently without any preconceived impression or prejudice incarnateword.in/cwsa

It's heartening that Nigrahacharya is clarifying matters relating to different gurus and cults. His criticism of Sri Aurobindo representing a break from traditional Shastras is accurate which also forms the basis of Savitri Era Religion. Others too should speak with such clarity.

World has changed immensely since 1973, when The Mother passed away. Thus the life in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry or Auroville shouldn't be construed as a model for the future. Anyone can follow them anywhere in the world without the misconception of sustainable development.

My search for meaning of life through literature, philosophy, and politics acquired a strong underpinning via The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. Then it occurred to me that mere intellectuality is not enough and I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. That was 20 years back.

Under the banner of Savitri Era Party (2007), I have been providing an alternative narrative and ideology that is different from what is ordinarily followed by most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It is also different from Hindutva, Congress, and Leftist line of thinking.

Many learned persons equate Sri Aurobindo to Gandhi, Tagore, Vivekananda, Savarkar, et al. This is absolutely unfair. Sri Aurobindo's principal contribution is in the field of philosophy, mystic poetry, yoga, and spirituality which is something unique in the entire world history.

Since I am not in contact with other devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for many years, my own situation is the reflection of their action and grace. Group activities provide a sense of belongingness that may be necessary at a time but ultimately it is solitary.

Madhu Dandavate as Railway Minister had introduced cushion in Sleeper coaches and development continues. The Mother too was concerned for development of Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville. But evolution shouldn't be confused with this line of progress. Shedding dross is the task.

Having seen ideological swings at different periods in the past it's my firm belief that hold of Hindutva will decline. Because people seek self-interest and no religion by itself can provide this in full. Power and wealth are essential and Sri Aurobindo stands as an alternative.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best among available variants even if one doesn't agree with their system of yoga. Savitri and other poetic output are surely superlative. Reading them can convince one that they are the one Supreme Divine who deserve surrender.

Thanks to @Sanjay_Dixit for highlighting Uttarpara speech of Sri Aurobindo in a video chat at DEF talks. However, there was a factual error that the speech was, originally, delivered in Bengali. But it was actually delivered in English since Sri Aurobindo was educated in England.

India at present is in a precarious state. Its politics is centred round religion. It's internal security is focused on religion. Its defense is religion-based too. Its foreign policy also hovers around religion. External trade and commerce largely are also sensitive to religion.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have resolved all philosophical disputes

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

I had launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 and twenty years have passed. Discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has taken many different forms. Thankfully, no one today feels bad about publicity on them. However writing on them has dwindled.

selforum.blogspot.com/2025/12/focus-…

I have been spreading an alternative narrative on this platform for the last fourteen years. I have not come across anyone who agrees with me. That is because no one else has the kind of grounding in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo akin to me.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-pla

The aims of economics and politics have to be imbued with morality and compassion. This is on the basis of the inherent unity of all human beings or fraternity. Savitri Era Party, driven by the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is in a unique position to pursue this path.

Integral yoga, Integral education, Integral Advaita, etc. are associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Integral philosophy, Integral psychology, or Integral sociology also are used at times. However nuances are different and are modified according to the situation or argument.

Despite espousing Enlightenment values, Western countries have not been able to create something like Auroville. So expecting it to be a reality in India is a chimera. But as a private property, it belongs to Savitri Era Religion. Govt. should not force secularism on Matrimandir.

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo understand who they are, as for others they are just historical characters. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are an attempt to gather their devotees and followers under one umbrella so that adverse attacks can be fought with unity.

More and more types of interactive, immersive experiences are going to swamp the human mind in future as a result of which reading will be pushed to the background. Seducing attention with attractive pictures and videos, therefore, is not an innocent act; it's clearly subversive.

Each educated Indian should read The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo incarnateword.in/cwsa/15

One may not be interested about the Veda itself but understanding the meanings of a handful of terms can alter his or her perspective. However SA's opposition to AIT is not foolproof.

Please search AIT at my X profile page. You can use any keyword to know my views on different subjects. Sri Aurobindo is a scholar and hence his writings are subject to critical scrutiny. It's a standard academic practice and I can't stop it. Thus we need to be cautious.

Constitution of India is against its languages. States are generally open for anyone and thus migration is rampant. In such a situation, maintaining the purity of languages is a herculean task. Politicians just pay lip service but they understand the benefits of mixed demography.

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been my most practical contribution during the last twenty years. As its Director, I have been highlighting importance of right knowledge and perspective instead of yoga, sadhana, spirituality, or mystical experiences.

selforum.blogspot.com

Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can heal the Hindutva contagion, easily. Graduating from Uttarpara speech to the #FiveDreams Manifesto is a natural and effortless journey if one is genuinely curious and sincere. Opposition parties don't possess this potent formula, alas!

The #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo was broadcast over AIR, Tiruchirappalli on August 14, 1947, a few hours before the Tryst with Destiny speech was delivered by Nehru in Delhi. It has been in the sidelines all these years, but seems like to be the focus as India's agenda.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't depend on the usual methods employed by other religions. Instead of being a collective or community affair, it's by the individual in his own unique way. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine triggers a myriad possibilities.

I have been trying to bring clarity to understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy since their writings are full of complex concepts and formulations. Besides, their historical roles have many twists and turns. So the first step is to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.

English is sacred to us because Savitri is written in it. Hence respecting its grammar and punctuation marks should be an elementary concern while writing. Avoiding space or paragraph after every sentence gives a compact look just like the arguments offered shouldn't be spacious.

Savitri Era Religion believes that the reception of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's ideas in future will be on the basis of a more rigorous examination of their philosophy and methodology, which is good. Thus a simply devotion-centric scenario is not enough but worshipping them key.

The Foundations of Indian Culture by Sri Aurobindo is an enigmatic work, now available as The Renaissance in India incarnateword.in/cwsa/20

Many confuse it as his glorification of ancient India, as a result of which his scenario-vision of an ideal society embedded in it is missed.

Sri Aurobindo is the biggest brand of India and anyone promoting it will automatically be benefitted. This is at the pure material level. As a prominent soft power resource, handling its vast inventory imparts commensurate profits at the consciousness level. Grace has its effect.

While it's tempting to dismiss Feuerbach et al as symbols of suspicion or banishment, it would be more fruitful to harness their neglected dimensions, like Indra reclaiming cows, or light, from the Vritras. In this context, Adam Smith, or even Franz Kafka, can come to the rescue.

It's not Rishi Aurobindo. It's simply Sri Aurobindo. No Rishi or Maharshi. He signed in the style as Sri Aurobindo. His books have been published under the name Sri Aurobindo. His Ashram at Puducherry is Sri Aurobindo Ashram. So please don't distort his name. He is Sri Aurobindo.

Fine. Then he should be called Rishi Sri Aurobindo and not Rishi Aurobindo. Sri is very much part of his adopted name and not an honorific. He also dropped the surname Ghose. Further, he was against using old titles llike Rishi as his task was conquering new higher consciousness.

As the one Supreme Divine, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. They have resolved all philosophical disputes, and put paid to perennial quarrels over political and economic ideologies. May it be recognised!

GoogleAI provided a long list of benefits of watching movies when I asked it, Am I missing much by not watching them? It's fine, but at my age those benefits don't matter much. But I'm of the view that too much of stress on it is harmful. Fighting political battles via it is bad.

Life's experience teaches many things

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956)

Time heals
Has nothing to do with time
It is our brain
Which jettisons from time to time.
Old memories go
To make room for new
I had studied Botany
No trace remains now.
Thus our individuality
Is being redefined
In a constant manner
Yet we feel a monolith I.

Tusar Nath Mohapatra, December 20, 2025
https://x.com/i/status/2002406507460374989 

Let there be no confusion that Savitri Era Religion was founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956) in 2006. It has a distinct philosophy and ontology from what was originally taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Learning Forum and Savitri Era Party are allied outfits.

As a rebel Sri Aurobindo talked about transcending the scientific view of the world and seeking spiritual realities via yoga. But this opens floodgates for frauds, quacks, and imposters. Commercial interests mushroom in collective activities. Savitri Era Religion advises caution.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have expressed poor opinion about politics at places, and hence, their devotees and followers consider politics as dirty. But the same people consider lotus symbol as resembling The Mother's symbol and quietly vote for BJP. This is a pathetic situation!

The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are writings which compete in the marketplace of ideas for prescience and relevance. They are not self-evident truth, automatically. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine but does not assure about results of yoga.

The last seventy years have taught me that worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best solution. I gave the name Savitri Era Religion in 2006 since it is essential for legal and sociological purposes. With coherent philosophy it provides freedom from mythology and rituals.

Pasting quotations from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in social media amounts to a great deal of virtue signaling. Thus persons should be judged by their opinions on other matters where they show their true colours. Savitri Era Party aspires for harmony and not hatred. #FiveDreams

Savitri Era Religion encourages devotees to build their own relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, independently, without any reliance on any institution or individual. No fixed method of practice or rituals are involved in this exercise. Only love, loyalty, and surrender.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for developing the right kind of mental framework for the modern world. Apart from philosophy, psychology, or yoga, lots of literature in the form of poetry, plays, and literary criticsm are also part of their works.

Accessing the spiritual planes of consciousness, as explained by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is not possible for all. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, therefore, is the preliminary step as proposed by Savitri Era Religion (2006). No fixed method of practice or rituals.

Meetings and conferences relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo along with art and music shows are a common feature. All these reflect the Integral nature of their vision and spread awareness and education. Yoga and Healing camps are also becoming popular.

forms.gle/NxgWiyGaWuac3Y

Apart from yoga and spirituality, the greatest contribution of Sri Aurobindo is an alternative vision and narrative, as encapsulated in his #FiveDreams Manifesto (1947). Savitri Era Party (2007) interprets this as opposition to BJP as well as Congress, for the present scenario.

It is not difficult to write scholarly articles on Sri Aurobindo by quoting passages from his writings on various themes. AI has made the task yet easier. But the real challenge is to go beyond textual understanding and present actual intent. Integral outlook is essential for it.

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914 which is the most important event on our planet. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the most important task at present. No comparison, no elaborate analysis of their action.

Sri Aurobindo started publishing some articles in Bengali in a journal called Dharma ধৰ্ম্ম, before migrating to Puducherry. It's interesting to note that these writings on the Veda, Upanishads and Gita contain in seed form what he developed later in Arya.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/09

India saw partition in 1947. It adopted a Constitution in 1950 incorporating caste and perpetuating discrimination. Nehru inaugurated a dynasty the ill effects of which continues. So India has been deprived of true democracy and equality. Savitri Era Party aspires to remedy this.

History wars go on nonstop here and it's difficult to distinguish between history and legends or even mythology. All literary creations are thrown into the muddle. Movie plots are making things more complicated. Savitri Era Religion (2006) is an honest attempt to reject mythology. 

Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859) and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (1838–1894) were being discussed recently who have seminal contributions to the building of modern India, we see today. The role of Christianity and Western philosophy is immense in constructing our mentality.

Principles of ethics are clear and simple. Citizens of India must uphold them for protecting democracy. Nothing becomes right just because a big crowd is supporting it. Sri Aurobindo is the only symbol of ethics in the whole of humanity. Savitri Era Party encourages to follow him. 

Accusing others has become normal whereas the right approach is to look into the defects of one's own ideology or methodology. Electoral success shouldn't be construed as a ratification of any ideology. Democracy and modernity can't be sacrificed at the altar of religious hubris.

People in UP were voting for the Congress. Then they started voting for various versions of Janata Party. For a time they favoured the Bahujan Samaj. Now they are voting for BJP. So, no one should take it for granted that people have become their own. They will shift before long.

Roller-coaster journey of Western philosophy is an excellent historical record of how human intellect has struggled over the centuries in search of truth. Grappling with political or economic issues also add realism to the whole quest. Finally, Sri Aurobindo provides the answers.

Each person is free to interpret the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo according to his or her understanding and need. Although, I was conversant with it from an early age, I started Savitri Era Religion at the age of fifty. Obviously, life's experience teaches many things.

Videos and podcasts have become common and reading is being relegated to the background. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and to understand them some amount of reading is necessary. Further reciting Savitri creates Mantric effect.

The beauty of Savitri Era ontology

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Let there be no end savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/11/let-th

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-place-is-secured-in-history-books.html

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/savitri-era-religion-is-modelled-on.html

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/savitri-era-religion-doesnt-have-any.html

The beauty of Savitri Era ontology is that it not only surpasses all previous formulations but also modifies Sri Aurobindo's own. They are the one Supreme Divine and hence it is necessary to imagine The Mother transcending gender and the dualistic shadows of ancient philosophies.

Sri Aurobindo rebelled against dry rationalism and advocated intuitive perception but unfortunately the same can't be implemented in an academic milieu. However studying the dynamics of spirituality shouldn't be debarred by the universities. The Life Divine is the best candidate.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the first necessity. Fostering plurality and individual freedom is also our duty. Feelings of ownership and entitlement therefore need to be moderated. Respect for all kinds of knowledge and creativity is a must.

Savitri Era Religion encourages a down-to-earth approach towards spirituality and self-management. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings are vast with profound concepts. It's not easy to be benefitted by them as is visible in many examples. So worshipping them is the best avenue.

Incarnate Word is a very accessible site for reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings and allied literature. It has an excellent section with 337 compilations that are just like new books. It makes easy the labour of research with ready-made reference

incarnateword.in/compilations

The Divine manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is not acknowledged widely. A lot of confusion prevails among devotees also. Many find it appropriate to confine them within the Hindu religion while another section treats them as nothing more than Gurus. Savitri Era is key.

Tension between Sri Aurobindo and Hindutva is the most interesting subject of this century. Savitri Era Party has been highlighting this which has implications for other religions also. Historians are yet to chronicle significant facets of this encounter. Scholars are in slumber!

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with other religions and mythological fictions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent diverse backgrounds but worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the most futuristic apprehension of them.

Explaining Savitri has turned a sort of escapism. Obviously no one has answers to our day-to-day problems, but Integral yoga needs to be aligned with a conscious seeking of solutions for them. At least there should be awareness about the anti-evolutionary forces such as Hindutva.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have predicted the descent of Supramental consciousness for transformation of life and the world. Savitri Era Party has been opposing Hindutva and the Congress for paving the way for such a prospect. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is vital.

Surendra Mohan Ghose (1893 – 1976),
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee (1901 – 1953), and
Debi Prasad Chattopadhyaya (1933 – 2022)
were influenced by Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, apart from
Vinoba Bhave (1895 – 1982),
Jayaprakash Narayan (1902 – 1979), and
Deendayal Upadhyaya (1916 – 1968).

Took voluntary retirement from Punjab National Bank today 25 years back. At 70 I look back with satisfaction at my intellectual journey and having provided an alternative narrative under Savitri Era banner on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and future vision.

I have seen three distinct phases of political dominance in India during the last seventy years. The next one clearly belongs to Sri Aurobindo and Savitri Era Party has been highlighting this for the last two decades. People don't know about him but evolutionary force is at play.

Since democracy entails majority rule, RSS consciously sticks to the Bottom of the pyramid. Left was milking it on economic basis but Hindutva focused on religion. Not even religion but on its Dolls wedding version. Thus appealing to the Lowest common denominator ensures success.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine, and yet I'm not in favour of treating their words as self-evident truth, for all time. Thus there is no reason why things cannot be changed over which consensus of certain people was created in the last century.

Sri Aurobindo's writings are great. The system of Integral yoga that he has devised along with The Mother is pathbreaking too. But the current situation in India is in a precarious state. The dominance and pernicious effect of Hindutva has to be countered by Savitri Era Religion.

Another movie is making waves
But I won't be able to watch alas!
Like many such Files that were hyped
Since I have forgotten watching.
Many books are coming out too
But I don't read nor will
Still I must pamper my self-esteem
By posting here on X every morning.

TusarNathMohapatra, December 17, 2025

https://x.com/i/status/2001325418440511583

Theosophy too has a similar system or would you attribute it to the probable meeting of Blavatsky with Max Théon? Are you then proposing that The Mother was partly responsible for The Life Divine? I don't think this aspect has been highlighted, definitively, in recent works on her like by Patrick Beldio or Nika Kuchuk.

https://x.com/i/status/2001346981395075143

Unlike other critics, Savitri Era Party maintains that Hindutva is a valid political agenda which has every right to test its strength in the Indian democratic arena. But lack of transparency and theoretical clarity is a big problem. Further, it's against Sri Aurobindo's vision.

To judge Hindutva by simply the damage it has inflicted on the polity would be one-sided. How much it has contributed to building confidence and drive among a large section of people should also be reckoned. Each era has its pros and cons. But the future belongs to Sri Aurobindo.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most sensible mode of expressing religious sentiments. Allied poetry and philosophy offer ample aesthetic and intellectual satisfaction. Besides, Savitri Era Religion has the potential of dethroning Hindutva.

Congress is not so much a problem. Most people in India have a visceral hatred towards dynasty who instinctively support Hindutva. Intellectuals find ideological affinity with Congress but many of them are paid. Thus Savitri Era Party is the only alternative in the circumstances.

Hindutva stance vis-à-vis Sri Aurobindo isn't very clear. They pay lip-service when needed and laud his political phase but skillfully avoid his major philosophical contributions and the spiritual aspect. They also play down the implication of his teachings on religions in future. 

That's the system
They say
Be a part of it
Or you will be thrown out.
So everyone falls in line
Pretending it to be leonine
Self-interest is the bottom line
Thus the system is happy.
But asymmetry lurks
With its quicksand turfs
System becomes unstable
For it's a tower of bubbles.

https://x.com/i/status/2001690542233784606

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo surpasses all streams of Western philosophy. Their contributions to psychology and political theory too is superlative. Still keeping their writings out of University curriculum is absolutely unjust. Educated people should raise voice.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine requires awareness about their extraordinary contributions which have been meticulously documented over the years by their disciples and erudite scholars. Ashram or Auroville shouldn't cloud one's impression of them. 

Bengal Renaissance played out throughout 19th century in which various religious movements flourished. This was triggered by European influence but in Europe itself thinkers like Schopenhauer, Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud created an atmosphere of suspicion for religion.

The Moonje connection is missing, it seems.

My place is secured in the history books

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Let there be no end savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/11/let-th

Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b.1956). This blog, running since 2005, provides an alternative worldview and narrative based on the philosophy, yoga, and future vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

That The Mother & Sri Aurobindo spent enormous energy for defeating Hitler is the basic mythology of Savitri Era Religion. This template is very important for understanding political developments since evolution turns some as its instruments irrespective of flaws and deficiencies. 

I don't understand technology, and hence am susceptible to nourishing doubts about the election process. Manipulation has been an weapon for Modi from the day one. It is continuing from the British period but now it is beyond the power of comprehension of any common man. Ominous!

My naïveté about spirituality and ethics was blown away during the controversy over a book by Peter Heehs in 2008. Since then, I have been relying on my own understanding for interpreting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance. No ecosystem networking or funding. No echo chamber.

The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo is a unique resource for symbolic and psychological interpretation of various deities. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/sarasw

https://x.com/i/status/1989992671994347984

I have tried to read various things, including The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings, through my seventy years, but haven't been able to understand life or the world. Art, literature, theatre, philosophy, etc have myriad theories but nothing is conclusive. That's human condition!

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Sri Aurobindo's message is very simple selforum.blogspot.com/2025/11/sri-au

The Mother passed away on November 17, 1973. Peter Heehs has written an excellent biography of her which has been admirably reviewed by Aravindan Neelakandan.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only condition for Savitri Era Religion. Even, one is free not to believe in their philosophy or prophecy. Exploring the intellectual firmament should be an individual's independent enterprise. No compulsion.

The State-wise picture is more complex. In UP, people have been voting for different combinations. Charan Singh was the first to rebel against Congress. Thus, it's not a straight shift from Congress to BJP.

https://x.com/i/status/1990454753437135072

I'm not a Modi supporter and writing against him for more than a decade but would like to plead for him a bit. He may not be well accomplished in education but has enormous grassroots experience and long administrative experience apart from being in different parties. Good actor!

https://x.com/i/status/1990470369183199679

By establishing the Ashram on November 24, 1926, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo created a metanarrative. Its growth process was complex and multilayered. The practice of Integral yoga itself was unstructured and adventurous. It continues to attract attention as a model of fraternity.

Savitri Era Religion, with its global presence, can usher in a better social and political atmosphere. Allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can inculcate a rational attitude for problem solving. Freedom from influence of monarchy via mythology encourages democratic approach.

Savitri Era narrative is twenty years old which favours aggressive publicity for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Dedicated handles on this platform is almost negligible which proves lack of conviction on this score. However awareness of them is growing as other narratives are hollow.

One should reach at Sri Aurobindo through genuine intellectual quest but that's difficult. Savitri Era Religion provides the easy way of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and subsequently exploring their philosophy and yoga as per one's capability.

My twenty years in social media of disseminating The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's message is backed by forty years of devotion, loyalty, study of their and allied literature, and different types of organisational and promotional work. Being an example in society is also one of them.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo worked for the Vedic ideal of Immortality. Various deities have been interpreted by them as a ladder of consciousness, and descent of Supramental consciousness is part of the evolutionary journey. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is essential.

At the essential level, philosophy and religion have the same goals, and, hence, Western thought has failed to maintain its avowed distinction, on many occasions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, thankfully, don't profess such pretensions, and talk about The Life Divine, forthrightly.

Ken Wilber gave a big push to Sri Aurobindo towards the end of the last century and yet the West remains oblivious of him. Even CIIS has banished him. It can easily be perceived that The Mother is the barrier. But she turns out to be the pivot and fulcrum of his whole enterprise.

It is only by reading his Complete Works that one can discover why Sri Aurobindo is the greatest poet and philosopher. incarnateword.in/cwsa

The Life Divine is acknowledged as his magnum opus where he integrates philosophy, religion, politics, and physics. Savitri seeks Immortality.

Savitri Era Religion is about worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Their philosophy and yoga psychology are vast and elaborate, but the devotee is not bound by them.

It's surprising that many people assume the flow of time needs to be tamed and accuse history to have been unjust to them. Such an approach doesn't stand scrutiny from evolutionary viewpoint. Those who feel Colonialism was an aberration should understand its transforming power.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry has some strict rules regarding lifestyle and the relevance of such an organisation today should be judged carefully. Dependence for livelihood makes many people to be part of it without any significant contribution towards society or spirituality. 

Life is complex, and Integral yoga is a good coping mechanism, but being admitted to the coercive life of the Ashram at a young age should not be an option for any one. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the right formula instead of deceptive romanticising of spirituality.

Decontextualising is considered a defective practice but, paradoxically, Sri Aurobindo himself has been cruelly decontextualised in many of his edited volumes of Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA). Letters and names of the disciples have been omitted. incarnateword.in/cwsa

There are many books on Sri Aurobindo's philosophy but they aren't integrated with the aspect of religion that he & The Mother represent. In this sense, a comprehensive appraisal of his legacy awaits scholarly attention. Limiting him to nationalism too is another misleading line.

RSS definition of Hindu is changing over the years and now it accommodates even the atheists. It's also talking about spirituality and the Veda. Savitri Era Religion however is on the opposite course. Atheists have no place here as worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a must. 

Now Malhotra and Rao aren't on the same page as regards the definition of Hindu. Others are accusing Ranganathan and Deepak for derailing the Hindu cause. Madhusudan too faces diatribe on many occasions. While this slugfest is amusing, we, at Savitri Era Religion, feel protected.

Savitri Era Religion is very much a reality and it's for the scholars and journalists to probe the phenomenon. Hindutva was on the rise during last three decades but is gradually losing steam and sheen after temple construction. In such a scenario Savitri Era Party has potential.

Accepting her as the Divine Mother at a young age helped me to be free from the irrational influence of Astrology, Mythology, and Rituals. Sri Aurobindo's symbolic interpretation of the Veda fleshed out my conviction later. These are the basic foundations of Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother used to stress that their life-stories are not important as their inner consciousness is the true reflection. This was surely intriguing but the fact is, when we worship them as the one Supreme Divine, then binding them to biographical plot is absurd.

On November 24, 1926, Sri Aurobindo attained Siddhi and a new phase of his life began. The day also marks establishment of Sri Aurobindo Ashram under The Mother's guidance. The yoga of Sri Aurobindo also took a new turn. It became The Mother-centric. His philosophy had to change.

Philosophy draws a line as its limit and then tries to explain the whole resulting in endless, tangled arguments and theories. Sri Aurobindo, straightaway, goes to the source. Savitri Era Religion still simplifies and worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Hindutva, in its effort to expand its influence, is increasingly depending upon Sri Aurobindo's explanations of religion and spirituality. This mode of appropriation is absolutely predatory, and I have been pointing this out since 2005. Savitri Era Religion acts as a shield here.

No one is writing on Sri Aurobindo as neither textual analysis nor comparative studies offer any newness. Religion is the only space left on which I hold copyright. If Savitri Era Religion really establishes as a new religion by 2050 then my place is secured in the history books.

Every now and then, people post about either purchasing or reading a specific book but till now, I haven't seen anyone proclaiming that he has completed The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo. Let me reiterate that voyaging through this oceanic expanse is a must for every intellectual.

Savitri Era Party is the only party which adopts SriAurobindo as its icon. It's surprising that no one else among 8.2 billion people on this planet is enthusiastic about him. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present. 

AI is writing encyclopedia and in future the narrative it creates will be treated as most authentic. Old history books will lose their relevance. So what I'm posting today is fodder for tomorrow's history. Credibility will matter; not celebrity status. Social media will be source.

Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths

Guides and counsellors

Are mushrooming these days

Experts on life-skills

But they forget the fact

That we are all patients!

Finitude and ignorance

Looks like for all these years

The song was in hiding and lo

Half-the-day has passed 

By humming it since the morning

The song has it all

The sky, the stars, rain and lightning

The sun, and forests and gardens

With birds chirping and butterflies fluttering

Nobody could have predicted the future events when Sri Aurobindo and The Mother met for the first time in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. Thus, recognising their contribution retrospectively is paramount from the evolution's view. Historians wouldn't be interested in consciousness.

Those who ruled India in the last century are nowhere now. The present rulers, similarly, will be washed away by the flow of time. Savitri Era Party prays to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their constant protection and guidance to the section who stands on the side of evolution.

Always write Sri Aurobindo

Don't club him with Vivekananda

Don't try to make sense of him via quotations

Don't think that he worked for Hinduism or Hindutva

Don't imagine him without The Mother

Don't assume that he detested politics or religion

Don't say he thought for India only

In this unequal world

When all are fighting for their rights

Mother tongue is the nature's gift

In equal measure.

Young and old, rich or poor

Without any inhibitions

Without any character limits.

But silence is golden!

His prose is dense; otherwise Sri Aurobindo's writings are quite rational and systematic. Understanding his arguments is not difficult but his versatility deserves to be admired. Only in The Secret of the Veda he exhibits his originality and mystic ability by hermeneutic novelty.

Regardless of scholarly verdicts, it is apparent that Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths. The Mother's Western background, connection with Max Théon, and Messianic philosophy add to the credence. Sri Aurobindo, however, represents the Vedic substratum and aim.

Savitri Era Religion

New sun in the horizon

Will dispel the darkness

Of prejudice and confusion.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Who are always present

Carry on the evolution

Towards a state resplendent.

We on our part

Have to rely on them

Like in a train

Through picturesque terrain.

Thales rejected Mythology, and Western philosophy was born. Sri Aurobindo, however, seeks to expand the scope of reason and insists on supra-physical realities. While it is difficult to refute such philosophical assertions, immense hurdles appear from the practical point of view.

Childhood can't be imagined without stories and adults are no less addicted to movies. With so much of material entering our mind it's certainly difficult to know who we really are. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion helps.

As far as I am concerned, I feel that The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have not permitted us to rely upon any set of technicalities beyond their own formulation and terminologies. Hence professional knowledge shouldn't interfere in our aspirational trajectory. selforum.blogspot.com/2017/06/he-hea

https://x.com/i/status/1994498972166361402

Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950 and how India has been able to benefit from him during the last 75 years is a matter which must be analysed deeply in all spheres. Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for adopting him as an icon for raising politics to a new level.

Sri Aurobindo's commentaries on scriptures and epics are considered valuable. His extolling of ancient Indian culture is also inspiring. His works on education, art, and literary criticsm have started impressing the academic community. All these have immense educative potential.

Universities in India teach Analytic philosophy, Continental philosophy, Ancient Indian philosophy, and some selected modern Indian social philosophy like Gandhi and Ambedkar. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of The Life Divine, unfortunately, has not been included in their syllabus.

Indian Constitution is an admirable document, but its authorship is a bone of contention. Has Sri Aurobindo any role to play in its drafting? The answer is no, but if one analyses his writings in Bande Mataram and Karmayogin, then it becomes apparent how he dealt with principles.

https://x.com/i/status/1994845718780227848

Explosion of information hasn't made people any wiser. Motivated narratives rule the roost and pride in pushing them ahead is increasing. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the only way for saner living in this scenario.

Criticising Colonialism is a pet practice of politicians and academics alike. Savitri Era Party however is firm in its view that Colonialism, despite its negative features, was an instrument of evolution and hence blanket antagonism against Western culture is blatantly erroneous.

The metaphysical framework built by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most modern and coherent worldview without knowing which one is liable to be misguided. Studying it by self-effort is essential as the general education system is yet to accommodate it.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't have any apex authority

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This is the right time to study the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for a couple of months before choosing any other platform or project. Right knowledge has the power to lead one in the right direction.

Then you would have written Sri instead of Shri.

https://x.com/i/status/1995184991756841064

People don't know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Understanding their philosophy or spirituality is possible through dedicated avenues like Savitri Era Religion. Otherwise, they remain buried under the history of their scores of more famous contemporaries, in the last century.

Several factors led to the rise of hate-based Hindutva like the Temple movement, Terrorism sponsored by Pakistan, Appeasement policies of Govt., Wrong depiction in Bollywood, Stray incidents during festivals, and Targeting women. But political exploitation of it is reprehensible.

I just clicked a news item by Jagran Josh in the Google homepage. Immediately, pop-ups started raining incessantly in different shapes and sizes. Must be two dozens, and exasperated, I quit. All sense of decency and decorum has vanished now. No sense of proportion or any emotion!

Belief in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, as the one Supreme Divine, is the fundamental requirement for any progress in yoga. Because aspiration for the higher consciousness is possible only when one has full faith and confidence in them. It is more than mere devotion or surrender.

If you read Sri Aurobindo's later works, evolution is the watchword. Thus, if you feel that the past should be the guiding spirit, it may not be appropriate. Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950, but he had never associated himself with the ideology or activities of RSS.

https://x.com/i/status/1996195959274135738

AI can answer any question on Sri Aurobindo in a second. No need to read scholarly books. But the challenge is to go beyond established narratives. Savitri Era Religion is completely new and lacks citations. Thus AI would be silent about it. So, need to recognise the new reality.

Twenty years back, a lot of people in the West were talking about Sri Aurobindo owing to Ken Wilber. However, in A New Look at Aurobindo (1990), Frank Thompson had demonstrated how Sri Aurobindo's philosophy was manifestly influenced by Christian doctrines digitalcommons.butler.edu/cgi/viewconten

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the core principle of Savitri Era Religion, established in the year, 2006. Sri Aurobindo had passed away on December 5, 1950 and The Mother on November 17, 1973.

Heartening to see that tributes and homages to Sri Aurobindo are pouring in from all corners. Looks like the nation's consciousness is fast opening to receive his epochal vision. Need to demolish the conspiracy of Marxist historians to banish him. Five hours left to pay respects.

Although representatives of all parties are expressing their deep reverence towards Sri Aurobindo, only Savitri Era Party (2007) is truly dedicated to his ideals. Other parties have other icons and respective ideologies but Savitri Era Party is free from predetermined narratives.

Admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are very much within their rights to be guided by the standard form of their teachings. However, as Founder of Savitri Era Religion, I have been pursuing a different path since 2006 without any qualm of defying them.

No one assured me that the country I was born in will be a highly developed one. So, no frustration on that count. No one gave any firm indication that human misery will vanish. So, no disappointment on that score, either. That leaves only The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to rely upon.

Men may come and men may go, but the world goes on forever. Thus to think that we can understand the functioning of the world and change it according to our fond hopes is nothing but a superstition. So in the meantime, worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't assure any success in yoga. It avoids any promise of spiritual visions or mystical experiences, as found in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. It simply provides an alternative ontology that they are the one Supreme Divine, who are always present.

Only those who are conversant with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy understand how others have a very different worldview and outlook. Both for the religious and secular minded, reading the books like The Life Divine or The Synthesis of Yoga can open new vistas of insight.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914, but the world is still reluctant to recognise its profound significance. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine without any reliance on brick and mortar. Also no connection to any other religion or mythology.

Giving it a fine structural framework many thought that Integral yoga can be practiced independently but unfortunately the whole system is nonfunctional unless tethered to The Mother. She is the pivot and the fulcrum and her love, grace, and compassion is an essential ingredient.

Savitri Era Party is the only solution in the current political situation. Recognising Sri Aurobindo and his future vision should have been the job of intellectuals long ago but better late than never. This will happen by the grace of The Mother and not by orchestrating protests.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata on August 15, 1872. Bengal Renaissance had run its full course. Later during his participation in the Freedom struggle, he started publishing his synthetic vision in Bande Mataram, Karmayogin, and Dharma. Savitri Era Party seeks to take it ahead.

By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, Savitri Era Religion (2006) modifies the metaphysical framework and system of yoga of Sri Aurobindo. It also bypasses his assertion of not starting any new religion.

I happen to be the Founder of Savitri Era Religion but it doesn't have any apex authority or institution. There is no initiation ceremony nor any system of registration. So it is by expressing their affiliation to it by the devotees voluntarily that Savitri Era Religion can grow.

Savitri Era Party disagrees with the dominant historical narratives since the role of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has been neglected deliberately. Similarly, it feels that many currents of Western philosophy are irrelevant since Sri Aurobindo's insights have not been incorporated.

Hindutva has been overactive to appropriate Sri Aurobindo and takeover the network of Centres and devotees related to him. I am the only person who speaks against Hindutva in public under the banner of Savitri Era Religion (2006) & Savitri Era Party (2007) savitriera.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Religion doesn't consider The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings to be self-evident truth. They have to be read within their context and reconstrued according to the new ontology of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, where needed. Calling them avatar is wrong.

The Mother declared that the Supramental light and force touched the Earth consciousness on February 29, 1956. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party, therefore, are in a constant state of anticipation. All preconceived ideas and predetermined narratives are of little utility. 

Savitri Era Religion is against proving the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It's a matter of perception by the devotee. One can be influenced by any of their multiple facets. That acceptance is important. Otherwise, it is a long struggle of reading snippets and comparing.

Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as icons is the basic requirement for Savitri Era Party. Aspiring for human unity and world peace in accordance with the vision of The Life Divine forms the object. The #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 lays out the blueprint.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend living either in the Ashram or Auroville since ordinary life provides the right circumstances and opportunities for evolution of any individual. Similarly it's also incorrect that Integral education can be imparted through dedicated schools.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion involves an entirely new ontology without any connection with old philosophies, theologies, theosophies, or mythologies. To call them Yogi, Rishi, Guru, or Avatar, therefore, is erroneous.

Savitri Era Religion will solve many problems of the world by its new ontology of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Savitri Era Party too spreads a new narrative.

Just noticed that Richard Hartz pronounces the t of Savitri as in tree. Is it really impossible for Westerners to call me ତୁଷାର and not ଟୁଷାର? Nobody knows more than him the value of mantra and how pronouncing the name Savitri, itself, in the right way, is profoundly significant!

As it's becoming more and more evident that it is impossible for people now to read a book like The Life Divine or delve into an epic like Savitri, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion (2006), is the most appropriate avenue.

I came in contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at eight in 1964 and The Mother passed away in 1973. I haven't seen her. However I had imbibed enough inspiration during those ten years which sustains me even today. I have been spreading their message via social media since 2005

Let there be no end

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era

Ushers in new thought

And fresh perspective

Toward freedom. 


No black & white

Shades of grey galore;

There are a thousand pegs

To hang a tale. 


Let a hundred flowers

Bloom and a hundred schools

Of thought contend! 

Let there be no end!


Let noble thoughts come

From all directions! 

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1987611024590311621?t=6EWx5m0E-QfrWgvm1rmgzg&s=19

Historically, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came together on March 29, 1914 in order to settle the confusion wrought in the previous century through Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, Theosophical Society, Ramakrishna Mission, etc. They also responded to Darwin, Marx, Freud, Einstein, et al.

Sri Aurobindo used to keep a diary for his spiritual practices which has been published as, Record of Yoga. But in his formulation of Integral yoga, he abandoned those methods. Savitri Era Religion intends to separate spirituality from many romantic or esoteric conceptions about it.

After a lifelong engagement with spirituality and yoga, Sri Aurobindo faced a serious challenge in his penultimate year. His correspondence with his close, Dilip Kumar Roy over the role of body has many interesting facets. He also tweaked the neat scheme of The Life Divine a bit.

Given that the kind of topics people are interested in here, reading and understanding the books of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is not possible. Savitri Era Party is an alternative. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the only solution for collaboration with evolution.

The first issue of Arya came out on August 15, 1914. Considering the profound nature of its content such a publication is unimaginable even today. Apart from The Life Divine, The Secret of the Veda, Isha Upanishad, & The Synthesis of Yoga were inaugurated.

incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

Yoga may be normal in the Ashram context, but in a social setting, it's not a very welcome affair. Both, family life and professional environment are against it, in a way. Reading, also, involves solitary engagement. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, serves as a convenient avenue.

Many here never forget to talk about revolutionaries, but I'm sure none has read this most important episode of India’s Freedom struggle. I don't know whether this has been covered by the recently made film. Delhi blasts are a good occasion to remember it.

incarnateword.in/other-authors/…

Good that some are toying with trying new icons in the political firmament. This has got some merit although the imagined ideological content may not be neat nor have fidelity. However, competitors are welcome as Savitri Era Party is game. The Future belongs to Sri Aurobindo alas! 

Integrating traditional knowledge with that of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is fraught with hazard. It's much more advisable to contemplate over what Sri Aurobindo says in his works and analyse how he has kneaded the ancient wisdom and brought out a well wrought ontological scheme.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't promise swift spiritual realisation or fulfilment of ambition. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo means slow transformation through the heat and light of their knowledge, love, and compassion. Following any other path is a sure road to confusion.

Unlike Integral Yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Savitri Era Religion is a sociological project with political ramifications. Coming together under its umbrella demands shedding common human weaknesses like selfishness and hypocrisy on a progressive basis, as All life is yoga.

While divergent views are there on whether to end inequality and exploitation through political means or market mechanism Savitri Era Party invokes the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. None of the above named two spheres are autonomous since evolution is at work nonstop.

Many top Indians were influenced by Sri Aurobindo after Independence of which no complete record is available. Accumulating history of Sri Aurobindo's legacy should be taken up by the young generation as many charlatans have been hogging the limelight instead of genuine devotees.

Sri Aurobindo's relevance has been nicely articulated in this video which would be good for students and youth for grasping complex ideas in an easy and relaxed manner. The teacher however forgot to mention that Sri Aurobindo was fully educated in England.

India has seen all kinds of ideologies, but nothing has worked to create good living conditions for its people. Pockets of prosperity in some cities is an illusion. Savitri Era Party believes that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for transforming the society.

The Life Divine was heralded on August 15, 1914, in the pages of the Arya, co-edited by Sri Aurobindo. Thus, there should be no confusion about why Lord Mountbatten chose August 15 for India's independence, which also marked ending of World War II in 1945.

incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

For most people here, criticising others is an addiction, but Savitri Era Party offers an alternative in addition. Not only for politcs, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide far superior material in the sphere of philosophy, psychology, sociology, education, poetry, and commentary.

That culture exerts an overwhelming influence on an individual is well known but science is increasingly recognising that the place where a person resides, his daily habits like diet etc can affect the functioning of his genetic mechanism so much so that it modifies his character. 

People like Prashant Kishor or Shashi Tharoor should understand that relying on human effort is not enough. Savitri Era Party is very much confident that worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo under Savitri Era Religion is the only way to transform politics by ushering in ethics.

Reading Sri Aurobindo's books has become easier due to search facility. Any keyword fetches scores of results with varieties of contexts. This is a good method for understanding preliminary concepts, scattered in various volumes. His references to Western authors are instructive.

In a multi-party democracy, a single party or alliance wins in the election, and captures power. That doesn't mean that other players have become irrelevant. Not winning any seat is not an indication of ideological defeat. Minor or feeble voices have the right to fight elections.

In almost all disciplines of Humanities, Sri Aurobindo has to offer something significant. Yet, Universities are avoiding his writings for a century now. Scholarly books don't quote him. Newspaper articles also fight shy of him. It is very difficult to understand this phenomenon.

Till Independence, only kings or queens were ruling different parts of India. There was no concept of people taking decisions. Feudal lords exploited people. Most were tyrants. Hence, all talk of a glorious past is bunkum. Trying to rectify historical errors is a futile exercise.

Although, I was born and brought up in a village in ଓଡିଶା Odisha, influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has helped me to get rid of traditional culture and religion. The effect of Nehruvian atmosphere cannot be denied too. The present dominance of Hindutva is anti-evolutionary.

Savitri Era Party steers clear of demographic and geopolitical issues. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for human unity and world peace. Their philosophy of Life Divine is futuristic and evolutionary. Worshipping them via Savitri Era Religion is the most convenient avenue for it.

If Nationalism means to love one's nation, then its present state, and not some imaginary past or future picture, should be loved. To love all its people, and not a certan section, is evident. Anything contrary can't be construed as Nationalism. It is surprising why this escapes!

She is the friend and guide

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

I know The Mother

Since 1964

She is the friend and guide

At every turn of life.


She came to show

Who is Sri Aurobindo

Who in turn identified her

To be the Divine Mother.


He and she

Are one consciousness

Who are always present

In their three poises.


Supreme Divine

Grace infinite.

A lot of debate is going on on Hinduism and my experience of 70 years tells me that it's all futile. I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 with exactly this in view. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for the future not only for India but the whole world. 

People are fond of blaming great men of the last two centuries, but it is due to their collective and cumulative efforts that today we have in India a nation of unparalleled diversity with unflinching determination for modernity. Such democratic negotiations are sure to flourish.

Tourism is said to be the Vitamin T and religion facilitates it to a great extent. Combined with festivals and rituals, it exerts an intoxicating effect on people which David Harvey highlighted once. Americans are complaining of being unaware of Sri Aurobindo but won't follow me.

Sir William Jones was instrumental in establishing The Asiatic Society on January 15, 1784. William Carey arrived on January 10, 1800. Thomas Babington Macaulay's Minute on Education appeared on February 2, 1835. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo brought out the Arya on August 15, 1914.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo avoided starting a new religion explicitly, but definitely created a new path. So nothing prevents a follower to look at them in a thoroughly religious manner and spread their message among fellow men just like what people of other religions do eagerly.

While writing a faithful account of that period is laudable, it would be perceptive to bear in mind the spiritual powers of Sri Aurobindo unlike his contemporaries. He had allied with Tilak since 1907 Surat Congress and his force is said to be there while writing of Gita Rahasya.

Recently @shanteehee and @lilastories made some uninformed and impressionistic remarks on Sri Aurobindo and his legacy. This shouldn't happen in the age of AI. His admirers and devotees are there around the world. @theashramCH should know that Sri Aurobindo wrote The Human Cycle.

Savitri Era Party has been raising its voice against Hindutva as well as Dynasty. It's also demanding abolition of reservations. No other political party in India has such an ideological combination. Drawing inspiration from evolutionary philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is trump card.

The Mother was in Puducherry and I got to know about her in my village in ଓଡିଶା Odisha as a child sixty years ago. ନବଜ୍ଯୋତି Navajyoti, a quarterly magazine published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram kept the flame alive. The weekly ପାଠଚକ୍ର Study Circle movement replicated Bhagabata Tungi.

Being an ancient civilisation କଳିଙ୍ଗ, Odisha has varieties of vibrant religious and philosophical traditions, but my faith in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had been steadfast. This is before I got to read their books with some seriousness or understood their philosophy to an extent.

Very unfortunate that many intellectuals are citing quotations as definitive views of Sri Aurobindo. This is a wrong and misleading practice. No single chapter or a book can be said to contain his final opinion. Not even a poem, or an epic. Astute scholarship needed to gauge him.

Just read that "a brief five-second pause can significantly reduce aggression during conflict," and remembered The Mother advising Stepping back. #SriAurobindo #IntegralYoga #SelfManagement

Can Rani Rashmoni be considered as his inspiration in this direction?

People would have been cured of their misconceptions easily had they cared to read my posts. I'm writing since 2005 and anyone searching Sri Aurobindo would definitely find my Savitri Era site. Domain knowledge is vital & I don't think anyone else can provide a better perspective. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is the basic principle of Savitri Era Religion. Sri Aurobindo describing the four powers of The Mother in The Synthesis of Yoga shortly after her final arrival in 1920

Anyone clubbing Vivekananda with Sri Aurobindo is sure to misguide.

Anyone suggesting that Sri Aurobindo promoted Hinduism is deluded.

Anyone hoping to mend, or reform, Hinduism by harnessing Sri Aurobindo is doing window dressing.

Anyone forgetting The Mother betrays stupidity.

You were Trump's fan, IIRC?

Most people are unaware of Sri Aurobindo's life history unlike his other contemporaries. His banishment from school text books and extracurricular activities has produced such ignorance about him. Savitri Era Religion, however, worships him & The Mother as the one Supreme Divine.

Before launching Savitri Era Religion two decades back, I had full one decade of experience in selling The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books. Canvassing for their philosophy and convincing varieties of strangers to buy at Delhi Book Fairs in Pragati Maidan gave me a lot of insights.

American resentment over Hinduism has triggered a lot of discussion and debate which certainly have much bearing in India. It's nothing new and can be traced back to Bengal Renaissance. However reference to Sri Aurobindo is a silver lining as Savitri Era Religion is the solution.

It's important to understand that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo used Hindu terminology so that their audience can identify and relate. They spoke high of certain persons just to make their disciples happy. Since they are the one Supreme Divine, many of their words need to be reread.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't take any responsibility in matters esoteric. Practice of yoga is a direct relationship between The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and the devotee. No intermediary or prescribed procedure is involved. The modality and dynamics is different for each individual.

Many may not be aware of Kant's Perpetual Peace proposing a federation of republics and international law to prevent war. Sri Aurobindo's #WorldUnion aims at inner fraternity

This platform is a fertile field for virtue signalling, but I'm yet to find anyone following a conscientious ideology. Most are driven by utilitarian motives. Savitri Era Religion imparts the purifying and refining influence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on our unruly psychology.

Ulrich Mohrhoff is a physicist who has been exploring the ramifications of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Marxists and Western scholars dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Americans, Russians, & Chinese dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Ambedkar, Periyar, Hindutva, & Congress followers dislike Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion is for those who disagree with the above. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo doesn't entail any ritual. Savitri Era Religion is, basically, for sociological, legal, and practical purpurses, but its essence is spirituality without any reliance on Brick and mortar. Besides, it doesn't impose any lifestyle restriction.

I have been combing the web for the last twenty years to keep myself abreast of studies relating to Sri Aurobindo. What I have noticed is that scholarly work has dried up. May be the themes have exhausted! But understanding his legacy is pregnant with stories. Authors are welcome! 

As President of Savitri Era Party (2007), my conviction is that all citizens are equal players in the game of democracy. Thus leaving politics in the hands of a measly section is anomalous. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can lead to electing honest people's representatives.

Superlatives or hyperboles are unavoidable while writing on Sri Aurobindo because he indeed belongs at the top. Still I stay conscious to avoid exaggeration in the matter of Integral yoga. Subjective experiences, not amenable to verification or replication, shouldn't be endorsed.

As multiple verifications or census are underway Savitri Era Party demands grant of official recognition for Savitri Era Religion so that devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are spared of various kinds of sociological embarrassment and duplicity in disclosing their true faith.

By somewhat ratifying the notion of Nation-soul what Sri Aurobindo intended is giving geographical, racial, religious, and linguistic units an identity and sense of purpose as instruments of evolution and emergence of which Development or Technology aren't the only external signs. 

So, it also becomes another echochamber? Where is independence or objectivity then?

Savitri Era Party is inspired by the Five Dreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under the umbrella of Savitri Era Religion is the best means of collaboration for #FiveDreams to take shape.

People are generally swayed either by crowd or by celebrities but right reading material can provide right perspective. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), and its sister Blogs, have excellent Archives spanning over twenty years. A Modi come Jaitley (2002).

Many people admire Sri Aurobindo but don't follow me. They have been so conditioned by their ecosystem and echochamber that different opinion is anathema to them. But such ostrich-like behaviour dwarfs intellect and produces a bonsai. Myths rule the roost.

orchidrose.blogspot.com/2025/11/ostric

Catching clever cause-and-effect patterns in current affairs is seen as brilliance or a mark of a genius but the real hand behind all that is evolution's. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of Integral Advaita awakens to an infallible intention guiding the course of history all the time.

Nice to hear, but you might not have added Sri Aurobindo's insights to your appreciation!

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are scattered worldwide but there is no formal organisation to represent them save Savitri Era Party (2007). All life is yoga and pondering over socio-political issues can't be excluded from it. Preventive measures needed to avoid conflicts.

Now that AI is eager to devour whatever is written, accumulating authentic information has become crucial.

Writings of Sri Aurobindo belong to different phases. Even within the same phase also there are lots of variations. Besides, there are unverified conversations. His full correspondences with the disciples are yet to be published. Thus caution should be maintained as to his views.

The first day of Sri Aurobindo at Chandannagar has many interesting details, but to piece it together from different sources is a difficult task. May be a faithful account is available in Bengali. I had read a good description of it, in Odia, in the magazine ନବପ୍ରକାଶ Navaprakash.

New books are promoted here and elsewhere regularly. But as Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005), my suggestion is to read some old and essential books. Mahayogi: Life, Sadhana, & Teachings of Sri Aurobindo by R.R. Diwakar is one such book.

The divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo got established on March 29, 1914

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Savitri Era Learning Forum: We need to expand our outreach selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/we-nee

This Blog is running since 2005. Apart from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's yoga philosophy, other streams of thought are also covered. It has over a dozen allied Blogs tended by Tusar Nath Mohapatra.

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Verbal restraint fosters inner tranquility selforum.blogspot.com/2025/10/verbal

As this Blog completes twenty years with nearly three thousand posts containing innumerable links and references to sites that have long vanished, it invites researchers to its archives. 

While your appreciation is genuine it's one part of the story. I founded Savitri Era Religion in 2006 which worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. savitriera.blogspot.com

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!

While democracy is a noble idea, getting votes from millions of strangers isn't an easy task. Further, outwitting the rivals is key. Thus the job of advertising or manipulating minds becomes central. In this sense, complaining about deception or misrepresentation is out of place.

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!

Agree. The dynamics of their yoga puts emphasis on willed psychological remolding. But while at many places, they blame the emotions, they also rely on the same emotions for psychic opening. This seems paradoxical! Larry Seidlitz has a good paper on this.

ipi.org.in/texts/ipyc/ipy

The idea is to build a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without the gate-keeping or hegemony of, or dependence on, any institution or individual. Savitri Era Religion also doesn't have any ritual or mythology. It doesn't prescribe any fixed system of practice.

After taking voluntary retirement from my job of a Scale I officer in the Head Office in Delhi of Punjab National Bank in 2000, instead of earning money I have been working for harmony. At 70 I have the satisfaction of providing an alternative ideology in the form of Savitri Era.

Whether noticed or not vigorous ideological churning is going on in the country. Although driven by politics and capturing power, appealing to the young generation and keeping pace with technological stride has become a challenge. Savitri Era Party holds Sri Aurobindo as supreme.

BJP and RSS are in power for more than eleven years but haven't been able to spell out their ideology or strategy clearly till now. It's fair to say that both the organisations are evolving and trying to win in the survival game but, their core impulsion being hatred, rot inside.

Although we worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, there should be no hesitation in critically examining what they have left behind in black and white. Savitri Era Religion & Savitri Era Party are more attuned to their love, grace, and compassion than words. 

When The Mother met Sri Aurobindo for the first time on March 29, 1914, in Puducherry, their divinity got established. Savitri Era Religion ensues from that, and everything prior or later are secondary. Thus, the story of gradual realisations should be taken with a pinch of salt.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1982456929189531786?t=dB0_PpHEbN9fd8JK26SAAw&s=19

Expressing our love, loyalty, and gratitude towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is our only weapon. The future is in their hands, as evolution is a slave of them. The hold of the old religions is slackening. Even, atheist philosophies are undergoing stir. #FiveDreams will triumph!

Current political situation doesn't encourage people to appreciate The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's contributions. Yet, many are gradually discovering who is the greatest poet and philosopher. But that recognition only is not enough. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is key.

It would be interesting to probe how far Rani Rashmoni was the real inspiration behind the evolution of Vivekananda.

Savitri Era Religion contends that the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are their property and are under Ashram's copyright. They are sacred and possess mantric power. The biblical proverb “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs" is relevant here.

My recent followers are Tara, Elsa, Ophelia, Barbara, Patricia, Maureen, Lillian, Mallie, Linda, Darlene, et al. It indicates that a great spiritual resurgence is blowing among American women!

Sri Aurobindo points out that the solution to all our problems is in discovering harmony, but the path to that is not clear. So, Savitri Era Party doesn't follow any fixed economic or social ideology. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo amounts to collaboration with evolution.

India's Rebirth: A selection from Sri Aurobindo's writings, talks and speeches, published in 1993, outside Ashram, has done maximum damage to the reputation of Sri Aurobindo. This is an example how stray quotations, without proper context, can be misleading and create prejudice.

Grokipedia page on Sri Aurobindo has two concluding sections, viz., Disputes Over Biographies and Interpretations and Posthumous Issues in Ashram and Auroville Governance. Only hints are provided there about which people of India, in general, are ignorant.

https://grokipedia.com/page/Sri_Aurobindo

Just noticed that the Grokipedia article on Sri Aurobindo has this following citation at 129. Although the article doesn't mention about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party, it's possible that independent observers will bring it to the public notice.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the preliminary step for understanding the purpose of our existence in the world. It also helps to analyse 20th century history and philosophy, in new light, since Savitri Era Religion ensues from March 29, 1914.

The principles of yoga and spirituality, as enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, may look quite firm but its texture changes in accordance with the personal situation of the devotee. Cultural and intellectual background imposes its own conditions instead of submitting fully.

Savitri Era Religion fosters an environment of freedom for the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without any institutional pressure or obligation. Absence of any kind of mythology or rituals is the biggest advantage. No system of initiation nor any requirement of some priest. 

Religion operates at several levels as its hold on personal, familial, social, political, economic, aesthetic, and intellectual domains is pervasive. Its appeal overrides other considerations totally irrationally. Savitri Era Religion seeks to establish rational approach in this.

When Words Bow: Linguistic Politeness in Classical Indian Thought by Dr. Jayashree Premkumar Shet appears to be an interesting study. There is a large number of handles on this platform who don't consider humility or politeness is a virtue. But Dharma demands otherwise as per it.

The Mother was in France and Sri Aurobindo in England but there was no contact. That sacred moment came when The Mother arrived in Puducherry and both met for the first time on March 29, 1914. A new story for the mankind began: Savitri Era Religion. A new hope and a new adventure! 

In the last century, Hinduism was never thought as a panacea for all human ills or the greatest of all religions although RSS existed since 1925. But the Ram temple movement created a lot of hubris coinciding with Hindutva reimagining India as a possible superpower or Vishwaguru.

Since I came in contact with the ideals of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in 1964, Hinduism has been repulsive to me. Senseless rituals and endless juvenile mythology are cause of perpetual irritation for me. But the aesthetic aspect keeps people bonded. Devotion is therapeutic, too.

This century has given rise to Hindutva intellectuals or RW. But I fail to understand the thrust of their arguments. There is no definite point where their history starts. There is no agreement on which texts are defining. Consensus is lacking on who actually is a Hindu. So on and so forth.

Take one simple example: Dharmic is good and Abrahamic is bad. I don't know who devised this simplistic formula, but the whole edifice of Hindutva scholarship stands on this premise. No matter, majority of the world's population are living under the latter umbrella for millennia!

However, Human Rights entitles all to be proud of own nation or religion. No quarrel with that. But modernity and education also enjoins to look at things rationally. Whataboutery that since Leftists have distorted history we have as much right do the same, isn't taking anywhere.

In the matter religion also nothing can be ascertained in an esoteric realm. So using it for mundane activities can only lead to mushrooming of idols and statues. Statutory matters have to be governed on, purely, secular basis. Thus pushing religion beyond its confines is futile.

I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006 for a clean break with Hinduism. Even without belonging to it, intellectuals in India can learn a lot by reading Sri Aurobindo's books. Everyone knows it but there's no shortcut. Visiting a nearby Sri Aurobindo Centre can teach many things.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1984152076356874382?t=o3SHENHA_wvOOKO8WNibUQ&s=19

Savitri Era Religion doesn't hold any text, ancient or modern, as fundamental. Even the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo form a Parliament of philosophies. Yoga is basically the journey of discovering that we are not disconnected at the first place. So the task is to begin.

Each text has its value. Even movie songs contain many nuggets of truth. Just as extracting the tender stalk from a blade of grass, as an Upanishad advises, separating ethical component from mythological aspect of various religious scriptures is important. incarnateword.in/cwsa/1/hindu-d

It was The Mother who came from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914 and took steps for establishment of Ashram in 1926. Her struggle for sustaining herself might look as difficult but Savitri Era Religion takes it as Lila. Also the present state of fragmentation among followers.

When I thought that I have secured a fairly good grip on various branches of Hindutva, a new stream of American Hindus has cropped up. Further, the recent comment by their VP has turbocharged latent sentiment on many fronts. It's not for nothing that Emerson thought high of RRMR!

What was triggered by Raja Ram Mohan Roy will surely reach its logical conclusion. In between, we see Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–91), Annie Besant (1847–1933), Margaret Elizabeth Noble (1867–1911), Madeleine Slade (1892–1982) apart from Mirra Alfassa (1878–1973), The Mother.

Although, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo refrained from starting any new religion and stressed on spirituality, I have provided a modern and rational alternative by launching Savitri Era Religion in 2006, since the dominant religions are in perpetual conflict.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2006/08/savitr

There is no gainsaying the fact that my antipathy against Hindutva prompted Savitri Era Religion. Neither The Mother & Sri Aurobindo nor their direct disciples had faced the menace of Hindutva. An assembled desktop arrived in our Shipra Riviera flat on February 21, 2005. Rest is...

There have been critics of RSS, within the Hindu fold, in the past, but Rao has taken it to the most vociferous level. And at a moment when they are at the peak of enjoying power. While his honesty of purpose can't be faulted, the mythology-driven Hindu cause is flawed ab initio.

Savitri Era Religion is a good alternative with worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. It's free of mythology and rituals. No initiation ceremony or any intermediary.

It's a question of discovering. Reading his works gradually creates such an impression. incarnateword.in/cwsa

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1984868856679268841?t=Ol1hSq8U9uIZYvKAqwtT6A&s=19

While Sri Aurobindo is often discussed here vis-à-vis the Veda, he is conspicuous by his absence at the Grokipedia page on Vedas.

That's great!

Apart from The Secret of the Veda, Hymns to the Mystic Fire and Vedic and Philological Studies are part of The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA). Besides, works of TV Kapali Sastri, V Madhusudan Reddy, MP Pandit, SP Singh, RL Kashyap, et al are there.

By the way, can I expect a page in my name or on Savitri Era Religion on which I'm writing since 2005? In addition to Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, I give a devotional interpretation of their philosophy of Integral yoga.

Many thanks for your encouragement and commitment towards authenticity. Savitri Era is our religion posted on Thursday, August 24, 2006 provides the basic rationale. There would be hundreds of posts thereafter at the blog and X which are easily searchable.

In S.P. Mittal vs. Union of India, 1983 (Auroville case), Court ruled that the teachings of Sri Aurobindo were a philosophy, not a religion. However, in his dissenting judgement, Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy opined that his devotees can start a new religion.

Thanks for the assurance and it would be nice if you can give a sense of by when it would materialise.
