Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

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.

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.

Asura can be construed as the secular

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

১৯৬৪ সালে আট বছর বয়সে আমি শ্রীমা এবং শ্রীঅরবিন্দের সংস্পর্শে আসি এবং ১৯৭৩ সালে শ্রীমা মারা যান। আমি তাকে দেখিনি। তবে সেই দশ বছরে আমি যথেষ্ট অনুপ্রেরণা গ্রহণ করেছি যা আজও আমাকে টিকিয়ে রাখে। ২০০৫ সাল থেকে আমি সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ার মাধ্যমে তাদের বার্তা ছড়িয়ে দিচ্ছি। তুষারনাথ মহাপাত্র

শ্রীঅরবিন্দ কর্তৃক প্রকাশিত বেদ চেতনার এক অভিযানের প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে এবং তাই শ্রীমা ও শ্রীঅরবিন্দের সমগ্র দর্শন ও যোগ প্রাচীন বৈদিক দৃষ্টিভঙ্গিকে একটি বস্তুগত রূপ দেওয়া ছাড়া আর কিছুই নয়। সাবিত্রীও অমরত্বের দিকে লক্ষ্য রাখে, যা মানুষের সর্বোচ্চ লক্ষ্য। - তুষারনাথ মহাপাত্র

শ্রীঅরবিন্দের দিব্য জীবন হল সর্বোচ্চ রাজনৈতিক লক্ষ্য এবং আধ্যাত্মিক দিকে সাবিত্রী একই লক্ষ্য। যেহেতু শ্রীমা এবং শ্রীঅরবিন্দের তত্ত্ববিদ্যা সমগ্র সৃষ্টির নিরবচ্ছিন্ন দেবত্বকে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করে, তাই এই লক্ষ্যে যেকোনো ধরণের স্বেচ্ছাসেবী সহযোগিতা যোগে পরিণত হয়। - তুষার নাথ মহাপাত্র

যোগ একটি খুব সাধারণ শব্দ হয়ে উঠেছে কিন্তু আমাদের ভাষায় এটি হল পূর্ণাঙ্গ যোগ। শ্রীমা ও শ্রী অরবিন্দের প্রতি ভালোবাসা এবং ভক্তি হল অপরিহার্য শর্ত। মনে রেখো এবং নিবেদন বলতে বোঝায় যে কোনও কাজ শুরু করার আগে মাকে স্মরণ করা এবং শেষ হলে তাকে তা অর্পণ করা। - তুষারনাথ মহাপাত্র

শ্রীঅরবিন্দের নামে কিছু প্রতিষ্ঠানের নামকরণের মাধ্যমে তিনি স্থায়ীভাবে ঋষি অরবিন্দ হিসেবে পরিচিত হয়েছেন। এটি তাঁর জন্য এক ধরণের কারাগার হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। মানুষ তাঁকে পরম প্রভু হিসেবে গ্রহণ করতে প্রস্তুত নয়। শ্রীমা সম্পর্কে কেউ জানে না। সাবিত্রী ইরা ধর্ম এই প্রতিরোধ সরাতে চায়।

আমি অতীতে বেশ কয়েকবার লিখেছি যে বিবেকানন্দের সাথে শ্রীঅরবিন্দের নাম উল্লেখ করা সম্পূর্ণ অপ্রয়োজনীয়। তারা দুজনেই ভিন্ন ভিন্ন সময়ে এসেছিলেন, এবং আদর্শগতভাবে বেশ আলাদা। যারা মনে করেন যে শ্রীঅরবিন্দ হিন্দু ধর্মের জন্য কাজ করেছিলেন, তারা ভুল। তিনি হিন্দুত্বের প্রতিষ্ঠাতা ছিলেন না।

প্রীঅরবিদ্দের পৈতৃক বাসভূমি

শ্রীঅরবিন্দের বাংলা ত্যাগ মানুষকে হতাশ করেছিল। রবীন্দ্রনাথের ঘরে বাইরে উপন্যাসটি ঘটনাক্রমের একটি নেতিবাচক চিত্র তুলে ধরেছিল। এর ফলে শ্রীঅরবিন্দের দার্শনিক ও আধ্যাত্মিক কৃতিত্ব অনুকূলভাবে স্বীকৃত হয়নি। এমনকি, শ্রীঅরবিন্দের কাব্যিক রচনাও রবীন্দ্রনাথের তুলনায় কখনও প্রশংসা পায় না।

যদিও নেতাজি সুভাষ শ্রীঅরবিন্দকে তাঁর অনুপ্রেরণার উৎস বলে স্বীকার করেছিলেন, তবুও শ্রীঅরবিন্দের আধ্যাত্মিক মোড় তিনি গ্রহণ করেননি। দ্বিতীয়ত, শ্রীঅরবিন্দও হিটলারের সাথে তার সম্পর্ককে অনুমোদন করেননি। এই কারণে, নেতাজির সমর্থকরা শ্রীঅরবিন্দকে যেকোনো ধরণের স্বীকৃতি দেওয়ার বিরুদ্ধে।

১৮৯৩ সালে ইংল্যান্ড থেকে ফিরে আসার পর শ্রীঅরবিন্দ কংগ্রেসের বিরুদ্ধে লিখেছিলেন। এরপর ১৯০৭ সালে সুরাটে কংগ্রেস বিভক্তিতে তাঁর গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা ছিল। এই কারণেই স্বাধীনতার পর কংগ্রেস সরকার শ্রীঅরবিন্দের উপর প্রতিশোধ নিয়ে তাকে স্কুলকলেজের পাঠ্যক্রম থেকে বাদ দেয়। তুষারনাথ মহাপাত্র

শ্রীঅরবিন্দ নিজস্ব নিয়ম ভঙ্গ করে রবীন্দ্রনাথের সাথে দেখা করেছিলেন কিন্তু গান্ধীর সাথে দেখা করতে অস্বীকৃতি জানিয়েছিলেন। এর আগে তিনি গান্ধীর বিরুদ্ধে চিত্তরঞ্জন দাসের স্বরাজ্য পার্টিকে সমর্থন করেছিলেন। তিনি ক্রিপসের প্রস্তাব গ্রহণের জন্য আগ্রহী ছিলেন কিন্তু গান্ধী তাতে বাধা দেন।

১৯১৪ সালে শ্রীঅরবিন্দের সাথে প্রথম সাক্ষাতের পর শ্রীমা তাঁর প্রতি পরম শ্রদ্ধা প্রদর্শন করেছিলেন। পরবর্তীতে শ্রীঅরবিন্দ তাঁকে দিব্য জননী হিসেবেও চিহ্নিত করেছিলেন। উভয়ই এক দিব্যচেতনা। তাদের ভক্তরা সারা বিশ্বে ছড়িয়ে ছিটিয়ে আছেন। ২০০৬ সালে আমি এর নাম দিয়েছিলাম সাবিত্রী ইরা ধর্ম।

অন্যান্য ধর্মের সাথে সাবিত্রী ইরা ধর্মের কোন সম্পর্ক নেই। এই আধুনিক যুক্তিবাদী ধর্ম পৌরাণিক কাহিনী এবং আচার-অনুষ্ঠান থেকে মুক্ত। শ্রীমা ও শ্রীঅরবিন্দের প্রতি ভালোবাসা ও ভক্তি হল অপরিহার্য শর্ত। সাবিত্রী হল শ্রীঅরবিন্দ রচিত একটি মহাকাব্য যা মৃত্যুকে জয় করার আকাঙ্ক্ষা প্রকাশ করে।

Did he say the whole thing or a part?

সাবিত্রী ইরা পার্টি দৃঢ়ভাবে বিশ্বাস করে যে বিশ্ব ১৪ আগস্ট, ১৯৪৭ তারিখে প্রচারিত শ্রীঅরবিন্দের পাঁচটি স্বপ্নের ইশতেহারের বাস্তবায়নের দিকে এগিয়ে চলেছে। ভারতের বর্তমান রাজনৈতিক পরিস্থিতি খুব একটা অনুকূল নয় তবে সিদ্ধান্তমূলক পরিবর্তন প্রত্যাশিত। সকলেরই এর জন্য আকাঙ্ক্ষা করা উচিত।

A misconception prevails that Auroville has no religion although Matrimandir with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's symbols is right at the centre of it. Founded by The Mother, it represents an aspiration for Vedic ideal of Life Divine and so it's erroneous to look upon it as utopian.

Apart from the castes or ethnic groups, there is a district-level nationalism in most States of India. Specific dialect and culture along with historical associations create such distinct identities. Thus differences among people are myriad. Savitri Era Religion will forge unity.

Since narrative war is a continuous affair and my role has been to present an alternative view based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy, I play down the spiritual element which is subjective or esoteric in favour of a more practical aspect like devotion and surrender to them.

Appreciating Sri Aurobindo's poetry and his literary criticsm can be heady especially if one is a bit spiritually inclined. The contrast between him and the British poets on the one hand and the poets after him in India on the other is quite conspicuous. However, he can't be limited only to it. 

Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is a long term affair and there's no single rule or route. It's their grace that leads one along. Tons of allusions come up on the way for lateral learning. His own work Heraclitus can be a good starting point while llion tells of Homer.

No one remembers him today, but V.K. Krishna Menon was a very prominent figure in our childhood. Similarly, T.T. Krishnamachari was well known. V.R. Krishna Iyer, of course, remains relevant for his radical views. J. Krishnamurti used to be a dominant influence on many seekers.

This is one way of looking at it and can't be taken as a very dependable exercise. My grounding in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy doesn't fit in. It's entirely different. So, the overall ontology matters. Comparing both the streams can reveal interesting facets of mind.

Sri Aurobindo makes a distinction between life and heart; and mind and intellect. All the four are vital but have different functions as Asura can be construed as the secular.

[দাও, মাতঃ, প্রাণে মনে অসুরের শক্তি, অসুরের উদ্যম, দাও, মাতঃ, হৃদয়ে বুদ্ধিতে দেবের চরিত্র, দেবের জ্ঞান]

The most famous novel in Odia is ଅମାବାସ୍ଯାର ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର Amabasyara Chandra which is inspired by Chitralekha. You can read its translation and enjoy its timeless charm.

Sri Aurobindo was not planted by the Missionaries

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Savitri Era Religion is simple:

Worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. 

Read a page or two from any of their books, preferably Savitri. 

Try to remember them before and after what you do with an attitude surrender. 

There's a grain of truth in the criticism that Savitri Era Religion is a Semitic one due to its Messianic character apart from The Mother's Jewish ancestry. But to claim that Sri Aurobindo was planted by the Missionaries is pure bunkum. However the Vedic impulsion is crucial too.

Radiant means Savitri. Invoking the Blessings by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo!

Universities are responsible for evaluating knowledge but they have been ignoring Sri Aurobindo till now. However, devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are acquiring proficiency in their philosophy and poetry through self-effort. Caution against Hindutva chauvinism is required.

As Sri Aurobindo provided psychological and symbolic meanings to various words and names, the earlier interpretation of the Veda became redundant. The mythological narratives too lost literal sense. People in India are yet to accept this simple truth except Savitri Era Religion.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1942251748556759292?t=e8CfVEbosTfxdVDj3Li6bA&s=19

Savitri Era Religion saves from mythology, rituals, & superstition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stress on psychological refinement for being right instruments for evolutionary adventure of consciousness. But it's possible only through their grace. Hence worshipping them essential.

That's true but my post is in the specific context of religious and political exploitation of mythology.

Just like English is indispensable because of Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, Hindi is indispensable because of Rafi's songs. But even after almost lifelong association with it, I can't speak correct Hindi due to the gender problem. Therefore, Odia is the fit candidate as link language.

It's important to stress on the central ideas of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo instead of the peripheral matters. Comments and observations by them on the then geopolitical goings on shouldn't be treated as true for ever. For the picture of the future can be drastically different.

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been highlighting how The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's thought is passing through difficult times due to the prevalence of Hindutva. Savitri Era Religion (2006) provides the best option for not to remain chained by mythology and rituals of past religions.

It seems that Rao Smriti will come out in the near future which will provide rigorous codification vis-à-vis Hinduism. This task was waiting for two thousand years and it's good that something worthwhile is being attempted by a learned person. Let's hope that it supercedes Manu's! 

Believing in the philosophy that everything is permeated by the Divine is a fundamental facet of Integral yoga. That the evolution is on and events are reflection of its intention is also an essential element. No doubt a deterministic or fatalistic ethos oozes but that's how it's.

All life is yoga certainly encompasses material achievements and all utilitarian instincts but the very meaning and intention sown into one's life should be the guiding factor. This choice of the Psychic Being is a very important aspect of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't insist on too much philosophy or yoga. It also prefers avoiding being over ambitious about spiritual progress or sadhana. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings should be helpful for awareness and inspiration. The rest needs to be left to their grace.

Difficulty of reading and understanding Sri Aurobindo's books deter many people. Believing in their complex metaphysics and incredible predictions too becomes challenging for many. Yoga and intricate psychology dissuade most from the path. Savitri Era Religion is the best option.

The Constitution of India has facilitated an Imperial style of functioning by the Prime Minister as exemplified by the current incumbent. Technology enabled communication is being exploited for silencing people and promoting sycophancy. Sovereignty to States is the only solution.

Savitri represents the human aspiration for Immortality. This Vedic imperative has been set into motion by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through their combined spiritual powers. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is necessary for collaboration with the Earth's consciousness.

Many devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were supporters of Congress party in the last century. In the same fashion, most are ardent champions of Hindutva, now who support BJP and Modi. This is, partly, because of a nationalistic fervor but its anti-evolutionary.

Sure. What you say is very much a part of the dominant narrative. But I don't believe in it.

Supposing that the vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is in consonance with evolution, anything contrary would be anti-evolutionary. Hindutva has multiple elements of such nature. Please visit savitriera.blogspot.com which has an archive spanning over the last twenty years.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772–1833) is aptly admired for his epochal contributions in social, political, and religious fields. He took advantage of his times by collaborating with the British resulting in multifarious gains for the country and spurred immense intellectual fermentation.

This is Krishna Heights, our Apartment complex in Authpur under Bhatpara Municipality, West Bengal. While Shyamnagar Railway station is 2km away, Ferry ghat takes to Mankundu from where places associated with Sri Aurobindo like Chandannagar, Konnagar, or Uttarpara can be visited.

I was present when Anand Vihar Terminal was inaugurated by the then Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee along with Sandeep Dikshit in 2009. Later on, a weekly train was introduced to Haldia and I visited it in 2016. After several trips to different parts of the State, I landed here.

Connecting with common people remains a challenge

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Indian philosophy has hundreds of ancient texts in Sanskrit along with numerous commentaries on them often with conflicting viewpoints. They are certainly confusing for the modern mind. Reading the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, though difficult, is far more safe and sound.

By establishing an Ashram, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo lend themselves to Anthropological scrutiny. From Rishabhchand to Prasad sisters, numerous case studies can be of academic interest for understanding sociological dimensions of Yoga and self-abnegation.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2015/09/geneal…

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.

Savitri Era Religion is for the whole world. Anyone who loves The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is eligible as a member. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine without any connection with old religions is the minimum condition. It's also, completely, free from mythology and rituals.

Are you conversant with the history of Odisha? How authentic are the popular narratives relating to Kharabela or Kalinga war, etc.?

There are doubts that the War was a fiction. Inscriptions are self-promotion!

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1944440169807110414?t=1D-OaG6ScwUmWvvsk8rEbw&s=19

Mobile phones have transformed personal lives as well as society. But people are not content with available Content. The ancient canons of aesthetics seem to have become outdated. But dissatisfaction is not due to the nature of Content. It's because of the downcast consciousness.

Savitri Era Religion may take this route.

[It is a truism that whenever a new religion is founded, its founder and followers not only draw upon the resources of the pre-existing religion but also usurp, nay destroy and convert, the followers and places of worship of the latter.]

Thanks for intimating. But I'm simply the reporter of a process which is underway since March 29, 1914. You should also study the phenomenon instead of opting for some echochamber. These developments are of fascinating academic interest too. So, what's the hurry? All the best!

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1944796297535578556?t=vqzb20FYPK3vtXsIzKH_Fw&s=19

I have read many books explaining the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine, but how it is connected with his revelations in The Secret of the Veda is rarely touched. Similarly, his socio-political vision as expounded in The Human Cycle, etc. is described independently.

The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo informs that different terms and names have symbolic senses and hence it can be deduced that religious rituals are meaningless. This basically is the genesis of Savitri Era Religion with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Most people are aware of Sri Aurobindo as a Freedom fighter and a spiritual guru but his accomplishments as a great poet or philosopher is rarely appreciated. His contributions to political theory as well as literary criticism too are immensely insightful.

incarnateword.in/cwsa

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met each other on March 29, 1914. They decided to start a monthly philosophical journal which came out on August 15, 1914. It was Sri Aurobindo's birth anniversary. It's not without significance that India achieved Independence on another anniversary. 

It seems that Rao Smriti will come out in the near future which will provide rigorous codification vis-à-vis Hinduism. This task was waiting for two thousand years and it's good that something worthwhile is being attempted by a learned person. Let's hope that it supercedes Manu's! 

Let's pray to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for inspiring the people of this nation to avoid Ayurveda, Astrology, and Mythology so that scientific spirit is inculcated. Similarly, valuing Democracy, Modernity, and Human Rights is also essential for citizens.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/25/the-co…

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo made many predictions like descent of the Supramental consciousness, advent of a new race, or the possibility of physical Immortality but none of these is India-centric. They are surely Vedic in origin but have nothing to do with Hindutva, BJP, or Modi.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written volumes after volumes on yoga and spirituality but Savitri Era Religion avoids promising anything definite on this score. It's for the devotee to test. Similarly, it doesn't insist on any of their social or political prediction coming true.

Savitri Era Party is inspired by the #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947. Current political situation is bad, and the only way for its rectification is to follow The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. No other political party has any clue as to how to lift the country.

Earlier, Sadhaks from Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry were invited by local Centres for meetings, seminars, or conferences. Now, there are well read scholars everywhere for explaining The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. But connecting with common people remains a challenge.

Believing in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is collaboration with the evolution

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Thanks for telling something so boldly which Sri Aurobindo had very clearly indicated. Hope, you focus on more insights of Sri Aurobindo instead of wasting your time and energy in criticising RSS.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1704202972031504748?t=bHhAp4Xj5OuF0wbiXr5sGw&s=19

Savitri Era Religion is a modern alternative to mythology, rituals, and superstition. Believing in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is an essential feature which can be considered as a form of practice as well as it amounts to collaboration with the evolution.

Although nothing much beyond a symbolic mention Sri Aurobindo appearing in the school text books is a step in the right direction. Appreciation for him at the mass level replacing earlier great men can generate a vast amount of conducive vibration for collaboration with evolution

Savitri Era Party believes that people have been studying loads of trash in the name of history, akin to mythology. So, changes in the textbooks should be appreciated with the condition that rigorous academic scrutiny and debate continue in an environment of freedom and fairness.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1946537067300753598?t=qPc9N_qtgueCcAPeEUtxAA&s=19

Savitri Era Party is of the opinion that only the main language of the State should be taught in the schools apart from English as international. There should be no compromise on this. All other languages should be left to be learnt voluntarily or at the college level, if needed.

It's good that #SriAurobindo has been spared of the august company. Sri Aurobindo's views are certainly disruptive but most aren't aware of it.

[धर्म का लोक जीवन में महत्व समझने के लिए दुर्खेम, बाबा साहब, मार्क्स, विवेकानंद और वेबर को पढ़ें। राधाकमल मुखर्जी भी महत्वपूर्ण हैं। - DM]

As Modi is marching towards the end of his tenure, it's important to ruminate over his contributions. He brought theatrics to the dynamics of democracy which was needed as a contrast to his predecessor. The Media, including Social media, too have undergone drastic transformation.

There can be different personal opinions but consulting Sri Aurobindo, his contemporary, on this matter can lend gravitas.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1946944726466212044?t=xd46zltMtZxkTXSXqkAVFQ&s=19

Ascendancy of Hindutva has transformed the Indian political space.

1) It fought against Congress and Nehruvian ecosystem,

2) Resisted alleged appeasement of Muslims,

3) Protested against conversion by Christians.

4) Defied Marxist history, &

5) Rebelled against Western narrative.

Electoral arithmetic forced many political parties to rely on Muslims. Hindutva confronted this anomaly head-on. It's in power for many years, now, but suffers from lack of intellectual bulwark. Past glory or ancient texts won't be of help for future. Engaging with theory needed.

Modi in power has many other factors than simply Hindutva. Many detractors accuse him of sabotaging the Hindu cause. His soft corner for social justice movement is quite evident. Unlike Hindutva, he leaves no opportunity to show his respect towards Gandhi.

x.com/NathTusar/stat…

Dhankhar had insulted the judiciary and today he was insulted by one Minister and had to resign. The sword of 75 years is also hanging over the heads of many. 

On the whole Hindutva as an ideology has no future as its appeal can't tackle the vastness and diversity of the country.

Prakash Karat asked Somnath Chatterjee to resign but he refused to yield. Jagdeep Dhankhar has been made to resign in a similar fashion. But this is undemocratic and against the Constitution. Various institutions have been conceived which must be deemed as above the party diktat.

https://x.com/SavitriEra/status/1947323489456963893?t=OHI_9vleXI3r44W3plzv7A&s=19

Savitri Era Religion is the most suitable alternative for the modern generation. Free from mythology and rituals it doesn't insist on any lifestyle stipulation. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and reading their books at times is the only condition. 

Despite its opposition to Hindutva and Modi Savitri Era Party maintains that the evolutionary intention should run its full course. Modi rule has many positive sides and has resisted hardcore hawks but fundamentally it's anti-evolutionary. The nation will recognise Sri Aurobindo.

Dr. Joshua Thangaraj Gnanasekar has authored an excellent paper titled, Biblical Nationalism and the Making of Modern India: A Historical and Ideological Inquiry, based on the works of Dr. Vishal Mangalwadi. It refutes Nehruvian secularism to exhibit how the Bible is the source.

Jagaddal Railway station is yet to attain its full growth since many trains skip it. But one can enjoy walking on the lonely platforms.

Constitution of India needs to be freed from all provisions relating to castes and religions. Only then equality among citizens can be expected. But granting Sovereignty to the States on the basis of languages is an urgency which will lead to #WorldUnion as seen by Sri Aurobindo.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry came into being in 1926 which grew with more and more disciples joining in. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written extensively to guide them in the path of yoga. Savitri Era Religion however is more oriented towards love, devotion, and surrender.

Political parties have forgotten that democracy is for the people and all their affairs need to be transparent. Their strategies and priorities should be debated threadbare so that different sections of people contribute to them. Every decision should be explained to the public.

The Dhankar issue is not irrelevant. This signifies the core malady of Indian polity. The Constitution has lots of checks and balances and top institutions shouldn't be dealt with in such summary manner. It's not the person alone but the chair and the prestige of the whole nation. 

The Govt must confess that it has some hand in the sudden resignation of the Vice President. It should apologise for the false reason and misleading the public. The public has a right to know the real reason for easing him out. Govt has the right to cite sufficient justifications. 

Dhankar had objected to the judiciary setting time limits for holding the bills. But now it is also essential for the judiciary to fix reasonable time gaps between work and resignation, especially for top designations. It's a pity that Constitution is given such shabby treatment.

Bengal Renaissance and Sri Aurobindo are indebted to Christian legacy

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is unique and unprecedented, and hence it's erroneous to explain them or their thought in terms of old mythologies or philosophical doctrines. It's anomalous too to compare them with their contemporaries or other great names.

The philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is absolutely new and no one can understand it without reading his books in original. His prose is difficult and the concepts remote. Even then, reading with some persistence yields results. No intermediary is required.

Link incarnateword.in/cwsa

Internet gave access to unlimited sources of knowledge and I started posting relevant reading material & links at selforum.blogspot.com in 2005. With my good grasp on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings, I also started recording my own observations at savitriera.blogspot.com.

Since Meditation and Wellbeing have become commercialised, Savitri Era Religion refrains from promising spiritual realisation or mystical experiences. Devotees are encouraged to establish a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through love, devotion, and surrender.

Collected Works of Nolini Kanta Gupta are now available online, in an independent site. A Century’s Salutation to Sri Aurobindo provides a profound estimate of the life and work of Sri Aurobindo. Those who find Sri Aurobindo difficult may shift to Nolini.

Modernity privileges Enlightenment values but at many points religion overrides education leading to irrationality. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, is a composite dispensation comprising best of philosophy and a captivating religion.

By opposing all other parties, Savitri Era Party pushes its own ideology and narrative tethered to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The country is suffering due to anti-evolutionary policies as people are falling prey to vicious identity politics. I am disseminating this since 2007.

Although, Fifth Pay Commission in 1997 marks the beginning of Indian prosperity, Yashwant Sinha increasing deduction of interest on self-occupied property from 30K to 75K in his 1999-2000 Budget was a daring step for propelling India's growth story. He also gifted me VRS in 2000.

During 2021 to 2022, I was enjoying the hospitality of one hospital after another. Thus I missed many things.

[many-voiced, multiple-perspective narrative... shaking literature free of ‘single camera’ view... Perhaps the 20th century really began in 1922.]

Paucity of genuine scholars on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform is forcing those who love conversation to grapple with @grok. But AI generated prose can mislead in many ways due to limited access to authentic info and experience. Possibility of slants are always there.

Texts explore metaphysical dimensions but the practice part is under-reported. Round-the-year devotional activities in Odisha, for instance, are barely noticed. Scholarly analysis of their sociological as well as religious aspects have never been attempted. 

People assume that they can be taught to become something or they were shaped by a certain books, etc. But Savitri Era narrative believes in the other way round (TOWR). Each person grows into what his or her Psychic Being opts for in terms of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's thought.

Although I became acquainted with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in the Primary school, serious engagement happened during the College days when Centenary celebrations were on. Later I met Niranjan Mohanty, an ardent devotee at Sundargarh and was drawn into Study Circle organisation.

Mythology may have many uses, be it Sudhir Kakar or Devdutt Pattanaik, but Savitri Era Religion is against giving it a new lease of life. To assume that Indians have an inherent identity with mythological characters is nothing but a figment of imagination.

Religious discourses are common in India because of which people feel saturated as far as metaphysics or cosmology are concerned. Reading a few pages from Vivekananda turns them experts on spirituality. Thereafter, what's the necessity of reading Sri Aurobindo's interpretations?

Being born and brought up in an Odisha village, I understand the value of modernity and liberalism. Bengal Renaissance and Sri Aurobindo are indebted to Christian legacy and the Constitution too is based on Biblical ideals. Savitri Era Party steers clear of mythology and rituals.

Savitri Era Religion, as an alternative to all old belief systems, worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises. Understanding their philosophy and practice of yoga etc. should be taken up voluntarily by the devotees.

It's important for scholars and academics to be intellectually honest. It's always possible that there's a chasm between their professional work and personal beliefs. They need to be stated clearly. Peter Heehs, for instance, explains his methodology clearly but own views opaque.

There's an impression that The Mother's writings are simple and easy to understand. This may be partially true but one should be prepared to be bombarded with disruptive and revolutionary ideas within a couple of paragraphs. Sri Aurobindo would tell tacitly but her way is direct.

Although Congress has national presence, its family-owned structure can never attract people. BJP seems to have exhausted all its ammunitions. That leaves AAP as the lone contender for the future. But Sri Aurobindo might prove to be a more powerful force than any Arvind Kejriwal.

Our task is love, devotion, and surrender

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

All admirers, devotees, or followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are fortunate to have come in contact with them. But choosing to be prisoners of anti-evolutionary narratives amounts to wasting that opportunity. Savitri Era Party encourages intellectual culture for right steps.

Appreciating The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through their books may take decades but Savitri Era Religion is the secure route to access their greatness. Even, visiting Centres at times may feel repelling but Savitri Era Religion demands no rituals or methods of practice. One is free.

It's easy to be drawn into any faction given the multiple identity ghettoes in our country. Savitri Era Religion is also an identity based fraternity, but believes in universality and human unity. Savitri Era Party respects diversity and democratic route for resolving conflicts.

If Govt. can't manage temples, then why should it manage schools or colleges; or hospitals, for that matter? Administration is brick and mortar. Religion is a much broader concept than mere temples. Focusing on that is the real task. Auroville was private but Govt. took it over.

I understand the issue and wholly sympathise with your argument and demand. In fact I'm also demanding the same for Auroville. Churches and mosques have been outside Govt control but temples are large in number and unless a viable management model develops conflicts will mushroom

Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best option in the modern environment. It is free from mythology and rituals and seeks to collaborate with Earth's consciousness for descent of the Supramental light and force as per evolutionary journey.

True, but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent evolutionary power capable of transformation of human nature. Collaborating with that is the task. #Grok can help you further.

Current generation of Hindutva intellectuals are products of the temple movement where the rise was easy. Now they find that reading Sri Aurobindo is essential for their credibility. It's a difficult job and laid with interpretational mines. The presence of The Mother stymies too. 

History like mathematics has a very limited use in life but news and current affairs impose too much of it on people. Historical analysis is posed as crucial but the truth is that events rarely occur in the old format. Evolution is amazingly creative; expecting newness is a must.

An incomplete commentary on Isha Upanishad written around 1902 marks the beginning of The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo. Several other drafts are also available at incarnateword.in/cwsa/17

The published version can be accessed at incarnateword.in/cwsa/21 and incarnateword.in/cwsa/22.

When Book Two of The Life Divine was published in 1940 Sri Aurobindo included many new chapters by discarding old ones. incarnateword.in/cwsa/22 

In the last two chapters one can find the highest aspiration and vision for man as delineated by a mature philosopher who left in 1950.

Agreed that there hasn't been any "noticeable" confirmation of Divine Life as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo in the final chapter of The Life Divine. There appears to be no reason why if we sincerely hope for something won’t bear fruit. It is a therapy of hope, Hopeopathy, let’s say!

The Life Divine is generally considered a book of philosophy but it contains enormous insights on psychology as well as yoga. Further, it's also the sublimest expression of sociology. From ontological view too, it sets out the secrets of physics and biology. Poetry isn't missing.

The Life Divine constitutes the greatest Manifesto for the mankind. Reading it amounts to prayer for fulfilment of the prophecy it proclaims. Sri Aurobindo assures that the descent of the Supramental consciousness is an evolutionary inevitability. Surrender to The Mother is key.

It's interesting to compare the last three Arya chapters with the last two chapters of The Life Divine.

incarnateword.in/arya/05/the-ne…

This also exhibits the unwavering faith and certitude of Sri Aurobindo in his basic philosophical thesis even after two decades.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/summar…

A democratically elected Govt is the highest ideal in social and political thought and hence its actions and priorities can't be faulted. Citizens are well within their rights to demand change of policies but the Govt has its own compulsion of building consensus within the party.

Social media has empowered individuals to have their say but respecting democratic ethos is most important. Asking present Govt to rectify all errors of the past is absurd. Representing an interest group requires building an organisation. Otherwise, lone voices are empty vessels.

No Prime Minister had performed the kind of dextrous tightrope walking that Modi does in the full glare of Social media. Myriad chaotic and cacophonic narratives targeting disparate constituencies exemplify democratic polyphony. Repealing the farm laws is his greatest achievement. 

Students' Prayer forms one of the defining dictums of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. The inherent aspiration in it dovetails into a resolve, but discerning what's tainted with the past and which beacon of light beckons towards the future warrants dispassion and goodwill.

Divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the fundamental aspect of Savitri Era Religion which the outside world can never understand or accept. It is for the devotees to express that to let others know. It's not for nothing that major religions are spending so much on publicity.

Outsiders are always eager to compare The Mother & Sri Aurobindo with others, but it's a fruitless exercise. Their Divine Manifestation is unique and unprecedented. But even their intellectual output is lightyears ahead. No man has ever imagined what The Life Divine proclaims.

The Mother discouraged involvement in active politics in the Ashram, and that gives the wrong impression that Sri Aurobindo was against politics. In fact, both The Human Cycle and The Life Divine deal with collective affairs. Savitri Era Party aims at #FiveDreams and #WorldUnion.

The Bourgeois and the Samurai by Sri Aurobindo is also a good analysis in this context.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/7/the-bou…

Direct disciples in the Ashram were responsible for dissemination of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy in a scholarly manner. Later, some University professors took it up for writing books and articles among whom Sisir Kumar Maitra (1887-1963), BHU was a pioneer.

Indra Sen (1903-1994) is famous for his book Integral Psychology. He had attended Heidegger's lectures and met Jung. He had first visited Puducherry with Surendranath Jauhar as a tourist but later became a devotee and left Delhi University to settle there.

Savitri Era Party has been demanding:

1) Abolition of Reservations

2) Inclusion of Sri Aurobindo in University syllabus

3) Lifting of ban on The Lives of Sri Aurobindo by Peter Heehs

4) Returning Auroville back to the devotees

5) Granting Sovereignty to the States for #WorldUnion

The trap of current affairs shouldn't delude us. Savitri Era Religion is open to all those who accept and worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. As devotees our task is love, devotion, and surrender. How the future evolution unfolds is their responsibility.

Based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's vision, Savitri Era Party maintains a valiant stand that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary. It's also against Congress due to its family ownership. Reservations should be abolished. Beyond this it's difficult to speculate on geopolitical matters.

Savitri Era: It's not proper to issue certificates for followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/06/its-no…

The past can't be a guide to the future. Evolution is on and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo predict revolutionary changes through descent of the Supramental consciousness. Following them with love, loyalty, and surrender is the right manner of collaboration with Earth consciousness.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent the whole humanity. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is a necessary condition for effective progress in Integral yoga. Their Integral philosophy surpasses all previous formulations by accommodating the scientific theory of evolution.

According to Sri Aurobindo, Go denotes light or knowledge. Many words like gaveshana, gomati, golaka, gosthi, gopi, gotra, godana, etc. can be interpreted accordingly.

Indira Gandhi represents Dynasty which distorted Indian democracy. She was responsible for destroying many institutions enshrined in the Constitution. JP movement was a great national resurgence with evolutionary significance. VP Singh too reflected the same spirit. AAP let down.

India got Independence on Sri Aurobindo's birthday and the history till now covers many significant churnings. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo assure that the world is moving towards Harmony. Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party are alternative avenues for following them.

Future Shock and subsequent books had tremendous impact half a century back. Since then exponential changes have taken place in various spheres. The predictions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, haven't lost value. It has rather become all the more important to follow them.

Savitri Era Party is not a part of any bloc or parivar. Inspired by the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it's the only party which opposes both BJP and the Congress. It demands granting of Sovereignty to the States in a phased manner so that #WorldUnion emerges in India.

Chronologically, Sri Aurobindo met The Mother for the first time or knew about her only after coming to Puducherry. That means when his role in the Freedom struggle was pretty much over. But interestingly, his political period was centred around the idea of country as the mother.

The Lives of Sri Aurobindo (2008) and The Mother : A Life of Sri Aurobindo's Spiritual Collaborator (2025) by Peter Heehs provide many biographical details which aren't available elsewhere. But an authentic book is yet to be written on their religious significance and its legacy.

One may or may not believe in the Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, but thousands of people worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is a fact. Savitri Era Party demands that Savitri Era Religion is accorded legal recognition as a new religion founded in 2006.

Savitri Era Religion can be considered as more of an activity in physics or biology than mere pure religion since it is concerned with evolution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is absolutely necessary for descent of the Supramental consciousness.

You are very much aware that animals and gods are typal beings but man is different. Characterising something as inferior morality is certainly relative and subjective, but the whole gamut of emotions are available to humans for attempting transformation of the lowest to highest.

Hindutva intellectuals are busy weaving imaginary neat narratives of the past garnished with generous critique of modernity. Though quite tempting to buy, Savitri Era Party rejects them on the basis of the future vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Yoga aspect is missing, too.

While this is a good description, such a thing isn't found anywhere. Savitri Era Religion can aim at it

[Culture or universal culture is a shared set of values, beliefs, and practices derived from a common spirituality or faith that transcends geographical and ethnic boundaries. - MNR]

My father's name is Chintamani and it reminds me the popular tale of Bilwamangala, also known as Lila Suka and Surdas. Observing so many learned persons engaged in promoting their pet subjects, I so fervently feel, if only they spent a fraction of their energy over Sri Aurobindo!

The greatest blessing of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on me is not only could I know them at a very young age but also I was determined enough to forsake many pleasures and attractions for studying their books and magazines with zeal. Resigning from Bank job too provided ample time. 

Evolution has its own reasons and hence expecting that the predictions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo should materialise within a short time may not be proper. The task is collaboration and worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine through Savitri Era Religion is the best option.

Eagles, Dolphins, or Daffodils can represent evolution especially in poetry but Sri Aurobindo has shown how mere lyricism is not enough. An intensity of feeling or emotion reflecting honesty or purity has more value even if the outcome is less palatable or ethically questionable.

Love for tradition and rituals is growing due to psychological insecurity and need for identity. Hubris and hatred are supplying the fuel for religious fanaticism. Savitri Era Religion, in this context, is the only option for a modern and liberal atmosphere. Follow Sri Aurobindo.

Complete reliance on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo so as to imagine that all our actions are being designed by them is a fundamental necessity. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, stipulates worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine so that love, devotion, or surrender is spontaneous.

Thanks for pointing out. Most people are unaware of Odia. Please write Odias.

In this context it's necessary to remember that Sri Aurobindo's views and priorities became different in many respects after he migrated to Puducherry in 1910. The arrival of The Mother in 1914 transformed most of his earlier opinions. Hence it's better to play down old writings.

Replies don't reach followers unless it's reposted. Further, as my account is heavily reported, number of impressions hardly cross 30-40.

The so called Indic knowledge can confuse any young person. It's therefore advisable to keep away from Sanskrit and various streams of Indian philosophy plus mythology. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and reading their books is the safest course.

If we forget about geopolitical ramifications European invasion of India provided the best opportunity to tackle metaphysics. To traditional Indian philosophy and wealth of Western philosophy, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo added invaluable insights distilled from Vedic hermeneutics.

Attempting to read Veda or Upanishads without consulting Sri Aurobindo is highly misleading. Even study of Astrology or Mythology can benefit much from his The Secret of the Veda. Similarly, Sri Aurobindo borrowing from Hegel or Spencer galvanises thought.

Sri Aurobindo never met Vivekananda. His encounter in jail is his own imagination which has nothing to do with Vivekananda himself. Thus making this incident as part of Vivekananda's life and history is anomalous. Further to claim that Vivekananda taught SA the Veda is erroneous.

I have been consistently pleading to keep Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo separate. Each should be studied independently as their historical contexts as well as philosophical thrusts are totally different. Further The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine.

Languages are being discussed and debated everywhere. After castes, and religion, this supposes to have caught the fancy of the people. This is in the right evolutionary direction from my perspective. Savitri Era Party has been demanding Sovereignty to States on linguistic basis.

Science and non-science aren't watertight compartments because the existence is one. Nevertheless, Sri Aurobindo explains through the notion of Exclusive Concentration that there is ample scope for any particular phenomenon to flourish. Thus within specific limits science reigns.

Marxist scholars distorted history and Hindutva adherents copied them. Philosophy too was too secular and Hindutva replaced it with mythology. In such a dismal situation, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and reading their books is the only way out.

It's not proper to issue certificates for followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. Savitri Era Religion is based on this simple belief without any complexities of the past religions. Those seeking proof will be disappointed except for their vast bulk of writings.

Savitri Era Party is against Hindutva but adopts a posture of supporting the Govt for its good actions. The Prime Minister bears the onerous responsibility of winning elections and hence he can be pardoned for resorting to theatre. This is a compulsion imposed by democracy, alas!

Psychological researches have advanced much in the field of Consciousness studies. So, those expounding on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings on yoga should take care not to present them as self-evident truth. Rather they form broad hints towards a distant futuristic scenario.

Savitri Era Party is opposed to both BJP and the Congress. India is yet to have proper democracy and right people as rulers. What we witness now is caricature. Believing in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their grace is the only option for revolution. 

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother were present at the time of Independence but somehow true democracy fails to flourish in India. Ethical atmosphere is unable to take root. It's safe to assume that it's part of the evolutionary intention and we may have to wait for a few decades more.

I don't think it's proper on the part of Alok Pandey to issue certificates as to who follows The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and in what way. Integral yoga is a direct relationship between them and the devotee. So there's absolutely no scope for any third party scrutiny or evaluation.

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother wrote when modernity was in vouge and literal reading of texts was the norm. Since then intermittent waves of postmodernism have transformed the intellectual environment. By portraying them as the one Supreme Divine, Savitri Era Religion alters focus.

Savitri Era Religion is the best option for the modern generation since worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine amounts to collaboration with evolution for descent of the Supramental consciousness. No mythological fiction nor reliance on rituals required.

While reading their books provides a slow growth of appreciation towards them, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is the assured path of establishing an intimate relation of love, loyalty, and surrender.

Savitri Era Party rejects all current ideologies and in spite of all dismal situations keeps its hope on future predictions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Following them with an attitude of devotion and surrender is the only way for ushering in a splendid destiny for the humanity. 

Savitri Era Religion rises above the complexities of older religions and philosophies. Based on the most modern and rational metaphysical system of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it serves the evolutionary purpose of collaboration with Earth consciousness towards Supramental descent. 

Proper names like Hindol Sengupta should be written as Hindol Sengupta and not as say, Dol Sengupta. Similarly, the name of Sri Aurobindo should be written as Sri Aurobindo and not in any other distorted manner. His name clearly appears on the cover of the books authored by him.

The most essential principle of Integral yoga is surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and seeking their grace. Savitri Era Religion facilitates worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. Path to be freed from mythology and rituals.

I read and write in English but there's no need for it in my conversations in the day-to-day life. Watching content in English or listening to music in English is also not part of my consumption. Odia, Hindi, and Bengali music form an important component of my aesthetic enjoyment.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo regularly at a slow pace is an excellent means of steady mental growth. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Additionally, accepting them as the one Supreme Divine facilitates quick understanding of their philosophy and yoga. This may take time.

Evolution ensues from the realm of Consciousness but its results are ultimately noticed in the material domain. Current affairs, therefore, can be construed as indicators in a hide and seek fashion. Many are under the illusion that an imagined past narrative is the ideal paradigm. 

Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, and Congress. It believes that the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will materialise as per the #FiveDreams Manifesto of 1947. States should be granted Sovereignty so that the nucleus of a future #WorldUnion coagulates.

Various forces are fighting against BJP, but they lack the secret of defeating it. Secular or rational alternatives look alluring but they are spent forces. Politics around religion or castes too has lost its steam. Savitri Era Religion is the most potent weapon against Hindutva.

One benefit of being born in Odisha is that I'm not unduly influenced by Tulsidas, Tagore, or Shankaracharyas. Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I'm saved from following local cults like Jagannath or Bhima Bhoi. I have been campaigning against mythology and rituals.

Evolution is part of Biology, but Sri Aurobindo imparts to it a profound Ontological significance by linking it to the Vedic Psychology. However, the whole dynamics is a bit more complex. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is integral to the process.

I don't track international news much and hence it's difficult for me to gauge who is on which side and why. But one thing is clear that various religions are at the root of ongoing conflicts. As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), this gives me immense hope and satisfaction.

Modi Govt. has done many good things especially in development arena. But that cannot be the reason to forget about what Hindutva has wrought to social harmony and democratic ethos. Emergency, similarly, had many positive results. But from the democratic angle, it was a disaster.

Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy by integrating different streams of thought from their various books is a difficult intellectual enterprise. But, ideological commitment to Hindutva can result in warped interpretation. Secular approach, similarly, is flawed.

Social, political, and economic issues continue to baffle humanity. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written much about them. The solutions they have pointed to, no doubt, are esoteric in essence. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, prefers to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.

Savitri Era: Savitri Era narrative is twenty years old savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/05/savitr…

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Understanding the essence of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance should be a minimum target for educated Indians, so that they don't suffer from inferiority complex vis-à-vis the West. For, their philosophy and yoga has real worth, in contradistinction to material superiority.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and hence it's erroneous and misleading to describe them as Guru, Avatar, or incarnation. They are always present in their three poises and lead the evolutionary march without any connection with old religions or philosophies.

1) By and large, the Nehruvian template remains intact.

2) State parties have broken the Single-party dominance.

3) Religion or Caste based ideologies are struggling.

4) Dynastic parties are bound to suffer setbacks.

5) Nationalism, per se, can't be an effective glue in politics.

A follower of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can never support Hindutva if he has read their books. However extraneous factors may compel someone to do otherwise. Savitri Era narrative is guiding in this respect since 2005. Savitri Era Party believes that BJP is a bundle of falsehood. 

I write on public issues, but my prayers for personal welfare and sundry longings before The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are also implicit in them. Working for bigger causes takes care of smaller problems. The highest and the most audacious Vedic aspiration for man is for Immortality.

There can be a thousand justifications for reservations but Savitri Era Party demands abolition of all kinds of reservations by the Govt. All references to castes and religions should be deleted from the Constitution so that citizens are treated at par without any discrimination.

A third problem of intellectual life is it is so protectionist and parochial. It doesn't consider anything out of the syllabus topic like Sri Aurobindo as remotely consequential.

Naveen Patnaik was voted out last year. The same thing may happen to Mamata Banerjee. Nitish Kumar is showing mental imbalance and may go too. Modi has been in power for a long time and should be shown the door. Savitri Era Party demands adequate safeguards in the Constitution.

Democracy poses this unenviable task before a citizen to get elected by others in order to enjoy power. But why should others vote for him? What would be the reasons for others for being attracted towards him? There's no standard answer. Therefore, all this drama around Sindoor.

Both CPI and RSS are celebrating their Centenary this year, but it's an important coincidence that the same for Sri Aurobindo Ashram also happens to be the next year. These are three clear ideological streams which have relevance for the future of the country as well as humanity.

Born a decade after Independence, I was brought up in an environment of valuing Modernity and rationality. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo also reinforced my temperament. But three decades later, Ram Temple movement introduced irrationality which even the Courts accepted.

As more and more devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo succumb to the influence of Hindutva, it becomes increasingly important to be resolute in opposing it. I have been disseminating this message since 2005 and the effect is visible. The narrative war continues.

When Girilal Jain's The Hindu Phenomenon was published posthumously in 1994, it sent shock waves since his record as editor of The Times of India was exemplary. He wrote a Manifesto for Hindutva but today he would have been grossly disappointed at the quagmire the movement is in.

Never before in the history of India so much of action and drama was packed within such a short span of time. It's exactly like a film set. Terrorists kill. Social media furore. Invisible military operation. Trump. Ceasefire. Road show. All with a title borrowed from Ekta Kapoor!

All are free to pursue paths for their own satisfaction but Savitri Era Religion is the only rational course for collaboration with evolution. Seeking the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for descent of the Supramental consciousness is a task for all. No mythology nor rituals.

It's interesting that Sri Aurobindo identified The Mother as the Divine Mother and she, in turn, recognised him as the Supreme Lord. No one else had any idea of Divine status about them. Later on, disciples gathered around them and thus believing in their words is the only means.

They told their disciples to practice yoga which is known as Integral Yoga. At the most basic level, it has three principles. Aspiration for higher consciousness, Rejection of undesirable elements, and Surrender to The Mother. All these are psychological affairs, and method-free.

With more and more disciples joining, an Ashram had to be created. But the primary principle was work. Different departments were built so that work itself can be offered to the Divine to facilitate spirituality. However, it had no provision for family life or political activity.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are vast and it's not easy to read them and compare. Savitri Era Religion is the simple option of following them without much intellectual burden. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine entitles one to their infinite love and compassion.

Sri Aurobindo has diverse facets and people come to him through different routes. But mere intellectual appreciation is a limitation. Even practice of Integral Yoga can be a hindrance. Savitri Era Religion presents the opportunity for surrender and transformation of human nature.

Marxists not only banished Sri Aurobindo from the history books but also ensured that neither his philosophy nor poetry is taught in the Universities. This continues till date. But their fear is elsewhere and it is real. Savitri Era Religion is going to encompass the whole world.

Savitri Era Religion faces resistance from Hindutva adherents on the one side and Leftists and rationalists on the other. Their pet argument is that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are against starting a new religion. But unfortunately the Constitution has given the right to devotees.

Aspiring for a life of spirituality doesn't mean commanding mastery over human instincts and passions. Many tend to pose in such a manner but it's better to be pragmatic in this respect. Just by reading a couple of books by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo no one turns a saintly person. 

Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose exalted designations like a Sadhak or a Yogi. It's meant for ordinary human beings who are willing to be the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Surrender to them and seeking their grace for transformation of human nature is what's required. 

With access to Internet in 2005, I discovered the controversy surrounding Ken Wilber. High level of intellectual debates were going on which proved futility of knowledge. Then came the conflict over a book by Peter Heehs in 2008. By that time, I had launched Savitri Era Religion.

Integral Yoga came into operation when The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were there. Thus no one can assure about its efficacy after their departure. Savitri Era Religion is the simple path of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their grace sans mythology and rituals.

The wealth of wisdom that the West has amassed under Humanities is stupendous. But it would have been partial and one-sided had Sri Aurobindo not written his epochal books. Although his writings are not known very widely, still a genuine seeker of knowledge can locate his words.

You are requested to consult the CWSA volumes, instead of the SABCL, as they are the latest and incorporate wide-ranging revisions.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/25/the-re…

Standards of Conduct and Spiritual Freedom in The Synthesis of Yoga can be read as an allied theme.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/standa…

Heavy tomes or high-flown English shouldn't be a barrier between Sri Aurobindo and the people. No need to be scared away by intricacies of Integral yoga too. Savitri Era Religion is the simple path of seeking the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are the one Supreme Divine.

Many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are staunch supporters of BJP and Modi, at present. That creates a wrong impression in the minds of the general public. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aren't part of Hindu religion. Savitri Era Party has been opposing Hindutva since 2007.

Independence gave us democracy and modernity. Socialism was also the favoured ideology at that time. Millions of people benefitted from that environment. Current political situation tends to reverse many of the gains of that period. But that will be resisted. Fraternity will rule. 

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been in operation since 2005 selforum.blogspot.com

This is an excellent repository of info and links relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and allied subjects. A dozen other blogs too have been spreading knowledge during the last 20 years.
