Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era Religion

Worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

As the one Supreme Divine

Who are always present in their three poises.

No castes or customs

No mythology or rituals

No initiation ceremony

Or any intermediary.

Anyone can join voluntarily,

To launch a journey evolutionary.

People keep on comparing and conflating Sri Aurobindo with others. It's a misleading job. Sri Aurobindo himself has a dozen facets. Understanding his each aspect and harmonising them with present reality is itself a challenging task. But most just mention him to signal erudition!

I have been writing on Sri Aurobindo here but the Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague. For them the right knowledge or the right direction is not important but mythology is. Even now, when the caste is such a big issue, who else than Sri Aurobindo can come to their rescue?

The Constitution of India mandates a nation where all are equal. No doubt, many such ideals are drawn from the Bible or Western philosophers. But a more fundamental philosophical underpinning is provided by Sri Aurobindo. Engaging with him is necessary for right ideological clue.

Apart from The Mother book, several major works of Sri Aurobindo become relevant on the question of caste. They are Essays on the Gita, The Secret of the Veda, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine, and The Human Cycle. All devotees and followers must prepare for future debates.

Savitri Era Religion will cover the whole world, so that the fight among old religions vanishes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for world peace and human unity. This is also evolutionarily ordained for achieving Vedic Immortality.

She has absolutely no relevance for others, nobody knows her; but for us she is everything, the golden bridge. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

By forming Savitri Era Religion in 2006 I affirmed that we have no connection with old religions. Our love, devotion, and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only thing that counts. By starting Savitri Era Party in 2007 similarly I declared, we are against all parties.

We can be the ruling party. Just one person is needed to contest in each constituency. Thereafter, it's the choice of the people.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion or political party. I created the Savitri Era banner after I got access to instant web publishing in 2005. I have been doing many ideological fine tuning over the years. Devotees and followers are requested to examine them.

Those who haven't read The Life Divine can't understand why I'm so optimistic about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party. The changes The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have foreseen won't happen overnight. Commensurate infrastructure has to be built for ushering in an ideal society. 

Savitri Era narrative has been successful to rescue the discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from the narrow confines of the Ashram or Auroville. The relevance of the #FiveDreams Manifesto is worldwide and hence a paradigm shift as regards practice of Integral yoga is overdue.

Savitri Era Party has been demanding returning Auroville to the devotees and withdrawing non-devotees from its administration. There should be a semblance of democracy in its functioning and it shouldn't be run like a govt development project. Reconising Savitri Era Religion too.

The Life Divine doesn't talk about any particular nation or religion. It doesn't talk about airports either. Yet it remains the most coherent explanation of why we are here and where we go from here. Without reading it, it is impossible to imagine its immensity and inevitability.

Savitri Era Party (2007), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, has been demanding abolition of reservations and all provisions in the Constitution relating to castes and religions. Social justice can't be achieved by prolonging discrimination perpetually. #FiveDreams

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005, I have been highlighting that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy doesn't mean mere silent meditation but acquiring wide knowledge and political sensibilities for facing the fast-changing challenges of the modern world.

I'm appalled at the fact that people who are fairly conversant with Sri Aurobindo's The Human Cycle hold sympathies for almost an opposite kind of politics in India. Savitri Era Party, however, has an uncompromising stand apropos the past and promises to espouse enlightening way.

After listing Nineteen sets of irreconcilable contradictions, Goblipura Subbaramiah has recommended that every Indian child should learn Ramayana and Mahabharata. There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Ergo, Savitri Era Religion owes allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Deeply aware of the bankruptcy of Hindutva as an ideology, Modi has been building his personal charisma in the model of mythological Monarchy. Though a successful formula, it is subversive of democracy. Savitri Era Party aspires for a political atmosphere, devoid of manipulation.

Sandeep Balakrishna has lamented in a post that people are not reading the history of Indian culture from primary sources in Indian languages. Now, this is a back-breaking task for the new generation! But he has not disclosed what scholars like him have established, conclusively.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

All Nature dumbly calls to her alone.

To heal with her feet the aching throb of life.

- Sri Aurobindo (Savitri, 3.2.)

An old Odia ଓଡିଆ song by Raghunath Panigrahi.

youtu.be/Evu-w9q6omU?si…

A decade back, I had presented a paper in a Conference at Nitte contextualising The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's perspective which was published in their journal, Nitte Management Review. Reimagining and Refashioning Integral Management

The Mother came to India to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914, and today is her birth anniversary. All those, who have ignored me all these years, haven't grown intellectually. The loss is theirs, not mine. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the only solution for the future.

I have the advantage of reading the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo along with some Western philosophy. Further, I have witnessed different phases of Indian politics during the last seventy years. Without such a varied orientation, thinking ability is bound to be handicapped.

I have been reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since the age of eight. So there was no requirement for me to read other gurus. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are absolutely unprecedented and unique. They are the one Supreme Divine. But for academic purposes, one can make comparisons.

I can request @roshendalal to guide you in this respect since she is an authority on both the thinkers.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata but West Bengal is yet to appreciate him fully. Still it's possible that people are drawn to The Mother first so that Sri Aurobindo is recognised. This is overdue and our prayers on her birthday to do the needful! Let West Bengal lead once again.

True. I think, Karmayogi's role has been phenomenal. @KarmayogiQuotes

Very few people are aware about the life of Sri Aurobindo during the years 1914 to 1920. He was writing 6 to 7 books simultaneously for publication in the Arya monthly magazine. There was no Ashram then and his pupils were a few. Historians should be interested about this period.

After shifting to Delhi in 1988, one of my first tasks was to memorise various roads radiating from the ubiquitous roundabouts from a map since taking a wrong direction means you reach elsewhere. In a similar spirit, I have been trying to show the right direction here since 2005.

After buying a flat in Indirapuram in 1998, I shifted to Ghaziabad.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine entails aligning with the evolutionary intention of the descent of the Supramental consciousness leading to the Vedic objective of physical Immortality and harmony.

Gandhi is as essential for understanding the past, as Sri Aurobindo is for formulating the future. I had formed Savitri Era Party in 2007 with the strong conviction that Hindutva would collapse under its own contradictions and hypocrisy. Present turmoil over UGC is the beginning!

Just read in the news that Mohan Bhagwat says, RSS is not meant for Hindutva politics. This seems to be a good sign. Real social challenges should be the focus. That would form the root for organic politics for our young democracy, instead of an imaginary, predetermined template.

I'm yet to find any intellectual in India who I can really admire and be guided by. I will be happy if someone tells me of such a person. Nobody has read Sri Aurobindo and hence I consider all as uneducated. Having invested my life in Sri Aurobindo I have earned this distinction.

True, but I find that many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo need appropriate orientation and guidance. That's why I had started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005. Intellectual growth takes years.

Well put. Why are you underground? You can do a lot!

Savitri Era Party doesn't believe in any imaginary, glorious past of India since different kingdoms were perpetually at war with each other. It doesn't promote Sanskrit learning in school as it is too taxing without much reward. Reading Sri Aurobindo's translations is sufficient.

People are suffering from defective ontology. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave a new evolutionary ontology more than a century ago. Imbibing it is the responsibility of each person. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to disseminate this new knowledge and praxis.

Anyone can search my profile and find how I kept on alerting about Modi on different occasions. I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007, the Centenary year of Sri Aurobindo's lead in the Surat split of Congress. Thus ideology is vital in politics and popularity can come in a day.

Looks like the algorithm blockade has eased a bit, and my posts are reaching people. However, I request all to discuss the perspectives and possibilities, I present, vis-à-vis other alternatives, in their timelines, so that the theoretical aspects can be examined more rigorously.

The silence, connivance, and complicity of educated people have brought us to such a pass. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for remedying the situation. Savitri Era Party has been spreading this emancipatory message despite resistance by dominant circles.

Sex is the Achilles' heel of Integral yoga

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise that the future will be different. Savitri Erans, therefore, don't put much confidence on the past. Even present arrangements like nationality or commercial blocs are suspect. Our identity as human beings is the most fundamental configuration.

Development is the new slogan and reform is the modality. For Savitri Erans, however, transformation is the mode of evolution. It doesn't depend on any single community or geographical location. New consciousness can grow anywhere in the world, in any receptive or aspiring heart.

Although, Nehruvian consensus served the basis for a broad cultural template after the British left, Charan Singh was able to articulate the concerns of the farmers with economics at the heart. His protest against Nehru then is the genesis of why Modi is the Prime Minister today.

Many here advise others to read Sri Aurobindo without reading him themselves. They don't specify which book to read or in what context. They aren't bothered about The Mother or what Auroville means. They are unaware that Sri Aurobindo wrote a long poem titled Ilion on Greek theme. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the minimum expected of their devotees. Savitri Era Religion is meant for securing this much without any variation or pretext of slipping into temptations of old ways.

There is another typo in the name of Sri Aurobindo. It is Sri and not Shri. He used to sign in the style Sri Aurobindo and that is his complete name. Any variation is erroneous. For us the devotees, name is mantra and spelling sacrosanct. It also proves that you haven't read him!

In many meetings and conferences, the speakers induce a sense of deficiency in the minds of those present by citing The Mother's instructions. Savitri Era Religion, on the contrary, encourages a joyful relationship with her, with love, devotion, and surrender. No yoga or sadhana!

For many solutions, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo proposed the role of soul, the spirit, the psychic being, the true self, or such other esoteric entities. From the point of view of a modern mind, these are inaccessible. Despite robust theoretical framework, results are not assured.

There shouldn't be hypocrisy. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have said is their responsibility. We needn't parrot them. Avoiding false promise is most important. Savitri Era Religion asks to worship them as the one Supreme Divine but a devotee's relationship with them is unique.

It was easy for me all these years to criticise Hindutva on the strength of Sri Aurobindo. But now Hindutva itself is undergoing severe churning due to upper castes revolt. No clarity as of now since electoral politics and RSS double-speak are involved. Still Savitri Era is safe.

Please write Sri Aurobindo, a proper noun.

x.com/i/status/20241…

You didn't believe me then!

That's not the right spirit, and we can't claim monopoly on Sri Aurobindo. As an author, JSD is very much entitled to provoke public opinion by referring to Sri Aurobindo in a tangential way. One is reminded of how Ken Wilber popularised Sri Aurobindo among the elite in the West.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo leave most things open-ended. Although The Mother has been identified as the Divine Mother in three poises Sri Aurobindo's own status hasn't been clearly enunciated. Even the concept of Ashram or Yoga is not compatible with their philosophy.

The Ashram grew from ideas in Ananda Math, Bhawani Mandir, and Deva Sangha of Chandannagar etc. It was a laboratory which has no relevance after The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's demise. Secluded and regimented life has no place in their vision of the world. 2) Yoga is not verifiable.

Leftists have been churning out PhDs in Humanities without mentioning Sri Aurobindo. Hindutva intellectuals imitated the same formula for writing books. But now a situation has arrived when there can't be any thinking without Sri Aurobindo. The next step is Savitri Era version.

Thanks. Please indicate if there is any online documentation or publication. Compiling a resource base would be beneficial for all.

I have been hinting at that weird situation when many of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's actual writings would be bypassed or overlooked. Selective quoting at present creates misleading atmosphere. But subjective interpretation will be a more dangerous zone. However, spirit matters.

Watch it if you can. @Nimai_Swain @akazlev

Democracy is an admirable notion but with the most problematic elements. Instead of an elephant choosing as in olden days people are expected to elect. But on what basis? Can it be rational? With men one can be sure to some extent. But women? The eternal Gopis? Whoa! It's rigged.

Remembering The Mother along with Sri Aurobindo is also important as she embodies that Integral spirit. Incidentally, tomorrow happens to be her Birth anniversary which is celebrated all over the world. Peter Heehs has written a wonderful biography of her.

Why there is so much of confusion within the Hindutva ecosystem? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo foresaw it long back. I started Savitri Era Religion for worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Winds of Modernity blew into India when The Asiatic Society was founded by Sir William Jones on January 15, 1784. Bengal Renaissance followed during which William Carey and Thomas Babington Macaulay played great roles. The Mother arrived from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914.

Most of us here talk about politics or national and international affairs, but the relevance of spirituality is basically personal, and The Mother is an excellent guide. Sex is Achilles' heel of Integral yoga on which Dr Bijlani has tried to shed some light.

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This provides a nuanced perspective. @satoverma x.com/i/status/20219…

Letters written by Sri Aurobindo to different disciples in the Ashram cannot be applied mutatis mutandis to everyone now that his and The Mother's direct spiritual force is absent. One cannot simply read books and claim to be practicing the Yoga correctly. Surrender is necessary.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them under Savitri Era Religion is an indispensable aspect of their philosophy and yoga. It is an act of collaboration with aspiration of earth's consciousness for seeking Supramental consciousness.

Like the eminent historians, some people made a name as intellectuals by milking Hindutva, during the last decade. But scholarship is unsustainable without wide reading, and works of Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Indian situation. Unfortunately, they upturn the Hindutva boat!

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows criticising received wisdom. He is establishing a new philosophy and a new orientation in thought. Deeply aware of human weaknesses and hold of the past on him, he promises the Supramental through evolutionary inevitability.

In our childhood, a prayer called Ahe dayamaya biswabihari was recited in school written by Ramakrushna Nanda. Similar prayers by Madhusudan Rao were also popular. Though Marathi and Brahmo, he is considered as the Father Of Modern Odia Poetry along with Radhanath Ray, a Bengali.

In order to herald his new philosophy Sri Aurobindo published the Arya magazine in 1914 with minimal resources. It's paradoxical that in the age of Social media and AI, communication about him and his ideology remains handicapped. It doesn't bother much his devotees or followers!

How you can pen something which was penned or rather spoken by Sri Aurobindo? By the way, The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo is now available online in 36 volumes. incarnateword.in/cwsa

It's a long journey but going through them can transform your thinking and the whole being.

Thankfully, Vivekananda is nowhere in the reckoning now. Ambedkar, pitiably, has become the rope in the current tug of war, while poor, Karpatri Maharaj is pushed to rub shoulder with Savarkar! Somehow, Sri Aurobindo remains a favoured fixture in all these permutations. Et voilà!

There was no good option for Ambedkar when he converted to Buddhism. But today Savitri Era Religion is a viable alternative anchored in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been in the job of foregrounding Sri Aurobindo and his Integral outlook based on the evolutionary schema of The Life Divine since 2005. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present.

In many instances Sri Aurobindo is referred to without any mention of The Mother. This is erroneous since they are one consciousness and represent an Integral philosophy. Sri Aurobindo's writings before their meeting in 1914 therefore should be given less weightage than of later.

My understanding of the castes is that it can't be wished away. Whether birth-based or work-based division of labour is indispensable just like separation of powers in a democracy. Varuna appears in the Veda and Zend-Avesta. Sri Aurobindo's interpretation of it resembles Brahmin.

It's really intriguing that it took half-a-century to decode this much. It may take another half-a-century for arriving at Sri Aurobindo!

With my life of seventy years on this planet, I can't claim to be aware of 7000 years of history or philosophy. Even to be informed adequately about 700 years is also a tall order. However relying on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives a balanced overview. Be Indian; be Aurobindian!

It's not without significance that Sri Aurobindo was present at the time of Independence which came on his 75th birthday. It should be remembered that each top leader had an appointed role and hence needless criticism of him is unwarranted. Some have temerity even to deride RRMR!

[Hindu Dharma is not monolithic... It is an incomprehensibly vast Banyan tree... (with) diverse modes of worship, Gurus, Sampradayas, and even Deities.] Sarva dharma sama bhava is contested but steamrolling different mystic streams under an overarching brand is considered Kosher!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo encourage new thinking and modern attitude. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion entails seeking their grace for descent of the Supramental consciousness. No castes or customs. No mythology or rituals. No intermediaries.

Sri Aurobindo has created a new dictionary of Sanskrit in the course of his writing The Secret of the Veda. He has also many other theories with regard to language and interpretation. Being acquainted with them can provide a better understanding of traditional culture and wisdom.

Complete silence of BJP supporters on any negative aspect of the Govt. sends shivers down the spine. This doesn't look like democracy and that too in the time of social media and AI. No criticism of the party even. Mythological model of Monarchy seems to hold sway. Hindu Rashtra!

That was in some context. Perhaps UGC or a bit prior to that. And it seems to be silenced already. Yet I will be happy if there is legitimate critique on broad parameters.

That's an old complain aired by a few known hawks. But to his credit, Modi has functioned  all along as UPA-3, ideologically. However, there have been major issues on democracy front.

Integral yoga is an interim name

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Theory format savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/02/sri-au

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

https://x.com/i/status/2020945979218985245

Sri Aurobindo has written thousands of letters but unfortunately the persons to whom they were written and their questions remain unpublished. This has robbed his role of humanisising and emotional elements. A great deal of sociological and historical documents are in cold store.

Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of any mythology or rituals. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and surrender to them is the task for collaborating with evolution for descent of higher consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, officially came into being in 1926 and this is its Centenary year. The message that Sri Aurobindo is the greatest thinker of the country has reached everyone now. The young generation should examine how much his legacy is relevant for the future.

The GC debate is unfolding gradually which is extremely amusing for Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party. Amazing to see how enlightened minds are immediately captured by identitarian sentiments. So how fair it is to expect those holding Constitutional posts to be above it?

Spirituality is nothing new and yoga in any abstract sense is futile. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo add to it is surrender to them and seeking their grace. Savitri Era Religion is the right condition for fostering this emotion which also amounts to collaboration with evolution.

Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises is the only way for social harmony.

Sri Aurobindo is not amenable to any kind of synthesis. He has built a complete schema which is inevitable through evolution. Reading him carefully is necessary.

You are right. Their legacy is subversive of Hindutva or for that matter all religions. I am writing this since 2005. But the evolutionary trajectory they have foreseen will touch all.

It's human nature. People in UP used to vote for Congress. Then shifted to Charan Singh, then Mulayam, then Mayawati, Now Yogi. Is their any logic?

You can become one.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo knew that the world was not ready. They did everything and created everything for launching a new religion but gave it an interim name: Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion simply formalises that arrangement by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

You are very much correct, and I have practically said the same thing. But only their written words are not enough. How they behaved, their way of interaction with the disciples, various celebrations in the Ashram, etc. have to be taken into account for understanding in totality.

I don't consider top intellectuals properly educated as they haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books. But longtime devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo espousing Hindutva ideology is tarnishing his image. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to expose such deviance.

Epical characters are worshipped in Hinduism which is considered superior to other major religions by Hindutva votaries. Colonialism and evangelism contribute to this perceived antipathy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine in Savitri Era Religion.

It's necessary to analyse why what you have recommended is not happening. That means they are neither easy nor possible since there are other compulsions. To disregard those is wishful thinking. Right diagnosis is the first step. So spelling out inherent infirmities is important.

Savitri Era Religion has been resisting mythology and rituals on the basis of the symbolic interpretation of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. Besides, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is far more satisfying.

One may draw inspiration either from Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) or Michael Polanyi (1891–1976), Pierre Klossowski (1905–2001) or Leszek Kołakowski (1927–2009), Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya (1918–1993) or Debi Prasad Chattopadhyaya (1933–2022), but the ultimate source is Sri Aurobindo.

Fiction is meant to be disruptive and cathartic.

Fiction and all creative art are polyphonic or speak different voices. It's a training ground for the human mind. He is able to experience multiple things vicariously beyond his immediate environment or memory. Further, it has got healing qualities through depressing portrayals.

Your review of the movie is reductionist. You are highlighting only one aspect, a part of the plot. Further, you are connecting it to a dominant political ideology. You are fully entitled to it. My point is to look at it through the lens of art and fiction. Art deserves respect.

You say that deliberate propaganda does not deserve respect. But I disagree. All kinds of opinion and propaganda form a garland for our democracy. Each voice has its role.

https://x.com/i/status/2022312846412189790

Many have protested against the hegemony of the Veda during the last one thousand years. Some of them are part of the Bhakti movement. Sri Aurobindo restored the original significance of the Veda that is pivotal to Savitri Era Religion. It's also crucial to understand the castes.

Dharmendra Pradhan knows Sri Aurobindo, and is instrumental in incorporating the principles of Integral Education in NEP. He is from Odisha and is highly educated. Right now, if he is defending some emancipatory aspects of policy proposals, then Savitri Era Party extends support.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. It not only foils the attempt of secularising Integral yoga but also rescues Sri Aurobindo from being harnessed by Hindutva for weaponising Nationalism on his anvil. But Vedic foundation is vital.

Being educated in the Science stream, many Hindutva exponents express a disdainful attitude towards Humanities. Their feeling condescendingly towards the West also prevents them from imbibing the foundations of Modern thought. Sri Aurobindo is an excellent bridge in this context.

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo remains the only hope savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/01/sri-au

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

It's heartening to notice many Hindutva stalwarts coming around to the same view about Modi that I have been harping on since 2012. This country will develop when educated people will learn to tell the right thing. However Modi being accused of secularism is certainly his credit.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't endorse Integral yoga in the absence of verifiable empirical evidences about its result. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine therefore is the safest course. Establishing a direct relationship with them depends on devotees.

I can't figure out today if it's Colonialism 2.0 or a step towards the #WorldUnion as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto, 1947. Still something on this scale never happened before. Auroville, in this scenario can have a greater role. My prayers to The Mother!

Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, who are always present as the one Supreme Divine, is the foundational principle of Savitri Era Religion. It's free from mythology, rituals, or system of practice. Anyone can join voluntarily without any intermediary or initiation ceremony.

Many religions fail to reconcile a strict bifurcation between the Divine and the mundane but Savitri Era Religion is fortunate in this respect. Everything including the evil or the vain is Divine and the task is to sense that infallible intention emanating from the All beautiful.

Ontology is an unfamiliar word for most but it is the very basis of each one's worldview. It's normal now to imbibe it from various sources like science, religion, culture, history, mythology, movies, or literature. Even politics drives a certain orientation. Savitri Era is best.

Bankim's Anandamath, Bhawani Mandir, Prabartak Sangha, Chandannagar, Ashram at Puducherry, and Auroville are part of Sri Aurobindo's life and vision. His dream of #WorldUnion too can be said to be a stepping stone towards the Life Divine or Spiritual Age. Ashram was born in 1926.

Veda and Upanishads were written thousands of years ago. Mahabharata and Gita too are ancient texts. But their wisdom and ethics haven't percolated to human behaviour. Sri Aurobindo wrote many tomes for explaining these principles but human nature is incapable of reflecting them.

The first chapter of The Secret of the Veda is very interesting. This book is the most original contribution of Sri Aurobindo which transforms Indian thought and tradition.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/the-pr

I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 when I was fifty. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother never conceived a new religion but it grew out of my own study and research. Thus it's necessary to piece together and change their varied writings for creating a coherent ontological framework.

Without subscribing to the overarching principle of unity and universality taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, harmony cannot be achieved. It's not for nothing that Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine. Disregarding its evolutionary rationale will cost us heavily as a nation.

Once upon a time, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings were the only source for psychological modulation and a spiritual orientation. These days, one is bombarded with so much of coverage and videos on these aspects that the glut can be said to be causing Counselling pollution!

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been campaigning for abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will ensure equality and justice among people on the basis of the intrinsic unity of all human beings.

Initially, one doesn't understand Sri Aurobindo. Then, one begins to understand him, and a sense of certainty sets in. Later, when one covers more texts, it comes to the fore that #SriAurobindo is not certain on anything. He is always tentative and leaves things to possibilities.

We must never forget how valiantly Sri Aurobindo put on record his opposition to Shankara and Sayana to build the foundations of a new path. If we don't recognise that newness and make it a handmaiden of mythology and rituals, then all talk of descent of Supramental is fruitless.

The basic concept of Ashram that The Mother had in mind was that if ordinary material requirements of people were arranged for then they will be free to pursue spirituality. Democracy too seeks to keep the people free from the worries of security, civic facilities, and dominance.

Sri Aurobindo privileges individual freedom which is also the cornerstone of Indian Constitution. All kinds of group-formation leads to exploitation and hence is subversive of the Constitution. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party stress on the individual's will and choice.

A basic feature of spirituality is to forget about personal circumstances. Or rather, trying to rise over personal identity and its peculiarities. Politics too needs this. Taking decisions for the nation as a whole regardless of the interests of own party or ideology is the task.

Hindutva hasn't been able to create a standard syllabus in Political science for Undergraduate students. The UGC episode exposed how their intellectuals are confused. Savitri Era Party has been disseminating the #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo haven't given any time-frame for the changes they predicted. Yet a lot many is happening on the political front indicating a churning. The Nehruvian template is unrecognisable now post hegemony of Hindutva and Backward castes that are anti-evolutionary.

Hindutva exponents take pleasure in denouncing the Communists and resort to mythology for explaining any social phenomenon. But @TheJaggi has enumerated several measures in @SwarajyaMag which are Socialist in nature. However, real solution is to follow The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Gandhi too didn't realise that his going on fast was coercion and violence on others.

[प्यार वो होता है जब कोई नायिका के कुत्ते से भी प्यार करता है।]

Feeble voices are emitting from various corners for throwing out the castes. Certainly, a good thing; but how to go about it? No modality is being suggested. Embracing Savitri Era Religion, by worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, is the only solution.

GoogleAI informs that Shashi Tharoor in his recent book on Sree Narayana Guru has compared some of his facets to that of Sri Aurobindo, Vivekananda, Ambedkar, and Gandhi. While his effort is laudable as a native of Kerala, how far it does justice to Sri Aurobindo is a moot point.

The Mother: A Life of Sri Aurobindo's Spiritual Collaborator by Peter Heehs is the most authentic documentation of a significant period of history which is not available elsewhere. Important to note that the #SriAurobindo we know today is because of her.

I have seen diverse social and political situations during the last seventy years. Being influenced by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy has saved me from being misguided by harmful ideologies. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been canvassing for it.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises forms a basic task for all. Savitri Era Religion is spreading this message since 2006 the validity of which can be understood by applying the intellect to a small extent.

You may not learn Vedic Sanskrit but reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo can give you insights on what its terms really mean.

The contributions of Sir William Jones, William Carey, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and Thomas Babington Macaulay are immense for building modern India. What they had started remains unfinished as UGC episode shows. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo under Savitri Era Religion is key.

Religion, philosophy, and science haven't been able to explain the mystery of the world. Each of us acquires a certain conception of life from multiple sources which goes on modifying as we grow. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the best avenue.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo doesn't involve any ritual or routine. Savitri Era Religion is free from all institutional influences and stipulations. Devotees are at liberty to modulate their mentality for building own unique relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Gandhi's Hey Ram is as problematic as the precise location of Ram's birth. It's a sad commentary on how modernity was snatched away from the hands of the people of India. Distortion of facts and history has become so normal that no one bothers now as to what is the actual truth.

It specifies seven "actual" standpoints or perspectives.

My dinner is waiting. Hunger refuses to be consigned to the Fourth heavens!

Assumptions about Sri Aurobindo's metaphysical framework seems to be flawed. The booklet The Mother modifies the neat scheme of The Life Divine by introducing the religious element of grace of The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo has examined in detail all these schools of thought and pointed out their insufficiency. His final advice is to worship The Mother and surrender to her.

In Savitri Era Religion devotees worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. It has no castes or customs. No rituals or routine. Anyone can join voluntarily without any intermediary institution or initiation ceremony.

Expecting that the problems of the country will be solved by this political party or that is in vain. It is only by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo that the evolutionary process can be accelerated. Savitri Era Religion holds the right recipe for creating a casteless society.

I have been writing about Savitri Era Religion for the last twenty years without the support of anyone else. It has grown out of my personal circumstances and study. My deepest gratitude to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for giving me this opportunity and necessary material facility.

I belong to the fading generation. You are the future!

Savitri Era Party has been demanding abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution of India. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo entails a spirit of universality and fraternity, irrespective of all distinctions, as per the #FiveDreams.

Availability of inexhaustible magnitude of knowledge on the web, unfortunately, hasn't produced commensurate receptivity or openness. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), therefore, has been proclaiming the supremacy of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and allied intellectual attunement.

Religion enjoins to follow tradition and democracy respects it. But in a conflictual situation, the legal existence through the Constitution takes precedence. Constitution provides freedom to profess any religion but subject to the restriction of conforming to its overall spirit.

Most religions are not Constitution-ready. They have many provisions and practices that are discriminatory as well as anti-democratic. Savitri Era Religion (2006), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is the first religion designed for a modern or rational environment.

Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Theory format, and hence they shouldn't be perceived as revealed or self-evident truth. Treating the Divine as a given, and beyond the scope of argument, is his advantage. In such a framework, religion ceases to be a separate domain and imbricates life.

What William Carey (1761–1834) achieved in North, Robert Caldwell (1814–1891) accomplished in South. The intellectual fermentation that followed was overwhelming the rumblings of which are heard even today. However Sri Aurobindo is as relevant to his previous century as his next.

Sri Aurobindo explains that Ananda is the same as Ananta. That means endlessness, deathlessness, or infinite. Thus, confusing Ananda with pleasurable religious experiences is erroneous. The Mother too is much more strict on the nature of music. Group dynamics can render it worse.

Sri Aurobindo's writings began coming out in Arya magazine on August 15, 1914. Anyone reading them will be transformed in a significant manner. He can not go back to the old ways of thinking. Hindutva isn't allowing people to partake of this new knowledge. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Ajit Pawar was taken away in a second. No person howsoever powerful can stay where he is for even a minute more than what's designed by the evolution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most appropriate way of collaborating with its intention.

I don't recommend spirituality since I hardly have any experience in it, but reading the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo itself can be felt as spirituality and a right intellectual exercise. Locating Sri Aurobindo in the history of Western thought too is highly edifying.

Different parties are promoting different icons but have failed in solving the problems of the country. Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, will bring radical changes in accordance with their evolutionary and revolutionary vision as per #FiveDreams.

People have forgotten about Govindacharya who replicated the V.P. Singh formula in BJP and it won elections in many States. So, if another Mondal is guiding the party now, there is nothing to be surprised. Democracy is precariously perched on demography and temple has lost shine!

Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and having lived in different environments has given me unique experiences. Therefore, I feel that yoga or spirituality is not possible in modern life. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is more logical for surrender and collaboration.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings and conversations extend from 1893 to 1973 involving over seventy volumes. Besides there are reminiscences of the devotees. Acquiring a grasp on this vast literature isn't easy for anyone. Consequently interpreting their project turns flawed.

The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (36 volumes), Collected Works of The Mother (20 volumes), and Mother's Agenda (13 volumes) constitute the greatest online open University of the world. 

incarnateword.in/cwsa

incarnateword.in/compilations

Devotees connected with various Centres become addicted to an annual calendar of special events and celebrations. But each individual has his own unique way of approaching The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and hence Savitri Era Religion emphasises freedom from routine and fixed rituals.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo leave most things open-ended. Although The Mother has been identified as the Divine Mother in three poises Sri Aurobindo's own status hasn't been clearly enunciated. Even the concept of Ashram or Yoga is not compatible with their philosophy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written at many places about how to get rid of ego so that higher influence or inspiration is received. It is basically surrender to the Divine. However, this comes in handy for institution-heads for continuing their rule without facing any criticism.

Sri Aurobindo remains the only hope

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: What looks bogus today becomes a reality tomorrow savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/01/what-l

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

#TusarNathMohapatra

Congress and the Left historians treat the first decade of the last century as dark age. All efforts were done to banish Sri Aurobindo from the history books. But it's astonishing that even after the advent of AI, people are expressing surprise on learning about Uttarpara speech!

I link it to Sri Aurobindo's dream of #WorldUnion.

My Odia handle is separate.

x.com/i/status/11535 …

The 20th century has all the ingredients for endless study of human excellence as well as perversion. Computers were rudimentary when man walked on the moon. This century has been taken over by AI. But it can't solve the meaning of life. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remain relevant

BJP hasn't been able to appropriate Sri Aurobindo fully till now, but as West Bengal Assembly elections are drawing near, it is eager to harness his Uttarpara speech to the hilt. But Savitri Era Party feels that it won't be successful since evolutionary trajectory aims elsewhere!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise on collective and cosmic transformation unlike the traditional and Buddhist stress on self-realisation or liberation. In this sense, politics is a vehicle for dissemination of their ideals and enthusing people about evolutionary inevitability.

It's superficially believed that Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion but it's very much inbuilt in his Integral yoga as he talks about the indispensability of Divine grace in the first sentence of The Mother book. Surrender to The Mother under Savitri Era Religion is key.

People are avidly debating over some two lines someone has said in a recent debate in Kolkata about one line of one of Sri Aurobindo's speeches. But no one is interested in the 36 volumes of The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA) available free online. incarnateword.in/cwsa

I remember having made a lengthy intervention about Sri Aurobindo during the Q&A session after Roy Bhaskar's speech in a college in Delhi. He seemed to be appreciative in his response. Thereafter I had noticed a quotation from The Mother in his next book. May be two decades back!

There are several options:

Religion, theology, mythology

Astrology, theosophy, mysticism

Philosophy, theory, analysis

Science, observation, computing.

But the truth is elsewhere

Neatly elaborated by

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri and The Life Divine

Are epitome of knowledge.

https://x.com/i/status/2012329739994673308

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with any other religion or philosophy. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is its basic principle. It's free from mythology and rituals. It doesn't rely on any institution or intermediary. All are free to feel as a part of it voluntarily.

Modi's lasting contribution can be compared to what Sokal did to the academic world. It's not his fault if people chose to believe him for so long.

Savitri Era Religion involving surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most convenient way for bypassing the dominance of Hindutva. It also fosters a modern and rational atmosphere by shedding mythology and rituals. Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, Congress, and Left

Savitri Era Religion facilitates establishing a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without the intervention of any individual or institution. It is also free from mythology and rituals so that the new generation is not burdened with avoidable history or nostalgia

A chapter on Sri Aurobindo

AI is very much a part of the future evolution envisioned by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But associating it with the higher levels of consciousness may not be correct. When even mitochondria are yet to be understood adequately as sensing and communicative entities, we must wait!

Some are highlighting 1909 as a defining moment but a much more transforming hour came when The Mother came to meet Sri Aurobindo in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. Arya rolled out on August 15, 1914 heralding the promise of a Life Divine and Spiritual Age.

incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

Savitri Era Party is happy that it's neither RW nor LW. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is an independent narrative and ideology in itself. Human uniqueness, autonomy, and freedom are the basic criteria.

[Who will come with me? Who will climb with me? incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/invitat…

I shudder at the mention of the word theorem, calculus, or algorithm! Hence calling them simple or beautiful is further intimidating. I would rather recall two lines from a poem by Sri Aurobindo:

Always our Captain holds the rudder well,

He does not sleep. incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/to-r

One of my favourite lines in Savitri is

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose, incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-ki…

Similar elsewhere

The tulip and rose are fierier and brighter, incarnateword.in/cwsa/2/the-spr…

Orchid, tulip and narcissus, rose and nenuphar and lotus, incarnateword.in/cwsa/02/in-the…

For Savitri Era Religion, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Therefore, Savitri Era Party requests not to compare them with other famous persons or gurus except academically.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I have been reading their writings since 1964. I have also acquired preliminary acquaintance with Western philosophy, for comparative analysis. As President of Savitri Era Party, I stress on the political relevance of their predictions.

Sri Aurobindo pointed out that Shankara tried to interpret Isha Upanishad according to his own predetermined philosophy. Present readers of Sri Aurobindo shouldn't commit the same mistake of understanding him according to their set ideologies. Devotion and open mind is essential.

We live in an interpreted world; narrative wars are in full swing. Modern knowledge is bewitching and bewildering, often blinding. Savitri Era lens clings to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for light. It's a multi-pronged endeavour: history, politics, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings may be rational and universal but each one would use it according to his or her personal situation and requirement. Further intellectual background matters a lot in understanding their intention. Devotional attitude too differs a great deal.

Sisir Kumar Maitra has noted that had he read The Life Divine in the Arya itself instead of when it came out as a book he would have been spared of the intellectual struggle he actually went through. Right reading material is important and Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) leads.

People derive a sense of stability from traditions and feel contented by perennial philosophy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo however rake up the ongoing evolution which will force change. SELF (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) prepare the field for it.

Hindi films were a major vehicle for popularising certain icons, but Sri Aurobindo was excluded. However, his vision of change and coming of a new age was a theme in many flms albeit with Marxist overtones. The underlying spiritual or mystic aspect was never explained explicitly.

The Life Divine has a long history as it originally began as a commentary on Isha Upanishad in 1902. Ten such drafts were written by Sri Aurobindo and in 1905, It was conceived as a series of course material for the students of the proposed Bhawani Mandir.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/17/part-t

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is Savitri Era Religion. It gives freedom from mythology and rituals. No burden of any intermediary institution or individual. No necessity of discussing their life history or philosophy. Surrender to them is vital.

Psychological and behavioural patterns propelling diverse economic or commercial activities form a part of academics now. But do they account for varied layers of consciousness The Mother & Sri Aurobindo point to? In a way yes. Because without their sanction nothing would happen.

Can I suspect that Ashoka was also like Saneev Sanyal in the inscriptions attributed to him?

Savitri Era Party professes an alternative ideology and narrative based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's future vision of which Colonialism is an integral part. Humanity is moving towards a #WorldUnion, as heralded by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto, on August 14, 1947.

Interesting to hear from Alok Pandey that even in spiritual organisations like the Ashram or Auroville, one may not get any promotion or pay-raise, but still there is the scope of being part of the management and moving up in the power corridor which is no different from outside.

Despite free availability of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books, educated people are reluctant to read them. Many intelligent persons complain of not understanding them. In such a situation, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the best option.

Thanks for your response. I will happy if you say that you are a part of Savitri Era Religion.

Arya, jointly edited by Sri Aurobindo and Paul Richard, The Mother's husband, came out on August 15, 1914. Sri Aurobindo started writing four new books in it: The Life Divine, The Secret of the Veda & Selected Hymns, Isha Upanishad, The Synthesis of Yoga. incarnateword.in/arya/01?dated=…

A list of sea beaches I have visited. Now, of course, the view of Hooghly from my fifth floor flat does the job. Though it's only a distributary, people lovingly call it Ganga and the water from the Himalayas flow through it. I have gone upto Srinagar, UK.

x.com/i/status/17233…

By following 800 handles I get to know diverse things which was impossible till recently. It also gives a sense of confidence that the world is safe with so many watchdogs and whistleblowers around. Yet I'm the only handle of my kind. Savitri Era means The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

I studied Science in the college, worked for a Commercial Bank for a living; and have been trying to understand Humanities after resigning from my job. All these fields are important. Integral education of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aspires to further enrich the formal education.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo talk about the ultimate governance of the Universe which is no different from the politics of the country or our domestic affairs. This can even be extended to the chaotic environment obtaining within the cells. What explains all these is consciousness.

MP Sinha, our Botany lecturer was once talking to us on politics in a rebellious tone. The next class was by Prof Ramji. Everyone is a communist in his young age but supports Congress later in life, he commented. That's the secret of Middle path. It's neither extremism nor dogma!

Vajpayee ensured that Advani doesn't become the Prime Minister. Similarly Modi is ensuring that no one from their party reaches the top post. He might resign after completion of twelve years which will throw the party into chaos. And the Janata Party smithereens tale will repeat.

Devotees of Savitri Era Religion negotiate a very clumsy and embarrassing situation in the absence of any legal or official recognition for their religion. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may be just historical figures for others, but they are the one Supreme Divine for the devotees.

Temples and Ashrams providing free or subsidised food along with the joy of collective eating is a big factor in domestic tourism. Periodical religious festivals and fairs also drive substantial participation by all sections of people. Savitri Era Religion ekes a different model.

https://x.com/i/status/2015732206199775494

Very intelligent and articulate know-alls crowd this space and some are really very peeved about why Sri Aurobindo is being mentioned on different occasions. They are so well-read that they can't accept something exists beyond their knowledge. They try to prove that he is nobody!

Vivekananda thought that pushing Ramakrishna would solve all problems. It didn't. Nehru thought pushing Gandhi is the best solution. He was proved wrong. Similarly, Marx, Lohia, Periyar, Ambedkar, and Savarkar were promoted, but in vain. Thus, Sri Aurobindo remains the only hope.

Discussion on puja is going on which is an unrecognisable creature in Bengal. It has so many forms and effects that confining it to any particular notion is absurd. The basic ritual of puja itself is a collage supposed to be a rebellion against the formless. But it's all useless.

What looks bogus today becomes a reality tomorrow

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Savitri Era in 2026 savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/01/savitr

https://x.com/i/status/2009598787568935094

I have seen Bank nationalisation and later their privatisation. I have heard of population explosion and now measures to increase it. I have seen campaigns against colour TV and computers and now phones are in every hand. Similarly Sri Aurobindo's day will come of its own accord.

It is difficult for most today to understand how Indian Express and Arun Shourie fought against the might of Indira Gandhi during our college days. Shourie was the one sun then to illumine the conscience of the entire nation. Singlehandedly, he changed course of nation's history.

Even infrastructure has religious benchmarks! x.com/i/status/20095…

Savitri Era Party demands that public institutions and roads shouldn't be named after different persons to avoid influencing objective judgement by history. Similarly, trains should be known by numbers and places instead of ornamental names or persons. Democratic norms essential.

Savitri Era Religion is a reminder for surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present as the one Supreme Divine. This is the safest and surest way for transformation of human nature and formation of an ideal society. Their grace is essential for evolutionary push.

Savitri Era Religion encourages to worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine without any reliance on institutions or rituals. Each person has to start from his or her own level of understanding, and it is a unique journey within one's own limited circumstances.

The Prime Minister is at the Somnath Temple. He should show the same level of concern for Matrimandir at Auroville by returning its ownership and administration to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, scattered all over the globe. My devotion is as important as your faith.

Hindutva exponents love to freeze Sri Aurobindo in 1909 at Uttarpara. They are not bothered about The Mother or Sri Aurobindo Ashram established in 1926, a century ago. They don't recognise his epochal #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947 over AIR, Tiruchirappalli.

Aspiration for a better socity and noble mentality is a must but surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is an essential condition. This is the primary emphasis of Savitri Era Religion. No other formula has the potential of being successful in this evolutionary scheme of things.

I don't practice any kind of discipline consciously nor perform any ritual. Hence I conceive Savitri Era Religion to play down the element of yoga by clinging to surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present as the one Supreme Divine. Seeking their grace is vital. 

Savitri Era Religion is intended to worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seek their grace without the burden of reading and understanding their complex philosophy or practicing the complicated system of yoga. No institution or ritual is required.

I have been reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings since 1964 and have participated in many devotional and organisational activities related to them. However my discomfort with Hinduism after Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 led me to establish Savitri Era Religion in 2006.

Sri Aurobindo challenged Darwin, Spencer, Marx, Nietzsche, Bergson, Freud, et al with a very simple logic. What's the source and energy of your upward evolution or social revolution, he asked. Thus he explained how the Divine principle is already involved which unfolds gradually.

The juvenility of Hindutva enthusiasts is absolutely amusing. For them, Sri Aurobindo is all about Uttarpara. That one sentence is all what they need and can understand! But they should travel to Tiruchirappalli from where the #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo was broadcast.

Sri Aurobindo becomes a new Sri Aurobindo after his meeting with The Mother on March 29, 1914. They are the one Supreme Divine who are always present and the future evolution is in their hands. Savitri Era Party, therefore, rejects hollow optimism of AAP, BJP, Left, and Congress.

Odia ଓଡିଆ has the rounded, most beautiful script among all Indian languages. It retains Schwa and the pronunciation perfectly matches what is written. It doesn't have the obfuscating gender difference of inanimate objects and abstract notions like Hindi. Time to recognise these.

I have been canvassing for granting of Sovereignty to the States under a loose Federation so that each language attains its full potential. Nationality, like in Europe, is language.

I link it to Sri Aurobindo's dream of #WorldUnion.

It would be wrong to confine Sri Aurobindo to India only. In his mature works he talks about #WorldUnion and human unity.

#WorldUnion is not unitary; it's federal.

The basis of Sri Aurobindo's thesis is that what looks bogus today becomes a reality tomorrow through the process of evolution. Like the monkeys never imagined anything other than them!

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.
