They never claimed success nor relinquished hope

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From June 1, 2026 to June 6, 2026)

Quitting my job of a Bank officer in 2000, I launched Savitri Era Learning Forum in 2005 for spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At 70, I look back with satisfaction how people are unable to appreciate their greatness, significance, or relevance. So, a lot to do!

Media regularly reports success stories but assuming that the same can be replicated by others is an illusion. The ontological ubiquitousness of a unique individual can't be overshadowed by patterns or preexisting templates. A surprise element therefore always lurks in the wings.

Sri Aurobindo had a lifelong engagement with poetry and literature. From Homer to Dante and Milton to Whitman, it was a vast sweep consummating with Valmiki, Vyasa, and Kalidasa. The light and delight of all these streams were distilled for writing Savitri as an ode to The Mother. 

Comte’s Religion of Humanity influenced Bankim who fused it with Keshub Chandra Sen's Bhakti and Naba Bidhan to craft Anushilan. Sri Aurobindo's Integral yoga flows from it and also his chapter on Religion of Humanity. Tagore further modifies this in his Religion of Man lectures.

Savitri Era Religion requires worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their love, compassion, and grace. This is absolutely voluntary and free from the tyranny of any mythology, rituals, or fixed practice. Reading their books is also optional.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo validates itself on an elegant logic of evolutionary inevitability. It's like the simple fact that if I catch Shantipur Local I will reach Shantipur within an hour and a half. Jonathan Livingston Seagull paints this tension beautifully. 

New parties are being launched, but Savitri Era Party (2007) is confident of introducing new politics in the country on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary philosophy. Establishing an egalitarian atmosphere by abolishing all kinds of reservations is one target.

This User name business inaugurated a new era of deception. Fake profiles and bios became the order of the day. Enticing DPs turned a success formula. Of course, make-ups enable to put up a false appearance, which is accepted as culture. In that sense, this legitimacy is age-old!

Sri Aurobindo started publishing his writings in 1893. Thereafter, he wrote in different phases from which several authoritative books appeared. The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo consists of 36 volumes: incarnateword.in/cwsa. Besides, Collected Works of the Mother are there.

The genesis of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, a hundred years back ploughed through many complex and ambiguous circumstances. Identifying her as the Divine Mother was not a very welcoming situation nor was putting her in charge of all day-to-day affairs and spiritual guidance.

Savitri Era Religion recommends worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine instead of bothering about the modalities of Integral yoga. Reading books is also not mandatory. It's the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of mythology or rituals. 

Commenting on international affairs and geopolitical speculation is an addition. Signalling that you are among the handful of top intelligent persons on the planet is absolutely gratifying. It's assured that no one is going to follow your recommendations nor check their efficacy.

It's heartening to observe that multi-party democracy is having a free-play in our country. Media too is diverse, multi-layered, and financially viable. But lack of any ideological-glue privileges charisma and oratory. Savitri Era Party is dedicated to Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started the Ashram as a laboratory for eradicating human imperfection by transformation of nature through application of higher consciousness. They never claimed success nor relinquished hope. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine.

New knowledge yoked with a robust ethical paradigm

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 26, 2026 to May 31, 2026)

Consulting Sri Aurobindo might throw some light.

https://x.com/i/status/2059139333211521126

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings are the most authentic and relevant on many scores. They are not very popular because general education system has been keeping them aside. Further, most intellectuals are unaware of their worth. So self-study is best. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Gadkari was the president and once Amit Shah was sitting on a bench outside his room to meet him, in front of me.

AI has discovered that our thoughts and emotions are not private. They come from outside which ratifies Sri Aurobindo's view. So the primary template can be computed from which our ongoing recipes take shape. Accordingly robots are going to give us company in many facets of life.

Savitri Era Religion entails worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, so that one can make sense of the world with precision, from that fixed point. Any external affinity is liable to destabilise that equilibrium and introduce purblindness. Caveat emptor!

Savitri Era Party (2007) believes that, following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for many of our problems. A firm ontological understanding of our surroundings is a basic requirement. Further, a corresponding ethical compass is an indispensable tool. #FiveDreams

Politics doesn't mean publicity, although it can sustain for a while. Most parties are experiencing a decline due to lack of any definite ideology. The Life Divine constitutes the highest political ideal for humanity. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo amounts to collaboration.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals because Sri Aurobindo has denoted Vedic deities as psychological principles in his epochal, The Secret of the Veda. It also dovetails perfectly with his thesis of adventure of consciousness, as delineated in The Life Divine.

Janata Party hasn't lost charm, but witnessing the years leading to its formation was a great experience. Had attended the founding conference of BLD (People’s Party of India) at Bhubaneswar which later merged into Janata Party. Its symbol was adapted fom that of the Pragati Dal.

All kinds of music is popular in West Bengal except Odia. It's unfortunate that people are unaware of the great classics of Sandhya Mukherjee, Nirmala Mishra, Sipra Basu, and Aarati Mukherjee, et al. though the language is not very difficult to understand.

It will be too early to bracket the present incumbent with the other two. I think, he is different and hints at basic incongruities.

Insights from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can enhance the relevance of these observations in a great way.

Using Sri Aurobindo for justifying Hindutva smacks of ignorance. Selectively quoting from his Uttarpara speech turns the entire project of his life into its opposite. Savitri Era Party (2007) stands for human unity and harmony based on his #FiveDreamsManifesto of August 14, 1947.

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been harping on not to mortgage your intelligence to the deceptive propaganda of various political parties, since 2005. Instead of following logic and sanity, young people are ready to follow the anarchic model of insects!

Modi-devotees continue to misrepresent The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform, misguiding people in general. Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) are doing their best to fight this menace. Ultimately, the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will win.

Sri Aurobindo has to be understood and appreciated through the process of elimination. Not Gandhi nor Nehru. Not Vivekananda nor Tagore. Not Subhas nor M.N. Roy. Not Radhakrishnan nor Periyar. Not Ambedkar nor Savarkar. Not Lohia nor Deendayal. Not Ram Swarup, nor Sita Ram Goel.

Best thing of this platform is character limit. Half my time goes in squeezing thoughts. Metro stations are being renamed, but there should be a character limit. Otherwise, they become jokes. #YouTube is imposing multiple ads for 10-15 minutes for listening to a 2-3 minutes song.

Socio-political issues are multiplying but the Parliament is totally aloof. Judiciary is grappling with many issues but it has limits. Media chases TRP and experts are rarely consulted. If democracy can't handle finding solutions to problems through discussion, then it's in vain.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent new light and knowledge, new vision and consciousness, new compassion and grace. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine can transform our lives, and spread harmony in the society. Let's collaborate with the evolutionary march of the earth.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo give us new knowledge yoked with a robust ethical paradigm. It's a great synthesis with roots in diverse streams. But the crucial feature is The Mother's grace, which is activated by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion.

Sri Aurobindo has some social commentary type writings which he did at various points of time. They are stray comments and have own contexts, but shouldn't be taken seriously. Reading The Life Divine and The Secret of the Veda is essential. All else should be seen in their light.

Savitri Era Religion discards mythology and rituals. It doesn't recommend any fixed system of yoga. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, without any connection with other religions or philosophies, is essential. Aspiration for their grace is the task.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo never promised any miracle. Their philosophy and psychology are thoroughly theoretical without the promise of any assured result. Their work is subject to evolutionary exigencies and machinations of ignorance. Our job is to believe in them with loyalty.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, CJP, and Congress. It believes that the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will unfold, inevitably. Therefore, it is not much concerned about ground level visibility. Ensuring ideological accuracy is more important.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been taking baby-steps for building a community of people interested in spirituality and yoga, hundred years back. The Arya writings are there but a way has to be found for translating the philosophy into reality. 15.8.1926: incarnateword.in/compilations/s

Sri Aurobindo launched a massive narrative war in 1914 by publishing The Secret of the Veda in a monthly magazine. But neither LW nor RW feel the call to understand the epochal significance of his symbolic interpretations with implications for history, literature, and archeology.

Significance of Flowers by The Mother is a great guide

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 21, 2026 to May 25, 2026) 

Plays and movies have the unenviable task of translating philosophy into concrete human drama. They have to have a careful eye for blending right doses of nine rasas to entertain successfully. Highlighting good against a contrast is a challenge. Besides sub-texts are a minefield.

With seventy long years of experience in life in diverse circumstances, I don't claim to have any settled views. Postmodernism gifted me that perspective and hence I don't recommend to take The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings as self-evident truth. Worshipping them is constant.

Before Camus resurrecting Sisyphus, Schiller had invoked Tantalus as if they are the warp and woof of human condition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, by contrast, expect higher consciousness transforming infirmities. Their own Messianic role, however, is a crucial element. Take it... 

Authpur (actually, আতপুর or Atpur) has Athpur Sub Post Office-743128. It falls under Jagaddal Police Station, Jagaddal Assembly Constituency, Bhatpara Municipality, Barrackpore Lok Sabha Constituency, North 24 Parganas District, West Bengal. Nearest Railway station is Shyamnagar.

Mohapatra Nilamani Sahoo ମହାପାତ୍ର ନୀଳମଣି ସାହୁ (22 December 1926–25 June 2016) is a respected name in Odia literature. He was also an ardent devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as well as a perceptive student of their philosophy, yoga, and Integral education throughout his life.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, CJP, & the Congress for the simple reason that they lack ideology and ethics. Many are clamouring that economic issues are fundamental but the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo teaches that deeper evolutionary causes are there.

Just remembered that, I had watched a movie called Melody at Gadag, while touring Karnataka in 2015. Couldn't understand the dialogue but music and picturisation was nice. Rajesh Krishnan was the lead actor and playback singer whose real-life was depicted.

Without framing it as before or after, Sri Aurobindo would offer an Integral view of consciousness, around the same time.

But both agree on the evolutionary possibilities, I suppose.

https://x.com/i/status/2056794046375526592

The Chief Justice has said that the Constitution is our shared home and belongs to everyone. But why are its core values flouted more than abided by? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore insist on the bedrock of spirituality. Significance of Flowers by The Mother is a great guide. 

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been demanding abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution of India. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for ushering in human unity and world peace. #FiveDreamsManifesto

After five years of his famous Uttarpara speech Sri Aurobindo started publishing his most ambitious book in a serial form in the Arya monthly magazine. Apart from The Life Divine a few others like The Synthesis of Yoga, The Secret of the Veda, & The Human Cycle were also started.

Savitri Era Party expects people to be conscious and proactive, instead of being used as herds by different political parties and religious or cultural organisations. Liberty is futile without agency. Educated people not being able to appreciate Sri Aurobindo is a colossal error.

Absolutely amazing that highly politically-conscious intellectuals are eager to put their money with fly-by-night operators in search of quick-fix solutions. Like carnivals, anarchist tendencies have their own attraction, but the costs may be quite considerable. Restraint needed. 

Mamata Banerjee can be said to be the most experienced politician in the country today. Those who have seen her at every protest as an irreverent voice know how arduous has been her long journey. Her popularity is still intact and can propel her to the logical slot at the Centre.

I understand your sentiment but she still commands 40 percent vote share. I was hinting at a possible leading role for her at the Centre since there is a vacuum in the opposition space. Whatever her shortcomings, there is no doubt that she is a seasoned leader with Left leanings.

That seems to be obvious but may be a blessings in disguise too. Not many people have a national recognition or appeal today, but she can generate instant following on several fronts. Muslims, women, workers, farmers, and far too many far-flung constituents can kick her upstairs.

Like Vastu, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo value balance and harmony. That doesn't mean they rule out upheavals but take them as a means for achieving the greater good. Thus, aspiration for concord and not anarchy is important. But that shouldn't be a pretext for dumbing down people.

Sri Aurobindo predicted #WorldUnion as a part of #FiveDreamsManifesto, but his followers generally talk about it in an abstract manner. Politics involves ground, and with this aim in view, I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007 so that this evolutionary possibility takes shape.

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 2005. No other person or institution is involved with this activity, spanning over two decades. I have not received any funding or sponsorship, from any source.

Each person has a unique trajectory in life and accordingly carries a particular understanding of it. Commenting on the behaviour of other persons or generalising interpersonal situations, therefore, is prone to error. From the spiritual perspective, each one is playing his role.

With Sputnik, space age began two years after I was born and Yuri Gagarin became the first space traveller in another four years. Those were the times and Nehru was not the only person for advocating scientific temper. Defending Modernity, therefore, is an ongoing political task.

Integral education is not about schools and colleges alone. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent lifelong learning. Physical world survives due to high degree of economy, adaptation, and resilience. Our different faculties should imbibe similar capabilities on a continuous basis.

One handle lamented that her parents didn't teach her agency. Then the story took a new turn everyday. Since evidence was tampered with generously her photographs were tampered with with renewed glee. She has been consigned to flames but now it's difficult to know how she looked!

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case created sensation last year. It's surprising that the cause of Air India crash in Ahmedabad remains shrouded in mystery even after one year. Eliminating Chandranath Rath buried many dark secrets of which there would be many political beneficiaries.

LPG, Onida, and Malli mala

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 17, 2026 to May 20, 2026)

I would have retired in 2016 but took VRS from PNB in 2000 and started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 for spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Realising their broader relevance, later, I launched Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007).

Observing that Hindutva bandwagon is trying to appropriate Sri Aurobindo, I have been endeavoring to give the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo a distinct identity and orientation. Tending two dozen allied blogs apart from this handle keeps me busy and gives much satisfaction.

When I brought home an Onida FST 21 with Remote control in 1989, it was really a moment of pride.

https://x.com/i/status/2055883622595662039

Web exposes to such multifarious streams that it's difficult for anyone to choose or select. Further, books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not easy to read. Hence Savitri Era Religion makes it more accessible through worshipping them as the Supreme plus devotion and surrender.

Since 1991, we were given to understand that thanks to LPG, India is on a continuous growth-path. But after thirty five years, it's being indicated that the LPG crisis is only the tip of an iceberg. So, the free-Market route has no surety. Then, why blame Socialism day and night?

Through their extensive writings and commentaries, the direct disciples of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have charted out the relevance of their diverse aspects. So not much confusion there as to who was on which side of their epochal evolutionary revolution.

incarnateword.in/other-authors

From the kind of crimes and deceptions we read, it can easily be concluded that human suffering is real despite religion, philosophy, spirituality, politics, education, or art and culture. This is a sad commentary on human civilisation. Amazing that it's a profession for so many!

I am curious to know whether your endorsement is just rhetorical or backed by some competence and comparison. Providing a few details would certainly interest other potential readers. Thanks.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide the most advanced philosophical formulation propelled by their own spiritual powers. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent, is what's expected of us all.

Once I read that minor latest incidents cause more sorrow than major past tragedies. Similarly, while current happenings trigger outrage or analysis, tons of despicable measures sedimented under the garb of tradition, religion, food, or even medicine safely continue their regime.

Another secret of happiness is marketing. Directly or indirectly, it puts you in a relationship with the other. Any kind of advocacy imparts a sense of superiority and signals ethics. This accrues from almost nothing. That's why so many are avidly pursuing SM universities career.

I was in college from 1971 to 1976, and Bollywood was a parallel college. Plays of Vijay Tendulkar and others also provided intellectual stimulation. Political situation in the country was extremely volatile. However, many intellectuals in Odisha used to recommend Sri Aurobindo.

Although Sri Aurobindo was involved in various political activities of his time and commented on diverse subjects, Savitri Era Party prefers to be guided by his #FiveDreamsManifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947. Instead of an India-centric focus, universalist approach is pushed.

Savitri Era Religion is the religion of the future. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, without the burden of any mythology or ritual, is a great advantage. Further, a robust metaphysics and psychological scaffolding are intrinsic to the formulation.

Savitri Era Party opposes AAP, BJP, and Congress. The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is widely different from Hindutva, which is patently anti-evolutionary. Besides, the functioning of the current Prime Minister is full of deception, theatrics, and lack of transparency.

Jokingly, or otherwise, a majority of the comments try to highlight as if India is a direct match between Modi and Rahul Gandhi, and nobody else matters. Reducing our vast country to such a simplistic binary may be shrewd, but symptomatic of a gigantic shallowness and hollowness.

Declaration of Emergency in 1975 has broken the backbone of Indian democracy. What was considered excess then is totally normalised at present. People have resigned to hero-worship. Savitri Era Party is confident that true democratic spirit will awaken by following Sri Aurobindo.

It's not that only the judges should embody the Constitution. Each citizen of India has the moral duty of imbibing the lofty principles enshrined in it. It's by eschewing sectarian stances that the spirit of Constitution can be lived. Savitri Era Party seeks to realise this goal.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram is 100 years old. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo took a lot of pains for building it from the scratch. But the basic principles were relaxed when Auroville was conceived. However a community isn't an essential feature of their philosophy. Rather individual is key. 

Since we worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, we don't hold much respect for most of their famous contemporaries. Savitri Era Religion is the only recourse for solution to all human problems. Understanding the evolutionary philosophy behind it is crucial.

As Founder of Savitri Era Religion, I have been discouraging Sanskrit, Ayurveda, Astrology, Mythology, and Rituals. Too much of involvement with psychological states relating to spirituality and yoga also doesn't gel with a modern environment. No restriction on lifestyle choices.

Those who are commenting on Sri Aurobindo should be sensitive to his intention. How he wanted to be perceived or remembered in his mature years should be the right approach in presenting him. Besides, The Mother's factor is an important dimension. All these things are documented.

Who has written Malli mala Shyamaku debi?

Hindutva, Pravda, and Oligarchy

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 13, 2026 to May 16, 2026)

Persecuting an intellectual is unusual for a modern environment. Discourse is the foundation of human civilisation, and each one is entitled to his opinion. Savitri Era Party believes that everyone is evolving and therefore disabusing them or weaning them away should be the task.

In any kind of discussion, philosophical or secular, a concept of god lurks as a presupposition. Usually, it's the dominant religion of the land. Be it a doctor, a judge, or a police, none is free from its influence. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives the right orientation.

Right now, I am following over one thousand handles, but most of them spend time with current affairs. Inclination towards philosophy is almost nonexistent. Prejudice against the West and the Left seems to be a dominant reason. But consulting Sri Aurobindo can remedy this malady.

My namesake, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta is again trying to convince the Supreme Court today that religious feelings of even one person is beyond the purview of judicial scrutiny. Let's hope that his arguments are fruitful so that Savitri Era Religion is accorded legal status.

Many still prefer the coinage Sri Aurobindonian by Amal Kiran, although Sri Aurobindian is more handy and accurate. Examples like Adornian, relating to Theodor Adorno or Vichean, relating to Giambattista Vico prove the point. Further, writing The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is better.

As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), let me clarify that, conceiving The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine has been formulated by me without any explicit backing from their philosophy. It has the advantage of not being dependent on any other text or religion.

One may or may not choose to be religious, but religion never leaves him. It is always there within and without. It can be perceived as aesthetic experience or even professional satisfaction. Ambition itself is a sign of rising high in consciousness or aspiration for Immortality.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry and Auroville feature prominently in South India tourist circuit, as a result of which dedicated engagement with Sri Aurobindo's philosophy rarely happens. Besides, public intellectuals and media blacking him out ensures undermining his relevance.

Analogical arguments are underway in the Supreme Court for anulling the S.P. Mittal, 1982 verdict of defining a religion, apropos of Sabarimala Review.

https://x.com/i/status/2054821689402458414

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their grace is the only thing we are capable of. Rest is their concern. All that is happening is as per their wish. Some may appear as good while others not. But the evolutionary intention is infallible.

Hindutva block was in opposition for too long but has been in power for quite some time now. But their approach towards criticism hasn't changed. Accepting that criticism is a valid activity in a multi-party democracy is difficult for them. Reminds us of Pravda in erstwhile USSR.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have left behind a vast amount of philosophical writings which are yet to be a part of general education. It's only through self-effort that one may benefit from them. They are available online along with a lot of other resources incarnateword.in/cwsa

Many people fulminate against worshipping human gods although they are comfortable with mythological or fictional ones with astounding narratives and superstitions. Savitri Era Religion seeks to usher in a rational environment by worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as supreme.

Although devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo abound in other platforms, their number here is almost negligible. It indicates the fiercely competitive and largely cerebral nature of discourse here. If old religions are still doing propaganda, why shouldn't Savitri Era Religion?

A galaxy of top writers, poets, and political leaders in Odisha in the 1960s had inspired us deep into the evolutionary philosophy and prophecy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Their relevance is intact today although the overall intellectual scenario is gigantically more confusing. 

The Party decides and the Govt implements. The party, obviously, uses multiple internal forums for building consensus over contentious matters or innovative measures. Transparency leads to public debates and opposition responses. RSS and BJP seem to be oblivious of such niceties.

More than a century ago, Robert Michels, in his book Political Parties (1911), had formulated the iron law of oligarchy to show how organisations degenerate. Can hardly be disputed but Savitri Era Party believes that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can bring in a sea-change.

To whomever it may concern: This is to announce the happy news that my younger daughter has just been appointed as an Assistant Professor, Philosophy in St. Stephen's College, Delhi where she has been teaching for the last fourteen years on an ad-hoc basis. 

As a coincidence, Prof. Susan Elias, a computer scientist, has been appointed as the 14th principal of St. Stephen's College, Delhi. She will be the first woman in such a position in the 145-year history of the College, known for its excellence in humanities and the liberal arts.

As expected, the appointment of the Principal has run into rough weather, with Delhi University throwing a spanner. My daughter's joining as Assistant Professor, similarly, has also been put under a stay by the Delhi High Court today. Let's hope, justice is done to all concerned!

My posts have negligible reach, but they form a record for the future. The way commenting on Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is a free for all, the situation will exacerbate in the times to come. Then, AI will come to the rescue for setting the records straight. Right info is power.

Indians weren't expected to develop political consciousness before Independence. Some rebelliousness had developed during Bengal division. Congress politics was based on selflessness and sacrifice for the truth. But now politics has become on-payment basis in the corporate style.

It would be more true to say that industrialists partly own political parties. Govts accordingly run for furthering corporate interests. Nothing wrong. After all it's all geared for the economy of the country. But things are much deeper which an ordinary person like me won't know. 

Tamil Nadu electing a new Chief Minister is an alarm bell for Indian democracy. Media and technology have acquired immense power for subverting democracy. Manipulating minds has become the most potent formula. Savitri Era Party (2007) is confident that this trend can be reversed.

Since everyone is midway, no one can be an expert on life. Further, everyone is a patient and trying to cope. Books tell of the past and hence may not help. As each one is unique, the problem he faces is also unique. So, the solution is to surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Being born and brought up in a village in Odisha, I am well aware of the huge progress that has taken place during the last seventy years. Thus blaming some ideology or political leader is wrong. The psychology of the people and the mythological atmosphere has more to do with it.

Alok Pandey wrote it beautifully. 

[we navigate through the flow of Time thinking we are rowing the boat whereas actually it is being carried by the Unseen Power...Songs of the Soul: May 16, 2026 auromaa.org/daily-offering…]

If that's the approach, then one doesn't regret for anything.

No prototype for living a perfect life

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 9, 2026 to May 12, 2026)

Savitri Era Party values Democracy and Modernity and hence is against Mythological or Monarchical model of polity. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent the best of the East and the West and therefore following them ensures right ethical perspective based on evolutionary paradigm.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy rebelled against idol worship and empty rituals. The story of his life is an inspiration for every Indian. We are all beneficiaries of his intellectual revolution and the Renaissance that ensued. Even Emerson praised him for the new thought that he set to flow.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine without any mythology or rituals is the revolutionary framework of Savitri Era Religion (2006). The evolutionary philosophy of The Life Divine and The Secret of the Veda drives this epochal physics of consciousness.

Election symbols and Party flags are subversive of democracy. Election campaigns lend legitimacy to spectacle or carnival but appeal to irrationality is the very negation Modernity. Savitri Era Party follows Sri Aurobindo. Cutting down ceremonials would be in the interest of all.

Mamata's base is almost intact and if anti-BJP votes were not divided, she would have won. But, like in Odisha, her long tenure had to end. Thus, chest-thumping is undeserved. However, the real democratic upsurge happens in TN but impasse in Govt formation robbed away the credit.

Savitri Era Party has been resisting appropriation of Sri Aurobindo by Hindutva outfits since 2007. Mentioning Sri Aurobindo without invoking The Mother is meaningless and misleading since they are the one Supreme Divine. Comparing him with other famous persons is also fruitless.

Mamata appeals for anti-BJP forces uniting. It continues in many ways, but the most crucial element is ideology. BJP is changing like a chameleon and adopting rainbow colours. That's, perhaps, inevitable due to demography. But Savitri Era Party follows Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

It's unfortunate that an Imperial or religious system like oath-taking has turned a key part of democracy. Constitution endorsing it is regressive and anachronistic. Everyone loves a costume drama but the modern approach should be different. Why undergo a fancy dress competition?

Many people are signalling erudition by mentioning Sri Aurobindo without reading any of his books. Hindutva adherents are trying to appropriate him by selectively quoting him. Others are talking about intricacies of Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion worships him and The Mother.

There are many scholars who explain The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and literature in different forums but it should be taken as their personal opinion, because the subject is so vast that there is every possibility of an error or misrepresentation entering a perspective.

Neither Supreme Court nor Enclave deliberations can decide the tenor of future religions. It's not for nothing that Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine. Any other formulation or amalgamation can never be equal to it. Savitri Era Religion is the only way for evolutionary progress.

Since there is no firm prototype for living a perfect life, one's own background or culture imparts an extremely limiting influence. The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, on the contrary, is addressed to each person, regardless of their geography, nationality, or religion.

Tussle between Secular-liberal and Hindutva worldviews is a continuous affair but Savitri Era Party (2007) offers an alternative perspective based on the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Without reading The Life Divine and The Secret of the Veda, one can't understand it.

All ideological or philosophical questions get automatically devalued whenever economic issues surface. Whether to buy gold or not, however, has more philosophical repercussions than merely economic. Gold is like Brahman of which the paper money functions like the apparent world.

Savitri Era Religion (2006) encourages worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine without the compulsion of practicing any rigid system of yoga. Voluntary or spontaneous love, devotion, loyalty, gratitude, and surrender to them are basic necessary attitudes.

Tamil Nadu is an advanced State and home to a very intelligent people. But electing a film star as Chief Minister is the very antithesis of Democracy. Our Constitution lacks checks and balances for preventing such anomalies. Social media unfortunately fails to promote good people. 

The Life Divine was heralded on August 15, 1914. It has transformed the intellectual landscape to some extent, but its "volcanic" effect is yet to unfold. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have integrated life with spirituality without any exclusiveness. Many have copied their wrapping but the content is spurious. Further, there is no shortcut; reading their books is essential. The orientation will come on its own. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Savitri Era Party (2007) is unhappy with the present form of politics although an overwhelmingly large section endorses the current dispensation. The so called Indian values or traditional knowledge systems are a sham. Modernity as distilled from Western and Christian crux safer.

Power in a democracy is temporary and hence assuming that the ruling party is following the path of truth is mistaken. Philosophy is the right arena to judge things dispassionately. Savitri Era Party (2007) owes allegiance to the evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

TV and Internet have transformed the society beyond recognition, especially women. The cosmopolitan approach prevailing in Metropolitan cities earlier is available in every home now, irrespective of location. Thus, defining people under straight-jackets may not be very objective.

Finitude prevents a panoptic view of things although similar abilities can be claimed. What I perceive is that a certain taxonomic framework is assumed to be given or enduring while the current century has witnessed much disruption. If they are merely tangential, then it is fine.

Sure. Next tranche should lend more clarity.

Veda unveils the physics of consciousness

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 5, 2026 to May 8, 2026)

Rescuing Sri Aurobindo from the trivialisation of his Uttarpara speech on the one hand and transporting him to the remote spiritual planes on the other, is crucial for right appreciation of him. Further, looking at him in isolation without invoking The Mother is congenital error.

Sri Aurobindo wrote virtually till his last breath. Hence approaching him as he was in 1950 is more pertinent than in 1905, when he was beginning his public life. It's important to understand that The Mother gave him the identity and recognition for which he is revered worldwide.

Both Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are completely reliant on The Mother's grace before which all human machinations are fruitless. Intellectual awareness of Sri Aurobindo's epochal evolutionary theories, both political and philosophical, have a big role, nonetheless.

I always remember the rise and fall of Prafulla Kumar Mahanta.

https://x.com/i/status/2051707261219999852

Confining Sri Aurobindo to Uttarpara, West Bengal, or even India is myopic. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo belong to the whole universe and preside over the evolutionary march. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine in their three poises under Savitri Era Religion is the best way

I served PNB from 1977 to 2000 when I took VRS. P. L. Tandon wrote a book on it. Banking century: A short history of banking in India & the pioneer, Punjab National Bank by Prakash Tandon

https://x.com/i/status/2051716863269478670

Why only the opposition to do? Why not people, starting with the intellectuals themselves? Following Sri Aurobindo is the most viable alternative in the current circumstances and understanding this much shouldn't be difficult. Otherwise old ideologies won't be able to defeat BJP.

https://x.com/i/status/2051756143710753196

West Bengal is in focus, and around a dozen names are doing the rounds including, of course, Sri Aurobindo. So far so good, but many are absolutely in the dark about their ideological compatibility or philosophical utility. Nobody has any clue as to in which order to list them!

Pet narratives have their rosy teleologies and fond destinies. All are entitled to their dose of fiction and phantasy, but trajectory of evolution knows no compromise. Assuming that it is biased towards a select slice of geography, however, makes fine stuff for anodyne lullabies.

Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, and the Congress. It believes in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, as encapsulated in the #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947. They are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion.

So, what's wrong with it? Is it undemocratic?

Savitri Era Party aspires for peace and harmony. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have assured that it's an evolutionary inevitability. So, following them, instead of any other party or personality, is the only sensible way. Worshipping them under Savitri Era Religion facilitates this.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written about higher or unseen regions of consciousness in detail and very realistically. But that doesn't mean that they are explicit and evident or can be accessed easily. Savitri Era Religion encourages to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.

Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively, but unlike his many contemporaries, he didn't take any firm or rigid stand on various burning issues. Ideologies come and ideologies go, but Sri Aurobindo remains as fresh and relevant as ever. He is always the best bet for nuance and perspective.

Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy said something very significant in his dissenting judgement in the Auroville case, 1982, but the majority verdict ruled otherwise. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are suffering injustice for 44 years but current Sabarimala hearings do raise hope.

BJP entering Bengal marks the beginning of the end of the young party. That's why I have said it's a double edged weapon. It has to grapple with multiple philosophies and plurality, which will clash with the monochromatic vision of the RSS. If internalised, it will turn Congress.

Since you are observing on generic issues, what should be an ideal template for a political party in a democracy? What kind of issues should it take up and whom would it ask for votes? What should be its USP to look different? Thanks.

AI lacks agency and awareness but the instant panoptic view it presents is a huge improvement over the present human capability. Further, the text matters since the Author is dead. Thus, from the Sri Aurobindian perspective, the mental realm, definitely, moves up by a few inches.

Sri Aurobindo was steeped in the noble spirit of Western culture and literature due to his education in England for fourteen long years. His discovery of India after his return in 1893 was almost equally long. Thereafter, he started writing in Bande Mataram heralding new thought.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started the Arya monthly magazine in 1914, in which his epochal books were published. The Life Divine established a new evolutionary theory for transformation of humanity, and The Secret of the Veda unveiled the physics of consciousness as its modality.

After Sri Aurobindo went into seclusion in 1926, his disciples used to ask questions in a note book in which he wrote his reply. This continued for many years and these letters have been compiled thematically in seven volumes like Letters on Poetry and Art incarnateword.in/cwsa/27

https://x.com/i/status/2052362664589091271

Recent election has shown how people are clinging to sundry icons. A film star has won, Mamata is still revered as a living-legend; Freedom fighters continue to inspire. All this points to the general propensity of hero-worship. Savitri Era Party, however, bets on Sri Aurobindo.

The only ideology political parties follow, diligently, is votes. As defections have become common, power is the only concern of politicians. Savitri Era Party (2007) is driven by the Vedic ethical paradigm of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and guided by the 1947 #FiveDreamsManifesto

Savitri Era Party has been opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress since 2007. Although it has no presence on the ground, it is the only ideological alternative to Hindutva, at the moment. While all other icons have already been harnessed, Sri Aurobindo is yet to be deployed as a magnet.

Now it's chiselling with 280

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (From May 1, 2026 to May 4, 2026)

I studied Science in college but had an abiding interest in the Humanities. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo too kept it aflame. From Cold War through Berlin Wall to 9/11 and Iran today, it has been a long journey. A Brief History of Time (1988) and The End of History (1992) are passé.

Savitri Era Religion encourages worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. They preside over the evolutionary march towards Supramental descent and Vedic Immortality.

Different organisations are running wellness camps, cultural programmes, etc. in the name of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but they shouldn't be taken, strictly, as a part of their teachings. Commercial and utilitarian aspects always run the risk of being hijacked by adverse forces.

Sri Aurobindo tells different things in different books. They are also addressed to different classes of people. Reconciling these therefore is not easy without deep study. Further, his approach in poetry is altogether different. So, those peddling quotations need to be cautious.

Auroville had been taken over by Govt due to some exigency which no longer exists. All are requested to put up a demand before the Govt to return Auroville back to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in terms of the dissenting judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy, 1982.

Thanks to the Bengal elections, Sri Aurobindo was being remembered frequently on this platform in different contexts. Now, that would be over. But the real task is to take him more seriously, and realise, why he gets acknowledged as the greatest philosopher and poet of the world.

Many political parties in India can trace their origin to Sri Aurobindo. Some others have close ideological association. The concept of an Ashram seems to be alien to politics but it is not, since an ideal model of collective living has been at the centre of all Utopian thinking.

There was no Internet then

Not many books to read either

So they worked with stone

Created sculptures

And built temples and forts.

I don't understand

What's so great about this

As so many go gaga over it

There have been many forms

Of man's creativity

Now it's chiselling with 280.

https://x.com/i/status/2050311061660954696

Sri Aurobindo is often clubbed with other great men from Bengal but his work along with The Mother is of a different tenor. At intellectual level, The Life Divine and Savitri by far are unparalleled. But at spiritual plane, transformation of physical consciousness was pioneering.

While in many respects some sections have imbibed things ultramodern or even postmodern, basic Modernity is still struggling to get established in our country. Some political parties are in the forefront for espousing modern values but others are trying to hinder. Resolve needed.

Local Centres have many publications which don't reach a wider audience. Sri Aurobindo and Hooghly and Smriti Tirtha document his brief stay in Bengal. Shraddha journal is a gem. Overman Foundation similarly has erected a formidable backlist over the years overmanfoundation.org/our-publicatio

RSS is trying to reform itself and refurbish its image abroad. While its record of providing an alternative worldview than Congress during the last 100 years is laudable its current fascination for dubious Savarkar or Ambedkar is flawed. Following Sri Aurobindo is the right path.

The tragic trajectory of Janata Party being formed by the merger of a dozen parties and then splintering into as many streams is well-known. Whether apparent or not the Hindutva bandwagon is undergoing a similar fissiparous tendency on account of internal ideological differences.

Success stories are appreciated by all, but the real success lies in the right navigation of life itself. Instead of narcissistic self-approval, consulting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best option. Many are against using superlatives but they are indispensable for right way.

AI provides accurate information in a second. So why speculation on such open topics? x.com/i/status/20346… Please frame your questions coherently and ask Google. Sri Aurobindo: His Life Unique. You can read this book online. incarnateword.in/other-authors/… 

https://x.com/i/status/2050567044954022210

Untouchability and Castes system are offshoots of menial work. Despite technological developments, social hierarchy on this basis is very much prevalent. The Mother introduced a new paradigm in Sri Aurobindo Ashram. How far can it be internalised by Modernity remains a challenge.

Savitri Era Religion (2006) has been in existence for two decades, in which worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the cardinal principle. Free of any Mythology or rituals, it glides with love, loyalty, gratitude, devotion, and surrender towards them.

Savitri Era Party (2007) continues to oppose Hindutva and the theatrical functioning style of Prime Minister Modi. It is also against all other parties for different reasons. It supports abolition of reservations so that a genuine egalitarian atmosphere takes root in the country.

Democracy runs in the Monarchical or Imperial lines. Elections are fought in the manner of wars. Savitri Era Party believes that change is possible. Citizens need to reclaim and regain their individualities. Decency, decorum, humility, respect, and tolerance have to be restored.

You are shaming yourself and your surname by writing the last line. Please delete if you can.

Too many people are trying to celebrate and take credit for the Bengal victory. People are forgetting that it's patently an anti-incumbency vote. There was no third force and BJP became the sole beneficiary. The same thing had happened in Odisha earlier. Further, TMC scored well.

I keep the probability of TMC winning at 75% and BJP at 25%. Democracy is suffering and Development is languishing under Mamata. A change will certainly be better, but she gives a strong resistance to Hindutva when most have failed. BJP win would mean a double-edged sword for it.

Hindutva is already facing confusion due to a series of revisionist stances of RSS. BJP win in West Bengal is going to multiply its challenges over grappling with plurality. It is not that Bengal is endorsing or embracing Hindutva. It is a purely anti-incumbency vote like Odisha.

Many are eager to invoke Sri Aurobindo at this juncture but it's undiluted conjecture. Further, Modified BJP is lightyears away from universalist outlook of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Party has been opposing appropriation of Sri Aurobindo by BJP ecosystem since 2007.

Regional politics, Caste based politics, & Personal charisma based politics are falling like house of cards. Thus it is apparent that robust ideology and affinity is needed for success in politics in future. Savitri Era Party has been emphasising Sri Aurobindo as the future icon.

It is so plain simple. Even BJP is publicly admitting that tactical transfer of the Left vote helped it.

I have defied The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by deifying them

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Being in the Social media, people have forgotten about decency and politeness. Democracy requires these qualities in huge quantity. Treating the other person as adversary has become very common. But the basic principle of Political science is to respect diverse shades of opinion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Parliament has become redundant due to spread of Internet. All are interested in LitFests, Conclaves, Podcasts, or Dialogues. Good for democracy but open discussion is a casualty. People fear opposing ideas. Instead of examining rival claims the tendency is to ignore like Ostrich #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion traces its origin to the first meeting between Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) & The Mother (1878-1973) in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. It regards them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were never very optimistic about morality since they felt being part of the rational domain, it's liable to fail at crucial junctures. Their stress is on spirituality, i.e., rising to a higher level of consciousness. Surpassing ethics is another option. #TusarNathMohapatra

Sri Aurobindo was just twenty when he started advising the then veteran Congress leaders through his writings in the Indu Prakash. His political insights right from the beginning were so extraordinary. Even the British were hard pressed in finding fault with his impeccable logic. #TusarNathMohapatra

Since all norms and ethics have been flouted in the current war, it's out in the open, how our civilisation is nothing but utter deception. Savitri Era Party reiterates that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for securing human unity and world peace. #FiveDreams #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met in Puducherry for the first time on March 29, 1914. It was a French colony, then. The whole mythology around this event undeniably makes Savitri Era Religion a global player. Conquest of death is a basic existential aspiration that Savitri voices. #TusarNathMohapatra

I don't think, the Constitution of India enjoins to read or be guided by any particular text. That's something really emancipatory given the social pressure built by various motivated groups to push their agenda. Extracting money through commerce becomes their ultimate intention. #TusarNathMohapatra

Civil society, Public sphere, or Open and free discourse are important elements in a democracy. This is not happening despite Communication and Technology. Savitri Era Party maintains that the nation, religion, or castes shouldn't override basic demands of democratic functioning. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is against all religions and Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to all other parties. That's how I have formulated The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance for the present without any ambivalence or hypocrisy. Seems blunt but precise for new generation. #TusarNathMohapatra

Integral yoga is basically for beginners. One feels confident by reading the meticulous instructions provided by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But by applying one aspect after another, one discovers that it's impossible to practice them, simultaneously. Hence, Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Despite high level of education, information, and communication, people are willingly espousing the views of the party, religion, or nation. Savitri Era Party has been persisting in spreading the just and rational standpoints by drawing insights from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Life Divine hasn't percolated to the general consciousness. I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 for this purpose. Launched Savitri Era Religion with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine in 2006. Set up Savitri Era Party in 2007 for #FiveDreams. #TusarNathMohapatra

Meeting of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914 was a profound geopolitical event. It's also not without significance that The Life Divine appeared in Arya monthly magazine coinciding with the period of the First World War. Need to understand the evolutionary intention. #TusarNathMohapatra

The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't aim at producing self-realised persons. It's a path for guidance in life from the young age to the old age. Since the needs at each stage of life is different, the manifold facets of their philosophical formulations come in handy. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother came from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. They started Arya on August 15, 1914 in which The Life Divine began to be published. Significantly the First World War also started the same month. Historians are yet to notice this important fact. #TusarNathMohapatra

When we see nations are fighting among themselves, and playing the game of war like school-boys; then it becomes evident how Savitri Era Religion is relevant. The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has in it the evolutionary force and light, which alone can administer peace. #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, at many places, have advised to transcend the ego. Many confuse it with pride. But the real task is not to organise life around oneself but to relate to others. This involvement with others can be said to be the genesis of politics and allied ethics. #TusarNathMohapatra

Political science has been evolving over the centuries and hence keeping abreast is important. Mythology has many merits but Modernity is much more demanding in terms of responding to diversity. Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, adjusts its sails. #TusarNathMohapatra

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational alternative. Crucial to reiterate that it facilitates the converts to be retained within the Vedic fold. Besides, it is in sync with science and psychology. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party maintains that castes are an aberration in modern India and hence should forfeit Constitutional sanction. Demands of realpolitik however prompt us to send overtures to the General castes to opt for Savitri Era Religion. A similar invitation to Dalits stands too. #TusarNathMohapatra

Without any demonstrable competence, I don't recommend yoga or spirituality. Young generation however should know that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and psychology are unsurpassable and intellectual assimilation of their metaphysical framework has a transforming effect. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion, no doubt, has global aspirations and the current war in Middle East makes it all the more relevant in view of The Mother's background from there. However, Savitri Era Party is unable to take sides since the way of evolution is so nebulous. We pray for peace! #TusarNathMohapatra

A radical shift occurs when art turns a profesion and a means for making money. Making a name is the next step and popularity proves to be a prison. Aesthetics therefore is forever in search of that liminal space where an iota extra makes medicine a poison. So proportion matters. #TusarNathMohapatra

The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo plumb the depths in so many directions that it's impossible to fathom their significance in any coherent manner. Seeking their grace at the outset therefore is an indispensable condition. This is the very premise of Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Marxist economic theories proved to be unreliable in the last century but Marxist thought continues to provide a robust scaffolding to Modernity. Though inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo Savitri Era Party espouses rational and verifiable propositions instead of occult domain #TusarNathMohapatra

Art to alphabet was a great stride for humanity and this platform facilitates instant worldwide communication. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have left behind a vast reservoir of writing of epochal nature. Sharing their message is the best way for resolving myriad problems facing us. #TusarNathMohapatra

As the greatest ever lover of humanity remains a stranger in his own country even in the age of Internet and AI, question arises about the efficacy of knowledge, information, and technology. If I could know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in a remote village in 1964, why others can't. #TusarNathMohapatra

Democracy is the greatest gift that the British gave us but it continues to be Colonial, Imperial, or Mythological in many respects. Some learned men are suggesting anointing religious heads for guiding people. Savitri Era Party opposes pre-Modern or extra-Constitutional notions. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hegel had watched Napoleon and its effect on him rendered his otherwise grand system of philosophy a bit clumsy by being tethered to history. Heidegger too had been carried away by Hitler. The Great Man effect is, indeed, very powerful. Reading Sri Aurobindo is the best antidote. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been demanding govt recognition to Savitri Era Religion (2006) so that Hindus and Dalits have a viable alternative in case they contemplate conversion. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine can retain them within Vedic fold. #TusarNathMohapatra

It's obvious that I have defied The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by deifying them under the Savitri Era Religion (2006). I also avoid the chapter and verse, literalist approach since I'm, basically, addressing outsiders who might be sharing my disenchantment with mythology and rituals. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hindutva exponents find in Nehru an easy whipping-boy for rendering secularisation but the whole Brahmo influence down to Tagore is conveniently overlooked. Needless to say that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo built on those foundations which prompted me to found Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo makes us understand that the Veda is not about analysis of the text or meticulous chanting. Knowing the inner meaning of a handful of terms can transform our whole perspective. Like Indra means mind which controls the five Indriyas. #TusarNathMohapatra

It feels demeaning for me at times to teach alphabet after a lifelong engagement with intellectuality but realisation dawns that there's no better privilege than what The Mother has bestowed on me. Billions of people don't know Sri Aurobindo and they needn't read The Life Divine. #TusarNathMohapatra

Devotees should ask themselves whether they are worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. If not, they are constantly deluding themselves as other ontologies are faulty. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity and world peace. Savitri Era Religion is the only solution for collaboration with evolution for descent of the Supramental consciousness and Vedic light, force, and Immortality. #FiveDreams #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era narrative is against imaginary past glory of India and allied themes like Ayurveda, Astrology, Mythology, Rituals, Sanskrit, Hindu chauvinism, Hindu Rashtra, & Monarchy. Savitri Era Party seeks to uphold democratic spirit and ethics on Sri Aurobindo's line of thought. #TusarNathMohapatra

I consciously avoid making petty comments or favourite pastimes like outraging or trolling. I'm seventy and unlike others have read The Life Divine. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have placed a huge responsibility on my shoulders. I try to carry it out despite existential constraints #TusarNathMohapatra

Auroville took birth today, in 1968, with much hope and aspiration. Sadly, what we see today is a complete negation. It is not supposed to be another satellite town, like Noida. There has to be some speciality and sanctity about the place. Who can do that? Who should decide that? #TusarNathMohapatra

Philosophy in its purity should be able to tell us the mystery of certain basic issues. The Abcd of Philosophy are our Aim, Birth, Choice, and Death. In The Mother and Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, we find a complete explanation of these phenomena issuing from an Integral ontology. #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Religion resists the challenge posed by Hindutva

 Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Some discussion on Sri Aurobindo was going on three-four years back due to his 150th Birth anniversary. It has dried up altogether. Funding has stopped, and so, Scholars have fallen silent. At the moment, no one has anything to do with Sri Aurobindo except our Copy-paste brigade.

Sabarimala hearing is throwing interesting arguments vis-à-vis religion. As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), I am offering justifications for it, although it is well known that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against starting any new religion. Legal recognition is a must.

Love, devotion, and loyalty towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo forms the right path in the present situation. Extraneous affiliations or sympathies can misguide. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party show how discarding dominant models of philosophy or politics is essential.

I'm a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1964; Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005), President, Savitri Era Party (2007), and Founder, Savitri Era Religion (2006): savitriera.blogspot.com. Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be kept confined to Uttarpara or Puducherry.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings blossomed in the last century, when modern and liberal ideals were valued. This century witnessed forceful challenge to the same orchestrated by Hindutva. Savitri Era Party (2007) continues its lone battle of opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't impose reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books or practicing Integral yoga. Love, devotion, and loyalty towards them, and seeking their grace and compassion by an attitude of surrender and gratitude is the only requirement. No mythology or rituals.

Turned out a nationwide election speech by the Prime Minister. So, the whole drama was conceived as a context for this speech. It's shameful that Prime Minister of India acts in such a deceitful manner. How this kind of deceptive step is supported by educated people is beyond me.

Despite doubtful prospects, asserting that our party is going to win comfortably is the most deceptive act by its leaders and supporters. Democracy forces such hypocrisy upon people leading to intellectual dishonesty. Once taken root corruption becomes common without compunction.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine warrants loss of respect for their famous contemporaries. They have their place in history or literature and culture but from the point of view of evolutionary trajectory many of them were obstacles like Subhas Bose

Being born and brought up in a village, I have first-hand experiences of poverty, deprivation, and superstitions. Therefore, I support modern and liberal values gifted by the West. As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since childhood, it's natural for me to oppose Hindutva.

Election campaign is on in West Bengal but I don't know why Gandhi is being drafted to Shyamnagar. Incidentally the Chief Justice today set the record straight on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. But can West Bengal accept it? I wish Sri Aurobindo adorned the pedestal at Power House!

A decent hold on Western philosophy is essential for grasping the true import of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Similarly acquaintance with Modern psychology facilitates understanding The Mother's framework of yoga. Integral education draws insights from all these disparate spheres.

Many have been misguided by Ram Swarup, Sita Ram Goel, Arun Shourie, Rajiv Malhotra et al. As President of Savitri Era Party (2007), I am confident that one day people will return to the real knowledge unveiled by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Impartiality and unselfishness needed.

Evil is intrinsic to any ontology, like death being an integral part of life. Similarly, crime can't be eradicated from any society and its diverse patterns may narrow down depending upon sample size. But assuming that the perpetrators belong to any specific religion is specious.

There are many miseries that can be ameliorated through sympathetic human effort. Political domain is basically that but partisanship and corruption hinder such motive. Still then all can't be blamed on human weakness. Evolutionary intention for perpetuating suffering responsible

I have met many people in life who are much more intelligent and well-read than me, but were not able to accept The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. This is because they didn't apply their intellect adequately owing to allegiance to attractions elsewhere. The same thing happens here also.

India is undergoing ideological flux and political vacuum. Savitri Era Party is confident that Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreamsManifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947 will catch imagination. His stellar role in Congress split in Surat in 1907, and Uttarpara speech of 1909 are crucial.

My posts don't reach even a hundred people but I have been telling something unique. I am the only person opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress. Further, I am presenting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in a revisionist mode by entangling them in religion and politics savitriera.blogspot.com

Any consideration on man or society needs to consult The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo, without fail. Bypassing the evolutionary view of the future is nothing but entering a blind alley. Sri Aurobindo added the last six chapters after a gap of two decades. incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/man-an…

No scholar dealing with India can afford to ignore Sri Aurobindo. His model of nationalism dovetailing with human unity and harmony is an inescapable vision, with evolutionary import. The Human Cycle examines examples from history for deciphering patterns. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25

Hindutva enthusiasts are always eager to appropriate Sri Aurobindo but skip spending time with his voluminous books. I have been warning that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't be amalgamated with any other philosophy or guru. Savitri Era Religion ensures that one stays the course.

There is no dearth of resources on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo online, today, but the problem of right orientation remains. Hindutva sticks to the Uttarpara speech while scholars emphasise on meditation and yoga. Some intellectuals keep on conflating him with sundry personalities.

Please take care to provide correct spelling for Proper nouns. Further, citing the source would be helpful.

"Ritual has become a hollow performance of excess," writes @milindbm, linking it to the rise of Hindutva. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, precisely, highlights this aspect, which is the root of hypocrisy. Sabarimala hearings should take note.

The Life Divine is the most profound religious book in the world. Its first chapter was published on August 15, 1914 in the monthly magazine Arya which continued till 1919. It appeared as a book during 1939-1940 after Sri Aurobindo revised and expanded it. incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-hu…

Savitri Era Religion (2006), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is the most modern and rational alternative. No mythology or rituals, no initiation ceremony.

The undulating journey towards the Life Divine

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Applying The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings to own life and surroundings can take various forms. Performative show of those connected with institutions can be warped. Similarly, advocacy assignments may engender exaggeration. My vantage point is past a rosy, romantic picture.

Congress banished Sri Aurobindo from curriculum. Therefore, many thought BJP to make amends and supported it. However, I have been warning against any compatibility between Hindutva and Sri Aurobindo. Now that BJP is trying to wriggle out of Hindutva, Savitri Era Party may rejig.

Integral yoga is personal but Savitri Era Religion (2006) is a collective identity. Each devotee has the responsibility to declare affiliation voluntarily so that new generation feels confident of finding value and security. Children of many devotees have drifted away after 1973.

I came to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo owing to a lot of hard work and sacrifice by the direct disciples. Thousands of devotees are engaged in the same spirit, today. Publicity is essential but lack of an identifiable brand is a huge lacuna. Savitri Era Religion is the answer.

I studied BSc,BEd with Botany honours in college along with Agriculture as vocational education and Statistics. For CAIIB exam in Punjab National Bank I studied Commercial Law, Banking, Foreign Exchange, Accountancy, and Economic Geography. I studied Western Philosophy on my own.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who preside over the evolutionary march is the new ontology of Savitri Era Religion. They represent East-West synthesis and human unity. Devoid of any mythology or ritual, it's the most modern and rational religion.

Savitri Era Party has the advantage of not eulogising India's imaginary, past glory nor denouncing Colonialism. It's not invested in various demographic groups for the sake of electoral politics. Owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it believes in a genuine fraternity.

Ashram, yoga, or spirituality on one side and difficult philosophical books on the other keep The Mother & Sri Aurobindo perpetually away from the people. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who preside over the evolutionary march, is the best way for seeking their grace.

A book on the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can sell better. Many controveries need to be documented and made a part of the modern history. The contributions of devotees in different States need to be remembered. Such a book may warrant translations in different languages.

That's perfect but as an author with such a long experience, you can attempt this professionally. You will discover that how their legacy is very much a part of their philosophy; the undulating journey towards the Life Divine.

The last section: Criticisms and Controversies

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasised how evolution as a primal force is driving us all towards a higher and sublimer consciousness. By unveiling its Divine origin, they aligned it with the Vedic exhortations for cosmic powers and principles. So aspiring to be a Brahmin is legit.

India has undergone various forms of political and economic changes but many aspects of rural life are still intact. Nothing much to do with religion, or any ideology, but a spontaneous preference for simplicity and austerity is very much evident. Can this be called spirituality?

The Mother is on her way to Puducherry in 1914 where she is going to meet Sri Aurobindo for the first time on March 29. A day of infinite significance for whole mankind. Epochal books like The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, and The Secret of the Veda take birth on August 15.

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is about worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005) provides an alternative narrative while Savitri Era Party (2007), a future vision based on their Integral philosophy and ideal of human unity.

Evolution of modern society out of the clutch of religion or feudalism should never be forgotten. Savitri Era Religion therefore doesn't assure any success in yoga or spirituality. Establishing a direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo depends entirely on the devotee.

These days the propensity is to curse instead of welcoming fresh discourse. Ideas and affirmations should provide ideal opportunities for refutation with adequate substantiation. But ad hominem attack is the order of the day. Morality on this score, therefore, is sorely required.

Are people so ideologically rigid? No, because it's against human nature. Self-interest drives all. Defending modernity may contain an element of self-interest as well but it's not the whole truth. The phrase paid-media says it all. Without money, ideology won't sustain for long.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo not only represent a new philosophy but also present a radical physics. By presiding over the whole process of evolution, they enunciate a new religion and ask for human collaboration. In line with the Vedic target of Immortality, they soar to its acme.

Evolution is an ongoing phenomenon, and hence, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not something optional. What they have predicted bear the stamp of evolutionary inevitability. They have backed it up with robust Theory, which is unprecedented in human history. Savitri is the epitome.

Without sound intellectual grounding, it's impossible to appreciate the profound significance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. What Feuerbach or Comte had inaugurated, had to be given a decent burial. The Life Divine dared to annex the heaven to the earth in a coherent explanation.

I'm beholden to Google for giving me the opportunity to publish a family of two dozen blogs way back in 2005. Dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I have never been particular about their commercial aspect. A decade back I had received 4K as ad revenue. Today another 8K came.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not mere philosophers. They were well aware of all human weaknesses and difficulties and stressed on work in the Ashram. The practical side was not the real solution, but it performed the more important aspect of aspiration for higher consciousness.

Divine grace is the most crucial element in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who preside over the evolutionary march, is the first principle of Savitri Era Religion. Further their work for reconfiguration of body cells continues.

By affirming All life is yoga, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo grappled with the challenge of how their life-embracing Integral philosophy can really be a success. Simply personal effort on the part of the disciples was not enough and therefore they emphasised sincerity and surrender.

West Bengal Political parties don't consider Sri Aurobindo a Bengali, nor do they derive any inspiration from him. Due to lack of his contribution to local literature or culture, awareness of him among people is negligible. Further, he is overshadowed by other popular luminaries.

Savitri Era Party maintains that restoring Sri Aurobindo's preeminent status in West Bengal is essential for right political direction not only in the State but also in the country. Bengal is important because the Left has a deep footprint here and ideological tension can emerge.

In a depressing scenario of political parties leaning towards identity-based electoral planks, Savitri Era Party will rescue the situation by its message of human unity and universality. The spirit of Bengal Renaissance needs to be reaffirmed through #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. Hence they are beyond comparison or comment. Clubbing them with their contemporaries, or other famous gurus, is nothing more than historical narrative.

Despite guile, Modi has turned a reliable barometer for judging intellectuals in India. Who supported or denounced him at what point or for which period of time is a reflection of the person's maturity and honesty. The timing also tells about quid pro quo involved, or lack of it.

I have been supplying an alternative viewpoint on many things, on the basis of my study of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books and allied orientation in Humanities. It's purely rational and has nothing to do with spirituality. Most people lack this advantage and chase celebrities.

The rise of Hindutva was due to several factors like anti-Congressism, anti-Colonialism, and anti-Western sentiment. Many devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, unfortunately, fell prey to this religious nationalism. Savitri Era Party holds it as anti-evolutionary.

Intellectuality, however, is conspicuous by its absence in Hindutva. On the other hand, the Left has a formidable presence in Theory. Hindutva as a transitional phase will fizzle out. So, the real political fight is with the Leftist framework. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will win!

Democracy is a great concept but doesn't account for dynamics of human nature adequately. In Monarchy, corruption was confined to the ruling family and their associates, but in democracy no citizen can be free of corruption. Supporting some party involves intellectual dishonesty.

Instead of aligning The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too much, to either developmental or sustainability goals, it's possible to worship them as the one Supreme Divine presiding over evolutionary march. Keeping them out of current geopolitical calculations similarly seems appropriate.

I have been consistently saying that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary despite empowering a large section of people through its muscular exhortings. Lack of any coherent Theory and belief in imaginary past glory is the primary complain. Secondly, harnessing it for votes is unethical.

Marxist view of perceiving reality was more or less simple or stable to which many more lenses like psychoanalytic, phenomenology, structuralism, and semiotics were added during the last century. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too, have contributed significantly to this melting pot.

Savitri Era Party (2007), drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, provides an alternative liberal ideology in the democratic arena of India. Without mythology or rituals, Savitri Era Religion (2006), similarly, is a rational and coherent religion for the modern mind.

Knowledge and ideology rule and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have chosen India to show direction to the world. By establishing Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005, I have been spreading their Integral view through which numerous people have benefitted. selforum.blogspot.com

I have been advising against comparing Sri Aurobindo with his contemporaries or famous gurus. Similarly, blending The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings with any other philosophy is infructuous. Even, Integral yoga is incomplete without worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

Just posted the most blasphemous statement that, Even Integral yoga is incomplete. It's simply unimaginable how I have fallen to such a low! Yet it wouldn't have been possible without the immeasurable grace of The Mother. If it's utter deviance on my part, then also it's for her.

Still not a right representation of Sri Aurobindo's viewpoint since his mature writings appear in a monthly magazine called Arya published from August 15, 1914. The Human Cycle deals with his socio-political ideas. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25

There are many admirers and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but no one has worked in the field of politics at the national level. Indian People’s Congress was formed under the leadership of Shreepal Singh @singh_shreepal in 1993 with such a purpose

After voluntary retirement in 2000, intellectual work and Internet have provided me a great getaway from ordinary life. The optimistic outlook of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo injects momentum in this exercise. Disseminating an objective and honest perspective is a big satisfaction.

He writes well and hence his books sell in plenty. But what about content and context? Shouldn't they deserve a greater degree of appraisal? Books by Sri Aurobindo are difficult to read and understand. It takes a lot of effort to reconcile his ideas. Still, it's highly rewarding.

Provision of Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the Constitution was an inbuilt trigger for implosion. Rise of Hindutva and the nebulous slogan of Hindu Rashtra exploded the Constitution from outside. It's an anarchic atmosphere at present as a deceptive theatre of democracy goes on.

There prevails a misconception that reading Sri Aurobindo's books is an invitation for practice of yoga and spirituality. It's not so. His major works deal with philosophy where he explains diverse facets of the world with clarity. Understanding these is a huge intellectual leap.

Studying Education as a part of my BSc,BEd course was useful but I found them quite shallow in comparison with what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offered. As a teacher in my own village school these theoretical aspects were of little use as syllabus and examinations ruled the roost.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo it's my responsibility to be true to their ideals and hence the role of a right narrative is preeminent. In this context worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is fundamental which leads to Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remain largely unknown despite their immense contributions. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion, is an excellent avenue for seeking their grace and collaboration with evolution for descent of Supramental consciousness.

Monarchy may be considered as conforming to human nature, while democracy is something artificial and imposed. Like all normative tasks, democracy fails to be successful. Yet, going by Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary scheme of things, democracy is likely to reform and refine itself.

Capitalism, like Monarchy, is close to human nature while Modernity is something aspirational. So when Fukuyama solemnised the marriage of democracy and capitalism it was a travesty of truth. It reminds of the proverb that All that glitters is not gold. Gold can be found in Veda.

Savitri Era Religion owes its allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Apart from Vedic foundations, it is indebted to the Cosmic Movement of Max Théon, inspired by a stream of Jewish Kaballah.

Many aren't aware that the last six chapters of The Life Divine were added when it was published as a book for the first time in 1940. These can be said to be a different book in the sense that a clear roadmap was drawn by Sri Aurobindo in accordance with his evolutionary vision.

Sri Aurobindo mends defect of Theory

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

After observing myself and others associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings for forty years, I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. Disenchantment with Hindutva too was a big factor for opting for an independent shelter. This is the most modern and rational religion.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them has evolutionary ramifications. Surrender basically means abandoning mental boundary, so that higher levels of consciousness take charge. Savitri Era Religion is the only avenue for this trick.

After their first meeting on March 29, 1914, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started publishing The Life Divine on August 15, 1914. Savitri Era Religion (2006) is driven by the logic of this epochal book. This is an intellectual field. Those who haven't read this book are illiterates!

While The Life Divine laid out the blueprint of a future world The Secret of the Veda unveiled the palette of principles for its execution. However The Mother book blended them together which forms the fuel of Savitri Era Religion. Victory of this evolutionary march is inevitable. 

This month keeps on reminding about how The Mother travelled from France and reached the nondescript town of Puducherry to meet Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914. Historians are yet to gauge the profound significance of this epochal moment that sowed the seeds of East-West harmony.

Integral yoga was enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo which is followed by thousands of people across the world. On the other hand, Savitri Era Religion was founded by me in 2006 which worships them as the one Supreme Divine, without any theoretical or practice-wise binding.

Crafting a tweet takes a lot of effort and imagination. Squeezing it within the specified character limit is another exercise in gymnastics. It is addressed to varieties of readers with the potential of stimulating their thinking. Yet some are in the habit of urinating like dogs.

Whether Hinduism and Hindutva are the same? Whether RSS is a Hindu organisation? Which Shankaracharya is more authentic than others? Whether Brahmins should agitate against UGC rules? Instead of daily bothering about such questions, I'm happy to be in Savitri Era Religion (2006).

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is an attempt to build a globally recognisable platform so that the children of present devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't drift away. It's free from any institutional bondage or stipulation of rituals. All are invited to join in voluntarily.

Apart from general discussion & matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo this handle caters to three specific arms:

Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005) selforum.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Religion (2006) serfrat.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Party (2007) savitrieraparty.blogspot.com

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have brought new knowledge and new light. To be guided by it is the responsibility of the whole humanity. Indians have a special task on this score. As followers of other gurus are dwindling, Savitri Era Religion is emerging as the most modern religion.

I acquired information on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in bits and pieces from books, magazines, and newspaper articles which were not easily available. Keeping notes and thematically matching them in separate registers. The thrill of finding an apposite quotation was exhilarating!

Most schools had closed the Humanities stream. I found one for my daughter in 1998 after a lot of effort. Everyone discouraged as to why I am imposing my whim on a good student. This bias continues but most here pose to be experts on Humanities without studying it in the college.

Babaji Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti started publishing a quarterly magazine titled Navajyoti ନବଜ୍ୟୋତି from Puducherry through which I had come to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They also built a network of Study Circles called Pathachakra ପାଠଚକ୍ର which has grown enormously now.

After shifting to Delhi in 1988, I got the wonderful opportunity of reading books and magazines at library of Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch. I was also stealthy reading portions of new books which I couldn't afford, at the Sabda sales centre. Society Centre was also useful.

Got to know a few renowned persons who were residents of Shipra Riviera in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad. Apart from Prof. S.K. Chaube, Prof. Manindra Nath Thakur, and Sanjeev Verma, Artist, @sanjay_election and @mukeshbudharwi are eminent public intellectuals. @shantprakash also lives nearby.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram-Delhi Branch has two other Centres in Uttarakhand which I have visited. Van Niwas is located on Kilbury Road in Ayarpatta, Nainital while Madhuban is in Talla Ramgarh. Sri Aurobindo Institute of Indian Culture in Shillong, Meghalaya has similar scenic beauty.

Intellectual growth leads to clinging to primacy of Theory. Otherwise, it's just irrational believing in something out of extraneous considerations. Leftists advocate Theory but operate in a partial territory. Consequences accordingly are commensurate. Sri Aurobindo mends defect.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide excellent guidance for self-management and intellectual enrichment. Most are ignorant about them, and hence are missing a great opportunity of benefitting from their path. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to bridge this gap.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947, forms the bedrock of its future vision. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity and harmony. All are invited.
