Mother & Sri Aurobindo have inaugurated a new epoch to break free from the
shackles of the past and its prohibitions. #SiddhiDay Victory 1h Freedom of thought & intelligence not
only fosters Democracy & Markets but also fights superstition & propels
emancipatory social practices. 1h The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have a vision

Integral Yoga is no uniform potion
When
it comes to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and Integral Yoga, one feels
like Condoleezza
Rice remarking “The fact of the matter is I've been black all my life.
Nobody needs to tell me how to be black.[125]”
Like Socrates’ "examined life,” The Mother’s stress on avoiding the misery
of an “aimless life” is perhaps the most basic rule for an aspirant. For a
major stretch in life, however, many mistake earning livelihood for the aim
although the profession provides the opportunity for flowering of talent,
nurturing creativity, and moulding of subjectivity. The resultant
individuality, identity, and social mobility, however, do exert a mesmerizing
effect whereby the chance of coming face to face with choosing an aim or
confronting one’s own real self head on is always deferred. Drawing
satisfaction from some substitute as compensation is, of course, forced by
subsistence compulsions.

56 years of 1956
The
Mother’s proclamation of the descent of the Supramental in 1956 almost
coincided with the sweeping post-Independence hopes of building a new India . But what
we observe 56 years later is not a very encouraging scene on both the fronts.
Despite the democratic pretensions, politics, media, education, and leisure are
all hostage to a pervasive feudal culture. Instead of the Marxist angst and
alienation, a celebratory engrossing with Heideggerian inauthenticity and
trivia seems to be the order of the day. Commerce, of course, propels
excellence as well as quality of life. Patronage for arts and creativity, too,
are hinged to the invisible hand of market dynamics. Management of human
affairs has climbed such macro levels that ordinary human beings have become
inconsequential.

is the key. 1947 Five Dreams Manifesto provides a futuristic road-map for India and the

other nasty personality cults. Neither Anna nor Kejriwal, adopting an honest
ideology is the way. 1h Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo imparts the
right intellectual muscle to judge complex political and economic currents
circulating in the world. 1h Sri Aurobindo's teaching constitutes an
essential feature today for enduring power and nation building. No other
ideological glue is safer. 1h Congress accommodated Leftist scholarship to
look respectable but RSS banished Sri Aurobindo's illuminating vision from its
curriculum.

Defending Sri
[Millenarian Elements in the Hindu Religious Traditions Hugh
B. Urban The
Oxford Handbook of Millennialism In the course of suppressive colonial
rule, militant nationalism emerged in messianic attire. Spiritual nationalist
Sri Aurobindo described it as a religion directly presented by God. The new age
came up with lifestyle gurus such as Osho Rajneesh, who asserted a symbolic end
of time by surrendering typical lifestyle practices. The
Oxford Handbook of Millennialism - Page 375 - Google Books Result - Catherine
Wessinger - 2011 - Although Aurobindo Ghose is today best known as a spiritual teacher and
philosopher, he was also, in his youth, one of the primary leaders of the
revolutionary ...]
Sri Aurobindo’s name underwent many metamorphoses
during his lifetime. From stark anonymity to a slew of pseudonyms and acronyms, his experimentation
ended with his signing as Sri Aurobindo sans any surname or caste identity. His
works, understandably, have been published under that name and, ordinarily, he is referred to as so.
But there are certain types of people who are intolerant of his adding Sri to
his name and are always eager to geld it. The Sri to them is a canopy of
fundamentalism that smacks of unjustified superiority, thus threatening secular
sensibilities.
Sri Aurobindo refutes Nietzsche
What
strikes me as crucial in this passage is Nietzsche’s remark that we have wiped
away the horizon, that we now move without direction, that we are suspended in
an infinite void and cold, empty space. The death of God therefore seems to
signify a world that has lost its coordinates (what else is a horizon if not a
way of co-ordinating our movement?) and where the ground has disappeared
beneath us. I take it that the term “God” is a generic term for any sort of
transcendental term that would fix meaning and identity. It would be a mistake
to assume that “God” simply refers to the God of organized religion. Rather God
is a generic term referring to anything on the order of a form, essence,
transcendence, identity, substance, permanence, ideal, wholeness, totality and
so on.]
[April 9, 2007 at 7:46 am Coming across in a hymn of Martin
Luther what Hegel described as the cruel words, the harsh utterance, namely,
God is dead, the latter was perhaps the first great philosopher to develop the
theme of God’s death according to whom, to one form of experience God is dead.
Commenting on Kant’s first Critique, Heinrich Heine spoke of a dying God. Heine
influenced Nietzsche. Since Heine and Nietzsche the phrase Death of God became
popular. (K. Satchidananda Murty, The Realm of Between, IIAS, 1973)]
[The Human Aspiration « Sri Aurobindo Studies 30 Aug
2009 – Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine
The
earliest formula of Wisdom promises to be its last,—God, Light, Freedom,
Immortality. These persistent ideals of the race are at once the contradiction
of its normal experience and the affirmation of higher and deeper experiences
which are abnormal to humanity and only to be attained, in their organised
entirety, by a revolutionary individual effort or an evolutionary general
progression… The greater the apparent disorder…, the stronger is the spur…]

Unceasing aspiration is the sure means
It’s
not without significance that Sri
Aurobindo Ashram came into being in 1926 in the wake of Swarajya Party in 1923 and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Communist Party of India in 1925.
Despite all disclaimers, establishment of a commune is a palpable political act
by which the inmates, not only stay insulated against unwanted ideological
propaganda, but also become example of
lived values thereby offering an alternative socio-cultural paradigm. But
as we observe at the end of 2012, none of the aforesaid four streams inspire
confidence so far as the future of humanity is concerned.
