Sri Aurobindo invites all to be as Varuna

The plight of Hindutva scholars to support and gather justification for whatever Modi does is unenviable. No salvation sans Critical Reason.

Ascendancy of Modi provided an opportunity to hold a distinct line of opinion at the national level, through Twitter. http://t.co/38A7AOg2Uy

Hindutva fans suffer from an enormous amount of intellectual lethargy in the pretext of opposing sec-lib (sic) ideology, to their own peril.

Common Sense approach: India of 2015 shouldn't be defined in terms of the state of affairs in 1520. Fifteen year olds must dictate future.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Go slow on Gandhi, Tagore, Subhas, Vivekananda, Savarkar, and Ambedkar to discover full import of Sri Aurobindo.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Persuade yourself that Mythology is works of poetry and has to be appreciated as such. Keep children away from it.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Understand that Sri Aurobindo represents synthesis, not only of various Indian traditions, but also with the West.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Studying Sri Aurobindo's commentaries on the Veda, Upanishads & Gita is a must to understand self, India, & World.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Get rid of the notion that Nationalism is same as supporting BJP & RSS. Be critical in judging Country's interest.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: Surprising but true that it's only Sri Aurobindo who understands the Veda correctly & invites all to be as Varuna.

Lesson for Hindutva fans: The way you understand and interpret the world is true by 20℅ only. Rest 80℅ will come from reading Sri Aurobindo.

@ravikumarg14 The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written extensively on Education which is practiced in 1000+ schools in Odisha and elsewhere.

Hindutva enthusiasts should concentrate on deep-rooted social-ills of India instead of lambasting liberals and their inspiration, the West.

Antipathy towards West deprives many in Hindutva camp from reading good books on ethics, justice, and human rights. So, juvenility persists.

Hindutva camp is openly admitting the low status of women but RSS never took this up as priority. Learning from the West/Christians needed.

English is the vehicle for progress & prosperity. All other languages should be left to the social circle to be promoted and taught as hobby.

From a few of Sri Aurobindo's books, one can easily assimilate all that is good in Sanskrit without going through the rigours of learning it.

Save children from Mythology, Rituals, and learning too many languages. The best of West must be discovered through the gateway of English.

Economy depends upon the people; their willingness to spend and take risk with their savings. That's not happening; FDI alone is not panacea.

Books are also a consumer item and Hindutva fans should recommend buying of books (not coins & utensils) as part of celebration of festivals.

A more profitable discourse than this Electra complex hubbub would be the kind of feelings of a mother with two or more daughters & no sons.

@sankrant No one dedicates his life to any book, holy or otherwise. Human beings are wired to spot self-interest and chase it in any guise.

@sankrant People are told, okay. But no one obeys. People believe in multiple things, feign faith in some locations. Your portrayal is false.

@sankrant Some people join political groups as career & use holy books for their project. So, it's political diktat what they obey not faith.

@ravithinkz I always thought you have answers to all questions in the world! Btw, the Radha and Rasa-lila etc. are later day interpolations.

@ravithinkz I must have learnt so many things from your blog and Liberty theory in general which foresees a world without poverty, problems.

All stipulations relating to food, fasting, dress, hairstyle, etc. imposed by various religions, sects, cults, and castes should be banned.

Political parties preying on a particular colour, enforcing uniformity in dressing & wearing caps with printed slogans should be prohibited.

The Ideal of Human Unity was unfurled in 1915

Although I am blogging since 2005 on the theme of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, some accuse me of misusing their names for political purpose. This is nothing unusual since they are primarily seen as Gurus who are dedicated to spirituality. Bulk of their writings, in fact, relate to practice of Integral Yoga and psychological topology. Sri Aurobindo Centres, also, focus on meditation and weekly discourses on scriptures. In this scenario, even the academicians can't be faulted for treating Sri Aurobindo's writings as emanating from a Guru and not from a political thinker.

Be that as it may, it needs to be mentioned for those who are new that my blogs were meant for wide dissemination of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's works. The purpose was to inaundate the Internet with their names by way of unabashed propaganda. Needless to say that many devotees find this approach unpalatable. The second reason why most people are enraged is that I favour a new Savitri Era Religion. This posits an option 'either/or' which irritates tradition worshippers. The third reason is politics or Savitri Era Party. This is totally unacceptable, they shout in unison.

The Heehs imbroglio, no doubt, was an eye opener and it's satisfying that I maintain an independent position to this day. Ascendancy of Modi, similarly, provided an opportunity to hold a distinct line of opinion at the national level through Twitter. These, I believe, are not mean acheivements. But, unfortunately, there is hardly anyone capable today who would judge things on merit. The Ideal of Human Unity was unfurled in 1915 and this is the Centenary year. There is an urgency to reread this "most dated" book of Sri Aurobindo so that it doesn't become the most hated. [TNM55]

Nothing amazes more than fans lamenting constantly that media & Sonia are more powerful as Modi is incapable of doing anything against them!

Hindutva fans are intolerant of different opinion, ideology, or religion & want one-party-rule like China. No such luxury under Constitution.

RSS focusing on Hindi has alienated the elite & even now it is lukewarm towards scholarly enterprise in English. Also looks as anti-science.

Internet has brought massive collection of information but think of the deprivation of those who know only Hindi or single regional language.

No kowtowing to Hindutva juggernaut

We have commented upon Rajiv Malhotra on several occasions disapproving his approach towards the West. Besides, he is not sympathetic towards Sri Aurobindo. So, when he expounds on Indian culture or Hindu ethos, it's to be taken with a pinch of salt. If the people from the Ashram rely upon outsiders to define knowledge for them, then there is no greater misfortune. Internal squabble and ideological confusion has been responsible for lackluster dissemination of Sri Aurobindo's thought. Let it not be disfigured again by kowtowing to Hindutva juggernaut. [TNM55]

Tweets:

Heard Amit Shah speaking today against Emergency where he valiantly claimed BJP having internal democracy. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Modi Seems to be interested in claiming pre-BJP Janata legacy for which only obstacle is Nitish Kumar but can be mollified post-Election.

Modi doesn't appear to be too interested in Hindutva; may be his leanings towards Lohia and JP has some genuineness apart from vote strategy.

Modi is a puppet at the moment, that much is sure. No need of any halo of honesty or super-human mask but an iota of sincerity for the poor.

Modi is more contented to have CMs like Mamata, Jaya, Kejriwal, Naveen, and Nitish Kumar under him instead of those from BJP or pliant types.

Apropos women, intellectual dishonesty displayed by the likes of Kishwar is no less a corrupt practice than Raje, Swaraj, Irani, or Munde.

Those who adore Modi but vilify Gandhi are surely a bizarre breed. New historians, somehow, seem shy of casting a glance at Sri Aurobindo!

Restricting Gandhi to texts is bound to produce a squint vision. How his visits were affecting people in the countryside is worth examining.

It's crystal clear: Gandhi, despite his faults, is a thousand times more preferable than Subhas Bose or Savarkar, heroes who admired Hitler.

Robotics, Singularity, and the vision of Sri Aurobindo http://t.co/xn8dCnRD64

Robotics, Singularity, and the Evolutionary vision of Sri Aurobindo

Politics is not all about Current affairs or history. Searching for the best ideology and internalising its principles needs long practice.

Slow transformation of erstwhile fierce nationalists into tolerant of corruption & foul means is so pathetic. Long live Conspiracy of silence!

Instead of wasting time on Emergency, it's better to concentrate on  Robotics, Singularity, and the Evolutionary vision of Sri Aurobindo.

Political mythology is as injurious as religious mythology in keeping Indians under snare. Sri Aurobindo encourages to think of the future.

@cvoter Zeitgeist doesn't care for history or continuity. Evolutionary dialectic is too erratic to be defined by past narratives.

Vast diversity in India doesn't allow foreseeing a technological future but the kind of Evolution Sri Aurobindo talks about is worth knowing.

Public intellectuals owe an explanation to the nation as to why they have been so niggardly in writing on Sri Aurobindo's political thought.

When it comes to Sri Aurobindo, both Leftists and RW commentators are equally guilty of not only neglecting but also ostracizing his vision.

A Twitter celebrity once characterised my tweets on Sri Aurobindo as spam & threatened to block me. So much abhorrence towards Sri Aurobindo.

SAVITRI ERA OF THOSE WHO ADORE, OM SRI AUROBINDO & THE MOTHER. 

Dive headlong into SAVITRI to partake of Sri Aurobindo

Many are talking about the body and mind apropos Yoga but soon they will discover deeper complexities as Sri Aurobindo maps them in SAVITRI.

Instead of worrying about the origin or history of Yoga, a more profitable pursuit is to dive headlong into SAVITRI & partake of Sri Aurobindo.

Those opposed to Congress Dynasty going the BJP way and imbibing RSS philosophy is not unusual since Sri Aurobindo's thought is read rarely.

Each and every political party in India has kept the memory & words of Sri Aurobindo outside its ideological framework & action programmes.

Scholars and intellectuals, too, find Sri Aurobindo devoid of any worth although there are several authoritative works on him by Westerners.

Although some followers of Sri Aurobindo support RSS, its absolutely myopic. His vision of World Union is incompatible with RSS parochialism.

Being under the influence of Mythology & Rituals is a medieval feature of the RSS. Sri Aurobindo roots for the Vedic dialectic of Evolution.

Mythology and Rituals trivialise profound psychological concepts but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo invite us to understand them in their purity.

Integral philosophy of Sri Aurobindo, not only takes care of psychology and personal development, but also lays down a robust political path.

Sri Aurobindo, not only enthuses us to fight fascism, but also insists upon the Sadhak attitude: not to feel superior than fellow citizens.

As a votary of Freedom & volitional Human Unity aiding Evolution, Sri Aurobindo is against any hegemonic economic ideology or fascist traits.

Though he wrote extolling Indian culture and several scriptures, Sri Aurobindo never limits himself within any particular nation or religion.

Hermeneutic breakthrough in identifying the gods of Veda as psychological principles forms the most original contribution by Sri Aurobindo.

A happy outcome of Sri Aurobindo's Vedic exegesis is the new understanding of the four Varnas which had degenerated into rigid caste system.

Evolutionary change, as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo, is inevitable but supporting hostile forces like RSS, evidently, enhances the obstacles.

Democracy is in peril in India today as all political parties are ailing. New party drawing inspiration from Sri Aurobindo is the only hope.

The way politicians struggle perpetually for their positioning, it's difficult to expect high ideals from them sans Institutional mechanism.

Neither BJP nor Communists come from Democratic roots. Congress which brought Democracy went Dynastic. A strong bulwark for Democracy needed.

BJP won in 2014 by capitalising on Congress decline in UP. Dynasty has corroded Congress; still it's not willing for any course correction.

Useful to remember that most opposition leaders started their career in Congress. Even today BJP tries to imitate Congress in many respects.

The history of Congress is almost synonymous with the 20th century history of the nation. Place of Gandhi in it is too complex to be derided.

Judging Gandhi as an individual would be erroneous. It's a whole ecosystem with dollops of myth, motivation, marketing, and final martyrdom.

Gandhi is unique and inseparable from modern India. No need to put him on a high pedestal but dissecting him threadbare should be avoided.

RSS objective is to spread hatred. Gandhi may have many faults but a lady Professor in America pouring vitriol against him is reprehensible.

@jadhav_in Think of the nation first and learn the political philosophy of Sri Aurobindo instead of being a blind follower of RSS-BJP-Modi.

Victimhood was understandable when not in Power. BJP-RSS supporters suffering from the same inferiority complex after one year is surprising.

Now that they are in Power, RSS must respect the Indian Constitution and appoint required percentage of SCs & STs among its office bearers.

Nothing wrong in having a RSS or NAC type supervisory body over the Govt. of India but there should be necessary Constitutional amendment.

@vipulIT @tufailelif Whoever is born in India is an Indian. There is no scope for some people treating another as Indian. It's not charity!

RSS abhors the idea of citizenship and teaches young people that they are more equal than others. This is a fantasy but adolescents love it.

RSS striving to build a huge Hindu vote bank is understandable but in the process it is alienating a large number of people & their goodwill

RSS must subject itself to scrutiny & institute necessary changes in its functioning to shoulder responsibilities as required in a Democracy

Although the role of RSS as a spike to restrain a dictatorial Modi is a welcome situation at present, its commitment to Democracy is suspect.

It's absurd to judge current state of RSS by its past as it's struggling to grapple with new challenges but Modernity not yet its priority.

Most RSS supporters on Twitter are products of Modernity and want to be respected but become furious when their Medieval leanings is mocked.

Prime Minister and the Party President hailing from the same State indicates clear fascist propensity but to fans it's Democratic fragrance!

India today can't be compared to what it was even 100 years back (let alone 1000 years) in terms of population, communication, and commerce.

Hindu interest and National interest are pure separate concerns and those who pretend to represent both are committing full-scale hypocrisy.

Tweets by those employed by media houses or political parties are propaganda and should not be considered as genuine Democratic discourse.

Instead of concentrating on service delivery, Modi is turning the Govt. into a vain propaganda machine & frittering away precious resources.

For RSS people, it's one Karyakram after another; no respite. Never look back or bother about what you promised a month back or a year ago!

@jadhav_in I read newspapers but rarely see RSS functionaries addressing the press or doing an annual review of their performance appraisal.

@pras4net @jadhav_in Targeting the person is a fascist mentality. I'm criticising organisations & those holding public offices. Answer them.

@jadhav_in That's a lame excuse. If media is made to publicise Yoga day, it can be managed to cover organisational performance. Possible.

@jadhav_in I don't contest your support to Modi but opposing anti-fascist propensity is also a duty in Democracy. Twitter gives opportunity.

@jadhav_in 1) Yoga is healthy for the world statement is fascist in essence

2) Internal assessment done in secrecy is also fascist in spirit.

Yoga or Food, Govt. initiatives involving large section of citizens should be discussed in Parliament first otherwise deem unconstitutional.

Yoga turned joke today with Govt sponsoring dubious practices as salutary for citizens. Citizens value freedom and Ministers shouldn't teach.

No nation can progress fast if modern & medieval forces pull it in opposite directions. Indians must learn to eschew anti-Evolutionary bias.

Those above sixty should refrain from defining the world of the future meant for who are sixteen today. RSS is nothing but a Jurassic Park!

Ministers espousing Mythology & Superstition is a sad reflection on the state of the nation now. Reading Sri Aurobindo's works can liberate.

Aggressive Cultural Nationalism unleashed by RSS through Yoga day etc. are sure to invite forceful backlash from diverse quarters in future.

India is of the Indians, for the Indians, by the Indians, and certainly not of any particular group of people belonging to some religion.

@jadhav_in You are trying to wriggle out of the specific issue I have raised in this particular tweet. BJP, a national party must introspect.

Family persons and those who are single face different sets of problems and so lifestyle solutions like Yoga shouldn't be imposed uniformly.

Yoga may be useful for those who are single to keep their passion in control and so they recommending it to married persons is superfluous!

The trouble with Yoga and Indigenous medicines is that some fayda is promised but no quantification or precise evaluation of their effects.

Sometime back BJP was for compulsory voting. The day may not be far they will enforce compulsory Yoga and compulsory viewing Aastha Channel!

Instead of Modi turning a brand ambassador for Yoga, they should have asked Aamir Khan to make a motivational movie for deeper penetration.

Some are enthusiastic about Yoga with the notion that it's a once-in-a-year affair but will opt out when told to practice it on daily basis.

Modi Govt. must promulgate a new Calendar in India so that June 21 falls on Sunday every year for maximum participation in Yoga by citizens!

Design new tools for the future Evolution

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo encourage not to be possessive about past cultural frameworks but to design new tools for the future Evolution.

Visitors are likely to confuse Ashram and Auroville representing Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy and Yoga. No, they just signify tiny experiments.

Followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are scattered all over the globe and their work, though unrecognized, contributes to peace & harmony.

The state of AAP, BJP, and Congress is a firm pointer to the urgency of a new political party built around the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo.

Earning money is justifiably a Vaishya trait but a complex job like money laundering is a combined effort of Brahmana, Kshatriya, & Vaishya.

Competent people opposing fascist propensity of Hindutva gives nice feeling but on closer scrutiny they turn out to be slaves of Sonia!

Understandable that for many people it's money & earning livelihood but it's utter hypocrisy who claim their support to Sonia is on ideology.

RSS supporters are more interested in the reaction of minorities to Yoga than any genuine interest in practicing it. Fascist way of imposing!

Advani was brought in to divert attention from Lalit imbroglio but Modi fans are so depressed now that they refuse to a flog a dead horse!

Some have stopped twitting and other regulars have scoured heaven and earth to find alternative topics to tweet but Lalit imbroglio aches!

Many were living in a fool's paradise (partly to cope with own insecurity and alienation) and so Modi's fall from the pedestal is rude shock!

Fan reticence is proof enough that too much is at stake over Lalit imbroglio and the whole Sangh ecosystem is likely to weather cyclones.

Lalit imbroglio erupting before Bihar elections proves to be a double whammy. Modi may find it as an alibi to escape campaigning in Bihar.

BJP might be gloating over achievements like Beef ban & Yoga day but will surely lose whatever few Muslim votes it would have got otherwise.

Lalit imbroglio is a godsend opportunity for Indian citizens to force cleansing of the political system of corruption and clandestine deals.

Modi's ivory tower style, no doubt, has alienated the Govt. from the public. Lalit imbroglio however will definitely bring him to his knees.

A person is product of his circumstances. Had Gujarat been more intellectually stimulating, its citizens would have gifted a different Modi.

Understand Yoga from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Tweets by @SavitriEraParty

Current euphoria on Yoga is actually Hatha Yoga about which Sri Aurobindo was not very enthusiastic & enunciated his Integral Yoga, instead.

Yoga entails connecting outer action to inner consciousness. It's not for nothing that Sri Aurobindo wrote thousands of pages to explicate.

Before submitting yourself to any kind of regimentation or mind-control called Yoga, understand its theory from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Understand that you, your body, and intellectual need are unique and hence submitting to mass mechanisms might be harmful for your evolution.

Hindutva supporters rejoicing over Sanskrit terms, ancient Idols, or reference to Mythology is symptomatic of naïve symbolism. No deep probe.

Modi hankers for the Nobel and understands that Sonia holds the veto. Without her endorsement nothing can happen. RSS also favours harmony!

Gurumurthy has set forth a strange definition of Nationalism: overlook State-level scams and small-time offenders. Hindutva code of amnesty!

All those who were Ministers under Vajpayee-Advani continue to value the Kulkarni-Doctrine among whom Jaitley is foremost today. Admirable!

The temptation to regulate including compulsory voting is irresistible for rulers but freedom is a more time-proven mechanism for progress.

Where is our so familiar "Law will take its own course?" Many downplay the controversy by terming it as media creation; some want to ignore!

No one imagined that Modi would be in soup so early and so easily. Those who were trying to portray a saintly image of him are crestfallen!

@Vidyut That's the greatest disappointment. And these folks chant Dharma at the drop of a hat and pose as astute scholars of Hindu religion!

All those who are in politics handle unaccounted money. So, why insist on a halo around someone who has been successful to hide his deals?

@pras4net Great thinkers retain their niche circle of admirers regardless of popular reception. It, basically, depends upon one's education.

All attempts to wrap Sri Aurobindo within Hindu religion is juvenile and myopic which no amount of scholarly justification can substantiate.

@Sheks65 My comment is strictly academic, based on their theoretical output. It's your privilege to judge with spiritual vision which I lack!

Articles galore on the need for rewriting history books but no one is ready to write. Clearly exposes lack of scholarship in Hindutva camp.

Linking improprieties committed by certain persons to their religion is a logical fallacy but lends to generating considerable juvenile glee!

Strangely, the religions of millions of law-abiding and noble-hearted citizens - across nations - are never lauded by spiteful hate-mongers!

Nothing happens by chance; even tweets are timed. So it's really perplexing to sense what can be Lalit Modi's connection to Bihar elections!

Sushma Swaraj is most likely to be declared as the CM candidate for Bihar which'd be a textbook example of killing two birds with one arrow!

Lalit Modi imbroglio has sealed the fate of Sushil Modi as CM aspirant since Modi can't stand another Modi to gain stature within the party.

Gag order on family members of Ministers is utterly undemocratic. They must express themselves freely to defend their relatives in trouble!

Modi better set up a new Ministry for Humoneytarian affairs so that cadre from the Bangaru Laxman school are able to display their talent!

Modi could have paid a visit to London to celebrate #MagnaCarta800th along with Adani & Lalit Modi instead of resorting to cumbersome route.

MMS institutionalized this HUF model of Cabinet whereas the PM has be directly responsible for all acts of commission and omission by Govt.

Those who lecture about following Dharma day in and day out are pretending to be out of station when Modi Govt. has been caught red handed.

I don't watch TV, but what I gather from Twitter is, many insist the onus of proving any sort of allegation rests upon someone called Arnab!

Even stray thoughts when tweeted are to be owned and be responsible for. Evolution of thought and personality, therefore, is inhibited by past writings. The same is also true for many other fields of art and creativity.

Sri Aurobindo has spent a lot of energy in revising his past works. Only The Life Divine can be said to have been thoroughly revised and enlarged to his satisfaction. This is the most important book in this sense. Other works can be accused as dated, incomplete, creative, subjective, or not intended to be published. When stalwarts of Western Philosophy are returning to Alexander, Bergson, and Whitehead, The Life Divine fills us with joy and pride. Vedic and Speculative at the same time, the authentic hand of Sri Aurobindo builds a foundation for future humanity through it.

The Life Divine, thus, is to be seen as a base and not a complete system. Many other streams like The Mother, The Mind of Light, or The Mind of the Cells are to be incorporated into it to understand the whole vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Acquaintance with insights of Freud, Einstein, or Maturana et al certainly facilitates a deeper appreciation. But an Ontological framework, itself, is not the required solution.

Various strands of political, cultural, and religious ideologies hold strong sway over people in different parts of the world. Besides, struggle for survival and economic advantage is part of everyone's life in a natural way. Against this backdrop, whether the Evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will stick to the dominant consciousness of the humanity is a big question mark. However, the march of technology aiding to unite the world is a ray of hope. Reading The Life Divine, available freely online, remains a sure formula of hope for each and every person. [TNM55] 

Sri Aurobindo's Yoga adds surrender to The Mother

@arunishas Though Bhakti aspect gets integrated with Vedantic Knowledge in Gita, Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga adds surrender to The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo looks upon gods as levels of Consciousness & they are in need of further riches to scale higher peaks http://t.co/19W8wzSekW
@SwarajyaMag Mythologies built around Human Rights & Freedom are surely more preferable than Hindutva Mythologies perpetuating Superstition. http://t.co/u3rsYyH8Sg http://t.co/cz2KtDCnZb
@SwarajyaMag Anti-Colonial sentiments shouldn't blind us to the enormous intellectual debts that we, - as a modern nation - owe to the West.

Democracy, like Corporates, is flawed by the fact that with just 10%, the rest of the 90% can be subjugated. A variation of 80:20 principle!

Elected representatives should speak out in a Democracy but they are mostly silent on Twitter except paying obeisance on birthdays of dead.

Secularism is suspect in India as activist Christian and Muslim intellectuals see it as a convenient tool to fight Hinduism sans theology.

@Sheks65 That doesn't mean Secularism or Democracy are jettisoned. Those adorning public offices bear onerous responsibility to nourish it.

Academic and professional competence being judged on the basis of whether one supports Modi forms a body blow inflicted on talent and merit.

There is more clamour from BJP supporters to remove Jaitley rather than Smriti Irani from Ministership. Speaks of their quality & integrity!

MMS had no guilty complex since none expected him to perform. Modi is losing ground so fast that he may be forced to order a mid-term poll.

With everyone agreeing Nitish Kumar is heads and shoulders ahead, Bihar election scene has become a little boring barring Manjhi, the clown!

BJP fans are known for neurotic obsession for history. Now that there is nothing much to write home about Modi, it turns a Defense Mechanism.

@OdiaCulture One theory says that the name Utkal derives from Utkalinga (Uttara Kalinga), the northern part the then empire. Seems probable.

@OdiaCulture Temple art was everywhere & craft persons were hired. Nothing is strictly Utkal. Like Balakrushna's music can't be called Odia.

Hindutva fans are perpetually concerned with issues like Beef eating, Yoga in schools, Vande Mataram, etc. No other problem matters to them.

Theoretical sensitizing can easily convince a person that despotic acts of kings in history need not be avenged upon the present generation.

Religious hatred is a common phenomenon but the challenge is to inculcate moderation under the rubric of Democratic and Humanistic discourse.

@inrealisation Multiple voices per se is not a problem but backing it with arguments is important. You can examine "appeasement" in detail.

Hindutva has no firm theoretical bulwark nor clarity on contemporary concerns since it speaks through multiple voices http://t.co/bWhaYwci3k

@Sheks65 Your comment verbose also extends to current writing samples, I felt. So called Spiritual approach promises much but delivers little.

Hindutva has no firm theoretical bulwark

Rise of Hindutva to Power in India poses a peculiar problem as it has no firm theoretical bulwark nor any clarity on contempoary concerns since it speaks through multiple voices. But the stress on Civilisational ethos and Social order is conspicuous. In this context, On the recognition of human rights by Nicholas Wolterstorff at The Immanent Frame is an interesting read. Whitehead on Feelings » too constitutes an important comment on scientific studies on Consciousness which can change its direction towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Tweets:

Congress declined as it refused State leaders to grow. BJP's downfall will be for exactly the same reason. Promoting young talent is a must.

Modi has exhausted his tricks and now his downhill journey begins. So, Nitish Kumar is the man of the future but surely not only for Bihar.

All those who are still hopeful about Modi must understand that he is destroying BJP, challenging RSS & distorting Democracy by one man rule.

During Emergency, at least there was a coterie or a Kitchen Cabinet, but under Modi no one matters, not even the External Affairs Minister.

What India needs is a democratic minded Chief Executive who would bolster Institutions and remove hurdles before the Market. Nothing more.

MMS may be a good person but many Institutions including the top suffered severe erosion during his tenure due to his precarious position.

Sonia is squarely responsible for UPA misrule and Modi ascendancy. She did a disservice to the nation by Dynastic ambition and corruption.

All those who value Democracy must join hands to throw away AAP, BJP, and Congress and support Nitish Kumar as India's next Prime Minister.

Restoration of Democracy in the country is a priority. An undereducated Education Minister reflects PM's arrogance and dictatorial tendency.

Tagging the name of Modi to pictures posted on Twitter of sites of tourist interest is as irritating and unethical as defacing the monuments.

Modi's hands are tight; his plight resembles that of the tortoise being flown by two swans - Adani and Ambani. http://t.co/h4CvxIn8JD

The world changed in 1998 with Google

The world changed in 1998 when Google came into existence. Hence, all 20th Century political ideals are rendered dysfunctional in the 21st.

English, Science, Democracy, and Markets are non-negotiable features of India's future as a global cultural hub evolving on Vedic paradigms.

Futile to blame some events in history since the future of the country is inextricably linked with those from which new paradigms to emerge.

Modest education of the Prime Minister and HRD Minister reflects the nature of Indian situation and comparison with U.S. or China is absurd.

A whole generation has lived with utopian dreams: Socialism, Free Markets, Hindu Rashtra, Naxalism, No English etc. Better to accept reality.

100 years back, Sri Aurobindo is writing new interpretations of the Veda and Upanishads and formulating a new philosophy based on Evolution.

100 years back, Sri Aurobindo wrote The Synthesis of Yoga which is a foundational book for anyone who calls himself a Hindu or learns Yoga.

Scaling higher ethical peaks

The ruling party should do a critical analysis of implementation of its Election Manifesto and apprise the public. Does BJP have such spine?

People voted for BJP and it should be accountable and not Modi or his Ministers. Why no one takes the Party to task? Why rant on Twitter?

Modi fans never ask the Party to discuss burning issues and lay down guidelines. Instead, each one gives his weighty opinion with aplomb!

Sonia used to deploy Ministers to voice opposite stands on issues. Hindutva hands in overdrive to debate Caste, Education, Constitution etc.

Modi fans and courtiers are of four types. 1) Lambs and parrots, 2) pro-RSS, 3) anti-RSS, and 4) Mandir-wallahs (of Rip Van Winkle variety).

Modi gained traction due to a galaxy of scribes opposing him. Now, he is relying upon in-house critics to stir controversy for publicity.

Winning elections and Ideological purity don't match and all this churning is on since Eastern corridor from TN to Delhi gives Modi jitters.

With Modi's covert blessings, APSC is fast growing muscles to outsmart RSS. Even AAP has been domesticated to a large extent. Revisionism!

Modi stormed to power by selling a comic book hero image. Courtiers now work overtime to apply coats of ideological varnish to camouflage.

There is no better achievement Modi can aspire for after becoming the Prime Minister. His only thirst now is how to get the Nobel Prize.

Neither Ram Mandir nor Statue of Unity, Modi's sole concern is his chair. His political strategy is shaped accordingly; so why vain whining?

Just like the Left had some Western ideologues, half-a-dozen foreigners act as Hindutva fundamentalists to ferment disharmony in the country.

No one has brought in Mills in l'affaire Maggi so far. Any insights?

Love for Sanskrit literature today should not valorize warped Gender equations or anti-Democratic ethos besides Rituals and Superstitions.

Hindutva bandwagon latching on to Ram brand has been a mistake. In Odisha, for instance, there used to be no traditional Ram temples or Lila.

It's sad that Delhi Metro has snatched away a slice of history by not naming its Race Course station as Tughlaq Road. http://t.co/liAoomzKjY

Never forget Bengal 1905 - the crucible of Indian Nationalism. Social and Cultural issues emerged then are yet to be addressed adequately.

Ethical conduct is current and instant; not to be measured nor justified against some turpitude perpetrated in the previous week or Century.

Personal evolution is paramount and so when one's temporal trajectory tends to defy cultural or religious fetters, there's nothing alarming.

Vedanta is like walking around or sitting on the steps to the main temple of Veda. Strange that Hindus are so negligent about what Veda says.

Study of Sri Aurobindo's "The Secret of the Veda" can heal one of fundamentalist notions as to what one may or may not eat and how to dress.

Mimamsa repetition of rituals perpetuates status quo while the Vedic principle, as per Sri Aurobindo, spurs a graded ascent of consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo doesn't overlook the world of matter but insists that its perfection will accrue from higher principles of non-material realm.

Perfection ideals like Equality, Governance, Honesty, or Development are distant dreams and any immediate expectations need to be tempered.

Sri Aurobindo, too, was a critic of religion but the deeper significance he assigns to it differs widely from Max Weber or György Lukács.

Neither Ambedkar-Periyar nor Savarkar-Golwalkar offer a credible lens on religion and culture. Only Sri Aurobindo brings the Integral view.

Right in India is moribund with Hindutva as its anchor. Left has many vices but when it comes to the marginalized, they are much more ahead.

@RajeevSrinivasa Not quantity, quality matters on Twitter. Concentrate on Sri Aurobindo and regain your earlier status of a pioneer. Thanks.

Being spiritual is not to opt for seclusion & meditation; nor learning sundry techniques. Aspiring for a higher state of mind is the secret.

Reading unfamiliar things and arguing with unagreeable ideologies may not look as spiritual but it cultivates mind & opens up possibilities.

Aspiring for wideness in thought and feeling is the Vedic idea of Varuna and no other religious connotation or performing rituals is needed.

Market in India is much more ancient and efficient than the West. Linking Market to Prosperity-for-all is a supposition having no evidence.

[We are Like That Only by Rama Bijapurkar] http://t.co/4c8YSAVdLb

[Mother Pious Lady: Everyday India by Santosh Desai] http://t.co/Sgl09iO20n

It's wrong to assume that the Market will move towards efficiency given the complex nature of human emotions and priority of gratification.

That Govt. Subsidy is against the Market is another superstition. Market would welcome all kinds of interventions including earthquakes.

Certain parts of the world are more prosperous due to Colonial loot, Protectionist laws and by snatching talent and not due to free Markets.

Information symmetry is opposite to Market dynamics and, so, cartels and mafia operating within a thriving Market should be seen as normal.

Enthusiasts rue the absence of Market in India but fail to appreciate the incremental gains achieved over the years. People learn over time.

Never forget Satyam while thinking of Market and how the system lacked maturity to handle complex finance products and advanced technology.

Many naively hoped Indian Economy riding a Bullet train but no such illusions now! Let economy grow at its own pace sans Govt. tinkering.

Strangely, most BJP supporters openly tweet against Jaitley. However, the truth is this Govt will come crashing down in no time without him.

Bihar Election is going to be a turning point as the churning will convert the BJP beyond recognition; compromised on all avowed principles!

Modi fans are thoroughly confused now; don't understand how to justify his newfound inclusivism and neo-Secularism. Price of being in Power!

Modi and Kejriwal have captured power through unprecedented theatrics. They must never get a second chance to manipulate people's emotions.

Strong sentiments pervade the country for emancipating the masses from poverty and ignorance but Modi and Kejriwal are not the ones who can.

Both Modi and Kejriwal display unerring signs of being anti-Democratic and hence are anti-Evolutionary. All supposed virtues pale before it.

Modi and Kejriwal have demonstrated how the administration can run smoothly without them and in fact the MMS model is the most appropriate.

Politician is the wrong word. Actually they comprise of arrangers, brokers, contractors, lobbyists, mediators, liaison and service providers.

The secular way of viewing politics or economy as demarcated areas has its own validity in the sense that a broader Ontology is presupposed.

Journey from Gondwanaland to Google or Twitter empires has been long but points to a definite direction. No choice than to call it Evolution.

Rival nations or conflicting religions are part of Evolutionary play. Hence any hard stand on them can prove to be pointless and misleading.

Claiming to be Hindu without an iota of awareness about what the Veda communicates in its true essence is a humongous paradox and paralysis.

What you stand for is exclusively your own including its consequences. Quoting authority is merely a convenience and a pretext to impress.

@inrealisation In fact, selecting the right crutch out of the multiplicity is the whole challenge for which search and study must continue.

@inrealisation True, if one can really believe so but many come to infer that "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

@inrealisation No one can trap anyone; the human situation a bit more complex. We must be guided by Evolutionary aims and how people assist.

@inrealisation It should be taken in the spirit of enquiry; with scientific method. Why the Continental shift? for instance, or earthquakes?

What is the contribution of Vivekananda, Savarkar, Ambedkar, or Radhakrishnan towards the Veda? They score a big zero before Sri Aurobindo.

Researching Gandhi, Nehru, Netaji, Ambedkar, Savarkar, et al is a waste of time. Sri Aurobindo is the light which illumines the future road.

By respecting Ram, Rana Pratap, and Savarkar alternately, Mythology, Legends, and History are seamlessly blended by the Hindutva brigade.

Being in power Hindutva brigade is free to fight political opponents but to corrupt the minds of young generation by Mythology is abhorrent.

Political Parties of India are essentially Religious Parties. People must follow The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to escape this vicious circle.

Spiritual approach of Sri Aurobindo steers clear of the Secular and Religious extremes. It also arms against too much dependence on History.

Reading the books by Sri Aurobindo helps to get Vedic orientation so that one stops bowing before Mythology, Rituals, and Superstitions.
