Atheists should grow right perspective through Sri Aurobindo

Many intellectuals worked consistently and pushed narrative to bring the present Govt. to power but they have not been rewarded adequately. Their sense of satisfaction however is more vital. But they missed the opportunity of reading Sri Aurobindo's books. https://t.co/UQxaFgnaIF

The Synthesis of Yoga continued till the end and can be seen as richer than The Life Divine as Sri Aurobindo finished major works on Gita, Karma, and Poetry after it. Some atheists are taking interest in religion but they should grow right perspective only through Sri Aurobindo.

Right understanding of the past is essential for possessing a sound perspective for the future. History of ideas has been a fertile field since May 1968. Attemts like The Human Condition can be accused of a tilt... So, exerercising utmost caution while... https://t.co/fWYJ4YspBX

To understand the symbolism behind four goddesses, one needs to read Sri Aurobindo's The Secret of the Veda. https://t.co/RVKL6hPfj9

[Draupadi is a composite Avatar of Goddesses Shyamala (wife of Dharma), Bharati (Wife of Vayu), Sachi (wife of Indra), and Usha (wife of Ashwins)]

The Mother's symbol signifies her four core powers from which twelve powers radiate. Direct correlation with the physical world can't be established yet in a scenario of seamless consciousness things seem normal. But the demand of science to unravel the mystery is a valid project https://t.co/7GxQGSEucC

TV and Internet teach in a variety of ways apart from general and professional education plus job experience. Still, the situation of any individual is precarious and lopsided. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo invite to examine what is missing. They tell about the hidden forces of life

The Mother returned back in 1920 and seeds of a formal Ashram was sown. She was enthusiastic in 1972 that Sri Aurobindo's teaching should reach every home. Auroville conflict unfortunately was a dampener but their vision hasn't lost an iota of relevance. Indians need to recognise

A major mistake many are prone to is overlooking The Mother when she indeed is the foundation. Writings of Sri Aurobindo can give a very discordant picture without her harmonising effect. No wonder, Sri Aurobindo brought the ARYA to an end after her final arrival a century back.

Many don't know that Sri Aurobindo was a Christian and The Mother, a Jew. So, there is nothing unusual about their Western connection. Besides, their collaboration in bringing out ARYA in August 1914 was meant for integration of East and West by elbowing out Theosophical Society.

Freedom has negative connotations; freedom from some original bondage, tyranny, or subservience. So achieving freedom is supposed to be a struggle and constant striving. One possible meaning of All life is yoga is this. Sri Aurobindo chose the word Arya to convey this imperative.

ARYA writings of Sri Aurobindo (1914-21) were meant for removing many confusions accumulated over the previous century both in India and the West. This herculean task has not been adequately appreciated during the last 100 years. Votaries of Indian wisdom and values must wake up.

This brilliant thread tells the history but can't locate the invisible hand of Sri Aurobindo who later wrote [We welcome it all the more because it seems to be conceived in the same free and synthetic spirit as animates this Review. -Arya Aug 1914]. Tilak spoke about him in jail.

There's a misconception that Sri Aurobindo is not a philosopher because once he had remarked so. One of his best philosophical writings is The Problem of Rebirth which was serialised in ARYA 100 years back. He never gave the impression of resolving the mystery of Karma. Must read

After completing six successful volumes the first issue of the seventh volume of ARYA was published in August 1920. No one knew that it will stop midway and the last issue was January 1921. Sri Aurobindo overturned the wisdom of past six thousand years in these six and half years https://t.co/baEjklM6oK

BJP is in power and RSS has the remote but though their ideological lines are not very clear and they somehow revel in ambivalence, young Indians must search for authentic sources of knowledge and justifications independently. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had launched ARYA in 1914.
