The West has ignored Sri Aurobindo almost entirely

External things are so overpowering that deeper perception or perspectives get neglected. Size, quantity, or numbers hoodwink human beings. Tradition is another trap and tribalism is one more. #SriAurobindo alerts about them in The Life Divine. Please read https://t.co/IHl1DLMQaF

Excellent. But too much reliance on University syllabus. #SriAurobindo on the other hand has an intuitive approach who goes straight into the heart of things. The Veda is the basis he announces and blends it with Evolutionary imperatives. Not yo be missed.

This book is a mischievous compilation of #SriAurobindo's sentences. It's better to go to the original source and understand them within the right context. That will save from wrong impressions and needles delusions. Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA): https://t.co/N2vOxDWHZn

Many thanks for your good wishes. I always admire or rather envy your intellect and understanding. May Mother grant due efflorescence to fruition. The time perhaps is further away. Greater challenges or crises may be fermenting! All the best.

Many thanks my long time friend for your good wishes. It may take a month or so.

Crimes committed against Indians during the last one thousand years or more were by Kings and Queens whose sovereignty can't be challenged. It's futile to be sentimental or revengeful about it. Yet, many exploit those episodes to spread venom among the younger generation. Beware!

The West has ignored #SriAurobindo almost entirely although Sri Aurobindo wrote in English. Hardly any Twitter handle dedicated to discussing Sri Aurobindo's thought. Colossal wastage of instant communication facility. Universities are guarding their own agenda and narrative.

Don't find a single public intellectual in India having read Sri Aurobindo as result of which right understanding from a deeper perspective is missing. You can write hundred articles on Sundarbans but deeper ecological and ontological connection can't come without #SriAurobindo.

Actually both books are complementary. When The Mother returned on 24 April 1920, a new era began. Sri Aurobindo wrote on Faith and Shakti in The Synthesis of Yoga by which time The Life Divine had been completed. The genesis of The Mother book is there. https://t.co/ZIiA24Rnbi

Under post Covid home rehabilitation, my difficulties & deficiencies are many. Muscles are weak but Twitter provides stimulation to intellectual muscles. My tête-à-tête with Internet in 2005 has been such an exciting journey. My focus is on reading #SriAurobindo's original books. https://t.co/49Shv11hj2

When anyone is not sure of the situation, it's better to be silent and avoid any reaction. But, most act on political lines and parrot nonsense. It's important to understand that life's demands are deeper and hence knee jerk response is uncalled for. #SriAurobindo guides better.

Modi captured power combating unusual circumstances in 2014. But a lot of deceit and theatrics were also involved. He has transformed the Party and its ideology. He is the Party now; no one else has any clue as to how things move or policy issues. Fine, but no escape from Karma.

I have been campaigning for awarding Sovereignty to the States of India on linguistic basis under a loose federal set up. It will create strong internal solidarity as well as international clout. Diaspora can build up more organic ways of reorganising without an Indian identity.
