Many give a verdict on Sri Aurobindo without reading even a page of his writings

Evolution hates status quo. Self-determination on linguistic lines has remained suppressed for long. I may be wrong but that´s my feeling which I claim to be in consonance with Sri Aurobindo´s prediction of a World Union (broadcast on August 14, 1947).

RSS is trying hard to transform itself but somehow it can't shed the Jai Shriram slogan although Ram doesn't evoke equal reverence across the country. Any way, RSS moving towards a direction Sri Aurobindo would have liked is certainly heartening. Those facilitating deserve kudos.
Manmohan Singh was a puppet for ten years and Modi is a puppet for seven years now. A PM drawing direct support from the grassroots hasn't happened till now. Real involvement resides in the States which are actually separate nations. Central govt. is a conduit for manipulation.
Not autonomy but I'm campaigning for Sovereignty to the States. That may sound too futuristic but will materialise through Evolutionary pressure. As regards performance of Modi, it's pedestrian. All bureaucratic measures; where's the leader? He is a puppet; his hands are tight!
Democracy in India is in a very bad shape. It's the responsibility of we the citizens to set it right. Either the present election process has to be thoroughly changed or the States given Sovereignty. Otherwise, we are suffering from a sham Democracy and are deluding ourselves.
Sri Aurobindo dealt with Karma in The Life Divine but abruptly ended the series in ARYA. After that he started Problem of Rebirth in a speculative mode. In SAVITRI, he examined it from different angles. Further, there are Letters too but never expect any definite answer from him.
Ananda entils a trinity, i.e., Sar-Chit-Ananda which had turned Anna through Involution. Evolution is the return journey where Vigyana is in the middle. Creation is not something stable or static; it´s a matter of our perception and hence has been equated with Maya.
There was nothing upon this planet (Anna - matter) after which came the plants and animals (Prana - life). Then appeared man (Mana - mind). Supramental is the next stage (Vigyana). Ananda is the last Kosha as enumerated in the Taittiriya Upanishad. Sri Aurobindo modifies Darwin.
Too many baddies is a wrong generalisation. Each one is endowed with multiple potentialities and a lot of them are doing good work. Each one has spiritual qualities which may not be visible but can spring forth at the right moment. Supramental is very much here and shaping events
Those who haven´t gone through Sri Aurobindo´s books thoroughly can´t understand him properly. They won´t be able to ascertain his worth or assess his genius. So how do we expect them to give #SriAurobindo the national status that he deserves? Let´s hope someone advises the govt.
Mahabharata contains lots of later additions. The same is with Gita. Too much of stress on scholastic aspects of spirituality makes it heavy and disjointed. Integral Yoga, otoh, is pivoted on Aspiration. Action of the Supramental under the Evolutionary pressure is a facilitator.
Many scholars are obsessed with dating of ancient texts. They have undergone so much of additions and alterations. New kings must have sponsored new compilations. Names of authors may not be authentic. So, it's better to read their content only. Any glorification is preposterous.
Integral Yoga and Integral Education Aspiration, Rejection, and Surrender Nothing can be taught; mind has to be consulted From the near to the far.

Certain things are unpalatable but needs to be told. Leave aside the emotional response of off putting. Please do a rigorous academic analysis and see the results. Most people haven't read even a page of Sri Aurobindo's writings but never lose any chance to give a verdict on him.
Over a million devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are there in Odisha and regular seminars and conferences are held round the year. [45th All Orissa Sri Aurobindo Integral Education Centres’ Annual Teachers’ Meet(19,20,21&22 Oct -20) youtu.be/T3-vF6UofdE via ]
You have been at top level administrative as well as political positions. Ignoring #SriAurobindo has been a great blunder for this country. This error has to be rectified. An ethical anchor and icon can make people see reason. A political force can emerge. twitter.com/SavitriEra/sta
