Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through their writings has severe limitations

Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956) @NathTusar


As is well known, genuine Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are very less since most followers worship other gods and goddesses. Affiliation to other religions or allegiance to other gurus are also common. Rank outsiders dictate terms to Savitri Era Devotees. This must stop.
Maintain due decorum and safeguard their dignity if you are tweeting on matters relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo or Auroville. Clarity, neatness, accuracy, and avoiding comical or clownish blabbering should be a priority. Camouflaged handles should also stay within limits.
1) Always write The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. 2) Don't use their pictures or symbols as DP. 3) While pasting quotations, mention full details of the source. 4) Avoid multiple hashtags and don't tag handles. 5) Use written text instead of visuals. 6) Add a word or two to bare links.
The Secret of the Veda should be the gateway and instead of the Upanishads, The Life Divine would provide a synthetic overview.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the Supreme Divine and are One. Don't call them as Avatar because that's old formulation. Don't compare them with famous personalities or give much importance to those associated with them. Don't try to understand them through their writings alone.
1) Matrimandir is the sacred temple of a new religion. This new religion should receive the Govt recognition. 2) Auroville takeover by Govt has served its purpose and needs to be reversed. 3) Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo must be appointed as administrators of #Auroville

Right diagnosis is essential for effective remedy and both sides are on the wrong in current conflict of Auroville. Reversing Govt takeover is the first necessity. Removing non-devotees from the administration is the next. Status quo until drastic changes at the top is corollary.
There was no Internet and the message of Sri Aurobindo could reach me when I was in the primary school in an Odisha village. Let's hope that Auroville becomes trigger for right dissemination of The Mother's vision from the very Evolutionary fundament to the Supramental firmament.
Leftists among Sri Aurobindo's followers are vocal over ecological destruction of Auroville. Hindutva brigade similarly pursues its multi pronged hidden agenda to grab and appropriate. Savitri Era Party demands Auroville administration to be handed over to an independent devotee.
Lots of disinformation and misunderstanding on Auroville. Many practices are repulsive to majority of people too. But the basic thing to understand about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is that they represent the subliminal urge for evolution towards Vedic sublimity of Mitra-Varuna.
Twelve petals are the nucleus of Matrimandir and Auroville is an aspiration for possible physical manifestation of the qualities assigned to them by The Mother. It's simply a receptacle of Grace since The Mother said clearly that she didn't expect anything from the human beings.
Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy studied the case in detail and gave his dissenting judgement. Such an erudite verdict should be part of Indian Constitution. Auroville is a decorative extension of Matrimandir; it's a new religion. Govt. has no business in meddling with its inspiration.
Congress and the Left run a monochromatic campaign against Modi but he hasn't moved in predictable lines. Aiming at a horizon larger than RSS & BJP, he has been successful in harnessing strategic silence, surgical ambivalence and selective amnesia for continuing to be where he is.

No one feels responsible to explain why we continue to teach doctored history in India. Other disciples of Humanities are also infected by colonial bias and warped priorities. What's the meaning of Independence if we are unwilling to conduct a surgical strike on college syllabus?
Auroville is not about roads, trees, or renewable energy. It's not about the foreigners living there either. Auroville is synonymous with religion and devotion. For the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it has got immense significance and inspiration. Govt must return land.
Auroville belonged to Sri Aurobindo Society but of late it leans more towards Hindutva than The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Even then, it has all legal and ethical rights to own Auroville. Govt. should take its hands off a minority religious organisation as per J. O. Chinnappa Reddy.
Prior to pushing any development project in Auroville, Govt. must settle the property ownership. It has no right to decide the fate of an aspirational venture on which it itself is an unethical encroacher. Auroville needs to be returned to the devotees of Savitri Era Religion.
Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had built Auroville and once there was an internal dispute. If Mukesh and Anil fight, will the Govt takeover the whole of Ambani business? Then, why did it takeover Auroville? The Auroville property should be returned to the rightful owners.

Auroville has a chequered history and countless people have contributed. Present state is not ideal and residents are not the only stake holders. Current controversy adds to the problem without addressing the core issues. Savitri Era Party demands Govt. vacating unjust takeover.
Choosing content is a great advantage for which wide learning and awareness is necessary. The common academic approach of citing around a dozen sources to draw an inference can be defective since eminent authorities might mislead. Therefore right insight is the thing to look for.

Economic disparity is no longer a concern or a moral issue. Even, recent victory of the farmers is highly lopsided. Glamorous sectors attract loads of promoters while no one is willing to help the really needy. Geography keeps people deprived since the last mile is never covered.
Purnanga is the word which fascinated me after acquaintance with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in 1964. They promised Purnanaga jibana through Purnanaga joga and Purnanga sikhya. Chetana ra rupantara appeared to be a few steps away but today we understand how futuristic the goal is.
Overnight experts on Auroville are not aware of the S.P. Mittal case which examined whether Auroville were a fresh religious denomination. The dissenting judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy holds the key to a long term solution and not the present attempts at window dressing.

Technically, it's not the fruit proper but just a fleshy stem.
Modern civilisation has given us numerous advantages and comforts but many are against our own biology and psychology. Good life concerns have eclipsed life skills and finance elbows out simple joys of life. Striking a balance is impossible. So right tilt is a better proposition.

Auroville shouldn't be a site of chaos, anarchy, or long protests. It's under Govt control and systems have to be respected. However, Savitri Era Party has been demanding grant of Democracy and local govt to Auroville. Takeover has to be reversed and refunded to rightful owners.
It's unfortunate that Auroville Foundation forgot about Prime Minister eating crow on the farmers' issue and embarked upon a dictatorial ego trip. Where is the consulation process? Public should have been informed of the complications involved and possible fallout of resistance.
Auroville is in distress and there is a deluge of prayers and petitions. These are the reasons why we need our own party. Don't beg; build your own strength. No survival without politics. That's what Savitri Era Party has been harping on for the last fourteen years. #SriAurobindo
We have repeated time and again that neither RSS nor the Congress is capable of realising the dreams of Sri Aurobindo. Both Socialists and the Communists too follow flawed ideologies. Savitri Era Party has to build itself from the scratch for fulfilment of this appointed goal.
The Left in India has many shortcomings and skeletons in the cupboard. Their ideology may be out of fashion but a blanket denial of their fight for human rights, neglected social issues, empowerment of marginalised, and high standard of scholarship doesn't stand test of scrutiny.
Present world has no meaning without the potentiality of evolving to a greater status. That's the basic premise of Sri Aurobindo and he is sure of its inevitability. Thus, all endeavour for excellence are geared towards this lofty goal. Collaborating with them is expected of all.
Touch any stone and there will be layers of legends. Not only in India but all over the world. Tourism industry keeps them alive and social media has become an easy puddle to peddle all unconfirmed stories. Critical faculty of people is getting impaired as Mythology is empowered.
Most of us delude ourselves of leading an ethical life but we overlook many blemishes. Many are used to virtue signalling which may vanish under trying circumstances. Scepticism of such liminal scenario is normal but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have posited ethical values as firm.
Last special day of the year for remembering the incredible story of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Physical Immortality, Divinisation of Body, Supramental Consciousness, and a World Union are audacious dreams they have left behind. Nothing concrete barring "a shelf full of books."
Whether it has any bearing on the elections ahead is difficult to say but it has become almost a routine now. Milking such incidents for sympathy/hatred has become staple. The kind of outrage witnessed today instead of solemn mourning is a stark pointer. And all this as Dharma!
Challenges ahead to be transparent and critical while examining various currents of discourse including the writings and work of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. [If we can and must be severe critics of Enlightenment, it is Enlightenment that has empowered us to be so. Terry Eagleton]
