Immersion, contemplation, and meditation

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era Religion is the culmination of three thousand years of human civilisation, both East and the West. It aspires for divinisation of body or physical immortality, dreamt in the Veda. It also strives for Supramental consciousness for ending strife.

Savitri Era Religion is an invitation to all people of goodwill who aspire for justice, fair play, and peace. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have assured evolution to the next level of consciousness and victory over death. Each one needs to collaborate with it

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

A section is of the opinion that the ruling party is acting undemocratically but I don't remember any party or govt acting democratically during the last sixty years. Hypocrisy has been widespread all along and hunger for power and money have reigned which will have consequences!

Like all religions, Savitri Era Religion has many ways as to how to approach The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri and The Synthesis of Yoga are ideal for immersion while The Life Divine and The Human Cycle are good for contemplation. The Mother and The Letters are for meditation.

I have been active in social media since 2005 and maintaining two dozen blog sites, apart from X, has enabled me to be in the business of thinking. Besides, looking at current affairs from the point of view of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy has been a constant challenge.

Most of the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't look beyond their personal sadhana and welfare. I as the President of Savitri Era Party, on the contrary, am concerned with the sociological aspects of our collective existence like Govt recognition for Savitri Era Religion

I have been opposing all political parties and hence my posts don't reach many. However, I have the satisfaction of taking an ethical and impartial stand on various issues. Reservation, for instance, may be good but it renders the Constitution as unjust against the other sections

In addition to air pollution or noise pollution, it's necessary to be aware of intellectual pollution. Most educated people haven't read anything by Sri Aurobindo as a result of which suffer from warped thinking and skewed logic. Some even write books the blind leading the blind!

There's no shortcut for knowing Sri Aurobindo or understanding his writings. The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and some of their direct disciples constitute one hundred books. The education system, unfortunately, is indifferent to the immense value of this knowledge hub.

Savitri Era Learning Forum, Ghaziabad has been trying to introduce people to new knowledge since 2005. Apart from the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo awareness of Western philosophy and futurology has been the focus. Right view on historical narratives too is a preferred area

It's by the immeasurable grace of The Mother that I have been able to run Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Savitri Era Party (2007) uninterruptedly, almost singlehandedly. It has been an unique effort considering immense technological changes.

Namo Bharat Duhai Depot Station is at a nice location. Developing a park nearby can attract more people for spending time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. @officialncrtc

Reading the books of Sri Aurobindo in original is necessary for assimilating the right knowledge. Mentioning his name on the basis of sketchy impressions or clubbing his name along with other great men should be avoided. The works of The Mother is an altogether different subject.

Wrong persons have been imposed upon the people as icons as a result of which educational ideals have become topsy-turvy. Neglect of Sri Aurobindo continues as no one in policy-making area is interested in his philosophy or prophecy. Self-effort needed to read and understand him.

Most people are curious about politics and hence the historical significance of Sri Aurobindo interests them. Some others are enthusiastic about the history of ideas who try to lacate Sri Aurobindo's contributions to it. Both have their own validity but real import is elsewhere.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram enforces discipline and silence which makes the devotees passive and aloof. I tried to introduce themes like politics and religion and many people have benefited from this discourse. The hegemony of Hindutva, however, is a roadblock and has to be surmounted.

Some Hindutva handles are consistent in quoting a few sentences where The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have mentioned some Hindu gods or goddesses. They are not willing to read anything else from their writings since they claim to have already received significant spiritual experiences

Savitri Era Party has no presence on the ground but it possesses immense intellectual legitimacy in comparison to the ruling party or the opposition. We pray to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for hastening the force of evolution so that the country chooses the right ideology in 2024.

We know about the ongoing evolution from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and are asked to aspire for the Supramental consciousness. Instead of looking at the course of events as mechanical, we perceive it as unfolding of the divine plan. It's wrong to treat the current phase as ideal.

Traditional religious morality on the one hand, and the current politically correct positions on the other, have imposed certain uniform pop-psychology on women and their choices. Assuming a fixed template of female mentality in all circumstances, and at their all ages, is absurd

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and doesn't harbour any mythology or historical antecedents. No one can be compared to them or be associated with their divine status. They are ever-present and shouldn't be seen as avatar or guru.

It has taken sixty years for me to be what I am today. The Mother passed away in 1973 and the direct disciples, one by one, thereafter. Today, no one is there to look up to. I founded Savitri Era Religion in 2006 for the safety of the devotees, so that they don't face harassment.

Savitri Era Religion is separate from those who consider The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as part of Hindu religion. Savitri Era Religion traces its justification to the dissenting judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy in the Auroville case. This minority religion seeks legal rights.

Birth and growth of a new religion is a long-drawn process. It germinated when The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914, in Puduchrry, to which I gave the name Savitri Era Religion in 2006. It's likely to replace all other religions as per the prediction of #SriAurobindo.

No biography of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo presents them conclusively as the one Supreme Divine. Their devotees are mostly silent and Hindutva agents are out aggressively to appropriate them. In the event it's necessary for Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party to be strong.

It's not easy for anyone to read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to understand them. They have been reticent about their own divinity and it has to be imbibed from the writings of their direct disciples. Savitri Era Religion helps in following them for seeking their grace

The logic of Enlightenment assures that people will be led in the rational route. The cycles of civilisation will by and large follow the same track, theorises Sri Aurobindo. But the trajectory is spiral and involves phases of irrationality. Hindutva is such a phase and we wait.

It's idle to believe that Sri Aurobindo didn't establish a new religion as he himself had identified The Mother as the Divine Mother, individual, universal, and transcendent. Savitri Era Religion is of those who don't worship any other god or guru than The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
