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.

The Mother passed away fifty years ago and the social organisations she created are in disarray. Savitri Era Religion needs to be on a stronger footing and be future-ready. Persistent vigilance required against traditional systems and rituals invading this new modern-day religion
Savitri Era Religion encourages politically correct viewpoints and historical narratives free from the pressure of mythology and legends. It imparts a certain respect for supra-physical realities while supporting scientific method. It believes in universality, but also diversity.
Savitri Era Religion is a futuristic socio-political and intellectual pillar of light. The Five Dreams of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947 form the basis of this optimism. The current political situation in India provides a picture of contrast and the need for evolution
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine supervising the future evolution. Seeking their love and grace in life is a wonderful opportunity. #SriAurobindo passed away in 1950 and #TheMother in 1973. They have left behind immense intellectual resources to fall back on.

(Interviews with Disciples of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville)
As part of the Savitri Era Religion for the last sixty years, I have been free from religious rituals and festivals, legends and mythology. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stress on psychological approach for progress in spirituality which is integral to their philosophy of evolution.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to hasten the process of dissolution of the old religions so that descent of Supramental consciousness can happen without much resistance. Savitri Era Religion is a small beginning towards that end and following it is the best option at the moment.
There are hundreds of conscience keepers of the nation active on this platform but as regards intellectual propreity, there is hardly any. Magnificently articulate people with thousands of followers are intellectual duds. They haven't read some key books; not even willing to read
The Synthesis of Yoga is the only book the chapters of which were published throughout the entire run of the Arya from August 1914 to January 1921. Only the first part, The Yoga of Divine Works was revised by Sri Aurobindo to be released as a book in 1948.
Sri Aurobindo has been able to alter the standard definitions of subjects like philosophy, psychology, poetry, and political science. Universities however are unable to appreciate his worth as a result of which they are still four to five centuries behind. incarnateword.in/cwsa
Sri Aurobindo, in his brief but profound treatise on Heraclitus, refers to the book, Herakleitos by Ramchandra Dattatraya Ranade, which can be read here. Many such rare books are available under resources for those interested in research on #SriAurobindo.

This compilation on Kant is extremely useful for those who are interested in the intersection of philosophy and spirituality and from the point of view of the pedagogical as well as technological advances like AI. Many can hear voices of postmodernism too.

Leftists reaped rich dividends from their ecosystem in the last century and the same model is being followed by the Hindutva ecosystem at present. Scholarship on Sri Aurobindo has progressed at a slow pace without such incentives or inducements. But thankfully, honesty is intact.
Science and technology is the driving force of the modern civilisation but Sri Aurobindo reminds of the power of the Humanities. His version, interestingly, differs from the Marxist variety prevalent in the Universities. In fact, his psychological explorations surpasses science.
Indians should discover the philosophical and spiritual significance of Sri Aurobindo instead of constantly wrestling with his historical role. One can spend one's life by simply reading his poetry or literary criticism. Deciphering his Vedic interpretation is equally engrossing.
The magnitude of contempt, disdain, and derision that the Hindutva camp suffered in the hands of the Congress and the Left was much more than even what the Britishers would award. From the point of view of Sri Aurobindo, however, the opposition to Hindutva is more philosophical.
One may or may not believe in the divinity of Sri Aurobindo but reading a book like The Life Divine forces one to realise about the superhuman ability of its author. One may or may not understand the book but simply reading it amounts to collaboration with the Earth's aspiration.
People are unable to know the difference between the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and the traditional Indian philosophy on the one hand and Hindutva on the other. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present and carry evolution forward.
Savitri Era Religion is universal and has no particular affection for any nation or civilisation. It provides a wonderful opportunity for lifelong education and aspiration without any atavistic pride or bigotry. All life is yoga which means surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had witnessed two World Wars and were acutely aware of the futility of the current civilisation. They were sure that the descent of the Supramental consciousness is the answer. So, it's for the people to believe in their words, instead of the past gods.
There's a difference between watching a video explicating the philosophy of #SriAurobindo and reading one of his books. Technology facilitates video and it's good for instant assimilation of information. But a book contains Sri Aurobindo's own chosen words including his revisions
No amount of triumphalism can make right what is wrong. No amount of crowd can impart legitimacy to an act of foolishness. No amount of bravado can save a crumbling castle. Sri Aurobindo stated his assertions with sufficient clarity. Listening to him can save from further errors.
Anyone claiming to be educated should have read a couple of books of Sri Aurobindo otherwise he or she is in Kindergarten! Newspapers have a neat arrangement of topics knowing which is considered enough for modern living. Sri Aurobindo lends some gravitas. incarnateword.in/cwsa
There are about a dozen drafts of The Life Divine before it started getting published in August 1914. Sri Aurobindo was aware of different views on evolution prevalent in Europe. But his attempt was to base his theory on the Veda. Cosmic Tradition by Max Théon also played a part.
There is a tendency to believe that some aspects of our society and economy are built by the god and the rest are man-made. The Integral approach, however, wouldn't brook such a dichotomy. Any attempt towards piecemeal solutions and reforms, therefore, is bound to be a failure.
Scholarly speculations and political exaggerations promise a better world but without any concrete basis. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo explained that it's only by rising to a higher level of consciousness, or descent of the Supramental, that the problems of the world can be solved.
Like Sarna, Savitri Era Religion also demands legal recognition as a separate religion so that Auroville can be handed over to it. Govt has no business in managing it since Matrimandir belongs exclusively to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who don't worship other gods.
In view of the prevailing scarcity of intellectual and ethical leadership in the country, Savitri Era Party invites all good people to either join it or work for it for creating a viable and credible political alternative driven by the future vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Savitri Era Party has been showing the demerits of Hindutva as well as the Congress since 2007. It's of the firm opinion that only the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the solution. It's against discrimination or preferential treatment on the basis of caste or religion.
Many people in our country are thoroughly dissatisfied with existing political parties but go to vote for them in the absence of alternative. Intellectuals must come together under ideological umbrella of Savitri Era Party to create awareness without hoping for electoral victory.
Some people are fond of speaking against Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Jawaharlal Nehru without whom thinking of modern India is impossible. Savitri Era Party encourages sound historical perspective even though Leftist historians have done enormous harm to the legacy of Sri Aurobindo.
From Lenin and Hitler, the world has seen enormous amount of changes during the last one hundred years. Human nature however hasn't transformed much. The spirit of love and harmony isn't easy to be found. All admirers, followers, and devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo unite!
Modern Western thought is greatly indebted to Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) occupies almost an equivalent position in India. Nietzsche rakes up philosophical and psychological problems while #SriAurobindo solves them in The Life Divine and The Future Poetry.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stressed on meditation and inner living when Television, Internet, and Mobile phones were not there. In the changed circumstances, Aspiration and Surrender are the best option. Reading their luminous books can provide the right intellectual undergirding
Aurora Mirabilis has seen 7645 hits this month. I have been tending a number of such blog-sites since 2005 which contain innumerable links and hints to varieties of knowledge sources. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum, I have a bias towards Humanities.

While reading hundreds of X posts every day, I profusely thank The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for having given me the right intellectual orientation and conducive circumstances in life. Also I have the satisfaction of not having let their teaching thrown to the wolves for two decades
I have been distributing the correct worldview without leaning towards the Right or the Left. Having worked in the field of knowledge outside the Universities and various ecosystems I don't represent any echo-chamber. My paper illustrates unique perspective

Political power coupled with religious fervour is spreading false narratives. Universities and the Publishing industry are propagating false philosophies. Savitri Era Learning Forum is the only place where one can find right perspective wrt Sri Aurobindo.
Religions impose lots of socialisation and collective activity. They also feed a lot of intellectual garbage. Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can liberate one from mythology and superstitions. The Mother passed away fifty years ago in 1973. Knowing her is crucial.
If Savitri Era Religion receives govt. recognition today, then ninety percent of the present followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will leave the scene, since most devotees are fake. The Ashram will stop receiving donations from all sections and its survival could be at stake.
Savitri Era narrative isn't widely known but possesses far more credibility than Hindutva, Congress, Marxist, or Dalit versions. Savitri Era Learning Forum has clocked 11692 hits this month which gives hope that really inquiring minds will surely benefit.
