Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

2004 election results were unexpected but the same can't be said about 2024. BJP lost the mandate to rule but this democratic indication was not respected. The present govt lacks legitimacy and stability. Clutching on to power isn't a virtue. Let's expect more churning this year!

Devotees of Savitri Era Religion worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises, viz., individual, universal and transcendent. Comparing them to other leaders or writers therefore has no validity. Surrender to them vital.

If one loves The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and understands the value and mantric significance of their words, he will certainly not like to throw them on the roads. It's by their grace that we follow meanings of a few sentences. A new person should search and reach the fount of joy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have discussed various facets of different religions but have avoided recommending any. Savitri Era Religion has no connection with other religions or rituals and devotees are expected to practice Aspiration, rejection, & surrender, or Remember & offer.

Publication of "The Mother" book in 1928 can be said to be the beginning of Savitri Era Religion. The concept of Integral yoga took a drastic turn as The Mother not only took charge of Ashram and sadhana of the disciples but also was identified by Sri Aurobindo as Supreme Divine.

It's wrong to confine Sri Aurobindo as simply Rishi, Yogi, Guru, or Avatar. His works can be studied as a scholar but when it comes to spirituality, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine. No other name can be mentioned along with theirs. It's Savitri Era Religion.

What can be a good anchor for protecting one from the onslaught of constant media intrusion? There can't be any better avenue than Savitri. Remembering a few lines every now and then provides the needed profundity and gravitas whenever one experiences emptiness or purposelessness. 

At 68, I'm excluded from many aspects of general life and work but meaning of life and a right worldview continue to be of relevance. Since The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are most neglected in India although they hold the greatest knowledge, it becomes very important to tell of them.

Normal to retirement and old age.

The Life Divine is famous for its dense prose but in reality it is very simple and straightforward. Being conversant with the polysyllables Sri Aurobindo uses is the first step. To keep on reading is the secret. This is one book which everyone should read.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/21

It's very important for the followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to adopt a balanced view on different aspects of life. Many nourish antipathy towards the West, for instance, but Sri Aurobindo's poetic inspiration comes from English poetry. He is also an advocate of modernity.

Ideally speaking, spirituality shouldn't bother about politics but since Hindutva is promoting a brand of knowledge which is patently anti-evolutionary in nature, then offering the right alternative is in order. Savitri Era Party is fired by the 1947 #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo.

When Congress was ruling the country, most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were its supporters. A similar situation exists today as people spontaneously follow BJP. Attraction towards power is natural. Savitri Era Party however is showing an alternative ideological avenue.

Meditation can have adverse effects, says a news item. I don't have much experience on this score and hence avoid recommending any form of practice. There is no guru or guide in Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion is the safest that entails surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. 

Savitri Era Religion is completely voluntary without dependence on anyone else. Devoid of any fixed codes or rituals, surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only requisite. Plenty of books and videos are there online for orientation and research.

Just found the source in the Life Beautiful book by M.P. Pandit. "Yes, but with the same love, I can plunge a dagger in your heart."

Hindutva is synonymous with hatred and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have no place there who preach harmony. Congress too is against Sri Aurobindo since the Surat split in 1907. Savitri Era Party seeks to establish that an alternative movement is possible without religion or castes.

Many here pose as being erudite and well read whereas they haven't read a single book of Sri Aurobindo. Millions of educated Indians live with this deprivation and there is no effort for remedying the situation. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF since 2005)

"India has 26.52 crore students in schools and 4.33 crore in higher education institutions," but the question is what do we teach them. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were deeply involved with education and have written extensively but policy makers are yet to take benefit from them.

Self-interest operates universally and not for a chosen few. Depends upon how free is the environment. But expecting a time-frame for the results to show may be at odds.

November 24, 1926 is known as the foundation day of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry which is going to complete one hundred years within a couple of years. Historians don't think much of its role in influencing anything substantial pertaining the nation, but reality is otherwise.

Immortality or Supramental consciousness seem to be too distant a goal for the people in general. The prophecy of The Life Divine, therefore, provides fodder for philosophical research. The Secret of the Veda, on the other hand, is to the point. It hits hard mythology and rituals. 

Just like millions of involuntary activities taking place within the body, evolution also goes on, incessantly, in all spheres. Simply put, it's the effort to return to the primordial perfect state. How entropy can be understood in this scenario is, of course, for the specialists. 

The beauty of The Life Divine is that Sri Aurobindo fuses spirituality and religion with physics and biology. In other words, the gulf between the secular and sacred is obliterated successfully. Tethering the march of current affairs and history to the waves of evolution is splendid. 

Ambedkar formed Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabaha in 1924. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was founded in 1925. Communist Party of India was formed in 1925. And Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry was established in 1926. All these currents of political thought carry considerable significance. 

Savitri Era Religion (2006) is beholden to Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy for pronouncing in his dissenting judgement (S.P. Mittal vs Union Of India And Others on 8 November, 1982) that devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are entitled to form a new religion.

2022 - 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo

2023 - 50th anniversary of The Mother's passing away

2024 - 110th anniversary of The Mother's arrival in Puducherry & launching of the Arya

2025 - 120th anniversary of Bhawani Mandir

2026 - 100th anniversary of Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

Politicians have the unenviable task of securing victory for their parties which may not be in the scheme of things of evolution. When defeated, they prefer to stay in opposition instead of changing their ideologies. Savitri Era Party's ideals are based on Sri Aurobindo's vision.

Visited the ghat today where Sri Aurobindo had arrived in Chandannagar before leaving for Puducherry in 1910. His statue is there within a small park meant for children. It's adjacent to the famous Strand. I stay across the river in Authpur which falls under Bhatpara Municipality. 

Most of Sri Aurobindo's writings belong to the Colonial period. Besides, being educated in England, he had that global view. His philosophy also is universal in nature. The Mother too had an international background. Thus, the attitude of binding them to India, alone, is myopic.

The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo answers many intellectual conundrums raked up by Darwin, Marx, Spencer, Nietzsche, Freud, Bergson, Frederic W. H. Myers, William James, and Einstein. He has also been compared with Samuel Alexander, Whitehead, Teilhard de Chardin, and Jean Gebser.

Savitri Era Party possesses ideological muscle

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Twenty first century was thought of as ushering in widespread progress but unfortunately, the ideology of hatred of Hindutva has vitiated the atmosphere in India. Followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have this responsibility to disabuse people of their attraction for Hindutva.

80 - 20 would give a more authentic look!

History tends to paint its players as black or white but Homer used to be more sympathetic by drawing attention to the gods who were acting from behind. The Mother too dubs Hitler as being a tool in the hands of hidden evil forces. The occult is a fact even in Hegel or Heidegger.

Conflict is the basis of biology which expresses itself in various forms in society. But virtues like liberty, equality, and fraternity are also real insofar as they are seen as achievable goals. Sri Aurobindo explains it in evolutionary terms since creation emanated from harmony. 

India has been facing a vociferous challenge from Hindutva since 1990. 2024 election results demonstrate that some resistance has been offered by the combined force of casteists and atheists but Savitri Era Party, driven by Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, possesses ideological muscle. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the greatest contribution of 20th century. It's not just coincidental that World War I broke out after Arya was launched by them in August 1914. I got to know their teachings in 1964. Investing my life in studying their philosophy has been rewarding.

There are many facets for understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
1) Story of their lives
2) Their writings
3) Story of the Ashram and Auroville
4) Writings of their direct disciples
5) Scholarly books and articles
6) Activities of local Centres and Schools
7) Podcasts and videos.

The Ashram was a laboratory as The Mother & Sri Aurobindo used to put it and hence it doesn't exactly represent their philosophy. Auroville was created to be a more faithful reflection but it's still struggling. In any case, the world at large is the real field. All life is yoga.

Many are posing as experts on Sri Aurobindo but they should disclose their exposure. Admitting ignorance is the first step to knowledge. Proceeding to learn systematically is better than bluffing as reading just one or two books is not enough. Lastly, surrender to The Mother is key. 

The Foundations of Indian Culture has been renamed as The Renaissance in India incarnateword.in/cwsa/20. Many have been misled by this book to be avid followers of Hindutva and its muscular nationalism. It's crucial to remember that Sri Aurobindo wrote it in different circumstances. 

Peter Heehs showed that Sri Aurobindo had almost no connection with Hinduism. After reading his speech, it occurred to me that the way Sri Aurobindo has reinterpreted the Veda, the gods and rituals have no validity. Since then I have been campaigning against mythology and rituals. 

Beyond Man (1997) by Georges van Vrekhem (Beyond the Human Species in American edition) is an outstanding book which highlights the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The same is also found in his other books like Patterns of the Present (2002) and Hitler and His God (2006).

A lot of debate was going on on whether Integral yoga is turning into a new religion. Then, I read in The Penguin Sri Aurobindo Reader (1999) edited by Makarand Paranjape that though they repeatedly warned against a cult, "Sri Aurobindo himself deified The Mother and vice versa."

I was volunteering at different book fairs at Pragati Maidan from 1996 to 2008. The stall was organised by Gyanchandra of Sri Aravind Chetana Samaj. Sunlit Path by The Mother and Living Within series by A. S. Dalal were selling the most. Ved Rahasya used to attract Hindi readers.

Books by Rod Hemsell like The Philosophy of Consciousness, The Philosophy of Religion, The Philosophy of Evolution, and Sri Aurobindo and the Logic of the Infinite are excellent introductions to Western philosophy and psychology. His The Poetry of Sri Aurobindo reveals rare insights.

Savitri Era: Savitri Era Religion can disrupt Hindu Rashtra

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

I have said it often that I don't find anyone today who understands The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, adequately. Accordingly, I have been writing independently since 2005. My political interpretation angers many, but there's nothing personal about it. Their writings are crystal clear.

There's no escape from the fact that UP and Bihar will decide who rules India. Congress has tasted blood and can double its tally in 2029. It has the backing of the Left intellectuals. In such an event, it's back to the position in 1977. NDA has to metamorphose into Janata Party.

Sri Aurobindo's #ThirdDream was #WorldUnion. Although there's not much clarity as to how this would be possible, my theory is that the States should be granted Sovereignty under a loose federation so that it grows by co-opting neighbouring nations and becomes a magnet for harmony. 

I have been suggesting that 2024 has ushered in a lot of changes that are of evolutionary import. New seeds are being sown for overthrowing the past discourse. The dreams of 1977 remain unfulfilled. It can receive a fresh impetus. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo hold "the rudder well". 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo meeting in Puducherry in 1914 marks the beginning of the end of all religions. He has explained how inner core of all religions have vanished leaving behind a pell-mell of external paraphernalia and mechanical rituals. Savitri Era Religion is the future. 

In The Synthesis of Yoga, Sri Aurobindo has described the significance of religion in all its essence. There can't be any better book than this. His detailed analysis of work, knowledge, and devotion dovetailing into a yoga of self-perfection is masterful.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/23

Any discussion on religion, including Hindutva or Minorities, is defective without considering the vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Demographic issues are fodder for politics but democratic ethos transcends such concerns. Internalising the evolutionary direction is important

The democratic spirit has been fully activated in the last election. The dressing-down Modi received from the electorate is duly reflected now in the subdued hues of his costumes. Hindutva, too, is on the wane and is likely to make way for more realistic concerns like employment.

The beauty of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings is that religion is not a compartment apart. All life is yoga and all kinds of work, including politics, form a seamless whole. Quest for perfection and thirst fo harmony drive every activity of a human being. Surrender is key.

The most important date of last century is March 29, 1914 when The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met in Puducherry. They are the one Supreme Divine and love and devotion to them is essential for onward journey of evolution. Sri Aurobindo's #ThirdDream of August 14, 1947 is #WorldUnion. 

The Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo has many defects but the overall scenario it builds is inescapable. Any socio-political theory has to be understood in terms of an interplay of the four Suns, viz., Varuna, Aryaman, Mitra, and Bhaga, as delineated by him in The Secret of the Veda.

Most Xriters consider themselves as superior specimens of Human species and blame others for various ills of the society. But, benchmarking morality can be very dicey without reading the books by Sri Aurobindo. The Mother's psychological nomenclature of flowers, too, is relevant.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Savitri Era Religion is about exclusive loyalty towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and belief in their prophecy. No other religion or mythology is involved here nor any other guru. Cf. Judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy.

Concern for one thing can corrupt or devalue the same for something else. Loyalty and gratitude towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't be traded for things of lesser importance. My devotion towards them as a child came before the knowledge aspect or any intellectual conviction.

Japa of The Mother's name or Ma is recommended as a potent method of invoking evolutionary force. Reading Savitri or any other book by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo loudly also has the effect of the Mantra. Remember and offer forms the core of Integral yoga or Savitri Era Religion.

History of religion in India is too complex and spurious Babas milking the ignorance of common people is no different from govt siphoning temple funds for financing revdi culture for reaping electoral benefits. Savitri Era Religion worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is safest. 

Rupala, a Dalit, accused the Kings to have supported the British and entering into marital relationship which infuriated the Rajputs. This is one of the reasons of BJP's defeat and shows how history can create volatile situations. Savitri Era Party seeks to dilute caste identity.

Many minds have been corrupted by Goel, Shourie, and Naipaul. What India needs now is the healing touch of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Reading Savitri is an evolutionary demand. Descent of Supramental consciousness can happen through collective aspiration. #FiveDreams show path.

The so called maturity of Indian voters stems from the fact that different States vote in different ways and local factors lend to overall unpredictability. The last election however saw more of one-to-one contests reflecting correctly the mood of people. Two party system needed.

Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, and Congress. It believes in universality and human unity in terms of #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Religion also seeks to free people from the tyranny of mythology and rituals by spreading the message of The Secret of the Veda.

Refusing to acknowledge Sri Aurobindo as a socio-political thinker or religious scholar continues. On the philosophy front also his influence is minimal. But the greatest neglect he suffers is in the domain of poetry. Even an epic like Savitri is almost unknown among the students. 

Most people are not aware of historical details about Sri Aurobindo's writings. While lots of political and journalistic coverage came out during his Freedom struggle days in Kolkata, his mature thoughts got expression from 1914 onwards in Puducherry, after arrival of The Mother.

There are different proposals but Delhi Metro @OfficialDMRC should connect Vaishali with Ghaziabad Railway Station on the Vijay Nagar side. Similarly, Noida Electronic City should connect with Mohan Nagar via Sahibabad. These missing links can provide immense relief to the public. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo worked for fulfilment of the evolutionary project that has thrown man as a transitional being. This is something much sublimer than Nietzsche's notion of Overman as descent of Supramental consciousness is intertwined with the Vedic target of Immortality. 

Appreciating the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo certainly requires high intellectuality and cultural awareness, but coming under the umbrella of their love and protection is relatively simple. Savitri Era Religion is an easy avenue of nearness to them and understanding them.

All political parties run on the old formula of castes but Savitri Era Party is confident of demolishing it. There's no magic wand but being aware of the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can transform the mentality of the people. Secret of the Veda is the key. 

Forsaking mythology and rituals should be the sign of an educated or intelligent person. Sifting superstition from true religion should be a part of modern and rational environment. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offer abundant guidance on this score. Savitri Era Religion facilitates. 

Evolution was being discussed avidly on many fronts, but by writing The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo gave it the final meaning and explanation. Not only physical or psychological evolution but he connected it to the social and political sphere as well. His The Human Cycle is a gem.

If Bihar is बिहार and not विहार, then Sri Aurobindo should be written as श्रीअरबिंद but it may not convey the meaning as lotus.

Each person has his own unique trajectory of life and my example may not have any bearing on thinking of others. But the fact that I represent a certain distinct political and religious line has its own significance. My gratitude to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for this opportunity. 

When A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking appeared in 1988, it fuelled an intellectual upsurge. Ontological discussions became frequent in the media. The Tao of Physics (1975) by Fritjof Capra and The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979) by Gary Zukav provided philosophical fodder.

Savitri Era Party is against doing politics on warp and woof of religions and castes. Discovering unity among citizens is possible by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Those dependent on votebanks should realise that the evolutionary arrow hates narrow loyalties.

I have seen how people were blinded by Indira Gandhi's charisma. Arun Shourie and Indian Express played a stellar role in exposing her. She was resoundingly defeated in 1977. Modi similarly rode high in popularity but has been defanged now. Dhruv Rathee contributed significantly.

Savitri Era Party believes that Sri Aurobindo, with his evolutionary Vedic vision, forms the golden mean. It believes in universality and human unity without any dependence on a votebank with the warp and woof of religions or castes. #SriAurobindo's #FiveDreams is driving spirit.

PV Narasimha Rao once said in Parliament that he saw a computer for the first time in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry. IIRC, it was the Special session for 50th anniversary of Independence. Auroville has made a name in sustainable development but same is not true for technology.

Savitri Era Party attempts to bring the futuristic vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to public notice so that current political motifs and idioms are transformed radically. It has implications for development, lifestyle, health, education, economy, entertainment, & technology.

After one year of our marriage, I and my wife had visited Puducherry and Auroville in 1980. I had bought the pocket edition of Savitri which became a source of inspiration. Later on I had procured many books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo when VAK published them in a smaller size.

If virtues of Congress are lauded, no harm in highlighting its blunders. It's understandable not to stray too far before the Independence but the history after it shouldn't be doctored or forgotten. The JP movement signified evolutionary potentials and whoever supports it is good. 

A person, who is aware of Sri Aurobindo, launching a broadside against Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Winston Churchill is a bit disconcerting. Historical narratives need to be evaluated in terms of their evolutionary validity and relevance. Even the current affairs pose the same challenge. 

Disenchantment with BJP and Modi is clearly visible now, but it shouldn't translate into a direct advantage to Dynasty. Savitri Era Party is the most logical option in the circumstances as it conforms to the evolutionary objectives. Constitution needs to be purged of castes blot.

As devotees, our reliance is on the will and intention of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in all things including politics. World is changing fast and their writings face the vagaries of time. Savitri Era Religion, however, is confident of their designing a sublime future, infallibly.

BJP has been enjoying power since 1990, but has been reluctant to invest in knowledge. Hindutva has been adopted as a vote catching mechanism without any visible sign of promoting excellence. Its intellectuals are enjoying power and pelf, dishonestly. Sri Aurobindo is the answer.

Anyone reading the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can easily notice the futility of religions but the solution is not to reform them. That's impossible and therefore they didn't attempt anything of that sort. I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006 precisely for this reason.

Learning from life, general education & self-development, plus deep engagement with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings has taught me a lot during the last sixty years. Political and technological changes too have played their part. Surrendering to TM&SA is the only way forward. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provided a new lens to the humanity in 1914. They drew attention to the most fundamental issues of evolving to a higher level of consciousness and achieving Immortality. This transcends racial, national, linguistic, religious, ethnic, or caste divisions. 

If we look at the lives of early disciples like Nolini, Purani, Amrita, or Pavitra, it's amazing how they were called to stand as pillars for the Ashram that was taking shape. Reading their books convinces about inevitability of the evolutionary process unveiled by Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo spur heightened awareness of individuality, as against the tribal mentality. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is a very good book on this theme. So, widening the intellectual horizon and rising to a higher level of consciousness is essential.

Everyday, we come across epic fights between two different Hindutva intellectuals and the issues are never resolved. The problem is, "the more we nail down the particle's position, the less we know about its speed and vice versa." Knowledge needs to be explored without prejudice.

People are in the habit of comparing Sri Aurobindo with others. Of course it's part of one's intellectual journey but whole of life shouldn't be spent in this. The best way to benefit is to accept The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the greatest philosophers and the one Supreme Divine.

After forming Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005, I launched Savitri Era Religion in 2006 and Savitri Era Party in 2007. All are intended to inculcate exclusive loyalty towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are harbingers of new knowledge since 1914. savitriera.blogspot.com

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't depend on any University system. They published the new knowledge in a journal in 1914. The Ashram grew up around them later to take it forward. Today Internet provides immense opportunities for dissemination but unfortunately some are misguided.

Savitri Era Religion can disrupt Hindu Rashtra

Savitri Era: Be a soldier of harmony

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, President, Savitri Era Party (2007), Founder, Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Director, SELF (2005).

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Many are accusing Modi and BJP of not doing enough for Hindu causes. Those who are so concerned about Hindu issues should unite under a separate banner and run the organisation democratically so that clarity is there on different demands. Lambasting on social media is pointless.

I felt happy to read The Rise of Hyper Hindus by Makarand R Paranjape. Election results is prompting many to recalibrate strategies. 1992 was definitely a negation of what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo had embarked upon in 1914. Savitri Era Party has been consistently reiterating it. 

Modi supporters are begging for unity and keeping mouth shut within their ecosystem. This is a panic situation. Politics and democracy, however, run on different rails. This is understood very well when seen against the backdrop of Emergency's anniversary which I remember vividly. 

Savitri Era Religion promotes worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine instead of other gods, goddesses, or gurus so that people are liberated from the influence of mythology, rituals, and superstitions. Savitri is a poem based on Vedic aim of Immortality.

Future Shock was an influential book in the last century and the situation today is not very different. But the way The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have crafted the path to the future is absolutely unique. Once in a while one can be tempted towards activism but the route is Aspiration. 

You didn't mention how Indira Gandhi had undermined various institutions.

All kinds of opinions float here but my intention is to use my experience of last sixty years to instruct young generation. I was born and brought up midst the deprivation of an Odisha ଓଡ଼ିଶା village, but had received the highest riches of knowledge of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The hold of religions on human mind is something phenomenal. So much so that, even great scientists or philosophers don't escape from their overpowering influence. Savitri Era Religion seeks to introduce the new knowledge of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the bedrock of education.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave new knowledge in 1914 which remain largely unknown, today, in 2024. I keep on repeating many things because there's no better thing to repeat than the significance of their divine appearance on earth and contribution to the intellectual tradition.

There are close to one thousand schools in Odisha bearing the names of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and there seems to be no outward sign of their students following the ideals they were taught. Spirituality, of course, is about inner living.

I heard about the book for the first time. Education surely can come from diverse sources and turning points do arrive in life. Further, something is already sown into our lives which blossoms at the appointed hour. But the tragedy is, a turn towards the evil path is also common!

By the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo the election results indicate that the Modi menace is on the wane and Hindutva's appeal is receding. Many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been misguided during the last two decades and let's hope that they realise the mistake. 

What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have revealed in 1914 can't be subordinated to Western philosophy or Indian mythology. It's the responsibility of the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to show the supremacy of this knowledge and yoga. Opposing anti-evolutionary forces urgent.

Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, & Congress. We follow the universality of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and aspire for the descent of Supramental consciousness as outlined in the #FiveDreams broadcast of August 14, 1947. We demand returning ownership of Auroville to devotees.

Indira Gandhi was responsible for subverting democratic ethos in the country. But, how does that justify Modi doing exactly the same now? Erasing shameful episodes from school textbooks won't change the consequences of Karma. Higher powers are always there to enforce retribution.

No representation from Muslims in the Govt proves that the Constitution of India has become dysfunctional. Same would have happened to SC/STs had there been no reservation. It's the responsibility of the political parties to give shape to the letter and spirit of the Constitution. 

Debate is on whether BJP losing the 2024 election amounts to a defeat for Hindutva or not. But the analysts are intellectually crippled without any orientation on Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Party has been boldly claiming for the last two decades that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary. 

As a child, I disliked mythology and rituals and got to know The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in 1964. The course of my life changed without much effort on my part. This also saved me from being attracted towards other gurus and traditions. What happened to me can happen to anyone else. 

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005 I have been observing that people are suffering from ideological confusion. High level of prosperity and education is not able to salvage the situation. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have devised a very safe and secure path

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo assure that things will change under evolutionary pressure. What's happening right now, in Punjab or elsewhere, is a transitional stage. But, a few individuals can drive change in thinking through their sincerity and persistence.

Distortion by Leftists and Hindutva enthusiasts has left history mauled. Savitri Era Party has a different take on events on the basis of Sri Aurobindo's insights. Like we don't respect Vivekananda, Tagore, Subhas, or Gandhi as much. We don't admire the present Prime Minister too. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings are enormous. Besides the books by disciples are many. No University can provide this much knowledge

36 volumes incarnateword.in/cwsa

19 volumes incarnateword.in/cwm

13 volumes incarnateword.in/agenda

36 disciples incarnateword.in/other-authors

Savitri Era Religion is a modern and rational alternative with the most coherent philosophical framework. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo revealed in 1914 hasn't been superseded. All must follow for fruition of the #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947.

Whatever literature in Odia I had read during my school and college years, I have mostly forgotten them. I, generally, use Odia, Hindi, English, and Bengali. I also read Sanskrit when required and can understand Punjabi to an extent. But I'm not confident in any of the languages.

There should be sincere effort to read different books of Sri Aurobindo instead of trying to justify pet political theories through random quotations from him. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are not confined to an India or Hindu-centric worldview. So widening own horizon is important. 

Savitri Era Party & Savitri Era Religion are the best alternatives in the present condition of India. Recognising the significance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's future vision is necessary for all educational institutions so that people turn conscious of their evolutionary roles. 

Sri Aurobindo restores the primacy of the Veda and emphasises that later texts like Upanishads or mythological literature indicate degeneration. By assigning symbolic interpretations to various Vedic deities, he delegitimises the rituals. Understanding this basic fact is crucial.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present and lead the evolution. I'm not much aware of political situations elsewhere, but in India, it, certainly, looks like a watershed moment as old debates relating to the 20th century seem to be giving way.

A lot of debate goes on around castes and securing votes on their basis is a major concern. We know Sri Aurobindo's position but that may not be applicable in the current situation. Migration, marriage, and modernity is breaking the caste barriers and castes purity is vanishing.

Savitri Era Religion ushers in freedom from mythology, rituals, and superstitions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo insist on inner living but don't encourage occult practices. Holding on to a rational bent of mind is essential to "fight successfully the great battle of the future...".

Many people are in the habit of mentioning Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo interchangeably or jointly but thankfully, the practice seen in the photo of CJI in RKM, doing the rounds, has no relevance in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry. Individual autonomy and dignity are paramount.

Anybody can become an influencer today but only those who are conversant with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings have a greater claim to credibility. I don't find many on this platform to be qualified but learning is a lifelong process and due humility and sincerity is pivotal. 

Hatred on the basis of castes and religion is being fanned constantly. Here the role of Savitri Era Party is very important. We believe in universality and human unity as per the #FiveDreams broadcast by Sri Aurobindo on August 14, 1947. We are not bound by any ancient scripture.

Many gain self-satisfaction by quoting a couple of lines from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. But the task is a little more complex.

1) Accept them as the one Supreme Divine

2) Surrender all works and thoughts to them

3) Aspire for descent of the Supramental consciousness.

I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 for disseminating the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in response to interdisciplinary environment. Integral movement of Ken Wilber was a rage at that time and many Westerners were aware of Sri Aurobindo to some extent.

Success and personal achievement have a limited role. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aver that understanding the Veda is far more significant. The Life Divine lays bare the ladder of consciousness that is embedded in the Veda. How the forces of evolution rush for next rung is heady.

Social science took pride in materialistic analysis, and history ignored all occult indications. The Independence of India was chronicled as having nothing to do with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. This is the greatest folly we have been living with for the last seventy seven years!

That was before the World War I. Sri Aurobindo had thought of the term Arya as title of his new journal. He has written on its significance at several places. These days many people feel ecstatic just by using the word Dharma. They forget the kind of hatred and bigotry they spew!

Election results in Odisha has fermented doubts about the EVMs. It's unfortunate that democracy in India has come to be bugged by this nagging suspicion. It's not a question of who wins but why should the ruling party be stoutly defending it. Why to be so certain over technology?

If you are satisfied, it's fine. But the doubt lingers in the public mind. Modalities of democracy should be above suspicion.

I don't think only I and Elon Musk have expressed doubts on EVMs. Thanks for giving me that much of importance!

No scope for being worked up. Every citizen is entited to his fears and concerns, narratives and mythologes. I don't know why should I be deprived of them. Have mercy!

To say that human values don't operate where humans are involed seems to be a bit reductionist. To feel that one can change the course of events on his own, isn't totally true. To be aware of the larger picture and evolutionary trajectory is the challenge.

informaticsjournals.com/index.php/nmr/…

Savitri Era Party is only party which demands a new Constitution purged of all references to castes or religions. There should be complete equality without any discrimination or preferential treatment to anyone. All sorts of affirmative action should be left to political parties.

Life is nothing but a congeries of memories some of which get erased every now and then to make room for fresh inventory. It's impossible to be at different places simultaneously, and hence physical location is the source of most memories which are sequential but inconsequential.

Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. We draw inspiration from the theory of evolution as enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The core of Indian wisdom is Veda and they have proposed the yoga of self-perfection. Overcoming castes and religion is the answer. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the first step. Loyalty, devotion, and surrender are indispensable for yoga. Understanding their writings is impossible without their grace. Participating in evolutionary adventure depends on these prerequisites.

Savitri Era Party is driven by the new knowledge The Mother & Sri Aurobindo revealed in 1914. The #FiveDreams broadcast by Sri Aurobindo on August 14, 1947 clearly enunciates the road map for the future. Jaded and geriatric thinking needs to be jettisoned for evolutionary journey. 

BJP won a landslide victory in Odisha but a second rung leader was imposed as the Chief Minister. There were at least half-a-dozen popular aspirants for the post who were prevented due to infighting. But remote control works. Granting Sovereignty to States can solve this problem.

Having undergone the trauma of COVID in 2021 and CABG the next year I'm not very hopeful about spirituality at 68. But the basic existential questions of old age and death are absolutely relevant in the yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The dream of an ideal society too entices. 

Savitri is the modern-day Veda for the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. As a gospel of Immortality, its regular recitation is normal for many. Apart from the beauty and power suffused in its lines, the occult significance of Mantra is very much palpable, even for scholars.

Savitri Era Religion, with its elaborate intellectual reservoir, has an edge over older rivals. Sri Aurobindo's original works in English serves as an ideal connecting link among devotees spread all over the world. The Lives of Sri Aurobindo by Peter Heehs

archive.org/details/liveso…

RSS and BJP owe their existence to Muslims and to a lesser extent, the Christians. Conversion and appeasement etc are mere alibis and euphemisms but the real intent is a Hindu Rashtra where people of other faiths have no place. But Savitri Era Religion can disrupt this neat plan.

My voice doesn't have any appreciable reach but I have been emphasising that historians and journalists shouldn't ignore what happened in 1914. Puducherry was under French rule where The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met and brought out the Arya monthly magazine to set the future agenda. 

Current political issues pertain to a juvenile mentality. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo draw attention to basic problems that the Veda is concerned with. 121 people died yesterday, whereas Immortality is our birthright. AI is not the only avenue of superior wisdom. Consciousness is.

A case of "bad money drives out good".

Savitri Era: Indians haven't achieved Independence

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

While reading What Lucy fossil reveals about nudity and shame and Why remove caste markers among Hindus, I remembered The Mother and the way she guided a community to grow as Sri Aurobindo Ashram over a period of half-a-century. Myriad sociological dimensions are yet to be probed. 

India got Independence in 1947 but many people prefer to leave the country to become second class citizens elsewhere. They no doubt struggle with hybrid culture all their lives. From my own experience of migrating from my native State Odisha ଓଡ଼ିଶା in 1988 I know the deprivation.

That's the reality and can't be reversed but psychological suffering due to cultural malnutrition is a must. Thus it's for the individual to decide for himself or herself.

India with over one sixth population of the world has surely a special place. Its chaos and colourfulness has much to contribute to the ontological melting pot of the human condition. But the picture is incomplete without The Life Divine or Savitri by Sri Aurobindo. All must read. 

Each person's life is a different trajectory without any scope of any comparison with others. This is best explained by the Exclusive Concentration theory of Sri Aurobindo. So, feeling proud to have studied Science, or earning more, has no justification apart from self-validation. 

BJP not getting majority has applied body blow to Hindutva and Savitri Era Party feels vindicated. Ignoring The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is anti-evolutionary and understanding this is necessary for both trads and the tards. Savitri Era Religion is the hope for harmony in the world.

Being in politics means getting work done; generally, by circumventing the rules and procedures. It also means rewarding the unqualified. Looking for symmetry and rationality is against the principles of nature. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo however promise Supramental consciousness. 

The 40s are said to be peak of life and many feel confident to pass conclusive verdicts or even write books on life. Old age is generally seen as an aberration or to-be-tolerated appendix. While sex and sensex play significant roles, acquiring right philosophical bulwark crucial.

Leftists and Nehruvians have been opposing Hindutva both ideologically and politically. Idolising Modi however has robbed Hindutva of whatever semblance of legitimacy it had. Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine in 1914 which should occupy the dominant consciousness of the nation.

Just glanced The Times of India at RRTS Station and had to keep it back quickly. 

~ Man, son shot dead in spat over watering their farms in Niwari

~ Family 'unhappy', two newborn girls killed and buried in capital

~ Suicide: Man from Assam kills self; wife gets to know, ends life

Most Indians are not conversant with Greek poetry or mythology but Sri Aurobindo wrote a long poem titled Ilion which is a sequel to Homer's Iliad. His grasp on the Western spirit was very intimate and insightful. Those who want to tie him down to India or Hindu theme should read. 

How much one can access his inner countries by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is subjective. I have been a devotee for the last sixty years but I don't claim any higher level of consciousness as described in the books. But the ideological path I pursue has a clear advantage. 

I was working as an Officer of Punjab National Bank in their Head Office in Delhi but opted for voluntary retirement at the age of 44 in 2000. I believe that life is not a money-making machine and instead of being sucked into professional life, one should be a soldier of harmony.

With Socialism in vogue, last century had some respect for simplicity and austerity but current century has turned out and out hedonistic. Human civilisation has progressed in leaps and bounds but man hasn't become civilised. "today we see a humanity satiated but not satisfied" LD

Role of ambition in life is high but understanding its dynamics is also crucial. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo foreground the Vedic aspiration for Immortality before which all other longings get dwarfed. Instead of treating it as impracticable or fiction, collaborating is desirable.

I haven't read them but those conversant with the Top 20 Self-Help Books For Personal Growth can easily notice that what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo bring to the table is missing. Savitri Era Religion is the only way for aligning with the evolutionary forces for peace and harmony.

It's implicit but not much clear. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't have the exigency to dwell on Hindutva nor their direct disciples, except for Nadkarni, very briefly. I have been writing against Hindutva for the last two decades and election results have boosted my confidence.

Most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are connected with some Centre or Institution. They have their own obligations and aren't free. People are naturally drawn towards the govt of the day and thus are prejudiced. However I have the opportunity to provide independent views.

Story of birth of Sri Aurobindo Ashram is interesting. From bombs to football to five or six persons using a single towel to take bath grew as an intellectual and spiritual powerhouse. The Mother arriving in 1914 from France adds to the mystery. Savitri Era Religion is the future. 

I can't arrange even two persons in our colony to listen to me. So, if my posts reach around two dozen people, it's a great privilege. I can't say about other SM platforms but discussion on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on X is negligible. My old posts are at

Savitri Era: India and Hindu are not synonyms

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Most parties have been reduced to a personality based environment whereas Savitri Era Party is driven by the evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Intellectuals, in our country, must understand the difference and act, accordingly, for the sake of a healthy democracy.

I'm not fond of fiction and hence prefer to spend time on this platform. Nowadays however more and more satire and imaginary scenarios are being peddled by many known handles. So it's becoming difficult to differentiate between fact and fable. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy is better. 

Disinformation didn't stop after British left as Leftists took over under the cover of the Cold War. When the digital era arrived, it was a field day for the Hindutva bandwagon. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been disseminating Sri Aurobindo's line of thought since 2005.

After conquering Odisha, West Bengal seems to be an easy target for BJP. Mamata losing is only a matter of time. But the similarity ends there since the vast Muslim population can shift its support to either the Left or the Congress. The SCs deserting BSP in UP is a good example.

Remembering, seeking their blessings and grace, and expressing love and gratitude to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a regular affair for devotees. The feeling of being exceptional, or even superior, may not be unusual when seen in the context of surrounding ignorance and falsehood. 

The greatest contribution of ancient India is the Veda the keys of which couldn't be found during the entire 19th century. From Ram Mohan to Vivekananda, all were clueless about it. Dayananda's valiant efforts didn't fetch much. Sri Aurobindo wrote The Secret of the Veda in 1914.

Freedom for citizens is the essence of democracy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo also emphasise each individual to be independent and unique, in spirituality. Thus, the effort of the political parties and the govt. to educate or impose various value systems upon people looks absurd.

Anyone visiting Auroville is bound to be intrigued. Impressionistic views on the basis of a few first hand encounters aren't a true assessment. There're enough online resources to know and research. It's not perfect but represents evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. 

Encouraging conversation but please ensure discussions don't suffer from malnutrition. Ignoring Sri Aurobindo is not going to give any long term solutions.

Debate on decolonisation is surely complex, as Samir Nazareth explains. For us, the followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it's further complicated. Not rejection but synthesis of what is best from the West is the approach. Thus it's distinctly different from Hindutva’s hatred.

It's widely believed that Advani's Kamandal was against Mandal but ultimately Govindacharya helped BJP to internalise it. Later, Kulkarni attempted to shift focus from it. Now many thought Modi to have unhinged politics from such minor irritations. But Mandal is back with a bang.

The Prime Minister lost mandate to rule but instead of abiding by democratic ethics, he is heading a shaky coalition. To make matters worse, he is yet to be elected as leader by his party MPs. Reliance on personality cult may be a strategy but the tragedy is zero intrinsic worth.

The beauty of Savitri Era Religion is that anybody anywhere can be a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. There are no lifestyle stipulations nor any prescriptions for practicing spirituality. Imbibing the teachings or growing internally is a slow process and can't be evaluated. 

On 4th of this month, India experienced a mountain of lies and bluster relating to Hindutva crumbling. From 1992 to 2024, its journey has been devastating. But the alternative to it is in no way superior. Securing maximum number of votes, in the name of secularism, is not enough.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo avoided dabbling in politics but applied their spiritual force wherever necessary. Savitri Era Party doesn't claim clairvoyance, but insists on an attitude of surrender to them so that their grace guides our steps. Becoming an instrument in their hands.

The number of people of my vintage who have lived under all the Prime Ministers won't be much on this platform. Besides, I had visited the venue of the AICC session in Bhubaneswar in 1964 where Nehru had fallen ill before his death. I have also watched Rajiv Gandhi at Sundargarh.

Most Hindutva intellectuals are beneficiaries of Nehruvian liberalism but built a career by speaking against it. This hypocrisy is hard to digest, apart from their projected hollow myths about India's great future. Living in America and dreaming about India was icing on the cake!

Economic development of Odisha and West Bengal lag behind due to evolutionary reasons. Perceiving this is important as against the modern management-driven outlook. That's the advantage of reading Sri Aurobindo's books. Aspiring for higher consciousness is the most desirable task. 

Freedom fighters were active in the last century, and books are being written on them. Freedom fighters are also active today, and books will be written on them in the next century. Freedom is a Vedic virtue, and we need to understand its value from the writings of Sri Aurobindo.

The only competence I have earned in life is reasonable familiarity with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. The opportunity given to me to be a player in the social media is a blessing. I was educated to be a school teacher, and I am spreading knowledge and right perspective.

Odisha can be said to be an oasis where I spent the first 33 years of my life. Free from Tagore and similar Bengali influences. Free from Ramcharitmanas and other such mythological texts prevalent in North India. Free from Shankaracharyas and allied sects dominant in South India.

There's no easy answer to which book of Sri Aurobindo a newcomer should read. Further one may be more interested in his political life than his more important philosophy or spirituality. There are other facets like poetry and literary criticism. So open any page and read is best.

Odia: ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଓଳିଆ odiaolia.blogspot.com

I'm witness to the sorry spectacle of how people have been misled by Hindutva during the last two decades. Orientation in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo helped me to show the right path through Savitri Era banner. I don't think, anyone supported me in narrative war.

Reading a couple of pages of what Sri Aurobindo wrote in 1914 can reorient thinking of any educated person. All educational institutions and Universities should realise the significance of his utterances and act accordingly. Ignoring the greatest philosopher is suicidal for India. 

Auro Talk series by Dr. V. Ananda Reddy on comparative philosophy #SriAurobindo Richard Hartz, Larry Seidlitz, Dr. Vladimir Yatsenko, Dr. Soumitra Basu, Dr. Martha Orton, Dr. Beloo Mehra, Lakshmi B, Dr. Sreekala Nair, Dr. Madhumita Dutta, Dominique Schmidt. 

Savitri Era Religion originates from the collaboration between The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine. Their spiritual role in defeating Hitler is the most prominent event of modern history. Establishing Supramental consciousness is the future aim. 

Politics, obviously, is more tangible than spirituality, and hence, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo fail to gain much popularity. Savitri Era Party, however, has been trying to provide an alternative direction to politics since the Life Divine is, very much, a culmination of politics.

A library can surely be protected by deploying an army but what about a human being? How can he be rescued from the jaws of death? Sri Aurobindo dealt with this question by taking up the Savitri legend. It's the most fundamental existential concern. A talk. 

Many Hindutva Intellectual Kshatriyas are equipped with Engineering and/or Management degrees while being well versed in History, Politics etc. Although such versatility is commendable, lack of orientation in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy and Psychology makes them ethically crippled. 

If political parties can tempt the voters by promising direct cash transfers, then why the same is objectionable for religious conversion is difficult to understand. Religion, like education, should be free to choose and needn't be a lifelong affair like monogamy. MPs can defect.

Indians haven't achieved Independence since the States are yet to be granted Sovereignty. This election has thrown these contours into stark relief and new sensibilities should develop among educated men to notice them. Sri Aurobindo, in his #FiveDreams, has predicted #WorldUnion. 

Sri Aurobindo analysed different systems of yoga and devised his own 7x4 model in The Synthesis of Yoga. But after The Mother's final arrival in 1920, he introduced the surrender to The Mother element cementing the three fold Integral Yoga as Aspiration, Rejection, and Surrender.

Sri Aurobindo's books may look difficult but Savitri Era Religion attempts to make them accessible. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the first step. Faith in the fact that they are the greatest philosophers is the second. Reciting Savitri, third.

Savitri Era: Simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle

savitriera.blogspot.com/2024/06/simpli…

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Recognising that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine is very important since it helps not to compare them with others. Concentrating on their writings also helps for not wasting time on general books. A firm belief that they are the greatest philosophers is key.

Election is the most important aspect of democracy but it doesn't guide an individual as to on what basis to vote. Political parties employ all kinds of inducements for attracting the voter's allegiance. So irrationality scores over reason. Savitri Era Party invokes Sri Aurobindo. 

The Constitution of India celebrates the autonomy of the Individual, but political parties hard sell tribalism. It's not easy for any individual to strike the right balance between these tensions. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Identity politics is the order of the day, but Sri Aurobindo exhorts for universality and human unity. Savitri Era Party urges the educated to rise above narrow ideological boundaries and collaborate with the evolutionary forces for establishment of a society based on Harmony.

Sri Aurobindo promised The Life Divine but it's difficult to perceive how it would take shape given the complexities obtaining now. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine by embracing Savitri Era Religion is the only means for facilitating this prospect.

My father was a school teacher and armed with a BScBEd degree I too taught in my village school for one year. Then after serving PNB for 24 years, I took voluntary retirement. Thereafter, I have been tending Savitri Era group of blog sites dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and their writings are contextual and secondary. Understanding them as being always present in their three poises, viz., individual, universal, and transcendent, is crucial for descent of the Supramental consciousness on earth. 

Sri Aurobindo has described the symbolic interpretations of various Vedic deities which can be read profitably with the spiritual significances assigned to the flowers by The Mother. Such ethical paradigms have also been woven into the Constitution of India. It's for us to adhere. 

Hundreds of books in different languages have been written for explaining the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Now one can watch any number of videos on these aspects. Savitri Era Religion is more about worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and surrendering. 

Caste-based voting pattern seems to be the future but Savitri Era Party aspires for an enlightened society where rationality and fraternity operate. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only means for ushering in a new ethos and intellectual climate. 

incarnateword.in/cwsa

Truth was a top concern in the last election. Falsehood spread by the godi media came under scanner. Wrong numbers of Exit polls were widely criticised. So ultimately truth matters and that's basic ethics. Building temples has no meaning unless attitude of defrauding people ends.

Sri Aurobindo is the greatest philosopher and poet. His writings provide lifelong intellectual and aesthetic fodder. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and consenting to receive their love and grace is necessary to derive the maximum benefit from their writings. 

The problem is the country, the nation, the people, or India didn't do anything during the last ten years. Everything, including construction of highways and launching of new trains was done by Modi. This pathetic attempt of taking credit or selling the name is puerile and stinks. 

Capturing booths was a local and physical affair. Hacking of EVMs is invisible and of unimaginable scale. Both can't be compared. Convenience shouldn't be the priority at the risk of jeopardising democracy itself. It's a matter of debate and shouldn't be treated on partisan lines. 

No intellectualism can have any validity in India without incorporating the timeless insights of Sri Aurobindo (not Vivekananda et al), and scholarship on both sides of the isle are found wanting. Reading The Secret of the Veda is fundamental to understanding Indian civilisation.

Sri Aurobindo has been able to present a different dimension based on evolution of consciousness.

A lot of rumbling is going on among the Hindutva intellectuals and it was bound to happen. I have been warning about this for the last two decades. Hindutva is nothing but a quixotic exercise. Having read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1964, I was never attracted.

Education in our country is managed at multiple levels by authorities belonging to diverse political persuation. But Sri Aurobindo doesn't find receptivity anywhere. Such stonewalling is ruining the culture and spoiling any pursuit of excellence. Reversing this trend is necessary. 

While his knowledge of other things is commendable, his grasp on Sri Aurobindo is still not sound. A friendly reminder!

Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. Being inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision, it believes in universality and human unity. Those who are against votebank politics of castes and religion are welcome to join it and work for Life Divine.

Discussion on old religions is useless since they are based on mythology and superstitions. Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and intellectually coherent religion which is aligned to the evolution. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present. 

Twenty first century, for many people, meant that India and Hindu are synonyms. 2024 elections have proved that it was a mistake. The diversity this country houses is enormous. Further, the evolutionary trajectory is aiming at something else. Books of Sri Aurobindo are true guide. 

Many here feel too confident of understanding Vedanta. Even they comment upon the occult significance of rituals by citing Veda and other scriptures. Then they talk about sadhana also to add credibility. My request is not to believe them. Please read Sri Aurobindo's explanations.

There are plenty of online resources to know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Many authors are also available in YouTube videos to throw light on different aspects of their philosophy and yoga. Anyone seeking any clarification on them may ask in the comments with due politeness.

Savitri Era: Being a prisoner of any metanarrative is a disability

President, Savitri Era Party (2007) & Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006)

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Dowry demanded during my childhood was ଘଣ୍ଟା, ସାଇକେଲ, ଓ ରେଡ଼ିଓ watch, bicycle, and radio. That was the level of technology sixty years back. So much have changed including WhatsApp University, Godi media, and Lifestyle vlogs. Human emotions and expectations have not changed a bit. 

Both Vajpayee and Modi have strayed from the Hindutva due to Kulkarni Doctrine. India is growing organically and no one person or ideology can take the sole credit. Neither meditation nor spirituality can solve the problems faced by the common people. shedding hypocrisy is needed. 

No amount of success or ecosystem can be of help if one is following a wrong ideology. We have the example of Leftists and Congress supporters. The same is happening to Hindutva brigade, today. Savitri Era Party has responsibility for politics based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Uttarpara speech of 1909 is well-known. But mature writings of Sri Aurobindo began in 1914 after his meeting with The Mother in Puducherry. His #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947, towards the end of his life, marks a significant summary of his whole philosophy and mission.

Direct disciples have tried their best to analyse and popularise the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But they did not anticipate the Hindutva challenge and narrative war. I have been writing against it since I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005.

Power attracts and many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo became easy preys of the grandiose vision of Hindutva. Those connected with institutions turned allies of the ruling party. Savitri Era Party (2007), however, has been opposing the anti-evolutionary instincts of BJP.

Watched the latest DR video and his presentation of facts is brilliant. Prannoy Roy had started such sophisticated news telecast in India but unfortunately the situation today is abysmal. DR also reminds of Kejriwal. Video ending was invocatory but he needs to read Sri Aurobindo.

So many handles talk about Hindus specifically and not Indians. That means they exclude a certain section of people which is well-known. But the Hindus they pose to represent are divided into different factions. Some factions don't consider these handles as their representatives.

Savitri Era Party demands that the maximum two terms principle should be applied even if the ruling party returns to power, tomorrow. Charisma, sycophancy, personality cult, or such other symptoms of herd mentality should be eschewed in the interest of a healthy democracy. Thanks. 

Defeat of leadership and defeat of ideology likely. A great day for Indian democracy since protest has been duly registered.

Modi ruled two terms since Mayawati was responsible for division of votes in UP. It's because of her sacrifice this time that Akhilesh has done well. She deserves all credit.

Obsession with Modi has corrupted the minds of his supporters. They are not discussing ideology, targets, or issues. They are not bothered about the party or democracy. Any sane person would demand change of leadership and course correction but sadly the supporters have coarsened. 

Mandate is absolutely clear. Modi got ten years to perform, and people want a new face. It's the responsibility of every party to make this happen. Further, the politics of religion has run its course. Bread and butter issues are more dominant now. No party can afford to be deaf.

By the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, election results have electrified the democratic spirit in India. The fear of the country hurtling back into the Middle Ages is no longer there. Checks and balances of coalition politics will enforce due transparency and accountability.

Savitri Era Party has been showing the correct ideological path since its inception in 2007. Reading the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo lends clarity to thought but intellectuals in our country unfortunately are enamoured by religious fanaticism and mythological fiction. 

From ideological point of view, Savitri Era Party favours universality, i.e., a polity without any discrimination on the basis of castes, religion, language, or gender. But being under the Constitution, respect for diversity, reservations, social jusice, and socialism is a must.

Believing in mythology shouldn't force one into imagining fictional prospects in politics which is a hard nosed affair. Emotional issues have limited appeal and ultimately economic factors determine the course of politics. This election has thrown these contours into sharp relief. 

Savitri Era Religion has been promoting an alternative intellectual as well as devotional avenue. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be seen merely as founders of an Ashram. Countless people have been recipients of their divine love and grace. One can follow them without ritual. 

Realisation is dawning gradually that Hindutva won't be able to award election wins. People's concerns are more important than spewing hatred and imagining a glorious past. Those enjoying good life by building a career on hatred must know that power in a democracy is not forever.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for human unity and world peace. They posit it as an evolutionary necessity as well as inevitability. Savitri Era Party has been emphasising need for this revolution of consciousness since 2007. Thankfully things have become clear in this election. 

It's interesting that when 50 years of JP's call for Sampoorna Kranti was being celebrated yesterday, BJP and JD(U) were joining hands to form a new govt at the Centre. So spirit of 1977 clearly seems to be in operation. Much depends on Modi how he modifies self-destructive model. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provided an elaborate blueprint in 1914 and India needs simply to follow. They have synthesised what's best from the East and the West. They have clearly indicated the road maps for the future for the whole humanity. Online books

incarnateword.in/cwsa

That's half baked and misleading. Sri Aurobindo provides the Integral view based on the Vedic evolutionary paradigm. Profoundly radical.

Hindutva intellectuals speak with a sense of superiority which they inherited from the Leftists. But unfortunately without winning elections nothing can be proved conclusively. The nation's conscience was severely injured by the temple movement and now is the time to make amends.

Some handles think every word of their posts is very important. They write four or five lines leaving space in between them just like paragraphs. It's irritating to read them.

The Constitution of India was adopted when The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were present. It was a huge step for the humanity in the evolutionary direction. It encapsulates the wisdom of myriad religions and philosophies. Monarchical functioning of Modi has been defeated in election.

This election has demonstrated how each State behaves differently from the others. Savitri Era Party has been demanding granting Sovereignty to the States so that they grow to their full potential limits. Modi regime should be a stark reminder of why unitary model is destructive.

Clamour for the Ram Temple dovetailing to sycophancy for Modi is the most tragic turn in India's civilisational history. Intellectuals and journalists who facilitated and legitimised this degeneration will be duly judged by the history. Savitri Era Party has shown the right path.

Social, political, and economic unevenness is akin to geographical unevenness. To understand the mystery of this, one has to study The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. So, mere platitudes are not going to alter the situation. Savitri Era Religion is confident about evolution.

A lot many people worked hard for this election result which has restored democracy but Mayawati, unfortunately, is responsible for Modi clinging to power. Anyway, churning in media is also a good sign. But schools should start a new course on civility in social media interaction. 

Remembering The Mother or Japa is not merely a devotional technique but a mechanism for invoking evolution. Aspiration for descent of Supramental consciousness and Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Integral yoga. Rejection of adverse instincts is third.

As old religions are being utilised for tourism, entertainment, commerce, and politics, the spirituality of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo comes as a breath of fresh air. Savitri Era Religion with no fixed systems of practice or rituals is the most modern and intellectual alternative. 

Hindutva is embroiled in mythology while Savitri Era Religion is based on the Veda. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo integrated the scientific theory of Evolution with the Vedic idea of Immortality which surpasses all previous religions and philosophies. Following them is Integral yoga. 

Electoral compulsion has mauled the Hindutva discourse badly and there's no scope now to be camouflaged by some overarching emotions like the temple. Debates over castes, further, is taking an ugly turn every passing day. Contradictions galore and Savitri Era Party is the answer.

Modi devotees masquerading as The Mother's devotees are causing immense harm. Lack of adequate reading and orientation in the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is a double whammy. I have been requesting them to pursue the path they are passionate about and stop adulterating Savitri Era. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave new knowledge in 1914 and in 2014, it was expected that steps will be taken for teaching it on a larger scale. Conversely institutions dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been taken over by Hindutva. Real estate in Ayodhya has been stolen.

Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is necessary for knowledge on philosophy, psychology, education, and political theory. Besides, poetry and literary criticism are also there. But the most important component is yoga or voluntary collaboration with the evolutionary force. 

Opposition fell short of numbers but it has won a much greater victory than forming the government. Trouncing the Modi fantasm with divine sanction was needed for rekindling Indian Democracy. Significantly, the opposition is led by the same party which gave rise to Indira Gandhi.

Hindutva supporters love to see the world in black and white terms. Intellectual laziness and easy fanaticism prevents them from studying other ideologies or discovering their merits. The world is complex and the creation is unexplained. So curiosity and inquisitiveness is needed. 

Having seen govts. of various hues, I have no happiness nor any particular expectation. How we can adhere to democratic values and constitutional norms is the only concern. Demanding ethics from greedy politicians is nothing but delusion. Still, rule-based functioning can ensure.

Describing something in two sentences never captures the truth in entirety. Role and relevance of Gandhi, Nehru, Congress, or RSS can't be told in a few words nor their influence be wished away. It's necessary to accept historical realities as interply of evolutionary trajectory.

By creating the Savitri Era banner in 2005, I have been publicising the relevance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on several fronts. Maintaining the genuineness of their message is crucial in view of widespread attempts to appropriate them or subordinate them to dominant narratives. 

Inflating self-esteem by expressing support for the Prime Minister is an existential need for common people. Pomp and ceremonies are geared to that end. But Monarchical or religious procedures are not apt for a democracy. Austerity or simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle.

Makarand R Paranjape too fits the bill.

କାଲି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଜିତିବେ, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଗତୁରା ଅଭିନନ୍ଦନ। ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରିବା, ଅଣଓଡ଼ିଆ ଓ ଅଧାଓଡ଼ିଆ ମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉପର ସ୍ଥାନ ସବୁ ନଦେଇ, ଖାଣ୍ଟି ଓଡ଼ିଆମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାଥମିକତା ଦେବା। କାହାର ଗୁଣ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କଲାବେଳେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହି କଥାଟିକୁ ମନେରଖିବା। ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଏକତା ଓ ସ୍ବାଭିମାନ ଲାଗି ଅଲଗା ଲଢ଼େଇ ଲଢ଼ିବା ପାଇଁ ପଡ଼ିବ। ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଭାଷାକୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଇବା।

Savitri Era: Transformatory paradigm of 1914

savitriera.blogspot.com/2024/05/transf…

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. Jan 22, 1956), President, Savitri Era Party (2007) and Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006).

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo's Relics Centres have been established at different places with allied facilities like meditation hall, library and school. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine and their Darshan Days are celebrated with utmost devotion and serenity.

Sri Aurobindo wrote a poem on Hitler titled The Dwarf Napoleon. In a similar vein, Modi can be called the dwarf Nehru. I have always maintained that whatever Modi does is a part of his strategy including his latest mujra. He will be remembered for keeping hardline Hindutva at bay. 

No national party could develop in India till now and hence the States need to be granted Sovereignty. The plight of Modi for acquiring a national image is a lesson. There's no reason why nearly 1.5 billion people be governed by one person. Time to correct the historical mistake.

Sri Aurobindo's treatment of history is complex being an interplay of pattern, sequence, and emergence.

"random seem the ways...,

Yet your least stumblings are foreseen above.

Infallibly the curves of life are drawn"

"Always our Captain holds the rudder well,

He does not sleep." 

Social media has become an integral part of our lives but what is needed most is civility and respect for others. Disagreeing is wholly democratic but insulting a person for holding a particular view is uncivilised. Ecosystem is good but being lodged in an echo chamber is harmful. 

There can be no better explanation of the world than what is offered by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. So, reading their books is the basic requirement. The next is to collaborate with the process of evolution for descent of Supramental consciousness by joining Savitri Era Religion.

I came under the influence of The Mother when she was there and most of the direct disciples were active. Books and periodicals in different languages were being published for spreading the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo. Seminars and conferences were a regular feature at Centres.

History of organised violence in India is not only between religions but also between castes, languages, ethnicities, and cults. Spoiling the present for past atrocities and poisoning the minds of young generation is a self-destructive game. Those building careers should refrain.

I alway thought Indira Gandhi's phenomenal charisma was mostly due to her feminine charm. But the kind of spell Modi casts upon people goes beyond his pull among the opposite sex or Hindutva. Non-Biological birth theory is a bit far fetched but 56 inch was a perfect imagery for young. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo inaugurated a new era in 1914 by launching a monthly philosophical magazine called Arya. I called it Savitri Era when I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) blog in 2005. Subsequently I began Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007). 

Every fourth day should be a holiday and all other holidays should be dispensed with.

Owing to a vibrant network of study circles, it's easy to be aware of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in Odisha which is not the case with other States. Devotees visiting Puducherry and Auroville should also find time to visit the Relics Centres situated in different parts of Odisha.

Acquiring reasonable competence on poetry and philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a difficult task and one may still be ideologically wrong after that. Savitri Era Religion facilitates transition from political or scholarly approach to devotional and practice of yoga path. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the bedrock of Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion has no connection with any other religion, mythology, or philosophy. The task is, Aspiration for descent of the Supramental consciousness and Victory over death.

What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gifted in 1914 is still waiting to be discovered by the people in 2024. The country is undergoing a very crucial political churning and let's hope that the new dispensation shows some receptivity towards the #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947. 

Culture and education are powerful mediums of imparting superstitions. Besides, each person harbours his own preferences for irrationality. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo present an alternative worldview. They draw attention towards the deeper truths of the universe and our existence. 

India has been host to many traditional religions but most of them are bugged by fictional mythologies and meaningless rituals. Even Ambedkar had no good choice to make. Savitri Era Religion is a modern and futuristic alternative fired by the vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Hindutva producing such a low level of politician like Modi is a matter of concern. No amount of meditation can wash away the mujra level discourse. Surprisingly, supporters don't find anything amiss. Reading Sri Aurobindo’s books can inculcate the right intellectual orientation.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against Hitler when many were eager to join hands with him. This is the most important mythological theme of 20th century. Right now, many streams of anti-evolutionary forces are in operation. It's necessary to follow Sri Aurobindo instead of duds.

Sri Aurobindo was drawn into the Freedom movement as a student in England and participated in it after his return to India. He also wrote profusely on political concerns but after 1914, his mature thoughts indicated deeper philosophical intricacies predicting harmony for humanity. 

Many intellectuals feel proud about Gandhi but have no respect for Sri Aurobindo. Gandhi was well-known even before the film and following him can lead to social harmony. But the harmony Sri Aurobindo is talking about is much profounder being an evolutionary leap in consciousness. 

People are confused today; who to follow? Gandhi, Tagore, Vivekananda, Subhas, Savarkar, Ambedkar, or Periyar? They represent different facets of modern India and inspire political as well as intellectual fermentation. I am fortunate to be a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine, and represent the evolutionary force active for descent of the Supramental consciousness upon earth. Savitri Era Religion has this tremendous advantage over the traditional paths and is free from jejune mythology and rituals.

The immense significance of the new knowledge distributed by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1914 is yet to be fathomed by the people of India as a result of which the evolutionary breakthrough is being delayed. Clinging to old systems is a terrible obstruction for Supramental.

It's commonly believed that Sri Aurobindo synthesised different religions and philosophies. But the truth is, he reinterprated traditional wisdom and reformulated them according to modern environment. But most of it is meant for intellectual exercise. His own contribution is new.

At a time when the strengths, weaknesses, and relevance of different political parties are being analysed threadbare, intellectuals should give a thought to Savitri Era Party (2007) which seeks to foreground the revolutionary knowledge of 1914 given by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Those interested in meditation can visit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch near NCERT which holds regular group activities.

sriaurobindoashram.net

Their YouTube channel is at @SriAurobindoAshramDelhiBranch

Hindutva may have contributed towards hubris but the hatred inherent in it can't be a help towards spirituality. This election therefore is an opportunity for restoring rationality and civility. The choice is whether to stick to the old ways of Vivekananda or follow Sri Aurobindo. 

The anti-evolutionary nature of Hindutva and Vivekananda should be clearly understood in the light of elaborate explanations of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. I have been alerting not to associate Vivekananda, uncrtically, with the Vedic evolutionary paradigm of Sri Aurobindo.

Meditation requires a robust bulwark of right knowledge for navigating the mind and consciousness. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore spoke about the dynamic meditation making a fixed posture redundant. Being conversant with the planes and parts of Being is necessary for result. 

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo should be cautious against various disinformation campaigns unleashed by Modi's devotees. All are free to claim divinity and establish new religions like Ambedkar. So, Savitri Era Religion is very particular about its own distinct identity.

A day to remember Harkishan singh Surjit.

Now that there is a slim chance of the opposition capturing power, it must be admitted that their combined effort in putting up a fight was praiseworthy. But this alliance business can't be a credible affair in a vast country like India. Savitri Era Party has the right ideology.

What Sri Aurobindo did and what exactly he said or wrote is less important for devotees than realising who he is since The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine. It is a matter of faith but can be arrived at by diligent study of their writings.

History has academic value but being a prisoner of any metanarrative is a disability. Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo teaches to be futuristic in approach and aspiration. Thinking in terms of national or racial boundaries is against the spirit of the #FiveDreams.

Lessons on life skills and psychology are so abundantly available these days that one may not be impressed by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books. But the secret is reading them amounts to evolutionary trigger or adventure of consciousness. Reciting Savitri too has the same effect. 

Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for the last sixty years has been a great blessing. Apart from navigating through different political and intellectual phases, their teaching has helped to tread an alternative course of life. Communicating it has been satisfying too.

It's easy to understand the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Hitler represented anti-evolutionary forces and wanted to bring an end to the human civilisation. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo defeated him through yogic power and rescued the world by reversing his plan.
