Most intellectuals are ethically compromised

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Sri Aurobindo's role in the Freedom movement and the subsequent phase of Ashram living offered him the opportunity to write. The Ashram has its own press and books distribution agency due to which his writings have been preserved for the future generations incarnateword.in/cwsa

One starts with the story books, no doubt, but not being able to graduate from fiction can't be regarded as a strength. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo encourage to know the mystery of life and the world. Reading their books is considered as part of yoga or a participant in evolution.

Many Hindutva intellectuals excel in exposing the weaknesses of the opposition but that's not the best way for proving your superiority. What intellectual ingredients would be of help in facing the challenges of future should attract attention. Sri Aurobindo is indispensable here.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine under the Savitri Era Religion, which came into being in 2006. Many of their followers are unwilling to join a separate religion and so are free to worship other gods or gurus. But it's wrong to follow two paths.

In the absence of anyone else expressing his or her exclusive allegiance towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform, my personal achievements over the years become important as basis for possible legal recognition of Savitri Era Religion which I founded way back in 2006.

Situation in Auroville is worsening day by day and it's now clear that the original dream of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has been successfully derailed. Matrimandir being the most important place of worship for the devotees, Auroville should be handed over to Savitri Era Religion.

Devotees of Ram Temple should exit so that genuine followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may breathe peacefully. Integral yoga is inalienably linked to surrender to The Mother and any admixture is inadmissible. Savitri Era Religion has been specifically created for this reason.

The Mother has given symbolic names to a large number of flowers denoting their spiritual significance and a similar attempt has been done by Sri Aurobindo to identify the Vedic deities by their intrinsic qualities. Aspiration for embodying these virtues is yoga of transformation. 

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were confident of giving some new knowledge to the world as against the then prevailing confusion wrought by the nineteenth century. They started the Arya monthly magazine in August 1914 wherein most major books of #SriAurobindo were published.

Although most of Sri Aurobindo's writings first appeared in the journal Arya (1914-1921), they weren't available for wider-reading until some of them were published as books, long after. The Mother used to stress more on the practice of yoga aspect than mere intellectual culture.

There's no other alternative to surrender to The Mother if one is serious about the descent of Supramental consciousness as the solution for all problems besetting humanity. Otherwise one is free to avoid Sri Aurobindo to follow any other guru or god. Such is Savitri Era Religion.

From the perspective of Savitri Era Party, intellectuals belonging to Hindutva, Congress, or Left camp are ethically compromised. Otherwise it's not difficult to perceive the truth of what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are saying. Exacting intellectual and ethical levels are needed.

Collective yoga is not confined to collective meditation that the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are familiar with. It is, basically, aspiration by the collective for the higher consciousness and voluntarily striving for it. Savitri Era Party aims to be such a collective.

Britishers manipulated the media and the narrative and the trend continued after Independence. Today it has become mainstream with added legitimacy, aided by technology. The voice of Sri Aurobindo, in this scenario, has been feeble but has powerful potential and ethical rectitude.

With its size and variety of population, India should have been an interesting area of research but the Western world neglects it. Western philosophy chooses to be in the provincial mould without any chance of contact with Sri Aurobindo. India itself is fighting against Hindutva!

All life is yoga entails religion as well as politics being part of our daily activities. Exclusive allegiance towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is essential for success in the right direction. Democracy has high ideals and there should be constant effort to arrive at Harmony.

Many people compulsively mention Bankim, Vivekananda, or Netaji before Sri Aurobindo's name. This is a judgemental error. Only The Mother should be put before Sri Aurobindo so that the right representation of their being the one Supreme Divine is put across as evolutionary force.

Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from early childhood I haven't faced any inducement to read Sanskrit scriptures or literature. Sri Aurobindo has done a splendid job in translating what's necessary and by writing commentaries on them. Going beyond is at your own risk.
