Reserve 2024 for reading Sri Aurobindo

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

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.

There are clear signs that the ideologies of dominant political parties are floundering. That's a big hope for 2024, even though it may not translate into favourable election results. However, an iota of intellectual superiority can go a long way. Indians, surely, deserve better!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are outside any institutional control or ownership. Initially one may be attached to some Centre or a School but the secret is to treat The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as your own and discover their myriad facets. Rituals and celebrations help but are a bar!

Confining The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to their biographical limit is an error. They are the one Supreme Divine and are always present. Etching this fact on one's mind is the responsibility of everyone for freedom from mythology and rituals and right guidance to younger generation.

Not to be able to accept The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and attraction for other gods or gurus is a weakness. It has to be offered to them as such, with a constant prayer as to how to overcome it. I haven't faced any such problem during the last sixty years.

Many sincere devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo feel revulsion towards Savitri Era Religion as it can't be validated by their writings. But my lived experience of the last sixty years duly documented during the past two decades is no less significant than Ambedkar or Periyar.

Discovering The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is not all that difficult. If one reads their books having a reasonable intellectual background, then their superiority comes to the fore and he or she can't go back to anything else. Easy way to eschew mythology.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo assure that India won't be pushed to a medieval scenario despite the attempt of the dominant ideology of the day. Other political parties lack intellectual wherewithal to fight for such a prospect. Only Savitri Era Party and Savitri Era Religion can do.

Most intellectuals haven't read the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and are busy spreading falsehood and ignorance. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been disseminating the Integral perspective through two dozen blogs since 2005.

Reading The Life Divine, The Human Cycle, The Secret of the Veda, and The Future Poetry can transform the intellectual landscape of anyone. Yet thousands of books are being published without any reference to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Indians must rise to this celebral challenge

Sri Aurobindo started publishing his mature works in August 1914 and 2024 is the right moment to be conversant with them. Reading them amounts to collaboration with the Earth's consciousness for descent of the Supramental light and force. Savitri is an invocation for Immortality.

People haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books because no one has told them to do so. Schools and colleges have been responsible for this. Media and the political parties are also complicit. But the role of the modern-day gurus in keeping Sri Aurobindo at bay is the most reprehensible

Reserve 2024 for reading Sri Aurobindo. This is an opportunity of the lifetime. The contours of his intellectual and aesthetic landscape is varied and full of wonders. The whole world and the whole universe will suddenly become so familiar and approachable incarnateword.in/cwsa
