Different political parties are busy spreading their ideologies aided by money and organisation. Savitri Era Party is confident that knowledge alone can conquer and power of the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will be self-evident. Evolution of consciousness is infallible.
In view of the fact that various schools of thought and traditional systems are being promoted with all modern management techniques, the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo fails to reach the attention space of people. Those who are aware also don't feel interested about it
The Life Divine began appearing in Arya in August 1914 and within two three years, its groundbreaking philosophy of evolution was published. However, the world is callous towards it after more than a century. Let's hope that Sri Aurobindo is taught in Universities as part of NEP.
Sri Aurobindo wrote fresh appraisals of Veda, Upanishads, and Gita in Arya. He also tried to synthesise various spiritual attitudes towards a universal approach. His optimism for a harmonious society is a pillar of light. Consciousness, and not mere development, is the solution.
Spiritual experiences are subjective and hence surrender to The Mother is the only method of Savitri Era Religion for which The Mother with Letters on The Mother book is an excellent guide. This book is different from Arya period writings of Sri Aurobindo.
I had purchased Sri Aurobindo and Karl Marx: Integral Sociology and Dialectical Sociology (1991) by D.P. Chattopadhaya from Daryaganj Sunday market three decades back and I can't tell how much have I benefitted from the book to understand Sri Aurobindo. Deserves to be a text book
The Meeting of the East and the West in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy (1956) by Sisir Kumar Maitra is the main book which turned me towards Western philosophy. Sri Aurobindo and Bergson (1972) by A.C. Bhattacharya and Sri Aurobindo and Whitehead (1972) by S.P. Singh also helped.
Mythological background prevents rigorous ontological inquiry in India. Western philosophy reveals eminence of Sri Aurobindo's contribution in the history of ideas. Besides, his sophisticated presentation is also a connoisseur's delight. To top it all, spirituality and divinity.
Awareness about Sri Aurobindo as the topmost thinker of the country has increased in a great measure. But reading his works isn't an easy job. I was given this opportunity for the last sixty years which is a blessing. Those who will take it up will do a great favour to themselves
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo assure that whenever we read, write, or think about them, we are actually collaborating with the Earth's consciousness for descent of the Supramental light and force. Anyone with myriad imperfections is entitled for this. Integral yoga is so inclusive!
Knowing The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as they are is important. Apart from the outstanding intellectual resources they have left behind, they are the one Supreme Divine who are always present. Different books present their different facets. No book can reveal their complete picture.
Is anyone bothered by the fundamental menace of death? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have tried to raise the humanity to the deathless state of consciousness. It's an audacious adventure. One must believe in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them.
Savitri Era Party provides an alternative to Hindutva as well as Congress. It's against reservations which validates discrimination. It's also in favour of granting Sovereignty to the States on linguistic basis for formation of World Union as per the #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo.
Sri Aurobindo was born on August 15, 1872 and Savitri Era Religion ensues from there. A concrete shape was given when The Mother met him on March 29, 1914 and Arya came out in August 1914. This holds immense significance even in 2024 and educated Indians should consent to support
Any number of resources relating to Sri Aurobindo are available online but some prefer only one quotation on nationalism to understand him. Knowledge seeking is like mountaineering and not like a frog frolicking within a puddle. Echochamber of the ecosystem needs to be abandoned.
Rallying behind The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is an evolutionary call irrespective of current political goings on. Studying The Life Divine facilitates a scientific understanding of our existence and our required role in it. Believing in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a new religion.
Death concerns the whole humanity and that's the challenge The Mother & Sri Aurobindo addressed. Young Indians should pay attention to this and not mere mythology or temples. Next stage of evolution is descent of Supramental consciousness and surrender to The Mother is the means.
Most followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are happy being part of Hindutva but I'm against it. Current political situation also clouds the mind of many. Lack of adequate scholarship on Sri Aurobindo is a further reason. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party show the way.
There's a need to overcome overly reductionist representations of Sri Aurobindo as a Bengali, a Freedom fighter, a Hindu revivalist, or a yogi. Apart from being the greatest poet and philosopher of the world, he, along with The Mother, envisages a sublime future for the humanity.
Many fancy being a spiritual seeker but it's necessary to read and possess right intellectual understanding. Books by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the best guide but they are also varied and vast. Further accepting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is crucial
Neglect of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy by not only the Indians but also the whole world population is amazing. The time is not ripe, that's how we can rationalise but Sri Aurobindo also reminds that it's the hour of the unexpected. So we can't take the current reality for granted.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo supported the British in its war against Hitler and made a public display by contributing money. Scholars should examine the significance of this single incident to judge them and their contemporaries. This is the new mythology for the current century.
Reading Sri Aurobindo’s books from a Hindu perspective is misleading since he is the culmination of Bengal Renaissance which redefined the tradition. Quest for the solution to human problems leads to the Vedic concept of immortality and the logic of evolution points to the same.
Although I claim to be a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, I have not been able to put much of their teachings into practice. Now that I'm past the age of modifying myself, defects and imperfections don't scare me. Remember and offer is the best recipe and boosts confidence.
Nitish Kumar is Prime Minister material despite his dwindling popularity in Bihar. BJP wants to keep him chained but the country wants an alternative to Modi. A good fight is in the interest of the health of the democracy. Nitish Kumar still is the JP or VP in the present context
PM Modi may be popular but a huge vote bank exists against him. Centralising tendency is against the Federal spirit and many States feel peeved due to that. Relying upon too much of religion is also repulsive to many. BJP's chances are bright only if opposition votes are divided.
Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine which has far reaching implications in the sphere of history, politics, philosophy, religion, education, management, psychology, and sociology. Technology and AI too would have to track evolution.
Apart from the baby-cat metaphor of surrender, it is one of the most powerful psychological tools. It's about concentration, audacity, and stubborn refusal to be distracted by the waves of the mind. Entails a firm conviction that knowledge is not outside but will come from inside.
