Savitri Era: Fostering a longing for good things

It's difficult, now, to identify any event as conforming to the evolutionary ideals propounded by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo or not. Still, Savitri Era Party is trying to put forth an independent opinion outside the blatantly partisan views peddled by politicians and journalists.

By reinterpreting the Veda, Sri Aurobindo explained that behind external rituals, a call to progress at the level of consciousness exists. So a general re-examination of the social customs and festivities can lead to a realisation of their real evolutionary import that is hidden.

Political defections have become common and opting for greener pastures can't be contested. But abandoning the ideology one pursues is not a sign of morality. Finding the right intellectual framework in the current circumstances is possible only through The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. 

In ten years each of Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi, India has seen opposite extremes. A new Prime Minister is needed who can really lead the govt without much fanfare. Performance and not publicity should be the priority. Transparency and accountability should be reestablished. 

Ideology is the last thing for the political parties as the reason for their existence, now. Even capturing power is not the priority. Money has become the sole motive in all kinds of activities undertaken by them. Dynasties of all hues are busy devising new schemes to get money.

Apart from the Cosmological formulations of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Savitri Era Religion has the unique priority of descent of the Supramental consciousness and achieving physical immortality. These lofty ideals are part of day-to-day life and collective yoga and spirituality. 

In view of the reports that partiality is going on in performing rituals, EC should direct all temples to hold a common puja ceremony for all candidates for ensuring a level playing field. No party should get a preferential treatment just because it fights for building of temples! 

Arabinda meant lotus but he changed his name to Sri Aurobindo. The Mother devised a symbol for him by redesigning the symbol of Max Théon's Cosmic Movement. Thus, the name and the symbol have huge occult significances when seen in the light of the Vedic imperative of immortality.

Thousands of institutions are running in the name of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and the situation in any one will depend on the owners. People getting drawn towards the current dominant political narrative is not unusual which becomes accentuated at the time of elections. Beware!

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, but leaves their writings to the interpretation of scholars and devotees, as one pleases. It's necessary to remember that many of their writings are rhetorical, polemical, persuasive, or personal.

#SELFsince2005

On March 29, 1914, The Mother arrived in Puduchrry and met Sri Aurobindo signifying an evolutionary leap for the mankind. One hundred ten years later, when the situation in many countries is dimal, let's pray them and seek their blessings for peace and harmony in the whole world.

Reading diverse authors is part of intellectual development but it's only by reading Sri Aurobindo that one acquires a balanced worldview. It's not necessary to agree with him but the emphasis on unseen forces and interconnectedness helps to understand ourselves and world better.

Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, and Congress for separate reasons. State level parties too have many demerits. Spotting local level candidate with record of genuine public service is important for nurturing grassroots democracy. So don't hesitate to waste your vote on them. 

Within a few months of their first meeting on March 29, 1914 The Mother & Sri Aurobindo thought of launching Arya the first issue of which came out in August 1914. As The Life Divine and other books were published month after month, WWI was gaining momentum. Not just coincidence!

This lane leading to the Platform No. 1 of Shyamnagar Railway Station, West Bengal, has been in a bad shape for years, although thousands of people use it every day. No one cares for the convenience of the commuters. So, why blame @sanjeevsanyal for telling some truth about them?

Civilisation in India is over five thousand years old and this land has seen countless events but the first meeting of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in Puduchrry on March 29, 1914 is the most significant. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is a must for leap in consciousness. 

"While System 2 believes it is in charge, Kahneman wrote that, in reality, System 1 is in command." Those of us who are conversant with Integral Yoga psychology of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, these explanations sound rudimentary since there are physical, vital, and mental levels.

In this #InternationalWomensMonth, recognising and remembering the extraordinary life of The Mother (1878-1973), who was responsible for the establishment of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry and Auroville with thousands of disciples spread worldwide, is extremely important.

Embracing Savitri Era Religion is almost a compulsion for the educated mass. It is the most modern and rational religion without the burden of any mythology or rituals. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine and their life stories are well documented.

While Savitri Era Religion helps to be free from the mythological fiction of different religions Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, empowers to reject the ideologies of Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, Periyar, Ambedkar, Savarkar, Golwalkar, Lohia et al.

Despite immense developments in technology, it's difficult to know, for sure, the direction of ideas moving from one civilisation to another. We live in the midst of a mixture, but one thing is definite that The Mother came to meet Sri Aurobindo, in Puducherry, on March 29, 1914.

By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, Savitri Era Religion modifies their ontological formulations and textual analysis of their writings. This entails a wide chasm between a devotee and a scholar. A new religion is no more a matter to be ashamed of. 

Coming together of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914 was indicative of correcting the errors of the previous two thousand years. Savitri Era Religion is hopeful of attracting younger generation who value knowledge and abhor mythology and rituals incarnateword.in/cwsa

Indians must realise the importance of March 29, 1914 which marks the first meeting of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, in Puducherry. Publication of Arya in August 1914 heralded a war against old religions and outdated knowledge systems. Genius of Sri Aurobindo can heal this nation.

Savitri Era: World's problems will vanish under Savitri Era Religion

savitriera.blogspot.com/2024/03/worlds…

Collected X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956), President, Savitri Era Party (2007), SRA-102-C, Shipra Riviera, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad-201014 (Uttar Pradesh). #FiveDreams

Different political phases of the last six decades provide varieties of experience. Development of science and technology also add to the kaleidoscopic story. Awareness of philosophy too travelled in an identical trajectory. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo however have been a constant. 

Inner living and exploration of psychological continents are an important component of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's yoga. Savitri Era Religion however is not insistent on it due to lack of reliable empirical results of ascending consciousness or verifiable subjective experiences.

The Life stories of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are incomplete without each other's. Their presence through the two World Wars is an infinitely significant fact of history. Understanding that vis-à-vis descent of the Supramental consciousness should be part of college curriculums.

Election dates have been announced and when the results will be out on June 4 it will be apparent how the States have assumed the status of individual nations. This trend is irreversible and wishful thinking to the contrary won't be successful. The earlier it's recognised, better. 

The philosophy and vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo evolved before the TV, Internet, and Mobile phone era. Hence, their social and political dreams need to be reimagined according to the present context. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine, worldwide.

All kinds of unethical practices have been employed during the last sixty years for creating a godlike image of Gandhi by various quarters. The same is true to a lesser extent for Tagore and Vivekananda. Hindutva has been able to challenge but Sri Aurobindo is yet to get his due.

Many people confess here that they have not read Sri Aurobindo's books but give no impression that their knowledge or views may be inferior or defective. This sort of obduracy and disregard for a great modern philosopher is so rampant that it's not considered unusual or improper.

In the absence of much academic engagement with the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it's safe to refer to them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present and lead the course of evolution. Seeking their love and grace in our own lives and also for harmony in the society. 

When Sri Aurobindo explained the evolutionary inevitability of a new Supramental race in The Life Divine, the concept of immortality or a divinised body was in a rudimentary form. It became more prominent in his priority in later years. In Agenda, too, The Mother talked of cells.

There is no other way of achieving purity than eliminating impurities. Rejection therefore is another principle of Integral yoga apart from Aspiration and Surrender. But significantly the latter two are more geared towards transformation through invoking the higher consciousness.

Savitri Era Religion came into being in 2006 on some scholars observing that the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's yoga had degenerated into a cult. Recalling Bertrand Russell equating Marxism with Judaism/Christianity I had reasoned that Savitri Era fulfils seven parameters.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have done more than enough at the theoretical level and it's multifaceted. The resistance to evolution being what it is, patience with gratitude is the right attitude in the present circumstances. So avoiding false hopes and promises should be the norm.

When I launched savitriera.blogspot.com in 2005, Ken Wilber controversy was at its peak. Credit goes to him for making a large number of Westerners conversant with Sri Aurobindo. His misrepresentations however were ably contested by scholars like @akazlev. malankazlev.com

New voters and those born in the present century have a wonderful opportunity for understanding Sri Aurobindo and his future vision if they are a little bit curious about the Veda. theveda.org.in

His symbolic interpretation is in consonance with evolutionary philosophy.

UP being no longer very secure BJP can hope for a comfortable 200 figure. Anti-incumbency and Opposition-unity will play out in full force. People have become tired of empty rhetoric and endless theatrics. Indian democracy has thrown surprises in the past and two terms are enough. 

Modi supporters are examining the Bond issue from all academic angles except the corruption factor. They are even casting aspersions on CJI but find no wrongdoing by SBI. But they go hammer and tongs when it comes to Kejriwal. One feels sorry for such pathetic level of sycophancy. 

Without any means of participating in the electoral politics, Savitri Era Party prays to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for ushering in a new Govt that is more democratic minded and displays accountability, transparency, and willingness for unreserved communication sans manipulation.

My involvement in Sri Aurobindo Study Circle movement in Odisha gave me a solid grounding for a later phase of intellectual development, when I shifted to Delhi. Freedom from institutional restrictions have permitted me to voice independent and objective views on varied subjects.

Leftist ideology has several merits, but it destroyed the political and intellectual climate in the last century in many repects. The same kind of fanaticism and intransigence, unfortunately, is developing muscle under Hindutva aegis. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are being ignored.

The three banners I created have contributed to a distinct alternative, when most people are wallowing in confusion. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005), Savitri Era Religion (SER - 2006), and Savitri Era Party (SEP - 2007) provide enormous online resources for this century.

Many Hindutva activists have turned authors. Once the feeling of victimhood and craving for fame subsides, the academic humility and real quest for knowledge will grow. Critical faculties of comparing and responding to rival opinions will develop. From Goondaism to Kshatriyahood!

The Savitri Era paradigm derives its confidence from the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. No one knows the future but perceiving the desirability of happenings and fostering a longing for good things should be instinctive. Thus theory will unfold as history. 

History of political ideologies in India after Independence can be analysed very easily. It can also be found why none of the schools has achieved success. Sri Aurobindo laid out a vision for India way back in 1914 but it stands neglected. Savitri Era Party is the first attempt.

So many suffer from an incurable disease of mentioning Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo together although each one's vision and philosophy varies widely. Apart from being the greatest philosopher of the world Sri Aurobindo is worshipped as the one Supreme Divine alongwith The Mother. 

While evaluating the present situation, keeping in mind the Emergency is important. Congress still suffers from the Dynasty virus while Modi has risen from the grassroots. Besides, Hindutva has undergone substantial transformation during his tenure. But his two terms are enough.

Considering the hold of the dominant religions, popularising the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a Herculean task. It's rare to see any post on them on this platform from the Western world. But, it's instructive to remember that the days of the old religions is numbered.

The concept of evil is very complex in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. The rigidity of Karma is absent and the choice of the Psychic Being plays a big role. Thus, the quota of evil is an invited guest. The same is true for the society too. So the path of reforms is lame.

PATTERNS OF THE PRESENT by Georges Van Vrekhem

The Philosophy of Evolution by Rod Hemsell

Savitri Era Religion has the potential of replacing all other religions since it's the most modern and rational faith. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most credible metaphysical formulation without the crutches of any mythology and rituals.

Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. It has been demanding granting of Sovereignty to the States under a loose federation so that the nucleus of a #WorldUnion as per the #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo takes shape. It also demands maximum of two terms for CM & PM.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for the last sixty years my allegiance to them is almost natural. Drawing intellectual and philosophical sustenance from them has also firmed up over the years. Such a combination is unique in both the centuries that I have lived through.

I don't think you have read Sri Aurobindo's works adequately since what you say about him is a misrepresentation.

Almost all persons from whom I imbibed my devotion towads The Mother & Sri Aurobindo or looked up to for inspiration are no more. Situation has drastically changed now due to the menace of Hindutva. The ideological alternative i give, however, provides me sufficient satisfaction.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo thought for the humanity. How peace and harmony can replace the present ignorance and suffering. They perceived that the next stage of evolution is near and asked for our collaboration. Savitri Era Religion invites all to this adventure of consciousness.

As human beings, death and disease are our adversaries. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to resolve this challenge continuing from the Vedic era. Supramental consciousness is the next stage of evolution and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for its descent.

Kejriwal may or may not be guilty of corruption but he is certainly guilty of defrauding people on the issue of corruption in 2011. Let the truth come out. There should be no relaxation on investigation.

Connection between Bankim Chandra and Sri Aurobindo is well-known, but when I read the same between Sarat Chandra and Sri Aurobindo, I immediately became curious. But then it turned out to be in the context of the ongoing scams. What with Arvind Kejriwal, Aurobindo Pharma, et al!

Reading books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as well as their direct disciples is important for commenting on various subjects in their light. Otherwise, spreading wrong views is like blind leading the blind. Acknowledging Sri Aurobindo's change of opinions over the years needed.

Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, and Congress. It draws its inspiration from political philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Now that all political parties are entangled in the corruption of Electoral bonds, ethics need to be adhered to by players in public life.

Instincts of survival, self-preservation, and self-interest are wired into every living being, and politics is no different. Hold of various canons of morality, therefore, can't be very firm or stable. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aim at change of consciousness for enduring effect.

Modi or Hindutva supporters are eminently entitled to pursue their passion without mixing it with their devotion to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The two are entirely different paths and I have been emphasising this since 2005. Savitri Era Religion came into being in 2006 for this.

For the last two decades, I have believed that Sri Aurobindo is the greatest brand and one day, it will be recognised spontaneously. I continue propagation of this on various platforms but not to much success. Certain turns of events may facilitate, and let's pray to them for it.

World's problems will vanish under Savitri Era Religion

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Without reading The Mother's works, Sri Aurobindo's writings alone don't provide the Integral picture. So, both intellectually as well as spiritually, they are one. Besides, The Mother's grace is essential at every step of life. Savitri Era Religion is, basically, worshipping her. 

Congress took the Dynasty for granted and history books were doctored accordingly. When that era seemed to be receding, Hindutva victimhood and imaginary past glory popularised fresh falsehoods. Sri Aurobindo has been a victim in both scenarios. Truth and knowledge have no takers.

It's very difficult to get convinced of Sri Aurobindo's divinity from his political involvements or even writings. The Mother's words and testimonies of their direct disciples are useful for this purpose. Savitri Era Religion nurtures this little-known truth of great significance.

Sri Aurobindo's mature writings tell a different tale. Difficult to bind him exclusively to India or Hindu concerns. In any case, we are living in a world which has progressed more than a century. His #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 will change whole humanity.

Politicians and Self-Help gurus are faking their own life-stories for making a bigger impact. Movies and fiction, in fact, do exert considerable influence on our lives and thinking. Most of philosophy is surely speculative. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the anchors of certainty.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is not only of academic interest. It has got practical value. It's about evolution and being involved with it. Aspiring for higher consciousness by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and surrendering to them is what's required.

Imagining an unbridgeable chasm between ancient and modern values is common but The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo reveals how it's a myth. Ethical paradigms as represented by various deities has been a task for humanity in all ages and cultures. Studying it can reorient one.

Western philosophy is basically about this philosopher or that. The same is true for ancient Indian and Buddhist philosophy. The Life Divine of Sri Aurobindo obviates all these choices. Further, it provides a credible and dependable metaphysical framework of workings of Universe.

I have been writing about a political alternative to Hindutva since 2005. Savitri Era is my own formulation based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. I don't think anyone else is supporting such a scenario. The opposition is floundering due to lack of any viable ideology.

Savitri Era Religion is based on devotion and loyalty to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, although they are not the founders. They are connected with many happenings and philosophical streams of 20th century, which form a modern-day mythology. Max Théon is one.

Around a dozen great men belonging to the last two centuries hover over the intellectual landscape of Indians and their ratings keep on fluctuating over time. Sri Aurobindo,undeniably, is head and shoulders above others but there are more effective propaganda machines for others.

The philosophy advanced by Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine remains unsurpassed. Savitri by him is the greatest poetic creation. Moreover, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in individual, universal, and transcendent poises.

No one can understand why the senses are called Indriyas unless he or she reads The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. It would be clear that Indra or Varuna are not mythological deities but realms of consciousness that are waiting to descend in earth atmosphere on receptivity.

Nehruvian consensus committed despicable things to history and education but that doesn't mean we throw away the whole legacy and ethical framework. Sri Aurobindo is the golden mean between Nehru and Hindutva. Evolutionary trajectory is clear as present regime would face hurdles.

As devotees, we try to imagine the hand of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo behind all happenings and, in that sense, nothing is strictly secular. Politics and Constitutional arrangements, however, are to be perceived as secular domains since people from multiple religions are involved.

Sri Aurobindo introduced revolutionary ideas more than a century back but our Universities, regrettably, have failed to respond. Western materialiasm, on the one hand and Hindutva obscurantism, on the other need to be eschewed. Such a philosophy can remodel life too through yoga.

Savitri Era Religion modifies the standard version of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy which predominantly relies on The Life Divine. Savitri Era Religion accepts The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and accordingly a new cosmology warrants to be imagined to accommodate.

Savitri Era Religion can't be divorced from ethics although there is no mechanism for enforcing it on devotees. Loyalty to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo entails subscribing to the spiritual view of life and the world the logic of which should convince one of a moral path as natural.

Quoting from Sri Aurobindo's writings is easy, but to assume that the wisdom contained in it will act automatically, may not be true. Believing in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the secret which gives their words the real transformative and dynamic power.

New knowledge, presented by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in the last century, remains valid in this century, too. Advances in science and technology have not been able to surpass their inferences. Mythology, however, is gaining traction resulting in society going backwards. Beware!

Savitri Era Religion is pregnant with political possibilities and many of the world's problems will vanish under its umbrella. It's the most modern and rational religion without the bondage of any redundant mythology or superstition. All thinking persons must come under its fold.

Sri Aurobindo writes magisterially

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Sri Aurobindo writes magisterially, without quoting others or bothering for citing authority. Be it philosophical nuances or sociological scrutiny, his insights are always confident as well as competent. His reliance on the intuitive or spiritual realm may seem distant but is apt.

Nature has created different languages and people speaking a particular language constitute a nation. We are flouting this simple principle in India leading to multiple maladies. Savitri Era Party has been demanding granting Sovereignty to States so that each language flourishes.

The Divine manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has not been explained adequately in their writings. So visualising them as the one Supreme Divine depends on the devotees. Further, avoiding the gender identity is in order just like suppositions such as twin avatar or guru.

Most devotees are conversant with the four powers of The Mother but Sri Aurobindo had written corresponding classification at some places before. Knowledge, Power, Harmony, and Work being the four pillars of any organisational system, commensurate social hierarchy is unwarranted.

I have been following a flexible approach as regards writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by avoiding literalism. There are different periods and readers need to be acquainted with changes in focus and modalities. Scholarly texts go by citations which can be misleading at times.

The superiority of Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy has not been accepted by the people in general. His new interpretation of the Veda is relatively unknown. Political parties are not interested in him and Universities, too, tend to ignore his books. But the force of evolution is on.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine which is the foundation of Savitri Era Religion (2006). Attempts are on to secularise them in the name of Integral yoga or appropriate them under the Hindutva narrative. Devotees must be conscious on Darshan Day.

Following Sri Aurobindo helps to be free from the dominance of Western philosophy as well as Buddhist philosophy. As The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine their writings don't provide a comprehensive metaphysical framework. It has to be pieced together by devotees.

Surrender to The Mother is the only route for Integral yoga as her grace is indispensable for any progress. Even our day-to-day activities would be impossible without it. Remembering her, itself, is an instant evolutionary switch. She and Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine.

Coverage or response to The Mother's Birthday on X is almost negligible. There is a general reluctance to acknowledge her status as the one Supreme Divine along with Sri Aurobindo. Quoting two lines from Savitri or posting a photo is not how she should be presented to the public.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram was started in Puduchrry in 1926 the roots of which can be traced to Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) arriving there in 1910. It has only one branch in Delhi. Auroville was started as a small township for human unity in Tamil Nadu in 1968 by The Mother (1878-1973).

Sri Aurobindo fought against the British but also collaborated with it during WWII. So the evolutionary exigency is important. India-centric approach can be erroneous. Advance of technology and new knowledge is part of evolution. Right now Indians are more content with mythology.

Savitri Era Religion is universal. Anyone anywhere in the world can be a part of it just by keeping a photograph of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at home. Their writings are available online. There are some systems like Integral yoga and Integral education but finally it's surrender.

Sri Aurobindo is known to have borrowed from Plotinus, Hegel, and Nietzsche but the framework of evolution he creates has a unique backing called involution. His interpretation of the Veda is unprecedented and harnessing of the Upanishads to involution-evolution is unparalleled.

Economics is run by human nature but Savitri Era Religion aims at transforming it. Politics has certain aims for refining it but process is tardy and unsteady. Thus all kinds of philanthropic or altruistic endeavour have their own limitations. Even ecological concerns are suspect.

Prefix of Rishi or Maharshi is erroneous as his adopted full name is Sri Aurobindo (Sri being part of the name, শ্রীঅরবিন্দ). Please take care to refer to him as Sri Aurobindo only.

Some anonymous handles with zero credentials try to run down Sri Aurobindo without any basis. It looks like urchins throwing stones and running away. Informed discourse following academic parameters is welcome but stray comments and comparisons without reading his works are duds.

Sri Aurobindo advocated the spiritual approach as a solution to all problems but his philosophy or yoga doesn't have any straightforward method for direct access to spirituality. Nor is anyone's subjective spiritual experiences verifiable. In such an event, surrender is the best.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and a complete reliance on them is the safest path. Those wandering in many lanes and trying to integrate many lines of thinking are bound to be frustrated. Academic practice of surveying is not a good idea for life's journey.

Apart from S.K. Maitra's Meeting of East and West and Sri Aurobindo and Karl Marx by D.P. Chattopadhyaya, I had picked up my lessons from Will Durant's Story of Philosophy, A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell, and A History of Modern Philosophy by Frederick Mayer.

The Mother, first published in 1928 and Bases of Yoga, first published in 1936 by Sri Aurobindo are of considerable importance for Savitri Era Religion. Similarly, Science of Living and The Spiritual Significance of Flowers by The Mother carry substantial prominence for devotees.

Sri Aurobindo's letters on yoga were written to specific disciples and hence they may not be applicable for general guidance. In the absence of empirical validity young seekers should not be lured by self-realisation or similar stuff. Staying away from false promises is necessary.

Savitri Era Religion is based on surrender where the devotees are free from the burden of Integral yoga. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the primary requirement and aspiring for the descent of the Supramental consciousness is the paramount task.

Defects and imperfections shouldn't deter anyone from aspiring for Immortality. Pursuing a life of spiritual goals is the right of everyone. Evolution is in operation round the clock and any new breakthrough can happen at anytime. That's the promise of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

There are millions of people in the world and, obviously, it's not by reading The Life Divine, Savitri, or Mother's Agenda that they will turn towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. So, Savitri Era Religion is an easily recognisable brand for the common people to take shelter under.

Savitri Era Party favours common sense and science instead of mythology and superstitions. It also believes in the evolutionary view of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. European invasion of India might have been a disaster but it spurred a strong cultural and technological revolution.

Supramental consciousness can't be the result of any method or technological development. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo tried their best for reconfiguration of body cells but we don't know about its progress. Both are, perhaps, related. A new race will, certainly, possess a new body.

Auroville is home to all kinds of activities these days while procedural wrangle in its administration continues. Govt takeover has served its purpose and it's time to return it to the devotees. Many articles are written on it but no one highlights this root arbitrary act of Govt.

The challenge is to keep Sri Aurobindo alive in the present discourse. Not as a Hindu revivalist or a votary of cultural nationalism but as a universalist who has built a robust philosophical foundation for an evolutionary prospect of ushering in Harmony and Sublimity in society.

The philosophy of Sri Aurobindo has been fondly ascribed as Integral Advaita which is said to have some affinity with that of Plotinus as well as Kashmir Shaivism. Savitri Era Religion envisages The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine navigating the evolutionary path.

Politics affirms faith in Constitutional values but in reality they are flouted more than being abided by. Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from Sri Aurobindo, however, believes that morality alone can't be the guarantor for high ideals. Surrender to The Mother is essential.

Believing in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is far more convenient and convincing than putting faith on mythology. Real estate or architecture shouldn't be the parameter when it comes to judging the superiority of a 20th century philosophy or its effectivity.

Music, art, and poetry are good avenues for personal development but all those who are engaged in them may not attain the desired ethical level. Mere skill, expertise, or success is not enough. Surrender to The Mother is necessary for turning any sort of talent as transformative.

Savitri Era Religion encourages modern thinking and rationality so that mythology and pseudoscience are driven out of currency. Accepting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most coherent philosophical framework in consonance with the evolutionary engine.

Apart from ancient mythological literature of all hues that abound in our country, history and politics have created new mythologies during the last century. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine ensures accurate evaluation of such motivated narratives.

Instead of spending time and energy in reading ancient Sanskrit texts, it's far more profitable to read the works of Sri Aurobindo in English. Apart from translations and commentaries, his books of synthetic philosophy including Savitri and related correspondences are a treasure.

Even after the temple victory, a section of the Hindus are still dissatisfied and keep on maligning Abrahamic religions. Antipathy towards Western culture too goes on side by side. Devotees belonging to Savitri Era Religion, however, don't suffer from such a parochial dichotomy.

Although The Mother had announced the descent of the Supramental consciousness in principle on February 29, 1956, inauguration of Auroville on February 28, 1968 can't be assumed to be directly related to it. Auroville, therefore, is bound to undergo the normal human difficulties.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo continue to be misinterpreted by the scholars as something secular although Sri Aurobindo has clearly designated The Mother as the Divine Mother. Savitri Era Religion, launched in 2006, worships them as the one Supreme Divine, always present.

There are several utopian visions for a perfect human society but what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have foreseen is altogether different. The dream of Auroville amounts to some reforms but the promised Supramental race will entail radical departure from present modes of enjoyment.

Spirituality means to be aware of seamless consciousness the ladder of which has been delineated by Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine. The four levels that we all are built of are capable of transformation through aspiration and surrender. Supramental is the next rung of evolution

Philosophy has grown in leaps and bounds in the West during the last two hundred years but in India only Sri Aurobindo's contribution makes the mark. Indians, unfortunately, are oblivious of this achievement as the general atmosphere is close to illiteracy. Sell mirrors to blind!

A special day for Savitri Era Religion the significance of which is difficult to perceive for those who are not acquainted with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. A day of infinite possibilities and hope for the whole earth. Something very unique and unprecedented. A day for gratitude.

February 29 forms the most concrete foundation for Savitri Era Religion as the occasion has no connection with any other religion or mythology. The Mother's declaration of descent of Supramental consciousness, in principle, in 1956 marks realisation of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

The history of Auroville is much more complex involving lifelong dedication and suffering of a large number of devotees of The Mother & Sri-Aurobindo. There are people who have been interested in material benefits and exercising power. But it's all part of history and recorded.

Sri Aurobindo remoulded the scientific theory of evolution to predict descent of Supramental consciousness upon earth and The Mother announced its first glimpse on February 29, 1956. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them is core of Savitri Era Religion.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can convince one of the uniqueness of their future vision. Those who are satisfied with the past won't be able to understand the significance of this. Savitri Era Religion invites for orientation in this new knowledge and aspiration.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is futuristic and warrants belief in them as the one Supreme Divine. Savitri Era Religion propagates this fundamental requirement in a forthright manner. Savitri Era Party, too, is driven by the same ideal and provides an alternative.

Savitri Era Religion was formed by Tusar Nath Mohapatra in 2006

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been able to debunk all forms of rituals and occult practices. Nature worship was prevalent from prehistoric times, and continues in different traditions, where symbols have given way to material means. Sri Aurobindo invalidates such superstitions.

Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. Young Indians should unite under its banner for building a truly democratic party from the grassroots so that the Federal spirit of the Constitution takes shape. Sri Aurobindo as the political icon has not been used till now.

Savitri Era Religion has the advantage of no priests or mediators. Anyone, anywhere, can establish his or her own personal relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through their pictures or books. Ashram, Auroville, or local centres don't hold any special place for a devotee.

As devotees, our job is to sing the praise of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at every available occasion. People are not aware of the basic details of their lives. So it's futile to expect that they will be worshipped as the one Supreme Divine by all. They had met on March 29, 1914.

After visiting Ashram or Auroville, many discover to their surprise that it's a cult. This confusion prevails because worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine in Savitri Era Religion is not communicated. Misleading public in the name of yoga is dishonest.

No one has been able to present a better account of the working of Universe than what Sri Aurobindo wrote in The Life Divine, way back from 1914 to 1919. More than a century has passed but Indians are yet to acknowledge this great intellectual achievement.

Most direct disciples felt the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and expressed it in various forms. But, no one ventured to announce that it's a new religion. Some scholars, however, noticed it and accused it of turning into a religion. I gave the name, Savitri Era Religion.

Hundreds of videos are available, in different languages, now to be aware of the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. So, practically, there's no need of reading their books. But getting used to to plough through the difficult prose of Sri Aurobindo’s books is very rewarding.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo mention the Divine umpteen times in their writings. As devotees, we have to learn to read The Mother & Sri Aurobindo wherever the Divine has been referred to. Savitri Era Religion causes some modification to their popularly known philosophical framework.

The Secret of the Veda is the most original contribution of Sri Aurobindo which debunks mythology and rituals. Such brilliant hermeneutics is unparalleled. Thus the Veda seamlessly lends itself to the scientific enterprise of Consciousness studies apart from Ethics and Aesthetics.

As more and more people are being attracted towards BJP, Savitri Era Party retains its ideological opposition to Hindutva on the strength of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Glorifying the past and imaginary greatness of India shouldn't fuel politics of hatred. Diversity is most basic.

Anyone can pose as an expert on spirituality by borrowing from the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but it's important to remember that there is no direct method of translating psychological explanations into intuitive experience. Avoiding false promises should be the norm.

Gadadhar Mishra, Mamu to all in Odisha, is no more. I had met him in 1964 while playing football with devotee boys in a field near Kafla Fandi where he was the referee. He used to be in Bali Jatra also selling the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. His leadership was exemplary.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have inaugurated a new future for the humanity and it's for people to recognise them as the one Supreme Divine. Sri Aurobindo's Record of Yoga and Mother's Agenda are testament to their extraordinary lives apart from what they have written on philosophy.

Leftist historians were successful in keeping Sri Aurobindo outside the text books and Hindutva votaries try to chain him down to Sanatan Dharma. His epochal creations like The Life Divine or The Secret of the Veda are never talked about. This sort of anti-intellectualism is bad.

All political parties run on the principle of deception while Savitri Era Party stands for truth. Sri Aurobindo was instrumental for the split in the Congress in Surat in 1907. The legacy of his #FiveDreams Manifesto, unfortunately, has not been harnessed, successfully, till now.

There are many ways of approaching Sri Aurobindo:

1) As a Revolutionary Freedom figher

2) As a Hindu revivalist

3) As one who champions the supremacy of India

4) A yogi and a guru

5) A philosopher and a poet

6) An escapist and a recluse

7) A charlatan who mastered the supertalk.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine

Faith, Sincerity, and Surrender

Aspiration, Rejection, and Surrender

Widening, Heightening, and Integration

Psychicisation, Universalisation, and Supramentalisation

Individual, Universal, and Transcendent

Sat, Chit, and Ananda

Pasting a few lines from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has become so fashionable that no other credentials are needed. Even anonymous handles attain stardom! One's ideology and ethical standards must be subject to public scrutiny. Without that, talking of spirituality is ridiculous.

The Mother's grace is always there, for our personal lives as well as the society. But as we know, the course of evolution is spiral and hence asking for miraculous results is not in order. Surrender, nevertheless, is the only recourse. The country will see many changes this year.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra in 2006 this new faith has no connection with any other religion or mythology.

Savitri Era Religion was formed by Tusar Nath Mohapatra in 2006 as indicated by Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy in his dissenting judgement in Auroville case. Needless to mention that there are other ways like Integral yoga & Integral education for following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent multiculturalism and universality and I'm fortunate to have been under their influence for the last sixty years. They are the one Supreme Divine for me which has saved me from mythology and rituals. All are invited to join Savitri Era Religion.

Supreme Court is applying corrective in many cases. Paid Media bias is being challenged. Many Govt actions are facing protest. So it's time to be extremely vigilant. History is being rewritten. Sri Aurobindo is being ignored as usual. Savitri Era Party stands firm in its resolve.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra in 2006 this new faith has no connection with any other religion or mythology.

No book establishes The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine as yet and their biographical accounts are inadequate. Savitri Era Religion, however, has been flourishing even after fifty years of the departure of The Mother. Govt recognition will help devotees' children.

The Collected Works of The Mother (CWM) and Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library (SABCL) were published around 1972. The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA) in 36 volumes are available now online incarnateword.in/cwsa

Mother's Agenda in 13 volumes at incarnateword.in/agenda

It's not the Left vs Hindutva dichotomy. The real intellectual challenge is to perceive the Sri Aurobindo vs Hindutva difference. In fact, it's Sri Aurobindo vs everyone else. Defying the political climate, I have been harping on this through Savitri Era Learning Forum since 2005.

Puducherry is that sacred place where The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met first on March 29, 1914. Their mortal remains too are lodged there. Matrimandir is situated in nearby Auroville. All these are of great significance for Savitri Era Religion. Let's hope, it shows light to world!

People of my generation are ignorant of Sri Aurobindo while I have spent the last sixty years in the company of his books. These are two entirely different worlds. It's unfortunate that neither the politicians nor the academics realise the importance of teaching his philosophy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo fought against Hitler and this modern mythology needs to be understood correctly. Many streams of political thought in India today draw sustenance from Hitler's legacy and it's an evolutionary duty to oppose them. Savitri Era Party is awake to this task.

Music plays a big role in Savitri Era Religion. Apart from The Mother's music and Sunil's music, many other artistes are popular in different languages. I used to attend the song offerings by Devi Karunamayee at Delhi Ashram. Kusum Kali-Saa Meraa Maanas

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine without any adulteration is what is required. Those who have extraneous attractions should dwell there without corrupting the faith of the genuine devotees or confusing them. Savitri Era Religion is very clear on it. 

There are many ways of approaching Sri Aurobindo and his writings are vast and diverse. Savitri Era Religion founded by me in 2006 is intended to narrow down the followership to the basics. It's voluntary and without any rituals or dogma. Loyalty and devotion can't be a mixture.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are important for the present age, not only for enunciating the philosophy of evolution, but also for being in charge of the evolution and leading it. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the right way of collaborating with evolutionary forces.
