Most people are swayed by propaganda of new age gurus and they remain deprived of genuine philosophical orientation despite the best of communication avenues. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005) is dedicated to the ideals of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and its dissemination.

Inveighing against the falsehoods Congress perpetrated was a commendable campaign of Hindutva, but replacing them with another set of doctored narratives has been its most reprehensible act. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can rectify historical and metaphysical distortions.

Having travelled in different States, the improved condition of roads makes me happy. But when it comes to knowledge and discourse, the elegance of highways and flyovers is missing. Scientific attitude, and not political preference, should drive quest for knowledge or objectivity. 

Stealing knowledge and claiming credit for it including ghost writing is age old. Colonialism created a fertile ground for manipulation of history and narratives resulting in undermining of indigenous resources. Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively to restore balance and critical eye.

Novels, movies, and advertisements legitimise falsehood which gets accentuated during election campaigns. Justifying imaginary scenarios becomes the hallmark of experts and analysts. Painting a glorifying past turns intoxicant for self-esteem. Sri Aurobindo demolishes many myths.

Career opportunities lure academics into twisting narratives. Journalists fall prey to such inducements easily. But educated persons swallowing false propaganda and defending it is difficult to understand. Sri Aurobindo provides philosophical background for psychological analysis. 

Western philosophy is a battlefield where each thinker refutes others. Buddhist philosophy also suffers from the same ailment. Sri Aurobindo ends all cosmological quarrels by authoring The Life Divine. New Age gurus have become popular by borrowing from him without acknowledging.

Savitri Era Party doesn't agree with the RSS version of nationalism. It prefers to support the AIT although Sri Aurobindo is on record to be against it. Savitri Era Party also demands Sovereignty to the States on the basis of languages. Abolition of reservations is another plank.

Savitri Era Religion encourages worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, so that one is free from outdated beliefs and rituals. Descent of Supramental consciousness is pivotal to Sri Aurobindo's vision and collaborating with it is evolutionary imperative.

Most here succumb to hubris and pose as specialists in order to conceal ontological insecurity. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books helps delving into inner recesses and discovering remedial measures. The beauty of exploring own self is eradicating differences with others.

Indians are going to vote tomorrow for a new Lok Sabha. Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, & Congress for different reasons. Unlike 2014 and 2019 no emotionally charged event has vitiated the atmosphere apart from a stray remark incensing the Rajputs. Let's pray for a new PM!

Sri Aurobindian school of philosophy is multi-layered but comprehensive. Its evolution and embracing of new horizons, including branching out, are interesting fields of study. A further fascinating facet is the deployment of poetry in elucidating prophetic or mystical niceties.

Two chapters from The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA) are immensely important when it comes to ethics with no apparent division between religious and secular.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have inaugurated a new era for humanity. They have written extensively for explaining innumerable issues and problems. Reading them helps to acquire new insights into life and deeper understanding of the world. Following them amounts to practicing yoga.
