Different sections recommend different solutions to various problems of the country. Savitri Era Party advocates that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only means for all round transformation. Savitri Era Religion also persuades to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.
It's on an assembled AMD desktop that I had launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 for which Sify had provided Internet facility. The intervening twenty years have been full of learning and longing. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo guide my path for spreading their message.
Without any central authority or towering ideologue, Hindutva is getting watered down. The temple movement resulted in a tragedy, and now, it's degenerating into a farce. So, it's not unlikely that it collapses under its own weight and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are proved right.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide a new outlook towards life and the world. They offer a new philosophy and aesthetic avenue. It's for the people to derive their benefits. Information is so readily available now. But many are enamored of the traditional systems and ancient texts.
Many people cast aspersions on The Mother for being a Jew and Sri Aurobindo is accused of propagating various Western mystic traditions. However, the truth is very much in the open and anybody can examine it. Instead of genealogy, Savitri should be taken as the point of departure.
Instead of other icons, following Sri Aurobindo is the best option in the current circumstances of India. Savitri Era Party and Savitri Era Religion foreground an alternative narrative based on a robust metaphysical framework and Vedic evolutionary vision. incarnateword.in/cwsa
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't recommend any particular psycho-physical practices. Aspiration for higher consciousness is the most important element and other things are secondary. Surrender to them as the one Supreme Divine is pivotal since Call and Grace need to work jointly.
Ken Wilber was successful in accommodating Sri Aurobindo among evolutionary philosophers, and Hindutva intellectuals have achieved equal success in including him as a revolutionary leader. Savitri Era Religion however worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.
Different books of Sri Aurobindo are different worlds. It's not easy therefore to acquire their underlying philosophy. The Mother's writings and conversations add to the problem. Those impatient for achieving some spiritual power for announcing here should wait for a year or two.
It's normal for people these days to be exposed to different religious or philosophical streams. Thus one develops a comparing mentality for judging various pros and cons. Savitri Era Religion worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most authentic.
Provision of reservations in the Constitution was necessary at that time. Right now it's essential to create an environment free from any kind of discrimination. Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from the universal philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, backs this agenda.
Evolution of consciousness has produced man on this planet. Sri Aurobindo predicts further evolution and arrival of Supramental beings. It has nothing much to do with technological or biological changes. Aspiration for something altogether new is the crux of Savitri Era Religion.
Psychological exploration lessons are ubiquitous in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings but to follow them, meticulously, is not easy for everyone. Savitri Era Religion, on the other hand, encourages people to be a devotee by practicing Aspiration, Rejection, and Surrender.
Why is The Life Divine so difficult to read and understand? Many people feel perplexed about this. This is a valid complaint but the solution is to keep on reading the book till one makes sense of some sentences. Further growing familiarity with its special vocabulary also helps.
Savitri Era Party is against Hindutva and the attempt to appropriate Sri Aurobindo by it. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for universalism and human unity. Their philosophy of evolution yearns for an ideal society and harmony. Descent of the Supramental consciousness is the goal.
Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is essential for any progress in the spiritual path. It's also indispensable for collaboration with the Earth's consciousness for its upward journey in the evolutionary ladder. Reciting Savitri, too, has its effect.
New Age and popular psychological advices are abundant, but being oriented with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings enriches our understanding of various facets of life and lopsided priorities. Spiritual aim modifies all our wants from the material condition to a sublime state.
Whether it is the desire to be desired or How much work is enough; life's predicaments are endless. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't provide any ready-made answer. They don't recommend escape, either. The flame of yoga has to be carried through the lanes and bylanes of ignorance.
All admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are fortunate to have been introduced to their seminal writings. Passing on this privilege to others is important. Most people are not educated and language is a problem. So special effort is needed for diffusion.
Social and professional circumstances keep our attention away from spiritual seeking. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo keep on pointing this out in their writings. The concept of All life is yoga is therefore fundamental. Remember and offer too is a successful formula for all seasons.
Turning towards a spiritual life is nothing new. There have been umpteen examples in all ages and in all cultures. But understanding the difference as regards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is important. They predict rise to the next level of consciousness and following them is vital.
More than a strict ethical anchoring or ideological astuteness, unwavering loyalty and devotion towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is essential in Savitri Era Religion. Those worshipping other gods and goddesses or gurus should introspect as to their actual religious affiliation.
Physical exercise is essential for good health and emotions, but building intellectual muscles is also equally important. Everyone is half-educated. So, consciously seeking to tread the untraversed zone must be a target. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are able guides in this project.
Restrictive policies of Congress allowed Communist and Socialist parties to flourish. India suffered for long, and Hindutva grew as a reaction. All four segments rely on fragmentation of society. Savitri Era Party, driven by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, seeks harmony.
I didn't choose The Mother & Sri Aurobindo by reading their books. It was through a process of collective devotional environment that things took root. Savitri Era Religion offers a similar facility to be availed by anyone anywhere in the world. No intermediary nor fixed practice.
Modi may or may not get Nobel Prize, but he deserves to be commended for keeping the Hindutva movement under control. Truth about his role in 2002 will never be known but the way he is being criticised by the hardliners, it proves his moderate approach. To give the devil his due!
Freedom from the British rule was merely a symbol. Freedom from death is the real challenge for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Search for Immortality is age-old as vouched by the Veda, and each of us is an aspiring candidate. In fact, the very purpose of life is to seek endlessness.
Happiness or Quality of life are much contested concepts. Savitri Era Religion doesn't believe in any kind of calibration or independent evaluation since the lives of the devotees are guided by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Playing out what's conceived by Psychic Being is the norm.
Intellectual and aesthetic pursuits have their own utility and validity but tethering them to purely material motivations would be anomalous. In The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo outlines how our practical arena is a reflection, or degeneration, of the Sat-chit-ananda consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo wrote when the West was going through thorough intellectual churning and showed an altogether different path. Still it can't be said to be his real contribution. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo sowed the seeds for descent of Supramental consciousness in the occult domain.
Thousands of involuntary processes happen within the body and many of our conscious actions are induced by habit. Thus the concept of agency and autonomy is dicey. Further the evolutionary burden of self-preservation and self-interest drive most of our initiatives. So, surrender.
Spectacle or conspicuous exhibitionism need to be avoided. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stressed on silence and quietness. Collective events however have to be noisy and chaotic. It also makes people happy. The challenge therefore is to stay conscious about demands of spirituality.
Any govt will be criticised and Modi's is no exception. The original opposition to him for 2002 riots has diluted. But the way he has performed as the Prime Minister needs to be appreciated. He may or may not continue till 2029 but he has provided a reasonably liberal atmosphere.
Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister was a shameful chapter for the country as well as the Constitution. Modi, on the contrary, has put the Constitution back on the rails. Style of functioning will vary from one politician to another but power in the hands of a genuine leader is crux.
Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for collaboration with evolution. Descent of Supramental consciousness will usher in transformation of human nature and establish Immortality. Savitri Era Religion is the simple means for this task.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo worked for the whole of humanity not for any politically correct motivation but because the mankind is one, the earth is one. That's the spirit behind #WorldUnion, the Third dream of Sri Aurobindo. The human species is evolving toward a splendid destiny.
Admiring any person other than The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is anti-evolutionary. Some might have exhibited high level of virtue or contributed to diverse fields of human excellence but they are neither aware of the Veda nor the potential of Supramental consciousness. Buyer beware!
Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. The party is also against Hindutva although many prominent followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are its ardent supporters. Further, the party has been campaigning for abolition of reservations, for ending discriminations.
When fairly educated people are unable to understand what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo imply in their extensive writings, then it is difficult to expect the general mass to be aware of their teachings. Savitri Era Religion in this context is important for being accessible to people.
Appreciating Sri Aurobindo as a revolutionary leader or philosopher is entirely different from worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Savitri Era Religion provides the opportunity for passing the faith on them on to the next generation within the family.
If the situation permits, you should visit Cuttack for All Odisha Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Conference which is held from April 4 to 7 every year. It's a different kind of experience.
Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend any fixed method of practice or ritual. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine means aspiring for descent of the Supramental consciousness and Immortality. These are like offering flowers or traditional ingredients.
Hindutva votaries continue to misrepresent Sri Aurobindo by concentrating on a solitary sentence from a speech. Hindutva sympathisers among followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo too leave no occasion to highlight Hindu themes in their writings but Savitri Era Religion is apart.
Many books have been written on Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and poetry. There have been several attempts too to understand his metaphysical formulations and prophecy in comparison with that of Western thinkers. But leaving out The Mother makes scholarship on #SriAurobindo crippled.
As long as you serve The Mother, I leave it to your judgement and wisdom but your allegiance to another religion shouldn't play out here.
Believing in the seemingly impossible prospects that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo promise is the task.
[Glory to Thee, O Lord, who triumphest over every obstacle. Grant that nothing in us shall be an obstacle in Thy work. Grant that nothing may retard Thy manifestation. - The Mother]
Technological advancement has given rise to a lot of speculation on modifications to human body and mind. The predictions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, relate to consciousness. The biological dimensions aren't clearly spelt out. An attitude of surrender is the best help.
Human beings have to aspire for transcending present limitations by evolving to next rung of consciousness. This is the simple message that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have conveyed through their writings and work. Savitri Era Party and Savitri Era Religion strive for spreading it.
Seeking Immortality is the central message of the Veda, and Sri Aurobindo has rekindled the same theme in Savitri. But it's not mere poetic imagination. He fleshes it out in the robust metaphysics of The Life Divine by harnessing Darwin and Spencer to establish its inevitability.
Savitri Era Religion came into being in the year 2006 in response to the need that the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have their own independent shelter. Savitri Era Party took birth, a year later, in 2007, in order to air an alternative political ideology and narrantive.
Human civilisation has grown exponentially during the last two centuries and the challenge of curating desirable content is getting complex. Mapping exercises, therefore, have a great relevance. Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo need to be included in University syllabus.
If one reads all the books written by Sri Aurobindo but not a booklet titled The Mother, then his understanding of his philosophy will be totally flawed. Without going into biographical or historical details, accepting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is best.
The Secret of the Veda is a unique book without any equal before or after. Unfortunately there's a great resistance to it and hence its revelations are not percolating to general consciousness. Savitri Era Religion is the only religion which respects and is guided by its findings.
There should be no dithering in acknowledging The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine so that surrender becomes real. Kowtowing to other entities is subversive of the evolutionary forces. Devotees should keep in mind not to be obstacles for Supramental consciousness.
For a Left with no future (NLR - 2012) by T. J. Clark has been circulated. No Western scholar is competent unless he refers to two dozen authors and thinkers. Unfortunately, Sri Aurobindo is never cited although he has a lot, significant, to say regarding the future of humanity.
