Savitri Era Religion is a threat to other religions

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Genesis of Savitri Era Religion can be traced to the meeting of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, at Puducherry, on March 29, 1914. This year, it will be the 111th anniversary of this great occasion. Though not a Darshan Day, it's no less in significance. All must prepare to celebrate.

Savitri Era Religion is a threat to other religions as more and more educated people are coming under the influence of the modern and rational philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri as a poem of incredible beauty and inspiration is drawing attention all over the world.

Savitri Era Religion avoids false promises for attaining supernatural powers through meditation. It also discourages any sort of ritual or fixed method of practice. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the basic necessity which is a matter of faith.

Savitri Era Religion recommends reading Sri Aurobindo's writings in a slow and steady manner without treating any particular book as containing his whole philosophy. Similarly, assuming brief quotations to be his opinion on the subject is also erroneous. His letters were personal. 

Savitri Era Religion is based on a messianic philosophy akin to some science fiction. Thus, it is beyond any rational scrutiny. But, Sri Aurobindo's arguments are logical and coherent. Anyone reading with an open mind can be convinced. The yoga aspect is an additional attraction.

Scientific and philosophical debates were stirring intellectual world a century back but now it seems to be barren. Politics too appears to have abdicated its emancipatory dreams. Everything is quotidian. Sri Aurobindo's Savitri has the real charm when mental gymnastics evaporate. 

Savitri Era Religion is averse to draw utilitarian inferences from Sri Aurobindo's writings since they are broad strokes and futuristic in nature. He hinted at different possibilities, and insisted that evolution is not linear. So, expecting a logical course of events is in vain.

In the Prologue of The Mother Peter Heehs explains his style of writing the biography. He claims to have avoided the conventional way of justifying the final outcome. He adopts the historical approach of recounting the day-to-day details. It may be good documentation but inchoate. 

Search for the meaning of life, love, and conflict is going on since the beginning of the human civilisation but no definite solution has been discovered. The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide a dependable framework for pursuing this search without getting derailed.

It's easy to notice amalgamation of different cultures and religions in the commentaries of Sri Aurobindo. He sought to show the essential human urge for beauty and perfection as universal. The Mother too embodied this aspiration. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is key. 

Not simply materialistic redesigning of work situations but imbuing it with surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the real skill in works. Remember and offer is the linchpin of All life is yoga. Reading a few lines from Savitri implies invocation of the urge for Immortality.

54th All Odisha Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Conference will be held at Matrubhaban, Cuttack from April 4 to 7. History of this important event has numerous tales of The Mother's grace to tell but unfortunately there is no attempt to document them although old devotees are passing.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises and lead the evolutionary march. Worshipping them with love, devotion, and surrender amounts to collaboration with evolution for descent of the Supramental consciousness upon earth.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have introduced absolutely new concepts for self-development and social harmony backed by a scientifically aligned robust philosophy. This is something unique and unprecedented. It's for the people to recognise its significance instead of old practices.

The Ashram is a contradiction when seen in the context of the life-embracing philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It had some relevance during their physical presence but such a model of commune living has no sanction under Indian Constitution as administration is coercive.

Savitri Era Religion is based on a sound philosophy. The more people read The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books, the more will they be attracted towards their divinity and spirituality. Reciting Savitri, regularly, is also a means of discovering their infinite love and compassion.

Reluctance to accept The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is very much apparent on this platform and hence Savitri Era Religion has great relevance. Devotees must unite under Savitri Era Party's banner, so that incidents like Auroville or Ayodhya are not repeated.

Savitri implies rebellion against death and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were continuously working in this direction. They are the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. Savitri Era Religion is trying to popularise this new movement of surrendering to them. 

Describing The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in accordance with traditional philosophies or old religions is fairly common. Savitri Era Religion, however, insists on they being the one Supreme Divine without any connection with the past systems. Readiness for accepting newness is vital.
