Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to spread new light and new consciousness. Very few people are aware of them. Still their philosophy has a secure place in the world of thought. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the fundamental principle of Savitri Era Religion (2006).

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is important because it is necessary from the point of view of the ongoing evolution. Descent of Supramental consciousness is inevitable, but conscious aspiration for it by human beings can accelerate the process.

Understanding The Life Divine as a deeply religious book has been avoided by the scholars. But the basic theory in it is how life is connected to the Divine. Proposing involution as the first half of the creation cycle Sri Aurobindo predicts man to evolve as the Supramental being. 

Devotees of Savitri Era Religion worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine without any mythology or rituals. Devotion and surrender to them is essential for descent of the Supramental consciousness upon earth. Savitri signifies aspiration for Vedic Immortality.

Interesting discussion. In Sri Aurobindo's more mature writings like The Human Cycle, it's difficult to locate any particular nationalism or even the so called civilisationalism. His theory of evolution of consciousness reaches further heights in his magnum opus, The Life Divine.

In Sri Aurobindo's scheme of things, the socio-political is very much a part of an individual's evolution of consciousness. Some scholars have called it Integral Advaita.

I agree. He shouldn't have blocked you so abruptly. But, then, you said something which has no factual basis, AFAIK . I will be happy if you share from where you got this piece of information. Sri Aurobindo is a national figure and any discussion on him, good or bad, is welcome.

The Lives of Sri Aurobindo (2008) and The Mother : A Life of Sri Aurobindo's Spiritual Collaborator (2025) by Peter Heehs provide authentic information about the birth and growth of the Ashram. Right now some controversy is going on regarding Auroville which is a different place.

Which brit? Which point? Please clarify.

Please google.

Peter Heehs is an author like thousands of others. You are free to contest his findings.

I am the founder of Savitri Era Religion. You are free join.

I have the first mover's advantage.

You are questioning everything like a modern day Socrates.

Please stick to one language so that others understand you properly.

All these facts are duly documented. But you are free to believe in your own theories.

Who was a Barrister?

Reading Sri Aurobindo means chipping away of one's own thinking on a continuous basis. Many, therefore, prefer to avoid him so that they are confident of their own individuality. Savitri Era Religion entails surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, without any emotional struggle.

I don't think Sri Aurobindo said any such thing. His major work is The Secret of the Veda in which he provided alternative meanings to various terms. Like Go is light instead of cow; Ashwa is power. So he unravelled psychological meanings which should be understood intellectually. 

I won't agree with your insistence on "only in samadhi" because evolution of consciousness is a continuous process and the trajectory is different for different persons. Thus it wouldn't be fair to exclude some from pursuing the study of the Veda or having experiences on the way.

You can read The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo online. The first chapter itself will clarify many things.

Everyone needn't be a fan of Sri Aurobindo but his intellectual and poetic output is enormous. The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo has 36 volumes apart from his conversations with disciples. They cover varieties of subjects and offer some original insights

As Sri Aurobindo passed away in 1950, he has nothing to do with Auroville which was founded in 1968. The Mother too passed away in 1973. Thus, Auroville has grown without their direct guidance. Ownership issue is the chief bone of contention and Govt should return it to devotees.

Political ideologies are very strong in India regardless of who is in power or where. Savitri Era Party has been trying to present alternative viewpoints based on the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Needless to mention that it opposes all other parties and organisations.

Sri Aurobindo arrived in Puducherry on April 4, 1910 and left his body on December 5, 1950. Most people are not aware of his contribution, nor of The Mother’s, during those forty years. Savitri Era Religion, however, worships them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present.

Persons of other religions can't be appointed as members of religious boards. This is a valid point raised by the Supreme Court. Savitri Era Party demands that non-devotees should be removed from Auroville Foundation so that devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo take decisions.

This is the time for devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to unite so that we get back Matrimandir and Auroville from the clutch of Govt. as per the dissenting judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy. I have been telling this through Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party.

Sri Aurobindo's philosophy can't be conceived without The Mother. Both of them are one entity and one consciousness or the one Supreme Divine as per Savitri Era Religion. Devotees and scholars may consider them accordingly without much attention to the historical train of events.

Savitri Era Religion is a global venture and has nothing to do with India, in particular. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo thought about the whole humanity and the proposed Life Divine encompasses all races and cultures. #FiveDreams of #SriAurobindo enumerate his future vision vividly.

Savitri Era Religion is different from Integral Advaita as it worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Further no distinction of Purusha and Prakriti or Ishwara and Shakti.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent aspiration for the higher consciousness as delineated in the Veda. They have reinvigorated it through Savitri. All past systems or symbols are obstacles. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine accelerates the evolution towards Immortality.

It's unfortunate that most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are unable to understand their ideals in an appropriate manner. I have been writing about Savitri Era Religion since 2006, but its reach is very limited. Let's hope, Savitri Era Party's relevance comes to the fore.

Savitri Era: Ayodhya case is like Auroville in miniature

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Every morning is a reminder that light and knowledge can transform our lives. The Veda and Savitri are two texts which explain the same though separated by millennia in origin. Transcending his present limits is the task for man. Surrendering to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is key.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have provided extensive guidance on inner psychological growth. Savitri Era Religion, however, is more concerned about devotion and loyalty towards them. Inner progress is subjective, and can't be replicated or evaluated. Devotees are free to pursue it.

Sri Aurobindo's life history has been thoroughly documented. Yet, his own sadhana and inner journey hasn't received much attention. Two volumes of Record of Yoga are a testament to the meticulous way he was prosecuting his spiritual practices. Many of his poems also reveal that.

Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) responded to many authors like William Archer (1856–1924), Sir John George Woodroffe (1865–1936) or Arthur Avalon, James Henry Cousins (1873–1956) or Mac Oisín or Jayaram, Karl Gotthard Lamprecht (1856–1915), and Ramchandra Dattatreya Ranade (1886–1957).

Sri Aurobindo wrote Yoga and Human Evolution in 1909 which contains the philosophy of The Life Divine in seed form. His stress on Vedic wisdom as against the materialist Western approach has been a boon for the humanity. But the West is yet to discover him. 

incarnateword.in/cwsa/13/yoga-a…

Chanced upon a melodious Sinhala song La dalu bopath Yashodhara Devi. We have a similar story in Mrinalini Devi (1887-1918) but when we are worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine she is just a footnote. Human emotions are irrelevant in this circumstance.

The Mother and her husband came to Puducherry to meet Sri Aurobindo on March 29, 1914. A lot many things happened thereafter and today we worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. This is Savitri Era Religion (2006). 

Different streams of philosophy, religions, and social organisations have been spreading falsehoods for centuries. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came to provide authentic knowledge in a modern and rational atmosphere. Join Savitri Era Religion for freedom from mythology and rituals.

Anyone with a rational mind can easily discover the supremacy of the philosophy of The Life Divine. Alternatively, if one is inclined towards poetry, it's not difficult to be ensnared by the charm of Savitri. These are stepping stones for worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Prejudice is the biggest disease and most people in our country are unable to know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo because of it. Leftists, Hindutva activists, modern gurus, and public intellectuals spread prejudice against them in different ways. Education system ignores them.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine was never explained theoretically by them. Hence the philosophy they wrote stands modified to a significant extent. Devotees should refer to them wherever the Divine is mentioned. Describing them as Avatar is wrong.

Savitri Era Party doesn't approve of the present political climate in India. It foresees Sovereignty of the States for nurturing local level creativity and innovation. Sri Aurobindo has predicted #WorldUnion in his #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947. It can start from India. 

Leftist ideology has been the butt of criticism for the last three four decades, but poverty and deprivation haven't vanished. Strangely, political parties no longer consider it as an issue. Eastern States of India have, traditionally, been suffering from deep economic disparity.

Thanks to Ken Wilber, Sri Aurobindo became known among Western intellectuals. His philosophy of evolution is cited at times vis-à-vis Plotinus, Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, Bergson, Whitehead, et al. His epic Savitri, also, has been compared to that of Dante, Goethe, and Milton.

Ananda means endlessness or Immortality. Aspiration for it is the primary need in the yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But surrender to them is the means for this task. Because it's only through the joint action of the call and the grace that success in this can be achieved.

Many people express scepticism about philosophy being scientific. But it's simple to demonstrate. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy involving the cycle of evolution and involution irrefutably proposes action of Divine plan. Thus, it's an integration of science, philosophy, and religion.

Savitri Era Religion (2006) has neither Govt recognition nor public acceptance. Yet worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of any mythology or rituals. Savitri and The Life Divine are the base.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo isn't limited to the Ashram or Auroville. Their devotees are present all over the globe who carry forward the aspiration for descent of the Supramental consciousness. Seeking their infinite love and grace is a daily affair for devotees. 

Savitri Era Party (2007) reiterates its demand for recognising Savitri Era Religion (2006) as a separate religion and returning Matrimandir and Auroville to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

It was easy to castigate the Eminent Historians but Hindutva scholars have failed miserably in producing even primary books on Indian history. There's no consensus among their intellectuals on various facts and mixing myth and propaganda continues to be their strategy. Sad state!

Sri Aurobindo left Chandannagar and arrived at Puducherry on April 4, 1910. It turns out that he would be meeting The Mother's husband there with whom The Mother herself would come after four years. British and French colonialism plus WWI provide good backdrop to the whole drama.

Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the duty of the Devotees and the basis of Savitri Era Religion is that. It's not easy to predict future events relying on their writings. But aspiration for Supramental consciousness should be a constant task. Reading Savitri helps too.

Institutions have their own compulsions, but devotees, in general, are relatively free as regards their devotion to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Seeking their love and grace and surrendering all aspects of life to their will and guidance should be a spontaneously joyful endeavour.

Savitri Era Party has been opposing Hindutva since its inception, in 2007. Savitri Era Religion (2006) has no connection with Hindu or any other religion. Govt must recognise it as a separate religion and return Auroville and Matrimandir to devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Considering the vast amount of writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Sri Aurobindo Studies should have been a full-fledged subject in Universities. It would have provided the right orientation to students who come from the general streams of Humanities.

Savitri Era Religion avoids false promises with regard to Integral yoga. Those who hanker for attaining spiritual powers or self-realisation should consult other gurus. Savitri Era Religion encourages establishing direct relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo via surrender.

Innumerable devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo prefer not to exhibit their allegiance to them on account of various social pressures. Savitri Era Religion is an invitation to them for announcing, openly, that we worship #TheMother & #SriAurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have promised the descent of Supramental consciousness as an evolutionary inevitability. This is the fundamental principle of Savitri Era Religion. Two intersecting triangles in SA's symbol denote the call from below and the Divine grace that answers.

Sri Aurobindo has praised the role of religion, at places, but political parties are milking religion for power and wealth. In such a circumstance, new avenues are needed for harnessing the spiritual urge latent in the humanity. Savitri Era Religion is such an alternative course.

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are conversant with hostile forces and instincts and impulses that they talk about which impede sadhana. These are not mere abstract notions or psychological waves but biological factors like genes, DNAs, hormones, enzymes, and gut bacteria.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are words and sentences which contain enormous wisdom and guidance. But without worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, it's futile to expect any benefit from them. Devotion and surrender play the magic of invoking power in their words.

All political parties have contributed significantly to the growth of democracy in India. BJP too has its positive side but Hindutva has damaged social harmony. A day will come when its leaders will understand this. Savitri Era Party and Savitri Era Religion are the best options.

No one is writing on Sri Aurobindo or his philosophy although there are myriad themes in his writings. His narrative poems and the plays are a world apart. His discussions on poetry, similarly, offer wide ranging insights. However, the underlying premise is the spiritual reality.

The first railway track was constructed in Chennai in 1835 and development of India has been continuing since then. So no govt should take extra credit for achieving this or that. What we see today in any sector is a cumulative result. It'll grow in the course of the next decade.

Savitri Era Religion seeks to spread love and devotion towards The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are the one Supreme Divine without any connection with any other religion or philosophy. Their epochal philosophy of evolution promises descent of the Supramental consciousness on earth.

It's a great blessing that one is introduced to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Yet most prefer to be lackadaisical about it and thus lose invaluable opportunities. Savitri Era Religion invites everyone not to be scared by the demands of yoga and choose the path of surrender instead.
