Our task is love, devotion, and surrender

All admirers, devotees, or followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are fortunate to have come in contact with them. But choosing to be prisoners of anti-evolutionary narratives amounts to wasting that opportunity. Savitri Era Party encourages intellectual culture for right steps.

Appreciating The Mother & Sri Aurobindo through their books may take decades but Savitri Era Religion is the secure route to access their greatness. Even, visiting Centres at times may feel repelling but Savitri Era Religion demands no rituals or methods of practice. One is free.

It's easy to be drawn into any faction given the multiple identity ghettoes in our country. Savitri Era Religion is also an identity based fraternity, but believes in universality and human unity. Savitri Era Party respects diversity and democratic route for resolving conflicts.

If Govt. can't manage temples, then why should it manage schools or colleges; or hospitals, for that matter? Administration is brick and mortar. Religion is a much broader concept than mere temples. Focusing on that is the real task. Auroville was private but Govt. took it over.

I understand the issue and wholly sympathise with your argument and demand. In fact I'm also demanding the same for Auroville. Churches and mosques have been outside Govt control but temples are large in number and unless a viable management model develops conflicts will mushroom

Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best option in the modern environment. It is free from mythology and rituals and seeks to collaborate with Earth's consciousness for descent of the Supramental light and force as per evolutionary journey.

True, but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent evolutionary power capable of transformation of human nature. Collaborating with that is the task. #Grok can help you further.

Current generation of Hindutva intellectuals are products of the temple movement where the rise was easy. Now they find that reading Sri Aurobindo is essential for their credibility. It's a difficult job and laid with interpretational mines. The presence of The Mother stymies too. 

History like mathematics has a very limited use in life but news and current affairs impose too much of it on people. Historical analysis is posed as crucial but the truth is that events rarely occur in the old format. Evolution is amazingly creative; expecting newness is a must.

An incomplete commentary on Isha Upanishad written around 1902 marks the beginning of The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo. Several other drafts are also available at incarnateword.in/cwsa/17

The published version can be accessed at incarnateword.in/cwsa/21 and incarnateword.in/cwsa/22.

When Book Two of The Life Divine was published in 1940 Sri Aurobindo included many new chapters by discarding old ones. incarnateword.in/cwsa/22 

In the last two chapters one can find the highest aspiration and vision for man as delineated by a mature philosopher who left in 1950.

Agreed that there hasn't been any "noticeable" confirmation of Divine Life as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo in the final chapter of The Life Divine. There appears to be no reason why if we sincerely hope for something won’t bear fruit. It is a therapy of hope, Hopeopathy, let’s say!

The Life Divine is generally considered a book of philosophy but it contains enormous insights on psychology as well as yoga. Further, it's also the sublimest expression of sociology. From ontological view too, it sets out the secrets of physics and biology. Poetry isn't missing.

The Life Divine constitutes the greatest Manifesto for the mankind. Reading it amounts to prayer for fulfilment of the prophecy it proclaims. Sri Aurobindo assures that the descent of the Supramental consciousness is an evolutionary inevitability. Surrender to The Mother is key.

It's interesting to compare the last three Arya chapters with the last two chapters of The Life Divine.

This also exhibits the unwavering faith and certitude of Sri Aurobindo in his basic philosophical thesis even after two decades.

A democratically elected Govt is the highest ideal in social and political thought and hence its actions and priorities can't be faulted. Citizens are well within their rights to demand change of policies but the Govt has its own compulsion of building consensus within the party.

Social media has empowered individuals to have their say but respecting democratic ethos is most important. Asking present Govt to rectify all errors of the past is absurd. Representing an interest group requires building an organisation. Otherwise, lone voices are empty vessels.

No Prime Minister had performed the kind of dextrous tightrope walking that Modi does in the full glare of Social media. Myriad chaotic and cacophonic narratives targeting disparate constituencies exemplify democratic polyphony. Repealing the farm laws is his greatest achievement. 

Students' Prayer forms one of the defining dictums of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. The inherent aspiration in it dovetails into a resolve, but discerning what's tainted with the past and which beacon of light beckons towards the future warrants dispassion and goodwill.

Divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the fundamental aspect of Savitri Era Religion which the outside world can never understand or accept. It is for the devotees to express that to let others know. It's not for nothing that major religions are spending so much on publicity.

Outsiders are always eager to compare The Mother & Sri Aurobindo with others, but it's a fruitless exercise. Their Divine Manifestation is unique and unprecedented. But even their intellectual output is lightyears ahead. No man has ever imagined what The Life Divine proclaims.

The Mother discouraged involvement in active politics in the Ashram, and that gives the wrong impression that Sri Aurobindo was against politics. In fact, both The Human Cycle and The Life Divine deal with collective affairs. Savitri Era Party aims at #FiveDreams and #WorldUnion.

The Bourgeois and the Samurai by Sri Aurobindo is also a good analysis in this context.

Direct disciples in the Ashram were responsible for dissemination of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy in a scholarly manner. Later, some University professors took it up for writing books and articles among whom Sisir Kumar Maitra (1887-1963), BHU was a pioneer.

Indra Sen (1903-1994) is famous for his book Integral Psychology. He had attended Heidegger's lectures and met Jung. He had first visited Puducherry with Surendranath Jauhar as a tourist but later became a devotee and left Delhi University to settle there.

Savitri Era Party has been demanding:

1) Abolition of Reservations

2) Inclusion of Sri Aurobindo in University syllabus

3) Lifting of ban on The Lives of Sri Aurobindo by Peter Heehs

4) Returning Auroville back to the devotees

5) Granting Sovereignty to the States for #WorldUnion

The trap of current affairs shouldn't delude us. Savitri Era Religion is open to all those who accept and worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. As devotees our task is love, devotion, and surrender. How the future evolution unfolds is their responsibility.

Based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's vision, Savitri Era Party maintains a valiant stand that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary. It's also against Congress due to its family ownership. Reservations should be abolished. Beyond this it's difficult to speculate on geopolitical matters.
