Savitri Era: Let there be no end savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/11/let-th…
Collated X posts, in original, by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b.1956). This blog, running since 2005, provides an alternative worldview and narrative based on the philosophy, yoga, and future vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
That The Mother & Sri Aurobindo spent enormous energy for defeating Hitler is the basic mythology of Savitri Era Religion. This template is very important for understanding political developments since evolution turns some as its instruments irrespective of flaws and deficiencies.
I don't understand technology, and hence am susceptible to nourishing doubts about the election process. Manipulation has been an weapon for Modi from the day one. It is continuing from the British period but now it is beyond the power of comprehension of any common man. Ominous!
My naïveté about spirituality and ethics was blown away during the controversy over a book by Peter Heehs in 2008. Since then, I have been relying on my own understanding for interpreting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's relevance. No ecosystem networking or funding. No echo chamber.
The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo is a unique resource for symbolic and psychological interpretation of various deities. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/sarasw…

I have tried to read various things, including The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings, through my seventy years, but haven't been able to understand life or the world. Art, literature, theatre, philosophy, etc have myriad theories but nothing is conclusive. That's human condition!

The Mother passed away on November 17, 1973. Peter Heehs has written an excellent biography of her which has been admirably reviewed by Aravindan Neelakandan.
Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only condition for Savitri Era Religion. Even, one is free not to believe in their philosophy or prophecy. Exploring the intellectual firmament should be an individual's independent enterprise. No compulsion.
The State-wise picture is more complex. In UP, people have been voting for different combinations. Charan Singh was the first to rebel against Congress. Thus, it's not a straight shift from Congress to BJP.

I'm not a Modi supporter and writing against him for more than a decade but would like to plead for him a bit. He may not be well accomplished in education but has enormous grassroots experience and long administrative experience apart from being in different parties. Good actor!

By establishing the Ashram on November 24, 1926, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo created a metanarrative. Its growth process was complex and multilayered. The practice of Integral yoga itself was unstructured and adventurous. It continues to attract attention as a model of fraternity.
Savitri Era Religion, with its global presence, can usher in a better social and political atmosphere. Allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can inculcate a rational attitude for problem solving. Freedom from influence of monarchy via mythology encourages democratic approach.
Savitri Era narrative is twenty years old which favours aggressive publicity for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Dedicated handles on this platform is almost negligible which proves lack of conviction on this score. However awareness of them is growing as other narratives are hollow.
One should reach at Sri Aurobindo through genuine intellectual quest but that's difficult. Savitri Era Religion provides the easy way of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and subsequently exploring their philosophy and yoga as per one's capability.
My twenty years in social media of disseminating The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's message is backed by forty years of devotion, loyalty, study of their and allied literature, and different types of organisational and promotional work. Being an example in society is also one of them.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo worked for the Vedic ideal of Immortality. Various deities have been interpreted by them as a ladder of consciousness, and descent of Supramental consciousness is part of the evolutionary journey. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is essential.
At the essential level, philosophy and religion have the same goals, and, hence, Western thought has failed to maintain its avowed distinction, on many occasions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, thankfully, don't profess such pretensions, and talk about The Life Divine, forthrightly.
Ken Wilber gave a big push to Sri Aurobindo towards the end of the last century and yet the West remains oblivious of him. Even CIIS has banished him. It can easily be perceived that The Mother is the barrier. But she turns out to be the pivot and fulcrum of his whole enterprise.
It is only by reading his Complete Works that one can discover why Sri Aurobindo is the greatest poet and philosopher. incarnateword.in/cwsa
The Life Divine is acknowledged as his magnum opus where he integrates philosophy, religion, politics, and physics. Savitri seeks Immortality.
Savitri Era Religion is about worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Their philosophy and yoga psychology are vast and elaborate, but the devotee is not bound by them.
It's surprising that many people assume the flow of time needs to be tamed and accuse history to have been unjust to them. Such an approach doesn't stand scrutiny from evolutionary viewpoint. Those who feel Colonialism was an aberration should understand its transforming power.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry has some strict rules regarding lifestyle and the relevance of such an organisation today should be judged carefully. Dependence for livelihood makes many people to be part of it without any significant contribution towards society or spirituality.
Life is complex, and Integral yoga is a good coping mechanism, but being admitted to the coercive life of the Ashram at a young age should not be an option for any one. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the right formula instead of deceptive romanticising of spirituality.
Decontextualising is considered a defective practice but, paradoxically, Sri Aurobindo himself has been cruelly decontextualised in many of his edited volumes of Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (CWSA). Letters and names of the disciples have been omitted. incarnateword.in/cwsa
There are many books on Sri Aurobindo's philosophy but they aren't integrated with the aspect of religion that he & The Mother represent. In this sense, a comprehensive appraisal of his legacy awaits scholarly attention. Limiting him to nationalism too is another misleading line.
RSS definition of Hindu is changing over the years and now it accommodates even the atheists. It's also talking about spirituality and the Veda. Savitri Era Religion however is on the opposite course. Atheists have no place here as worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a must.
Now Malhotra and Rao aren't on the same page as regards the definition of Hindu. Others are accusing Ranganathan and Deepak for derailing the Hindu cause. Madhusudan too faces diatribe on many occasions. While this slugfest is amusing, we, at Savitri Era Religion, feel protected.
Savitri Era Religion is very much a reality and it's for the scholars and journalists to probe the phenomenon. Hindutva was on the rise during last three decades but is gradually losing steam and sheen after temple construction. In such a scenario Savitri Era Party has potential.
Accepting her as the Divine Mother at a young age helped me to be free from the irrational influence of Astrology, Mythology, and Rituals. Sri Aurobindo's symbolic interpretation of the Veda fleshed out my conviction later. These are the basic foundations of Savitri Era Religion.
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother used to stress that their life-stories are not important as their inner consciousness is the true reflection. This was surely intriguing but the fact is, when we worship them as the one Supreme Divine, then binding them to biographical plot is absurd.
On November 24, 1926, Sri Aurobindo attained Siddhi and a new phase of his life began. The day also marks establishment of Sri Aurobindo Ashram under The Mother's guidance. The yoga of Sri Aurobindo also took a new turn. It became The Mother-centric. His philosophy had to change.
Philosophy draws a line as its limit and then tries to explain the whole resulting in endless, tangled arguments and theories. Sri Aurobindo, straightaway, goes to the source. Savitri Era Religion still simplifies and worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.
Hindutva, in its effort to expand its influence, is increasingly depending upon Sri Aurobindo's explanations of religion and spirituality. This mode of appropriation is absolutely predatory, and I have been pointing this out since 2005. Savitri Era Religion acts as a shield here.
No one is writing on Sri Aurobindo as neither textual analysis nor comparative studies offer any newness. Religion is the only space left on which I hold copyright. If Savitri Era Religion really establishes as a new religion by 2050 then my place is secured in the history books.
Every now and then, people post about either purchasing or reading a specific book but till now, I haven't seen anyone proclaiming that he has completed The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo. Let me reiterate that voyaging through this oceanic expanse is a must for every intellectual.
Savitri Era Party is the only party which adopts SriAurobindo as its icon. It's surprising that no one else among 8.2 billion people on this planet is enthusiastic about him. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present.
AI is writing encyclopedia and in future the narrative it creates will be treated as most authentic. Old history books will lose their relevance. So what I'm posting today is fodder for tomorrow's history. Credibility will matter; not celebrity status. Social media will be source.
