My place is secured in the history books

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!

Savitri Era Learning Forum: Sri Aurobindo's message is very simple selforum.blogspot.com/2025/11/sri-au

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.

Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths

Guides and counsellors

Are mushrooming these days

Experts on life-skills

Release videos everyday.

All are ready to heal

With varieties of therapy

But they forget the fact

That we are all patients!

Finitude and ignorance

Is our common ailment

Like the blind men

Before an elephant.

Looks like for all these years

The song was in hiding and lo

Half-the-day has passed 

By humming it since the morning

The song has it all

The sky, the stars, rain and lightning

The sun, and forests and gardens

With birds chirping and butterflies fluttering

Nobody could have predicted the future events when Sri Aurobindo and The Mother met for the first time in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. Thus, recognising their contribution retrospectively is paramount from the evolution's view. Historians wouldn't be interested in consciousness.

Those who ruled India in the last century are nowhere now. The present rulers, similarly, will be washed away by the flow of time. Savitri Era Party prays to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their constant protection and guidance to the section who stands on the side of evolution.

Always write Sri Aurobindo

Don't club him with Vivekananda

Don't try to make sense of him via quotations

Don't think that he worked for Hinduism or Hindutva

Don't imagine him without The Mother

Don't assume that he detested politics or religion

Don't say he thought for India only

https://x.com/i/status/1993492121517801727

In this unequal world

When all are fighting for their rights

Mother tongue is the nature's gift

In equal measure.

Young and old, rich or poor

Can pour out their emotions

Without any inhibitions

Without any character limits.

No rationing or carbon footprint,

But silence is golden!

His prose is dense; otherwise Sri Aurobindo's writings are quite rational and systematic. Understanding his arguments is not difficult but his versatility deserves to be admired. Only in The Secret of the Veda he exhibits his originality and mystic ability by hermeneutic novelty.

Regardless of scholarly verdicts, it is apparent that Savitri Era Religion is modelled on the Semitic faiths. The Mother's Western background, connection with Max Théon, and Messianic philosophy add to the credence. Sri Aurobindo, however, represents the Vedic substratum and aim.

Savitri Era Religion

New sun in the horizon

Will dispel the darkness

Of prejudice and confusion.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

Who are always present

Carry on the evolution

Towards a state resplendent.

We on our part

Have to rely on them

Like in a train

Through picturesque terrain.

Thales rejected Mythology, and Western philosophy was born. Sri Aurobindo, however, seeks to expand the scope of reason and insists on supra-physical realities. While it is difficult to refute such philosophical assertions, immense hurdles appear from the practical point of view.

Childhood can't be imagined without stories and adults are no less addicted to movies. With so much of material entering our mind it's certainly difficult to know who we really are. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion helps.

As far as I am concerned, I feel that The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have not permitted us to rely upon any set of technicalities beyond their own formulation and terminologies. Hence professional knowledge shouldn't interfere in our aspirational trajectory. selforum.blogspot.com/2017/06/he-hea

Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950 and how India has been able to benefit from him during the last 75 years is a matter which must be analysed deeply in all spheres. Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for adopting him as an icon for raising politics to a new level.

Sri Aurobindo's commentaries on scriptures and epics are considered valuable. His extolling of ancient Indian culture is also inspiring. His works on education, art, and literary criticsm have started impressing the academic community. All these have immense educative potential.

Universities in India teach Analytic philosophy, Continental philosophy, Ancient Indian philosophy, and some selected modern Indian social philosophy like Gandhi and Ambedkar. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of The Life Divine, unfortunately, has not been included in their syllabus.

Indian Constitution is an admirable document, but its authorship is a bone of contention. Has Sri Aurobindo any role to play in its drafting? The answer is no, but if one analyses his writings in Bande Mataram and Karmayogin, then it becomes apparent how he dealt with principles.

Explosion of information hasn't made people any wiser. Motivated narratives rule the roost and pride in pushing them ahead is increasing. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion is the only way for saner living in this scenario.

Criticising Colonialism is a pet practice of politicians and academics alike. Savitri Era Party however is firm in its view that Colonialism, despite its negative features, was an instrument of evolution and hence blanket antagonism against Western culture is blatantly erroneous.

The metaphysical framework built by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most modern and coherent worldview without knowing which one is liable to be misguided. Studying it by self-effort is essential as the general education system is yet to accommodate it.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't have any apex authority

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This is the right time to study the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for a couple of months before choosing any other platform or project. Right knowledge has the power to lead one in the right direction.

Then you would have written Sri instead of Shri.

https://x.com/i/status/1995184991756841064

People don't know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Understanding their philosophy or spirituality is possible through dedicated avenues like Savitri Era Religion. Otherwise, they remain buried under the history of their scores of more famous contemporaries, in the last century.

Several factors led to the rise of hate-based Hindutva like the Temple movement, Terrorism sponsored by Pakistan, Appeasement policies of Govt., Wrong depiction in Bollywood, Stray incidents during festivals, and Targeting women. But political exploitation of it is reprehensible.

I just clicked a news item by Jagran Josh in the Google homepage. Immediately, pop-ups started raining incessantly in different shapes and sizes. Must be two dozens, and exasperated, I quit. All sense of decency and decorum has vanished now. No sense of proportion or any emotion!

Belief in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, as the one Supreme Divine, is the fundamental requirement for any progress in yoga. Because aspiration for the higher consciousness is possible only when one has full faith and confidence in them. It is more than mere devotion or surrender.

If you read Sri Aurobindo's later works, evolution is the watchword. Thus, if you feel that the past should be the guiding spirit, it may not be appropriate. Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950, but he had never associated himself with the ideology or activities of RSS.

AI can answer any question on Sri Aurobindo in a second. No need to read scholarly books. But the challenge is to go beyond established narratives. Savitri Era Religion is completely new and lacks citations. Thus AI would be silent about it. So, need to recognise the new reality.

Twenty years back, a lot of people in the West were talking about Sri Aurobindo owing to Ken Wilber. However, in A New Look at Aurobindo (1990), Frank Thompson had demonstrated how Sri Aurobindo's philosophy was manifestly influenced by Christian doctrines digitalcommons.butler.edu/cgi/viewconten

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the core principle of Savitri Era Religion, established in the year, 2006. Sri Aurobindo had passed away on December 5, 1950 and The Mother on November 17, 1973.

Heartening to see that tributes and homages to Sri Aurobindo are pouring in from all corners. Looks like the nation's consciousness is fast opening to receive his epochal vision. Need to demolish the conspiracy of Marxist historians to banish him. Five hours left to pay respects.

Although representatives of all parties are expressing their deep reverence towards Sri Aurobindo, only Savitri Era Party (2007) is truly dedicated to his ideals. Other parties have other icons and respective ideologies but Savitri Era Party is free from predetermined narratives.

Admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are very much within their rights to be guided by the standard form of their teachings. However, as Founder of Savitri Era Religion, I have been pursuing a different path since 2006 without any qualm of defying them.

No one assured me that the country I was born in will be a highly developed one. So, no frustration on that count. No one gave any firm indication that human misery will vanish. So, no disappointment on that score, either. That leaves only The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to rely upon.

Men may come and men may go, but the world goes on forever. Thus to think that we can understand the functioning of the world and change it according to our fond hopes is nothing but a superstition. So in the meantime, worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't assure any success in yoga. It avoids any promise of spiritual visions or mystical experiences, as found in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. It simply provides an alternative ontology that they are the one Supreme Divine, who are always present.

Only those who are conversant with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy understand how others have a very different worldview and outlook. Both for the religious and secular minded, reading the books like The Life Divine or The Synthesis of Yoga can open new vistas of insight.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914, but the world is still reluctant to recognise its profound significance. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine without any reliance on brick and mortar. Also no connection to any other religion or mythology.

Giving it a fine structural framework many thought that Integral yoga can be practiced independently but unfortunately the whole system is nonfunctional unless tethered to The Mother. She is the pivot and the fulcrum and her love, grace, and compassion is an essential ingredient.

Savitri Era Party is the only solution in the current political situation. Recognising Sri Aurobindo and his future vision should have been the job of intellectuals long ago but better late than never. This will happen by the grace of The Mother and not by orchestrating protests.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata on August 15, 1872. Bengal Renaissance had run its full course. Later during his participation in the Freedom struggle, he started publishing his synthetic vision in Bande Mataram, Karmayogin, and Dharma. Savitri Era Party seeks to take it ahead.

By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, Savitri Era Religion (2006) modifies the metaphysical framework and system of yoga of Sri Aurobindo. It also bypasses his assertion of not starting any new religion.

I happen to be the Founder of Savitri Era Religion but it doesn't have any apex authority or institution. There is no initiation ceremony nor any system of registration. So it is by expressing their affiliation to it by the devotees voluntarily that Savitri Era Religion can grow.

Savitri Era Party disagrees with the dominant historical narratives since the role of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has been neglected deliberately. Similarly, it feels that many currents of Western philosophy are irrelevant since Sri Aurobindo's insights have not been incorporated.

Hindutva has been overactive to appropriate Sri Aurobindo and takeover the network of Centres and devotees related to him. I am the only person who speaks against Hindutva in public under the banner of Savitri Era Religion (2006) & Savitri Era Party (2007) savitriera.blogspot.com

Savitri Era Religion doesn't consider The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings to be self-evident truth. They have to be read within their context and reconstrued according to the new ontology of worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, where needed. Calling them avatar is wrong.

The Mother declared that the Supramental light and force touched the Earth consciousness on February 29, 1956. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party, therefore, are in a constant state of anticipation. All preconceived ideas and predetermined narratives are of little utility. 

Savitri Era Religion is against proving the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It's a matter of perception by the devotee. One can be influenced by any of their multiple facets. That acceptance is important. Otherwise, it is a long struggle of reading snippets and comparing.

Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as icons is the basic requirement for Savitri Era Party. Aspiring for human unity and world peace in accordance with the vision of The Life Divine forms the object. The #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947 lays out the blueprint.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend living either in the Ashram or Auroville since ordinary life provides the right circumstances and opportunities for evolution of any individual. Similarly it's also incorrect that Integral education can be imparted through dedicated schools.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion involves an entirely new ontology without any connection with old philosophies, theologies, theosophies, or mythologies. To call them Yogi, Rishi, Guru, or Avatar, therefore, is erroneous.

Savitri Era Religion will solve many problems of the world by its new ontology of worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Savitri Era Party too spreads a new narrative.

Just noticed that Richard Hartz pronounces the t of Savitri as in tree. Is it really impossible for Westerners to call me ତୁଷାର and not ଟୁଷାର? Nobody knows more than him the value of mantra and how pronouncing the name Savitri, itself, in the right way, is profoundly significant!

As it's becoming more and more evident that it is impossible for people now to read a book like The Life Divine or delve into an epic like Savitri, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion (2006), is the most appropriate avenue.

I came in contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo at eight in 1964 and The Mother passed away in 1973. I haven't seen her. However I had imbibed enough inspiration during those ten years which sustains me even today. I have been spreading their message via social media since 2005
