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

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.
