I had launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 and twenty years have passed. Discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has taken many different forms. Thankfully, no one today feels bad about publicity on them. However writing on them has dwindled.

I have been spreading an alternative narrative on this platform for the last fourteen years. I have not come across anyone who agrees with me. That is because no one else has the kind of grounding in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo akin to me.

The aims of economics and politics have to be imbued with morality and compassion. This is on the basis of the inherent unity of all human beings or fraternity. Savitri Era Party, driven by the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is in a unique position to pursue this path.
Integral yoga, Integral education, Integral Advaita, etc. are associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Integral philosophy, Integral psychology, or Integral sociology also are used at times. However nuances are different and are modified according to the situation or argument.
Despite espousing Enlightenment values, Western countries have not been able to create something like Auroville. So expecting it to be a reality in India is a chimera. But as a private property, it belongs to Savitri Era Religion. Govt. should not force secularism on Matrimandir.
Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo understand who they are, as for others they are just historical characters. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are an attempt to gather their devotees and followers under one umbrella so that adverse attacks can be fought with unity.
More and more types of interactive, immersive experiences are going to swamp the human mind in future as a result of which reading will be pushed to the background. Seducing attention with attractive pictures and videos, therefore, is not an innocent act; it's clearly subversive.
Each educated Indian should read The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo incarnateword.in/cwsa/15
One may not be interested about the Veda itself but understanding the meanings of a handful of terms can alter his or her perspective. However SA's opposition to AIT is not foolproof.
Please search AIT at my X profile page. You can use any keyword to know my views on different subjects. Sri Aurobindo is a scholar and hence his writings are subject to critical scrutiny. It's a standard academic practice and I can't stop it. Thus we need to be cautious.
Constitution of India is against its languages. States are generally open for anyone and thus migration is rampant. In such a situation, maintaining the purity of languages is a herculean task. Politicians just pay lip service but they understand the benefits of mixed demography.
Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been my most practical contribution during the last twenty years. As its Director, I have been highlighting importance of right knowledge and perspective instead of yoga, sadhana, spirituality, or mystical experiences.
Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can heal the Hindutva contagion, easily. Graduating from Uttarpara speech to the #FiveDreams Manifesto is a natural and effortless journey if one is genuinely curious and sincere. Opposition parties don't possess this potent formula, alas!
The #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo was broadcast over AIR, Tiruchirappalli on August 14, 1947, a few hours before the Tryst with Destiny speech was delivered by Nehru in Delhi. It has been in the sidelines all these years, but seems like to be the focus as India's agenda.
Savitri Era Religion doesn't depend on the usual methods employed by other religions. Instead of being a collective or community affair, it's by the individual in his own unique way. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine triggers a myriad possibilities.
I have been trying to bring clarity to understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy since their writings are full of complex concepts and formulations. Besides, their historical roles have many twists and turns. So the first step is to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.
English is sacred to us because Savitri is written in it. Hence respecting its grammar and punctuation marks should be an elementary concern while writing. Avoiding space or paragraph after every sentence gives a compact look just like the arguments offered shouldn't be spacious.
Savitri Era Religion believes that the reception of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's ideas in future will be on the basis of a more rigorous examination of their philosophy and methodology, which is good. Thus a simply devotion-centric scenario is not enough but worshipping them key.
The Foundations of Indian Culture by Sri Aurobindo is an enigmatic work, now available as The Renaissance in India incarnateword.in/cwsa/20
Many confuse it as his glorification of ancient India, as a result of which his scenario-vision of an ideal society embedded in it is missed.
Sri Aurobindo is the biggest brand of India and anyone promoting it will automatically be benefitted. This is at the pure material level. As a prominent soft power resource, handling its vast inventory imparts commensurate profits at the consciousness level. Grace has its effect.
While it's tempting to dismiss Feuerbach et al as symbols of suspicion or banishment, it would be more fruitful to harness their neglected dimensions, like Indra reclaiming cows, or light, from the Vritras. In this context, Adam Smith, or even Franz Kafka, can come to the rescue.
It's not Rishi Aurobindo. It's simply Sri Aurobindo. No Rishi or Maharshi. He signed in the style as Sri Aurobindo. His books have been published under the name Sri Aurobindo. His Ashram at Puducherry is Sri Aurobindo Ashram. So please don't distort his name. He is Sri Aurobindo.
Fine. Then he should be called Rishi Sri Aurobindo and not Rishi Aurobindo. Sri is very much part of his adopted name and not an honorific. He also dropped the surname Ghose. Further, he was against using old titles llike Rishi as his task was conquering new higher consciousness.
As the one Supreme Divine, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. They have resolved all philosophical disputes, and put paid to perennial quarrels over political and economic ideologies. May it be recognised!
GoogleAI provided a long list of benefits of watching movies when I asked it, Am I missing much by not watching them? It's fine, but at my age those benefits don't matter much. But I'm of the view that too much of stress on it is harmful. Fighting political battles via it is bad.
