Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era Religion

Worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo

As the one Supreme Divine

Who are always present in their three poises.

No castes or customs

No mythology or rituals

No initiation ceremony

Or any intermediary.

Anyone can join voluntarily,

To launch a journey evolutionary.

People keep on comparing and conflating Sri Aurobindo with others. It's a misleading job. Sri Aurobindo himself has a dozen facets. Understanding his each aspect and harmonising them with present reality is itself a challenging task. But most just mention him to signal erudition!

I have been writing on Sri Aurobindo here but the Hindutva brigade avoids me like the plague. For them the right knowledge or the right direction is not important but mythology is. Even now, when the caste is such a big issue, who else than Sri Aurobindo can come to their rescue?

The Constitution of India mandates a nation where all are equal. No doubt, many such ideals are drawn from the Bible or Western philosophers. But a more fundamental philosophical underpinning is provided by Sri Aurobindo. Engaging with him is necessary for right ideological clue.

Apart from The Mother book, several major works of Sri Aurobindo become relevant on the question of caste. They are Essays on the Gita, The Secret of the Veda, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine, and The Human Cycle. All devotees and followers must prepare for future debates.

Savitri Era Religion will cover the whole world, so that the fight among old religions vanishes. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the only way for world peace and human unity. This is also evolutionarily ordained for achieving Vedic Immortality.

She has absolutely no relevance for others, nobody knows her; but for us she is everything, the golden bridge. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

By forming Savitri Era Religion in 2006 I affirmed that we have no connection with old religions. Our love, devotion, and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only thing that counts. By starting Savitri Era Party in 2007 similarly I declared, we are against all parties.

We can be the ruling party. Just one person is needed to contest in each constituency. Thereafter, it's the choice of the people.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo didn't start any new religion or political party. I created the Savitri Era banner after I got access to instant web publishing in 2005. I have been doing many ideological fine tuning over the years. Devotees and followers are requested to examine them.

Those who haven't read The Life Divine can't understand why I'm so optimistic about Savitri Era Religion or Savitri Era Party. The changes The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have foreseen won't happen overnight. Commensurate infrastructure has to be built for ushering in an ideal society. 

Savitri Era narrative has been successful to rescue the discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from the narrow confines of the Ashram or Auroville. The relevance of the #FiveDreams Manifesto is worldwide and hence a paradigm shift as regards practice of Integral yoga is overdue.

Savitri Era Party has been demanding returning Auroville to the devotees and withdrawing non-devotees from its administration. There should be a semblance of democracy in its functioning and it shouldn't be run like a govt development project. Reconising Savitri Era Religion too.

The Life Divine doesn't talk about any particular nation or religion. It doesn't talk about airports either. Yet it remains the most coherent explanation of why we are here and where we go from here. Without reading it, it is impossible to imagine its immensity and inevitability.

Savitri Era Party (2007), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, has been demanding abolition of reservations and all provisions in the Constitution relating to castes and religions. Social justice can't be achieved by prolonging discrimination perpetually. #FiveDreams

As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005, I have been highlighting that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy doesn't mean mere silent meditation but acquiring wide knowledge and political sensibilities for facing the fast-changing challenges of the modern world.

I'm appalled at the fact that people who are fairly conversant with Sri Aurobindo's The Human Cycle hold sympathies for almost an opposite kind of politics in India. Savitri Era Party, however, has an uncompromising stand apropos the past and promises to espouse enlightening way.

After listing Nineteen sets of irreconcilable contradictions, Goblipura Subbaramiah has recommended that every Indian child should learn Ramayana and Mahabharata. There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Ergo, Savitri Era Religion owes allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Deeply aware of the bankruptcy of Hindutva as an ideology, Modi has been building his personal charisma in the model of mythological Monarchy. Though a successful formula, it is subversive of democracy. Savitri Era Party aspires for a political atmosphere, devoid of manipulation.

Sandeep Balakrishna has lamented in a post that people are not reading the history of Indian culture from primary sources in Indian languages. Now, this is a back-breaking task for the new generation! But he has not disclosed what scholars like him have established, conclusively.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

All Nature dumbly calls to her alone.

To heal with her feet the aching throb of life.

- Sri Aurobindo (Savitri, 3.2.)

An old Odia ଓଡିଆ song by Raghunath Panigrahi.

youtu.be/Evu-w9q6omU?si…

A decade back, I had presented a paper in a Conference at Nitte contextualising The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's perspective which was published in their journal, Nitte Management Review. Reimagining and Refashioning Integral Management

The Mother came to India to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914, and today is her birth anniversary. All those, who have ignored me all these years, haven't grown intellectually. The loss is theirs, not mine. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are the only solution for the future.

I have the advantage of reading the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo along with some Western philosophy. Further, I have witnessed different phases of Indian politics during the last seventy years. Without such a varied orientation, thinking ability is bound to be handicapped.

I have been reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since the age of eight. So there was no requirement for me to read other gurus. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are absolutely unprecedented and unique. They are the one Supreme Divine. But for academic purposes, one can make comparisons.

I can request @roshendalal to guide you in this respect since she is an authority on both the thinkers.

Sri Aurobindo was born in Kolkata but West Bengal is yet to appreciate him fully. Still it's possible that people are drawn to The Mother first so that Sri Aurobindo is recognised. This is overdue and our prayers on her birthday to do the needful! Let West Bengal lead once again.

True. I think, Karmayogi's role has been phenomenal. @KarmayogiQuotes

Very few people are aware about the life of Sri Aurobindo during the years 1914 to 1920. He was writing 6 to 7 books simultaneously for publication in the Arya monthly magazine. There was no Ashram then and his pupils were a few. Historians should be interested about this period.

After shifting to Delhi in 1988, one of my first tasks was to memorise various roads radiating from the ubiquitous roundabouts from a map since taking a wrong direction means you reach elsewhere. In a similar spirit, I have been trying to show the right direction here since 2005.

After buying a flat in Indirapuram in 1998, I shifted to Ghaziabad.

Hitch your wagon to the mystic vibe of Savitri. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine entails aligning with the evolutionary intention of the descent of the Supramental consciousness leading to the Vedic objective of physical Immortality and harmony.

Gandhi is as essential for understanding the past, as Sri Aurobindo is for formulating the future. I had formed Savitri Era Party in 2007 with the strong conviction that Hindutva would collapse under its own contradictions and hypocrisy. Present turmoil over UGC is the beginning!

Just read in the news that Mohan Bhagwat says, RSS is not meant for Hindutva politics. This seems to be a good sign. Real social challenges should be the focus. That would form the root for organic politics for our young democracy, instead of an imaginary, predetermined template.

I'm yet to find any intellectual in India who I can really admire and be guided by. I will be happy if someone tells me of such a person. Nobody has read Sri Aurobindo and hence I consider all as uneducated. Having invested my life in Sri Aurobindo I have earned this distinction.

True, but I find that many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo need appropriate orientation and guidance. That's why I had started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005. Intellectual growth takes years.

Well put. Why are you underground? You can do a lot!

Savitri Era Party doesn't believe in any imaginary, glorious past of India since different kingdoms were perpetually at war with each other. It doesn't promote Sanskrit learning in school as it is too taxing without much reward. Reading Sri Aurobindo's translations is sufficient.

People are suffering from defective ontology. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave a new evolutionary ontology more than a century ago. Imbibing it is the responsibility of each person. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to disseminate this new knowledge and praxis.

Anyone can search my profile and find how I kept on alerting about Modi on different occasions. I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007, the Centenary year of Sri Aurobindo's lead in the Surat split of Congress. Thus ideology is vital in politics and popularity can come in a day.

Looks like the algorithm blockade has eased a bit, and my posts are reaching people. However, I request all to discuss the perspectives and possibilities, I present, vis-à-vis other alternatives, in their timelines, so that the theoretical aspects can be examined more rigorously.

The silence, connivance, and complicity of educated people have brought us to such a pass. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only solution for remedying the situation. Savitri Era Party has been spreading this emancipatory message despite resistance by dominant circles.

Sex is the Achilles' heel of Integral yoga

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo emphasise that the future will be different. Savitri Erans, therefore, don't put much confidence on the past. Even present arrangements like nationality or commercial blocs are suspect. Our identity as human beings is the most fundamental configuration.

Development is the new slogan and reform is the modality. For Savitri Erans, however, transformation is the mode of evolution. It doesn't depend on any single community or geographical location. New consciousness can grow anywhere in the world, in any receptive or aspiring heart.

Although, Nehruvian consensus served the basis for a broad cultural template after the British left, Charan Singh was able to articulate the concerns of the farmers with economics at the heart. His protest against Nehru then is the genesis of why Modi is the Prime Minister today.

Many here advise others to read Sri Aurobindo without reading him themselves. They don't specify which book to read or in what context. They aren't bothered about The Mother or what Auroville means. They are unaware that Sri Aurobindo wrote a long poem titled Ilion on Greek theme. 

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the minimum expected of their devotees. Savitri Era Religion is meant for securing this much without any variation or pretext of slipping into temptations of old ways.

There is another typo in the name of Sri Aurobindo. It is Sri and not Shri. He used to sign in the style Sri Aurobindo and that is his complete name. Any variation is erroneous. For us the devotees, name is mantra and spelling sacrosanct. It also proves that you haven't read him!

In many meetings and conferences, the speakers induce a sense of deficiency in the minds of those present by citing The Mother's instructions. Savitri Era Religion, on the contrary, encourages a joyful relationship with her, with love, devotion, and surrender. No yoga or sadhana!

For many solutions, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo proposed the role of soul, the spirit, the psychic being, the true self, or such other esoteric entities. From the point of view of a modern mind, these are inaccessible. Despite robust theoretical framework, results are not assured.

There shouldn't be hypocrisy. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have said is their responsibility. We needn't parrot them. Avoiding false promise is most important. Savitri Era Religion asks to worship them as the one Supreme Divine but a devotee's relationship with them is unique.

It was easy for me all these years to criticise Hindutva on the strength of Sri Aurobindo. But now Hindutva itself is undergoing severe churning due to upper castes revolt. No clarity as of now since electoral politics and RSS double-speak are involved. Still Savitri Era is safe.

Please write Sri Aurobindo, a proper noun.

x.com/i/status/20241…

You didn't believe me then!

That's not the right spirit, and we can't claim monopoly on Sri Aurobindo. As an author, JSD is very much entitled to provoke public opinion by referring to Sri Aurobindo in a tangential way. One is reminded of how Ken Wilber popularised Sri Aurobindo among the elite in the West.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo leave most things open-ended. Although The Mother has been identified as the Divine Mother in three poises Sri Aurobindo's own status hasn't been clearly enunciated. Even the concept of Ashram or Yoga is not compatible with their philosophy.

The Ashram grew from ideas in Ananda Math, Bhawani Mandir, and Deva Sangha of Chandannagar etc. It was a laboratory which has no relevance after The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's demise. Secluded and regimented life has no place in their vision of the world. 2) Yoga is not verifiable.

Leftists have been churning out PhDs in Humanities without mentioning Sri Aurobindo. Hindutva intellectuals imitated the same formula for writing books. But now a situation has arrived when there can't be any thinking without Sri Aurobindo. The next step is Savitri Era version.

Thanks. Please indicate if there is any online documentation or publication. Compiling a resource base would be beneficial for all.

I have been hinting at that weird situation when many of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's actual writings would be bypassed or overlooked. Selective quoting at present creates misleading atmosphere. But subjective interpretation will be a more dangerous zone. However, spirit matters.

Watch it if you can. @Nimai_Swain @akazlev

Democracy is an admirable notion but with the most problematic elements. Instead of an elephant choosing as in olden days people are expected to elect. But on what basis? Can it be rational? With men one can be sure to some extent. But women? The eternal Gopis? Whoa! It's rigged.

Remembering The Mother along with Sri Aurobindo is also important as she embodies that Integral spirit. Incidentally, tomorrow happens to be her Birth anniversary which is celebrated all over the world. Peter Heehs has written a wonderful biography of her.

Why there is so much of confusion within the Hindutva ecosystem? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo foresaw it long back. I started Savitri Era Religion for worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Winds of Modernity blew into India when The Asiatic Society was founded by Sir William Jones on January 15, 1784. Bengal Renaissance followed during which William Carey and Thomas Babington Macaulay played great roles. The Mother arrived from France to meet Sri Aurobindo in 1914.

Most of us here talk about politics or national and international affairs, but the relevance of spirituality is basically personal, and The Mother is an excellent guide. Sex is Achilles' heel of Integral yoga on which Dr Bijlani has tried to shed some light.

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

This provides a nuanced perspective. @satoverma x.com/i/status/20219…

Letters written by Sri Aurobindo to different disciples in the Ashram cannot be applied mutatis mutandis to everyone now that his and The Mother's direct spiritual force is absent. One cannot simply read books and claim to be practicing the Yoga correctly. Surrender is necessary.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and surrender to them under Savitri Era Religion is an indispensable aspect of their philosophy and yoga. It is an act of collaboration with aspiration of earth's consciousness for seeking Supramental consciousness.

Like the eminent historians, some people made a name as intellectuals by milking Hindutva, during the last decade. But scholarship is unsustainable without wide reading, and works of Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Indian situation. Unfortunately, they upturn the Hindutva boat!

Each sentence of Sri Aurobindo contains multiple arrows criticising received wisdom. He is establishing a new philosophy and a new orientation in thought. Deeply aware of human weaknesses and hold of the past on him, he promises the Supramental through evolutionary inevitability.

In our childhood, a prayer called Ahe dayamaya biswabihari was recited in school written by Ramakrushna Nanda. Similar prayers by Madhusudan Rao were also popular. Though Marathi and Brahmo, he is considered as the Father Of Modern Odia Poetry along with Radhanath Ray, a Bengali.

In order to herald his new philosophy Sri Aurobindo published the Arya magazine in 1914 with minimal resources. It's paradoxical that in the age of Social media and AI, communication about him and his ideology remains handicapped. It doesn't bother much his devotees or followers!

How you can pen something which was penned or rather spoken by Sri Aurobindo? By the way, The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo is now available online in 36 volumes. incarnateword.in/cwsa

It's a long journey but going through them can transform your thinking and the whole being.

Thankfully, Vivekananda is nowhere in the reckoning now. Ambedkar, pitiably, has become the rope in the current tug of war, while poor, Karpatri Maharaj is pushed to rub shoulder with Savarkar! Somehow, Sri Aurobindo remains a favoured fixture in all these permutations. Et voilà!

There was no good option for Ambedkar when he converted to Buddhism. But today Savitri Era Religion is a viable alternative anchored in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been in the job of foregrounding Sri Aurobindo and his Integral outlook based on the evolutionary schema of The Life Divine since 2005. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present.

In many instances Sri Aurobindo is referred to without any mention of The Mother. This is erroneous since they are one consciousness and represent an Integral philosophy. Sri Aurobindo's writings before their meeting in 1914 therefore should be given less weightage than of later.

My understanding of the castes is that it can't be wished away. Whether birth-based or work-based division of labour is indispensable just like separation of powers in a democracy. Varuna appears in the Veda and Zend-Avesta. Sri Aurobindo's interpretation of it resembles Brahmin.

It's really intriguing that it took half-a-century to decode this much. It may take another half-a-century for arriving at Sri Aurobindo!

With my life of seventy years on this planet, I can't claim to be aware of 7000 years of history or philosophy. Even to be informed adequately about 700 years is also a tall order. However relying on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives a balanced overview. Be Indian; be Aurobindian!

It's not without significance that Sri Aurobindo was present at the time of Independence which came on his 75th birthday. It should be remembered that each top leader had an appointed role and hence needless criticism of him is unwarranted. Some have temerity even to deride RRMR!

[Hindu Dharma is not monolithic... It is an incomprehensibly vast Banyan tree... (with) diverse modes of worship, Gurus, Sampradayas, and even Deities.] Sarva dharma sama bhava is contested but steamrolling different mystic streams under an overarching brand is considered Kosher!

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo encourage new thinking and modern attitude. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion entails seeking their grace for descent of the Supramental consciousness. No castes or customs. No mythology or rituals. No intermediaries.

Sri Aurobindo has created a new dictionary of Sanskrit in the course of his writing The Secret of the Veda. He has also many other theories with regard to language and interpretation. Being acquainted with them can provide a better understanding of traditional culture and wisdom.

Complete silence of BJP supporters on any negative aspect of the Govt. sends shivers down the spine. This doesn't look like democracy and that too in the time of social media and AI. No criticism of the party even. Mythological model of Monarchy seems to hold sway. Hindu Rashtra!

That was in some context. Perhaps UGC or a bit prior to that. And it seems to be silenced already. Yet I will be happy if there is legitimate critique on broad parameters.

That's an old complain aired by a few known hawks. But to his credit, Modi has functioned  all along as UPA-3, ideologically. However, there have been major issues on democracy front.

Integral yoga is an interim name

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Theory format savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/02/sri-au

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

https://x.com/i/status/2020945979218985245

Sri Aurobindo has written thousands of letters but unfortunately the persons to whom they were written and their questions remain unpublished. This has robbed his role of humanisising and emotional elements. A great deal of sociological and historical documents are in cold store.

Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of any mythology or rituals. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, and surrender to them is the task for collaborating with evolution for descent of higher consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, officially came into being in 1926 and this is its Centenary year. The message that Sri Aurobindo is the greatest thinker of the country has reached everyone now. The young generation should examine how much his legacy is relevant for the future.

The GC debate is unfolding gradually which is extremely amusing for Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party. Amazing to see how enlightened minds are immediately captured by identitarian sentiments. So how fair it is to expect those holding Constitutional posts to be above it?

Spirituality is nothing new and yoga in any abstract sense is futile. What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo add to it is surrender to them and seeking their grace. Savitri Era Religion is the right condition for fostering this emotion which also amounts to collaboration with evolution.

Savitri Era Party has been campaigning for abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises is the only way for social harmony.

Sri Aurobindo is not amenable to any kind of synthesis. He has built a complete schema which is inevitable through evolution. Reading him carefully is necessary.

You are right. Their legacy is subversive of Hindutva or for that matter all religions. I am writing this since 2005. But the evolutionary trajectory they have foreseen will touch all.

It's human nature. People in UP used to vote for Congress. Then shifted to Charan Singh, then Mulayam, then Mayawati, Now Yogi. Is their any logic?

You can become one.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo knew that the world was not ready. They did everything and created everything for launching a new religion but gave it an interim name: Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion simply formalises that arrangement by worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.

You are very much correct, and I have practically said the same thing. But only their written words are not enough. How they behaved, their way of interaction with the disciples, various celebrations in the Ashram, etc. have to be taken into account for understanding in totality.

I don't consider top intellectuals properly educated as they haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books. But longtime devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo espousing Hindutva ideology is tarnishing his image. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are trying to expose such deviance.

Epical characters are worshipped in Hinduism which is considered superior to other major religions by Hindutva votaries. Colonialism and evangelism contribute to this perceived antipathy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine in Savitri Era Religion.

It's necessary to analyse why what you have recommended is not happening. That means they are neither easy nor possible since there are other compulsions. To disregard those is wishful thinking. Right diagnosis is the first step. So spelling out inherent infirmities is important.

Savitri Era Religion has been resisting mythology and rituals on the basis of the symbolic interpretation of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. Besides, worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises, is far more satisfying.

One may draw inspiration either from Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) or Michael Polanyi (1891–1976), Pierre Klossowski (1905–2001) or Leszek Kołakowski (1927–2009), Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya (1918–1993) or Debi Prasad Chattopadhyaya (1933–2022), but the ultimate source is Sri Aurobindo.

Fiction is meant to be disruptive and cathartic.

Fiction and all creative art are polyphonic or speak different voices. It's a training ground for the human mind. He is able to experience multiple things vicariously beyond his immediate environment or memory. Further, it has got healing qualities through depressing portrayals.

Your review of the movie is reductionist. You are highlighting only one aspect, a part of the plot. Further, you are connecting it to a dominant political ideology. You are fully entitled to it. My point is to look at it through the lens of art and fiction. Art deserves respect.

You say that deliberate propaganda does not deserve respect. But I disagree. All kinds of opinion and propaganda form a garland for our democracy. Each voice has its role.

https://x.com/i/status/2022312846412189790

Many have protested against the hegemony of the Veda during the last one thousand years. Some of them are part of the Bhakti movement. Sri Aurobindo restored the original significance of the Veda that is pivotal to Savitri Era Religion. It's also crucial to understand the castes.

Dharmendra Pradhan knows Sri Aurobindo, and is instrumental in incorporating the principles of Integral Education in NEP. He is from Odisha and is highly educated. Right now, if he is defending some emancipatory aspects of policy proposals, then Savitri Era Party extends support.

Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. It not only foils the attempt of secularising Integral yoga but also rescues Sri Aurobindo from being harnessed by Hindutva for weaponising Nationalism on his anvil. But Vedic foundation is vital.

Being educated in the Science stream, many Hindutva exponents express a disdainful attitude towards Humanities. Their feeling condescendingly towards the West also prevents them from imbibing the foundations of Modern thought. Sri Aurobindo is an excellent bridge in this context.

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo remains the only hope savitriera.blogspot.com/2026/01/sri-au

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra, Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

It's heartening to notice many Hindutva stalwarts coming around to the same view about Modi that I have been harping on since 2012. This country will develop when educated people will learn to tell the right thing. However Modi being accused of secularism is certainly his credit.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't endorse Integral yoga in the absence of verifiable empirical evidences about its result. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine therefore is the safest course. Establishing a direct relationship with them depends on devotees.

I can't figure out today if it's Colonialism 2.0 or a step towards the #WorldUnion as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams Manifesto, 1947. Still something on this scale never happened before. Auroville, in this scenario can have a greater role. My prayers to The Mother!

Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, who are always present as the one Supreme Divine, is the foundational principle of Savitri Era Religion. It's free from mythology, rituals, or system of practice. Anyone can join voluntarily without any intermediary or initiation ceremony.

Many religions fail to reconcile a strict bifurcation between the Divine and the mundane but Savitri Era Religion is fortunate in this respect. Everything including the evil or the vain is Divine and the task is to sense that infallible intention emanating from the All beautiful.

Ontology is an unfamiliar word for most but it is the very basis of each one's worldview. It's normal now to imbibe it from various sources like science, religion, culture, history, mythology, movies, or literature. Even politics drives a certain orientation. Savitri Era is best.

Bankim's Anandamath, Bhawani Mandir, Prabartak Sangha, Chandannagar, Ashram at Puducherry, and Auroville are part of Sri Aurobindo's life and vision. His dream of #WorldUnion too can be said to be a stepping stone towards the Life Divine or Spiritual Age. Ashram was born in 1926.

Veda and Upanishads were written thousands of years ago. Mahabharata and Gita too are ancient texts. But their wisdom and ethics haven't percolated to human behaviour. Sri Aurobindo wrote many tomes for explaining these principles but human nature is incapable of reflecting them.

The first chapter of The Secret of the Veda is very interesting. This book is the most original contribution of Sri Aurobindo which transforms Indian thought and tradition.

incarnateword.in/cwsa/15/the-pr

I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 when I was fifty. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother never conceived a new religion but it grew out of my own study and research. Thus it's necessary to piece together and change their varied writings for creating a coherent ontological framework.

Without subscribing to the overarching principle of unity and universality taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, harmony cannot be achieved. It's not for nothing that Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine. Disregarding its evolutionary rationale will cost us heavily as a nation.

Once upon a time, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings were the only source for psychological modulation and a spiritual orientation. These days, one is bombarded with so much of coverage and videos on these aspects that the glut can be said to be causing Counselling pollution!

Savitri Era Party (2007) has been campaigning for abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will ensure equality and justice among people on the basis of the intrinsic unity of all human beings.

Initially, one doesn't understand Sri Aurobindo. Then, one begins to understand him, and a sense of certainty sets in. Later, when one covers more texts, it comes to the fore that #SriAurobindo is not certain on anything. He is always tentative and leaves things to possibilities.

We must never forget how valiantly Sri Aurobindo put on record his opposition to Shankara and Sayana to build the foundations of a new path. If we don't recognise that newness and make it a handmaiden of mythology and rituals, then all talk of descent of Supramental is fruitless.

The basic concept of Ashram that The Mother had in mind was that if ordinary material requirements of people were arranged for then they will be free to pursue spirituality. Democracy too seeks to keep the people free from the worries of security, civic facilities, and dominance.

Sri Aurobindo privileges individual freedom which is also the cornerstone of Indian Constitution. All kinds of group-formation leads to exploitation and hence is subversive of the Constitution. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party stress on the individual's will and choice.

A basic feature of spirituality is to forget about personal circumstances. Or rather, trying to rise over personal identity and its peculiarities. Politics too needs this. Taking decisions for the nation as a whole regardless of the interests of own party or ideology is the task.

Hindutva hasn't been able to create a standard syllabus in Political science for Undergraduate students. The UGC episode exposed how their intellectuals are confused. Savitri Era Party has been disseminating the #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo broadcast on August 14, 1947.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo haven't given any time-frame for the changes they predicted. Yet a lot many is happening on the political front indicating a churning. The Nehruvian template is unrecognisable now post hegemony of Hindutva and Backward castes that are anti-evolutionary.

Hindutva exponents take pleasure in denouncing the Communists and resort to mythology for explaining any social phenomenon. But @TheJaggi has enumerated several measures in @SwarajyaMag which are Socialist in nature. However, real solution is to follow The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Gandhi too didn't realise that his going on fast was coercion and violence on others.

[प्यार वो होता है जब कोई नायिका के कुत्ते से भी प्यार करता है।]

Feeble voices are emitting from various corners for throwing out the castes. Certainly, a good thing; but how to go about it? No modality is being suggested. Embracing Savitri Era Religion, by worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, is the only solution.

GoogleAI informs that Shashi Tharoor in his recent book on Sree Narayana Guru has compared some of his facets to that of Sri Aurobindo, Vivekananda, Ambedkar, and Gandhi. While his effort is laudable as a native of Kerala, how far it does justice to Sri Aurobindo is a moot point.

The Mother: A Life of Sri Aurobindo's Spiritual Collaborator by Peter Heehs is the most authentic documentation of a significant period of history which is not available elsewhere. Important to note that the #SriAurobindo we know today is because of her.

I have seen diverse social and political situations during the last seventy years. Being influenced by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy has saved me from being misguided by harmful ideologies. As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been canvassing for it.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises forms a basic task for all. Savitri Era Religion is spreading this message since 2006 the validity of which can be understood by applying the intellect to a small extent.

You may not learn Vedic Sanskrit but reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo can give you insights on what its terms really mean.

The contributions of Sir William Jones, William Carey, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and Thomas Babington Macaulay are immense for building modern India. What they had started remains unfinished as UGC episode shows. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo under Savitri Era Religion is key.

Religion, philosophy, and science haven't been able to explain the mystery of the world. Each of us acquires a certain conception of life from multiple sources which goes on modifying as we grow. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the best avenue.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo doesn't involve any ritual or routine. Savitri Era Religion is free from all institutional influences and stipulations. Devotees are at liberty to modulate their mentality for building own unique relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.

Gandhi's Hey Ram is as problematic as the precise location of Ram's birth. It's a sad commentary on how modernity was snatched away from the hands of the people of India. Distortion of facts and history has become so normal that no one bothers now as to what is the actual truth.

It specifies seven "actual" standpoints or perspectives.

My dinner is waiting. Hunger refuses to be consigned to the Fourth heavens!

Assumptions about Sri Aurobindo's metaphysical framework seems to be flawed. The booklet The Mother modifies the neat scheme of The Life Divine by introducing the religious element of grace of The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo has examined in detail all these schools of thought and pointed out their insufficiency. His final advice is to worship The Mother and surrender to her.

In Savitri Era Religion devotees worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises. It has no castes or customs. No rituals or routine. Anyone can join voluntarily without any intermediary institution or initiation ceremony.

Expecting that the problems of the country will be solved by this political party or that is in vain. It is only by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo that the evolutionary process can be accelerated. Savitri Era Religion holds the right recipe for creating a casteless society.

I have been writing about Savitri Era Religion for the last twenty years without the support of anyone else. It has grown out of my personal circumstances and study. My deepest gratitude to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for giving me this opportunity and necessary material facility.

I belong to the fading generation. You are the future!

Savitri Era Party has been demanding abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution of India. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo entails a spirit of universality and fraternity, irrespective of all distinctions, as per the #FiveDreams.

Availability of inexhaustible magnitude of knowledge on the web, unfortunately, hasn't produced commensurate receptivity or openness. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), therefore, has been proclaiming the supremacy of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and allied intellectual attunement.

Religion enjoins to follow tradition and democracy respects it. But in a conflictual situation, the legal existence through the Constitution takes precedence. Constitution provides freedom to profess any religion but subject to the restriction of conforming to its overall spirit.

Most religions are not Constitution-ready. They have many provisions and practices that are discriminatory as well as anti-democratic. Savitri Era Religion (2006), owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is the first religion designed for a modern or rational environment.

Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Theory format, and hence they shouldn't be perceived as revealed or self-evident truth. Treating the Divine as a given, and beyond the scope of argument, is his advantage. In such a framework, religion ceases to be a separate domain and imbricates life.

What William Carey (1761–1834) achieved in North, Robert Caldwell (1814–1891) accomplished in South. The intellectual fermentation that followed was overwhelming the rumblings of which are heard even today. However Sri Aurobindo is as relevant to his previous century as his next.

Sri Aurobindo explains that Ananda is the same as Ananta. That means endlessness, deathlessness, or infinite. Thus, confusing Ananda with pleasurable religious experiences is erroneous. The Mother too is much more strict on the nature of music. Group dynamics can render it worse.

Sri Aurobindo's writings began coming out in Arya magazine on August 15, 1914. Anyone reading them will be transformed in a significant manner. He can not go back to the old ways of thinking. Hindutva isn't allowing people to partake of this new knowledge. incarnateword.in/cwsa

Ajit Pawar was taken away in a second. No person howsoever powerful can stay where he is for even a minute more than what's designed by the evolution. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most appropriate way of collaborating with its intention.

I don't recommend spirituality since I hardly have any experience in it, but reading the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo itself can be felt as spirituality and a right intellectual exercise. Locating Sri Aurobindo in the history of Western thought too is highly edifying.

Different parties are promoting different icons but have failed in solving the problems of the country. Savitri Era Party, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, will bring radical changes in accordance with their evolutionary and revolutionary vision as per #FiveDreams.

People have forgotten about Govindacharya who replicated the V.P. Singh formula in BJP and it won elections in many States. So, if another Mondal is guiding the party now, there is nothing to be surprised. Democracy is precariously perched on demography and temple has lost shine!

Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and having lived in different environments has given me unique experiences. Therefore, I feel that yoga or spirituality is not possible in modern life. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is more logical for surrender and collaboration.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings and conversations extend from 1893 to 1973 involving over seventy volumes. Besides there are reminiscences of the devotees. Acquiring a grasp on this vast literature isn't easy for anyone. Consequently interpreting their project turns flawed.

The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo (36 volumes), Collected Works of The Mother (20 volumes), and Mother's Agenda (13 volumes) constitute the greatest online open University of the world.

Devotees connected with various Centres become addicted to an annual calendar of special events and celebrations. But each individual has his own unique way of approaching The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and hence Savitri Era Religion emphasises freedom from routine and fixed rituals.

Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo leave most things open-ended. Although The Mother has been identified as the Divine Mother in three poises Sri Aurobindo's own status hasn't been clearly enunciated. Even the concept of Ashram or Yoga is not compatible with their philosophy.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written at many places about how to get rid of ego so that higher influence or inspiration is received. It is basically surrender to the Divine. However, this comes in handy for institution-heads for continuing their rule without facing any criticism.
