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.

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.
