Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

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has written thousands of letters but unfortunately the persons to whom they were written and their questions remain unpublished.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 A great deal of sociological and historical documents are in cold store.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.

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.
