The Mother & Sri Aurobindo haven't given us any practical means for effecting some change sans sincerity and surrender. However I keep on employing and ploughing my puny brain on this score. The UGC/GC issue, I assume, will be a big trigger for foregrounding Savitri Era Religion.
Remembering The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their infinite love and compassion is the most important aspect. They didn't expect anything except transformation of the human condition and reclaiming Immortality. They also amply clarified that they don't expect much from human beings.
Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be confined to revolutionary phase nor yoga and spirituality. Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in their myriad dimensions is a challenge for the modern generation. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the easiest way to access their grace.
India had seen Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, but Colonialism brought Christianity and Western thought. Still something was wanting. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo met each other for the first time in Puducherry on March 29, 1914. New knowledge flowed providing evolutionary stimulus.
India is perceived to be under threat due to the ongoing war but it's difficult to evaluate what is good or bad for India now. I have been predicting a scenario of granting Sovereignty to the States under a loose Federation in line with the #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo.
Savitri Era Religion is a demat religion. While food and other material objects are offered to the deities as part of worship in many traditional forms of religion, the work or action is offered to The Mother as part of surrender. Sri Aurobindo rescued the Veda from dumb rituals.
It's impossible to understand the speciality of Sri Aurobindo without reading any of his books. Videos do provide an overview but a few months of dedicated reading is essential. Holding a book is also important as online resources don't do justice to the weight of his vocabulary.
A preliminary understanding of the philosophy of evolution as explained by Schelling, Hegel, Bergson, Nietzsche, Spencer, and Whitehead is essential for right appreciation of Sri Aurobindo's epochal contribution. Teilhard de Chardin and Samuel Alexander also come under this club.
Living in an unusually large country like India entails being exposed to a huge number of crime-based news on a daily basis. These reported cases are only a fraction of what actually takes place. Personal reaction tends to be an indifference a la Hannah Arendt's banality of evil!
The UGC-GC debate is going to analyse all superficial assumptions relating to Hindutva. Hypocrisy on vote-bank politics can't provide answers to ontological questions embedded in social organisations. No Western theory can unravel this mystery except Sri Aurobindo's Mitra-Varuna.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the only hope for the future. No amount of ethical posturing can guarantee peace and harmony. Savitri Era Religion is the safest avenue for surrender to them and seeking their grace. That is our best collaboration with evolution for Supramental age.
I have been spreading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's message since 2005 but obviously the resistance is enormous. All dominant religions and digital platforms try to muzzle my voice. Hindutva adherents don't find any virtue in my posts. Sri Aurobindo's devotees also are against me.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and hence restricting them to their limited circumstances of Ashram can be highly misleading. What they said or did have relevance as Lila but the larger purpose for which they were busy all the time shouldn't be lost sight of.
As people are swayed by flourishing narratives, I have been trying to create certain propositions by repeating them. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against new religion but I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006 with the underlying principle that they are the one Supreme Divine.
Admirers, devotees, and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are requested to consider coming under the fold of Savitri Era Religion so that their children don't drift away. This legal and sociological aspect is as important as its political use of numbers game in a democracy.
From my experience of a staggering sixty plus years with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings I highlight the utilitarian aspects more than the so called spiritual side. Foremost is the intellectual growth along with poetic sensibility. Right view of history is also a big gain.
Each person is a prisoner of his circumstances. Hence applying the generalised, self-management lessons of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can seem to be fault-finding. But the real trick is surrender instead of any sense of guilt. Savitri Era Religion facilitates seeking their grace.
Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo prod for aspiring for the impossible. What is mystical for others is often an everyday affair for their followers. Higher levels of consciousness are talked about in a matter-of-fact manner. Such ontological internalisation has an advantage.
Most people instinctively associate The Mother & Sri Aurobindo with Auroville or the Ashram in Puducherry. Savitri Era Religion (2006) however affirms that anyone anywhere can worship them as the one Supreme Divine and seek their grace without any mediating person or institution.
Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals. Further, it doesn't have any connection with other religions or philosophies. Devotees are requested to read The Mother & Sri Aurobindo wherever they have written Divine, so that there is no abstract or secular connotation.
Instead of expressing doubts about any aspect of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on this platform, all are requested to check with Google search which provides excellent overview on any prompt. I have been posting them on my family of blogs for ready reference.

Repeating again that I am yet to find someone who I can respect for right intellectual alignment. There are authors and experts but no real knowledge seeker. There are celebrities and ideologues but they are partisan and myopic. Not being able to appreciate Sri Aurobindo is inept.

It's GoogleAI generated. Just a historical juxtaposition without any assessment of their personalities. But your impression of Chaitanya is also equally liable to be contested!
I hold a slightly different perception on the matter. x.com/i/status/16842…
Very difficult to verify or certify what is true. Always there are multiple versions and the problem is being compounded due to social media. However, we can agree that both of them, through their activism, brought about some kind of democratisation in religion. That's valuable.
I don't subscribe to the concept of Avatar. x.com/i/status/19983…
As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), I have accepted The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. So, I don't have to bother about other things. This is an unprecedented ontology.
I haven't said Divine incarnate or Avatar.
Fine, as you deem fit. By the way, are you aware of Sri Aurobindo's appraisal of Luther in The Human Cycle?
