Democracy is a great concept but doesn't account for dynamics of human nature adequately. In Monarchy, corruption was confined to the ruling family and their associates, but in democracy no citizen can be free of corruption. Supporting some party involves intellectual dishonesty.
Instead of aligning The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too much, to either developmental or sustainability goals, it's possible to worship them as the one Supreme Divine presiding over evolutionary march. Keeping them out of current geopolitical calculations similarly seems appropriate.
I have been consistently saying that Hindutva is anti-evolutionary despite empowering a large section of people through its muscular exhortings. Lack of any coherent Theory and belief in imaginary past glory is the primary complain. Secondly, harnessing it for votes is unethical.
Marxist view of perceiving reality was more or less simple or stable to which many more lenses like psychoanalytic, phenomenology, structuralism, and semiotics were added during the last century. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, too, have contributed significantly to this melting pot.
Savitri Era Party (2007), drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, provides an alternative liberal ideology in the democratic arena of India. Without mythology or rituals, Savitri Era Religion (2006), similarly, is a rational and coherent religion for the modern mind.
Knowledge and ideology rule and The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have chosen India to show direction to the world. By establishing Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005, I have been spreading their Integral view through which numerous people have benefitted. selforum.blogspot.com
I have been advising against comparing Sri Aurobindo with his contemporaries or famous gurus. Similarly, blending The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings with any other philosophy is infructuous. Even, Integral yoga is incomplete without worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine.
Just posted the most blasphemous statement that, Even Integral yoga is incomplete. It's simply unimaginable how I have fallen to such a low! Yet it wouldn't have been possible without the immeasurable grace of The Mother. If it's utter deviance on my part, then also it's for her.
Still not a right representation of Sri Aurobindo's viewpoint since his mature writings appear in a monthly magazine called Arya published from August 15, 1914. The Human Cycle deals with his socio-political ideas. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25
There are many admirers and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but no one has worked in the field of politics at the national level. Indian People’s Congress was formed under the leadership of Shreepal Singh @singh_shreepal in 1993 with such a purpose
After voluntary retirement in 2000, intellectual work and Internet have provided me a great getaway from ordinary life. The optimistic outlook of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo injects momentum in this exercise. Disseminating an objective and honest perspective is a big satisfaction.
He writes well and hence his books sell in plenty. But what about content and context? Shouldn't they deserve a greater degree of appraisal? Books by Sri Aurobindo are difficult to read and understand. It takes a lot of effort to reconcile his ideas. Still, it's highly rewarding.
Provision of Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the Constitution was an inbuilt trigger for implosion. Rise of Hindutva and the nebulous slogan of Hindu Rashtra exploded the Constitution from outside. It's an anarchic atmosphere at present as a deceptive theatre of democracy goes on.
There prevails a misconception that reading Sri Aurobindo's books is an invitation for practice of yoga and spirituality. It's not so. His major works deal with philosophy where he explains diverse facets of the world with clarity. Understanding these is a huge intellectual leap.
Studying Education as a part of my BSc,BEd course was useful but I found them quite shallow in comparison with what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo offered. As a teacher in my own village school these theoretical aspects were of little use as syllabus and examinations ruled the roost.

As a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo it's my responsibility to be true to their ideals and hence the role of a right narrative is preeminent. In this context worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is fundamental which leads to Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remain largely unknown despite their immense contributions. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, under Savitri Era Religion, is an excellent avenue for seeking their grace and collaboration with evolution for descent of Supramental consciousness.
Monarchy may be considered as conforming to human nature, while democracy is something artificial and imposed. Like all normative tasks, democracy fails to be successful. Yet, going by Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary scheme of things, democracy is likely to reform and refine itself.
Capitalism, like Monarchy, is close to human nature while Modernity is something aspirational. So when Fukuyama solemnised the marriage of democracy and capitalism it was a travesty of truth. It reminds of the proverb that All that glitters is not gold. Gold can be found in Veda.
Savitri Era Religion owes its allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Apart from Vedic foundations, it is indebted to the Cosmic Movement of Max Théon, inspired by a stream of Jewish Kaballah.
Many aren't aware that the last six chapters of The Life Divine were added when it was published as a book for the first time in 1940. These can be said to be a different book in the sense that a clear roadmap was drawn by Sri Aurobindo in accordance with his evolutionary vision.
