Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, under the Savitri Era Religion, without any mythology or rituals enables one to build an independent relationship with them, without being affected by various popular notions or misconceptions floating around them.
Democracy should foster social harmony, and it is incumbent upon the political parties to facilitate this. But creating vote-banks around regions, religions, castes, and languages is causing perpetual animosity. Savitri Era Party, inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, can heal.
Ethical standards may be more or less uniform but the practice of it fluctuates furiously according to place, time, & person. Assuming that human longings and expectations conform to a strict template amounts to nothing more than what a caricature captures or groping in the dark.
How to derive the best from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo? In The Secret of the Veda Sri Aurobindo explains the symbolic qualities of various Deities. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15 In The Spiritual Significance of Flowers The Mother undertakes an identical venture.
Location and hormones concoct emotions supplying the raw material for human life. The other is the crucial factor in all these goings on. Sri Aurobindo explains the whole exercise under Exclusive Concentration. Thus, while our intrinsic powers are panoptic, life is kaleidoscopic.
Notion of State needs to be widened. Any institution or organisation exerting influence on a large section of people should be considered as a part of the State. Ruling people psychologically should also be treated as similar to ruling politically and should share responsibility.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo did their best to spread their teachings. But the emphasis of people in the current century has been on different lines. That doesn't mean that their words are losing relevance. Rather it has become all the more necessary for diffusing their philosophy.
Nine-day hearings before nine-judge bench on Sabarimala issue exposes the futility of splitting legal hairs. Parliament should discuss matters of vital importance for framing appropriate policies, instead of forcing the courts to debate over commas and semicolons in Constitution.
Dharma of democracy can be conceived succinctly with sincerity of purpose. Providing a Level playing field is the first requirement. Then, defusing Information asymmetry forms a crucial component. Next, thwarting Unfair advantage is a big task. Lastly, foiling Media manipulation.
The plant kingdom was almost self-sufficient. Still the animals came and man looks like a usurper. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been presiding over this evolutionary march. They have assured a sublime destiny and a new race backed by their infinite love, compassion, and grace.
Apart from management of life and philosophy, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide comprehensive guidance on politics, education, and the arts. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion, however, entitles one to receive their love, compassion, and grace.
Modi and Mamata have enjoyed power for too long which is corroding our democracy. Both need to be shown the door. All talk of ideology is undiluted deception. Intellectuals in this country have the responsibility to understand the gravity of the situation and support Savitri Era.
Nationalism ensues from being a part of a nation, but surprisingly many living in India are hounded as foreigners while citizens of other countries are treated as super-Indians. There should be clarity on this and living should be accorded priority than long-distance nationalism.
Before the elections, they were on overdrive that BJP is capturing power. Now the tone indicates that TMC would romp home smoothly. There was no doubt on that score but how invoking Bankim or Sri Aurobindo et al can be a mirror of the present situation is difficult to understand.
Discussing about human condition and affairs of the world vis-à-vis The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, in an abstract way is quite common. But I started the Savitri Era Party with the tangible aim of entering active politics in 2007. High time to understand its relevance for the future.
Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings accurately necessitates an Archimedean point. If you are a supporter of any political party, then be sure that you are unable to assimilate them properly. Only Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party provide that opportunity.
I have been tending Savitri Era bouquet of Blogs since 2005 which has helped me to keep myself abreast of a variety of things. At 70 I am providing a unique set of perspectives based on my research on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without being Ashram-centric savitriera.blogspot.com
Even Sri Aurobindo concedes that the world is nothing but Lila! When it comes to the Psychic Being's choice, it's absolutely arbitrary or whimsical. It may choose to enact the role of a prince or a pauper. Whoa! Why then any search for rationality if clowns are to run the Circus?
Each voter counts at the election time, but democracy is not about them all. Not even our elected representatives. Intellectuals hold the key, like the "green-rob'd senators" for designing and preserving the democracy. Most are paid or planted; still we must look for genuineness.
Like all Indian languages English also is getting corrupted. Words from Management, Business, Science, and Tech are being freely used robbing away the classical feel. Smart expressions are preferred for signalling erudition. Sri Aurobindo wrote in English. Let he be the standard.
I have been warning from time to time not to be very ambitious about spiritual experience or self-realisation after reading one or two books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It happens with many in the young age in oder to garner self-esteem. Not to despise intellect is also vital.
