Persecuting an intellectual is unusual for a modern environment. Discourse is the foundation of human civilisation, and each one is entitled to his opinion. Savitri Era Party believes that everyone is evolving and therefore disabusing them or weaning them away should be the task.
In any kind of discussion, philosophical or secular, a concept of god lurks as a presupposition. Usually, it's the dominant religion of the land. Be it a doctor, a judge, or a police, none is free from its influence. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives the right orientation.
Right now, I am following over one thousand handles, but most of them spend time with current affairs. Inclination towards philosophy is almost nonexistent. Prejudice against the West and the Left seems to be a dominant reason. But consulting Sri Aurobindo can remedy this malady.
My namesake, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta is again trying to convince the Supreme Court today that religious feelings of even one person is beyond the purview of judicial scrutiny. Let's hope that his arguments are fruitful so that Savitri Era Religion is accorded legal status.
Many still prefer the coinage Sri Aurobindonian by Amal Kiran, although Sri Aurobindian is more handy and accurate. Examples like Adornian, relating to Theodor Adorno or Vichean, relating to Giambattista Vico prove the point. Further, writing The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is better.
As Founder of Savitri Era Religion (2006), let me clarify that, conceiving The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine has been formulated by me without any explicit backing from their philosophy. It has the advantage of not being dependent on any other text or religion.
One may or may not choose to be religious, but religion never leaves him. It is always there within and without. It can be perceived as aesthetic experience or even professional satisfaction. Ambition itself is a sign of rising high in consciousness or aspiration for Immortality.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry and Auroville feature prominently in South India tourist circuit, as a result of which dedicated engagement with Sri Aurobindo's philosophy rarely happens. Besides, public intellectuals and media blacking him out ensures undermining his relevance.
Analogical arguments are underway in the Supreme Court for anulling the S.P. Mittal, 1982 verdict of defining a religion, apropos of Sabarimala Review.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their grace is the only thing we are capable of. Rest is their concern. All that is happening is as per their wish. Some may appear as good while others not. But the evolutionary intention is infallible.
Hindutva block was in opposition for too long but has been in power for quite some time now. But their approach towards criticism hasn't changed. Accepting that criticism is a valid activity in a multi-party democracy is difficult for them. Reminds us of Pravda in erstwhile USSR.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have left behind a vast amount of philosophical writings which are yet to be a part of general education. It's only through self-effort that one may benefit from them. They are available online along with a lot of other resources incarnateword.in/cwsa
Many people fulminate against worshipping human gods although they are comfortable with mythological or fictional ones with astounding narratives and superstitions. Savitri Era Religion seeks to usher in a rational environment by worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as supreme.
Although devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo abound in other platforms, their number here is almost negligible. It indicates the fiercely competitive and largely cerebral nature of discourse here. If old religions are still doing propaganda, why shouldn't Savitri Era Religion?
A galaxy of top writers, poets, and political leaders in Odisha in the 1960s had inspired us deep into the evolutionary philosophy and prophecy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Their relevance is intact today although the overall intellectual scenario is gigantically more confusing.
The Party decides and the Govt implements. The party, obviously, uses multiple internal forums for building consensus over contentious matters or innovative measures. Transparency leads to public debates and opposition responses. RSS and BJP seem to be oblivious of such niceties.
More than a century ago, Robert Michels, in his book Political Parties (1911), had formulated the iron law of oligarchy to show how organisations degenerate. Can hardly be disputed but Savitri Era Party believes that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can bring in a sea-change.
To whomever it may concern: This is to announce the happy news that my younger daughter has just been appointed as an Assistant Professor, Philosophy in St. Stephen's College, Delhi where she has been teaching for the last fourteen years on an ad-hoc basis.
As a coincidence, Prof. Susan Elias, a computer scientist, has been appointed as the 14th principal of St. Stephen's College, Delhi. She will be the first woman in such a position in the 145-year history of the College, known for its excellence in humanities and the liberal arts.
As expected, the appointment of the Principal has run into rough weather, with Delhi University throwing a spanner. My daughter's joining as Assistant Professor, similarly, has also been put under a stay by the Delhi High Court today. Let's hope, justice is done to all concerned!
My posts have negligible reach, but they form a record for the future. The way commenting on Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is a free for all, the situation will exacerbate in the times to come. Then, AI will come to the rescue for setting the records straight. Right info is power.
Indians weren't expected to develop political consciousness before Independence. Some rebelliousness had developed during Bengal division. Congress politics was based on selflessness and sacrifice for the truth. But now politics has become on-payment basis in the corporate style.
It would be more true to say that industrialists partly own political parties. Govts accordingly run for furthering corporate interests. Nothing wrong. After all it's all geared for the economy of the country. But things are much deeper which an ordinary person like me won't know.
Tamil Nadu electing a new Chief Minister is an alarm bell for Indian democracy. Media and technology have acquired immense power for subverting democracy. Manipulating minds has become the most potent formula. Savitri Era Party (2007) is confident that this trend can be reversed.
Since everyone is midway, no one can be an expert on life. Further, everyone is a patient and trying to cope. Books tell of the past and hence may not help. As each one is unique, the problem he faces is also unique. So, the solution is to surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Being born and brought up in a village in Odisha, I am well aware of the huge progress that has taken place during the last seventy years. Thus blaming some ideology or political leader is wrong. The psychology of the people and the mythological atmosphere has more to do with it.
Alok Pandey wrote it beautifully.

If that's the approach, then one doesn't regret for anything.
