I studied Science in college but had an abiding interest in the Humanities. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo too kept it aflame. From Cold War through Berlin Wall to 9/11 and Iran today, it has been a long journey. A Brief History of Time (1988) and The End of History (1992) are passé.
Savitri Era Religion encourages worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. They preside over the evolutionary march towards Supramental descent and Vedic Immortality.
Different organisations are running wellness camps, cultural programmes, etc. in the name of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but they shouldn't be taken, strictly, as a part of their teachings. Commercial and utilitarian aspects always run the risk of being hijacked by adverse forces.
Sri Aurobindo tells different things in different books. They are also addressed to different classes of people. Reconciling these therefore is not easy without deep study. Further, his approach in poetry is altogether different. So, those peddling quotations need to be cautious.
Auroville had been taken over by Govt due to some exigency which no longer exists. All are requested to put up a demand before the Govt to return Auroville back to the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in terms of the dissenting judgement of Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy, 1982.
Thanks to the Bengal elections, Sri Aurobindo was being remembered frequently on this platform in different contexts. Now, that would be over. But the real task is to take him more seriously, and realise, why he gets acknowledged as the greatest philosopher and poet of the world.
Many political parties in India can trace their origin to Sri Aurobindo. Some others have close ideological association. The concept of an Ashram seems to be alien to politics but it is not, since an ideal model of collective living has been at the centre of all Utopian thinking.
There was no Internet then
Not many books to read either
So they worked with stone
Created sculptures
And built temples and forts.
I don't understand
What's so great about this
As so many go gaga over it
There have been many forms
Of man's creativity
Now it's chiselling with 280.

Sri Aurobindo is often clubbed with other great men from Bengal but his work along with The Mother is of a different tenor. At intellectual level, The Life Divine and Savitri by far are unparalleled. But at spiritual plane, transformation of physical consciousness was pioneering.
While in many respects some sections have imbibed things ultramodern or even postmodern, basic Modernity is still struggling to get established in our country. Some political parties are in the forefront for espousing modern values but others are trying to hinder. Resolve needed.
Local Centres have many publications which don't reach a wider audience. Sri Aurobindo and Hooghly and Smriti Tirtha document his brief stay in Bengal. Shraddha journal is a gem. Overman Foundation similarly has erected a formidable backlist over the years overmanfoundation.org/our-publicatio…
RSS is trying to reform itself and refurbish its image abroad. While its record of providing an alternative worldview than Congress during the last 100 years is laudable its current fascination for dubious Savarkar or Ambedkar is flawed. Following Sri Aurobindo is the right path.
The tragic trajectory of Janata Party being formed by the merger of a dozen parties and then splintering into as many streams is well-known. Whether apparent or not the Hindutva bandwagon is undergoing a similar fissiparous tendency on account of internal ideological differences.
Success stories are appreciated by all, but the real success lies in the right navigation of life itself. Instead of narcissistic self-approval, consulting The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best option. Many are against using superlatives but they are indispensable for right way.

Untouchability and Castes system are offshoots of menial work. Despite technological developments, social hierarchy on this basis is very much prevalent. The Mother introduced a new paradigm in Sri Aurobindo Ashram. How far can it be internalised by Modernity remains a challenge.
Savitri Era Religion (2006) has been in existence for two decades, in which worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the cardinal principle. Free of any Mythology or rituals, it glides with love, loyalty, gratitude, devotion, and surrender towards them.
Savitri Era Party (2007) continues to oppose Hindutva and the theatrical functioning style of Prime Minister Modi. It is also against all other parties for different reasons. It supports abolition of reservations so that a genuine egalitarian atmosphere takes root in the country.
Democracy runs in the Monarchical or Imperial lines. Elections are fought in the manner of wars. Savitri Era Party believes that change is possible. Citizens need to reclaim and regain their individualities. Decency, decorum, humility, respect, and tolerance have to be restored.
You are shaming yourself and your surname by writing the last line. Please delete if you can.

Too many people are trying to celebrate and take credit for the Bengal victory. People are forgetting that it's patently an anti-incumbency vote. There was no third force and BJP became the sole beneficiary. The same thing had happened in Odisha earlier. Further, TMC scored well.
I keep the probability of TMC winning at 75% and BJP at 25%. Democracy is suffering and Development is languishing under Mamata. A change will certainly be better, but she gives a strong resistance to Hindutva when most have failed. BJP win would mean a double-edged sword for it.
Hindutva is already facing confusion due to a series of revisionist stances of RSS. BJP win in West Bengal is going to multiply its challenges over grappling with plurality. It is not that Bengal is endorsing or embracing Hindutva. It is a purely anti-incumbency vote like Odisha.
Many are eager to invoke Sri Aurobindo at this juncture but it's undiluted conjecture. Further, Modified BJP is lightyears away from universalist outlook of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Party has been opposing appropriation of Sri Aurobindo by BJP ecosystem since 2007.
Regional politics, Caste based politics, & Personal charisma based politics are falling like house of cards. Thus it is apparent that robust ideology and affinity is needed for success in politics in future. Savitri Era Party has been emphasising Sri Aurobindo as the future icon.
It is so plain simple. Even BJP is publicly admitting that tactical transfer of the Left vote helped it.
