Plays and movies have the unenviable task of translating philosophy into concrete human drama. They have to have a careful eye for blending right doses of nine rasas to entertain successfully. Highlighting good against a contrast is a challenge. Besides sub-texts are a minefield.
With seventy long years of experience in life in diverse circumstances, I don't claim to have any settled views. Postmodernism gifted me that perspective and hence I don't recommend to take The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings as self-evident truth. Worshipping them is constant.
Before Camus resurrecting Sisyphus, Schiller had invoked Tantalus as if they are the warp and woof of human condition. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, by contrast, expect higher consciousness transforming infirmities. Their own Messianic role, however, is a crucial element. Take it...
Authpur (actually, আতপুর or Atpur) has Athpur Sub Post Office-743128. It falls under Jagaddal Police Station, Jagaddal Assembly Constituency, Bhatpara Municipality, Barrackpore Lok Sabha Constituency, North 24 Parganas District, West Bengal. Nearest Railway station is Shyamnagar.
Mohapatra Nilamani Sahoo ମହାପାତ୍ର ନୀଳମଣି ସାହୁ (22 December 1926–25 June 2016) is a respected name in Odia literature. He was also an ardent devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as well as a perceptive student of their philosophy, yoga, and Integral education throughout his life.
Savitri Era Party (2007) is against AAP, BJP, CJP, & the Congress for the simple reason that they lack ideology and ethics. Many are clamouring that economic issues are fundamental but the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo teaches that deeper evolutionary causes are there.
Just remembered that, I had watched a movie called Melody at Gadag, while touring Karnataka in 2015. Couldn't understand the dialogue but music and picturisation was nice. Rajesh Krishnan was the lead actor and playback singer whose real-life was depicted.
Without framing it as before or after, Sri Aurobindo would offer an Integral view of consciousness, around the same time.
But both agree on the evolutionary possibilities, I suppose.

The Chief Justice has said that the Constitution is our shared home and belongs to everyone. But why are its core values flouted more than abided by? The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore insist on the bedrock of spirituality. Significance of Flowers by The Mother is a great guide.
Savitri Era Party (2007) has been demanding abolition of reservations and all references to castes or religions from the Constitution of India. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for ushering in human unity and world peace. #FiveDreamsManifesto
After five years of his famous Uttarpara speech Sri Aurobindo started publishing his most ambitious book in a serial form in the Arya monthly magazine. Apart from The Life Divine a few others like The Synthesis of Yoga, The Secret of the Veda, & The Human Cycle were also started.
Savitri Era Party expects people to be conscious and proactive, instead of being used as herds by different political parties and religious or cultural organisations. Liberty is futile without agency. Educated people not being able to appreciate Sri Aurobindo is a colossal error.
Absolutely amazing that highly politically-conscious intellectuals are eager to put their money with fly-by-night operators in search of quick-fix solutions. Like carnivals, anarchist tendencies have their own attraction, but the costs may be quite considerable. Restraint needed.
Mamata Banerjee can be said to be the most experienced politician in the country today. Those who have seen her at every protest as an irreverent voice know how arduous has been her long journey. Her popularity is still intact and can propel her to the logical slot at the Centre.
I understand your sentiment but she still commands 40 percent vote share. I was hinting at a possible leading role for her at the Centre since there is a vacuum in the opposition space. Whatever her shortcomings, there is no doubt that she is a seasoned leader with Left leanings.
That seems to be obvious but may be a blessings in disguise too. Not many people have a national recognition or appeal today, but she can generate instant following on several fronts. Muslims, women, workers, farmers, and far too many far-flung constituents can kick her upstairs.
Like Vastu, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo value balance and harmony. That doesn't mean they rule out upheavals but take them as a means for achieving the greater good. Thus, aspiration for concord and not anarchy is important. But that shouldn't be a pretext for dumbing down people.
Sri Aurobindo predicted #WorldUnion as a part of #FiveDreamsManifesto, but his followers generally talk about it in an abstract manner. Politics involves ground, and with this aim in view, I had started Savitri Era Party in 2007 so that this evolutionary possibility takes shape.
As Director of Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 2005. No other person or institution is involved with this activity, spanning over two decades. I have not received any funding or sponsorship, from any source.
Each person has a unique trajectory in life and accordingly carries a particular understanding of it. Commenting on the behaviour of other persons or generalising interpersonal situations, therefore, is prone to error. From the spiritual perspective, each one is playing his role.
With Sputnik, space age began two years after I was born and Yuri Gagarin became the first space traveller in another four years. Those were the times and Nehru was not the only person for advocating scientific temper. Defending Modernity, therefore, is an ongoing political task.
Integral education is not about schools and colleges alone. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent lifelong learning. Physical world survives due to high degree of economy, adaptation, and resilience. Our different faculties should imbibe similar capabilities on a continuous basis.
One handle lamented that her parents didn't teach her agency. Then the story took a new turn everyday. Since evidence was tampered with generously her photographs were tampered with with renewed glee. She has been consigned to flames but now it's difficult to know how she looked!
Meghalaya honeymoon murder case created sensation last year. It's surprising that the cause of Air India crash in Ahmedabad remains shrouded in mystery even after one year. Eliminating Chandranath Rath buried many dark secrets of which there would be many political beneficiaries.
