Rescuing Sri Aurobindo from the trivialisation of his Uttarpara speech on the one hand and transporting him to the remote spiritual planes on the other, is crucial for right appreciation of him. Further, looking at him in isolation without invoking The Mother is congenital error.
Sri Aurobindo wrote virtually till his last breath. Hence approaching him as he was in 1950 is more pertinent than in 1905, when he was beginning his public life. It's important to understand that The Mother gave him the identity and recognition for which he is revered worldwide.
Both Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are completely reliant on The Mother's grace before which all human machinations are fruitless. Intellectual awareness of Sri Aurobindo's epochal evolutionary theories, both political and philosophical, have a big role, nonetheless.
I always remember the rise and fall of Prafulla Kumar Mahanta.

Confining Sri Aurobindo to Uttarpara, West Bengal, or even India is myopic. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo belong to the whole universe and preside over the evolutionary march. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine in their three poises under Savitri Era Religion is the best way
I served PNB from 1977 to 2000 when I took VRS. P. L. Tandon wrote a book on it. Banking century: A short history of banking in India & the pioneer, Punjab National Bank by Prakash Tandon

Why only the opposition to do? Why not people, starting with the intellectuals themselves? Following Sri Aurobindo is the most viable alternative in the current circumstances and understanding this much shouldn't be difficult. Otherwise old ideologies won't be able to defeat BJP.

West Bengal is in focus, and around a dozen names are doing the rounds including, of course, Sri Aurobindo. So far so good, but many are absolutely in the dark about their ideological compatibility or philosophical utility. Nobody has any clue as to in which order to list them!
Pet narratives have their rosy teleologies and fond destinies. All are entitled to their dose of fiction and phantasy, but trajectory of evolution knows no compromise. Assuming that it is biased towards a select slice of geography, however, makes fine stuff for anodyne lullabies.
Savitri Era Party is against AAP, BJP, and the Congress. It believes in the evolutionary philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, as encapsulated in the #FiveDreams Manifesto, broadcast on August 14, 1947. They are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine under Savitri Era Religion.
So, what's wrong with it? Is it undemocratic?
Savitri Era Party aspires for peace and harmony. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have assured that it's an evolutionary inevitability. So, following them, instead of any other party or personality, is the only sensible way. Worshipping them under Savitri Era Religion facilitates this.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have written about higher or unseen regions of consciousness in detail and very realistically. But that doesn't mean that they are explicit and evident or can be accessed easily. Savitri Era Religion encourages to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.
Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively, but unlike his many contemporaries, he didn't take any firm or rigid stand on various burning issues. Ideologies come and ideologies go, but Sri Aurobindo remains as fresh and relevant as ever. He is always the best bet for nuance and perspective.
Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy said something very significant in his dissenting judgement in the Auroville case, 1982, but the majority verdict ruled otherwise. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are suffering injustice for 44 years but current Sabarimala hearings do raise hope.
BJP entering Bengal marks the beginning of the end of the young party. That's why I have said it's a double edged weapon. It has to grapple with multiple philosophies and plurality, which will clash with the monochromatic vision of the RSS. If internalised, it will turn Congress.

Since you are observing on generic issues, what should be an ideal template for a political party in a democracy? What kind of issues should it take up and whom would it ask for votes? What should be its USP to look different? Thanks.

AI lacks agency and awareness but the instant panoptic view it presents is a huge improvement over the present human capability. Further, the text matters since the Author is dead. Thus, from the Sri Aurobindian perspective, the mental realm, definitely, moves up by a few inches.
Sri Aurobindo was steeped in the noble spirit of Western culture and literature due to his education in England for fourteen long years. His discovery of India after his return in 1893 was almost equally long. Thereafter, he started writing in Bande Mataram heralding new thought.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started the Arya monthly magazine in 1914, in which his epochal books were published. The Life Divine established a new evolutionary theory for transformation of humanity, and The Secret of the Veda unveiled the physics of consciousness as its modality.
After Sri Aurobindo went into seclusion in 1926, his disciples used to ask questions in a note book in which he wrote his reply. This continued for many years and these letters have been compiled thematically in seven volumes like Letters on Poetry and Art incarnateword.in/cwsa/27

Recent election has shown how people are clinging to sundry icons. A film star has won, Mamata is still revered as a living-legend; Freedom fighters continue to inspire. All this points to the general propensity of hero-worship. Savitri Era Party, however, bets on Sri Aurobindo.
The only ideology political parties follow, diligently, is votes. As defections have become common, power is the only concern of politicians. Savitri Era Party (2007) is driven by the Vedic ethical paradigm of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and guided by the 1947 #FiveDreamsManifesto
Savitri Era Party has been opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress since 2007. Although it has no presence on the ground, it is the only ideological alternative to Hindutva, at the moment. While all other icons have already been harnessed, Sri Aurobindo is yet to be deployed as a magnet.
