Quitting my job of a Bank officer in 2000, I launched Savitri Era Learning Forum in 2005 for spreading the message of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. At 70, I look back with satisfaction how people are unable to appreciate their greatness, significance, or relevance. So, a lot to do!
Media regularly reports success stories but assuming that the same can be replicated by others is an illusion. The ontological ubiquitousness of a unique individual can't be overshadowed by patterns or preexisting templates. A surprise element therefore always lurks in the wings.
Sri Aurobindo had a lifelong engagement with poetry and literature. From Homer to Dante and Milton to Whitman, it was a vast sweep consummating with Valmiki, Vyasa, and Kalidasa. The light and delight of all these streams were distilled for writing Savitri as an ode to The Mother.
Comte’s Religion of Humanity influenced Bankim who fused it with Keshub Chandra Sen's Bhakti and Naba Bidhan to craft Anushilan. Sri Aurobindo's Integral yoga flows from it and also his chapter on Religion of Humanity. Tagore further modifies this in his Religion of Man lectures.
Savitri Era Religion requires worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and seeking their love, compassion, and grace. This is absolutely voluntary and free from the tyranny of any mythology, rituals, or fixed practice. Reading their books is also optional.
The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo validates itself on an elegant logic of evolutionary inevitability. It's like the simple fact that if I catch Shantipur Local I will reach Shantipur within an hour and a half. Jonathan Livingston Seagull paints this tension beautifully.
New parties are being launched, but Savitri Era Party (2007) is confident of introducing new politics in the country on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary philosophy. Establishing an egalitarian atmosphere by abolishing all kinds of reservations is one target.
This User name business inaugurated a new era of deception. Fake profiles and bios became the order of the day. Enticing DPs turned a success formula. Of course, make-ups enable to put up a false appearance, which is accepted as culture. In that sense, this legitimacy is age-old!
Sri Aurobindo started publishing his writings in 1893. Thereafter, he wrote in different phases from which several authoritative books appeared. The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo consists of 36 volumes: incarnateword.in/cwsa. Besides, Collected Works of the Mother are there.
The genesis of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry, a hundred years back ploughed through many complex and ambiguous circumstances. Identifying her as the Divine Mother was not a very welcoming situation nor was putting her in charge of all day-to-day affairs and spiritual guidance.
Savitri Era Religion recommends worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine instead of bothering about the modalities of Integral yoga. Reading books is also not mandatory. It's the most modern and rational religion without the tyranny of mythology or rituals.
Commenting on international affairs and geopolitical speculation is an addition. Signalling that you are among the handful of top intelligent persons on the planet is absolutely gratifying. It's assured that no one is going to follow your recommendations nor check their efficacy.
It's heartening to observe that multi-party democracy is having a free-play in our country. Media too is diverse, multi-layered, and financially viable. But lack of any ideological-glue privileges charisma and oratory. Savitri Era Party is dedicated to Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo started the Ashram as a laboratory for eradicating human imperfection by transformation of nature through application of higher consciousness. They never claimed success nor relinquished hope. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine.
