I have been stressing on Democracy and Modernity because, being born and brought up in a village in Odisha, I have seen the distressing effects of local tradition and culture. English connects us to the Western world, down to the ethos of Athens. Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) allow us the freedom from the compulsion of justifying whatever Sri Aurobindo wrote through the lens of Hindutva.
Through Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF), I have been disseminating diverse sources of knowledge since 2005. Each person grows through a unique trajectory, and stumbling upon the right reading material at the right time can prove to be a seminal event. Online presence, therefore, has a great benefit, and innumerable people have benefited by both agreeing and disagreeing with me. https://x.com/SavitriEra - https://bsky.app/profile/savitriera.bsky.social

1. Those who are drawn towards the vortex of Sanskrit texts in their youthful enthusiasm are inviting trouble for all their life. One text will lead to another and then multiple commentaries etc. would rob many pleasures and cause vertigo. Sri Aurobindo's English translations safer.
