On my questioning, M. Nageswara Rao clarified that, unlike several major sects, followers of Sri Aurobindo, in his opinion, very much belong to the Hindu religion. This looks like a good certificate, but Rao may not be fully aware of the realities prevailing at present. However, Savitri Era Religion (2006) provides a sound safety valve. Further, Sabarimala verdict can transform the whole scenario.
I have maintained that no particular text be considered as supreme since they are meant for imbibing knowledge and inspiration at various stages of life. Further, understanding them without mythological scaffolding or mystical overbearing is an essential precaution. Not to recommend The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's esoteric instructions is also crucial.
Each person and his way of thinking has its own value. Telling him to get rid of his ego or try for spiritual realisation can be unsettling. High unrealistic targets can induce depression or frustration. Savitri Era Religion, instead, would be a secure way of getting introduced to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. No one should assume responsibility for convincing others of assured results by practicing Integral yoga. https://x.com/SavitriEra - https://bsky.app/profile/savitriera.bsky.social

The decisive criterion is whether an organisation’s or cult’s foundational doctrines and practices implicitly or explicitly affirm the foundational Hindu metaphysical first principles based on Veda and remain substantially within Hindu religious framework. On that criterion, Sri Aurobindo, Arya Samaj, etc are within Hindu fold.
