Mobile loyalty

 Mobile phones have completely altered the priorities and habits of people. Spirituality, in this scenario, seems to have no relevance at all. More so, for the highly complex and esoteric nature of the philosophy and yoga enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Yet, their followers understand how crucial it is for the future of the world. Hence, dissemination assumes a lot of importance.

Sadly, no such organised effort is there in a professional manner, despite availability of the best technological resources. No proper pedagogic framework is in place as to what to teach or how to teach. Harnessing competent persons is never a criterion. Opacity on the intersection of religion and philosophy is also a contentious issue. In a such a circumstance, clarity on intentions and future projections are important.

I have been active through Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) since 2005 with utmost transparency. Steering clear of mystical and esoteric aspects has been my endeavour. Savitri Era Religion (2006) helps to get rid of mythology and rituals. Savitri Era Party (2007) campaigns for a modern attitude and lifestyle. Espousing Democracy and Constitutional ethics, obviously, is paramount.

Hindutva enthusiasts continue to appropriate Sri Aurobindo to the hilt. I have been advocating for reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo without a India- or a Hindu-centic slant. Accepting them as the one Supreme Divine allows the leeway to disregard their actual writings with the argument that they were contextual. Being sincere to their intention, and not other impositions, is the trick. https://x.com/SavitriEra - https://bsky.app/profile/savitriera.bsky.social
