Savitri Era in 2026

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra - 2026

Acquaintance with the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can easily wean away people from harmful ideologies like Hindutva. Sri Aurobindo reinterpreted the Veda, and restored its original significance and relevance for the modern generation. He wrote Savitri to retell them.

While constant war is going on between Left and Right, Savitri Era Party posits Sri Aurobindo as the right recipe. There can be many disagreements with his various historical roles or opinions but they were contextual. His evolutionary framework is what should be the focal point.

Nehru was responsible for not allowing the dominant religion dictating terms to the Govt but failed to fortify his policy with adequate armament and ammunitions. Savitri Era Party is confident that following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only alternative to dethrone Hindutva.

Democracy means rule by the people or their representatives. Being conscious of the mode or nature of administration and act as a watchdog is also incumbent on the citizens. But social media has turned it into entertainment, and a career for many. Watchdogs have vested interests!

When people talk about Market, most of the time they think of success. Those case studies are sold as dreams; hymns to Chadhta Suraj are sung. But Market also involves failure, loss, or defeat. Thus blaming this or that is just superficial; deeper reasons are purely evolutionary.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent, is the fundamental principle of Savitri Era Religion founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956) in 2006. It's free from rituals.

Many institutions adorning Sri Aurobindo's name depend upon public donations or Govt funding. Some run social services on commercial basis. All these can be factors for compromise or misrepresentation which is unavoidable. Savitri Era Religion, therefore, is focused on surrender.

Many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo came out to express their opinion during the Book controversy in 2008. The conflict subsided with time but exposed fault lines of Integral yoga. The Auroville goings on reflect many misgivings too. Peacetime open discourse is essential.

Academic narratives get influenced by politics instead of philosophy. Even philosophy is prone to racial or geographical bias. In such a circumstance holding on to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings is a safe recourse. For Savitri Era Religion they are the one Supreme Divine.

Not being attached to any institution or group has allowed me to be independent in my thinking. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have proved to be a strong anchor in my standing against Hindutva when so many others falter. Evolutionary worldview saves from narrow national perspectives.

Posts are normal on this platform against Congress, Communists, Socialists, Dalits, Muslims, Christians, and some Journalists. Savitri Era Party, however, aspires for harmony. This can be achieved by following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who represent human unity and universality.

Since Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine it's not against people worshipping human beings as gods or goddesses. At least it's better and rational than worshipping imaginary characters of mythological fiction or abstract conceptions.

Granting Sovereignty to the States under a loose Federation can turn India the nucleus of future #WorldUnion that Sri Aurobindo foresaw in his #FiveDreams Manifesto. Otherwise, presently it lacks any moral stature for perorating on geopolitical matters since Delhi looks Colonial.

Instead of thinking about the poor in our country many are concerned about the wealthy Indians in America. Nationalism has many unseen dimensions including protecting gods in different countries and in the heaven. Boasting about new highways is common but the lanes are forgotten!

In 1906, Sri Aurobindo resigned from the Vadodara Royal service and moved to Kolkata as the Principal of the newly established Bengal National College, now Jadavpur University. Side by side, he was also acting as the editor of Bande Mataram newspaper founded by Bipin Chandra Pal.

There's no point in complaining about the British siphoning funds away from India during Colonialism since America is reimbursing continuously through subsidised tariffs. I didn't know about this phenomenon before the recent hike as we are pathetically supplicating to reduce them. 

Someone has tried to link Sri Aurobindo with Ram Swarup, Sitaram Goel, Arun Shourie, and Rajiv Malhotra. This is pure misrepresentation and intellectual dishonesty. People should read his books independently without any preconceived impression or prejudice incarnateword.in/cwsa

It's heartening that Nigrahacharya is clarifying matters relating to different gurus and cults. His criticism of Sri Aurobindo representing a break from traditional Shastras is accurate which also forms the basis of Savitri Era Religion. Others too should speak with such clarity.

World has changed immensely since 1973, when The Mother passed away. Thus the life in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry or Auroville shouldn't be construed as a model for the future. Anyone can follow them anywhere in the world without the misconception of sustainable development.

My search for meaning of life through literature, philosophy, and politics acquired a strong underpinning via The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings. Then it occurred to me that mere intellectuality is not enough and I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. That was 20 years back.

Under the banner of Savitri Era Party (2007), I have been providing an alternative narrative and ideology that is different from what is ordinarily followed by most devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. It is also different from Hindutva, Congress, and Leftist line of thinking.

Many learned persons equate Sri Aurobindo to Gandhi, Tagore, Vivekananda, Savarkar, et al. This is absolutely unfair. Sri Aurobindo's principal contribution is in the field of philosophy, mystic poetry, yoga, and spirituality which is something unique in the entire world history.

Since I am not in contact with other devotees and followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for many years, my own situation is the reflection of their action and grace. Group activities provide a sense of belongingness that may be necessary at a time but ultimately it is solitary.

Madhu Dandavate as Railway Minister had introduced cushion in Sleeper coaches and development continues. The Mother too was concerned for development of Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville. But evolution shouldn't be confused with this line of progress. Shedding dross is the task.

Having seen ideological swings at different periods in the past it's my firm belief that hold of Hindutva will decline. Because people seek self-interest and no religion by itself can provide this in full. Power and wealth are essential and Sri Aurobindo stands as an alternative.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best among available variants even if one doesn't agree with their system of yoga. Savitri and other poetic output are surely superlative. Reading them can convince one that they are the one Supreme Divine who deserve surrender.

Thanks to @Sanjay_Dixit for highlighting Uttarpara speech of Sri Aurobindo in a video chat at DEF talks. However, there was a factual error that the speech was, originally, delivered in Bengali. But it was actually delivered in English since Sri Aurobindo was educated in England.

India at present is in a precarious state. Its politics is centred round religion. It's internal security is focused on religion. Its defense is religion-based too. Its foreign policy also hovers around religion. External trade and commerce largely are also sensitive to religion.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have resolved all philosophical disputes

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

I had launched Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005 and twenty years have passed. Discourse on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has taken many different forms. Thankfully, no one today feels bad about publicity on them. However writing on them has dwindled.

selforum.blogspot.com/2025/12/focus-…

I have been spreading an alternative narrative on this platform for the last fourteen years. I have not come across anyone who agrees with me. That is because no one else has the kind of grounding in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo akin to me.

savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-pla…

The aims of economics and politics have to be imbued with morality and compassion. This is on the basis of the inherent unity of all human beings or fraternity. Savitri Era Party, driven by the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is in a unique position to pursue this path.

Integral yoga, Integral education, Integral Advaita, etc. are associated with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Integral philosophy, Integral psychology, or Integral sociology also are used at times. However nuances are different and are modified according to the situation or argument.

Despite espousing Enlightenment values, Western countries have not been able to create something like Auroville. So expecting it to be a reality in India is a chimera. But as a private property, it belongs to Savitri Era Religion. Govt. should not force secularism on Matrimandir.

Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo understand who they are, as for others they are just historical characters. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party are an attempt to gather their devotees and followers under one umbrella so that adverse attacks can be fought with unity.

More and more types of interactive, immersive experiences are going to swamp the human mind in future as a result of which reading will be pushed to the background. Seducing attention with attractive pictures and videos, therefore, is not an innocent act; it's clearly subversive.

Each educated Indian should read The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo incarnateword.in/cwsa/15

One may not be interested about the Veda itself but understanding the meanings of a handful of terms can alter his or her perspective. However SA's opposition to AIT is not foolproof.

Please search AIT at my X profile page. You can use any keyword to know my views on different subjects. Sri Aurobindo is a scholar and hence his writings are subject to critical scrutiny. It's a standard academic practice and I can't stop it. Thus we need to be cautious.

Constitution of India is against its languages. States are generally open for anyone and thus migration is rampant. In such a situation, maintaining the purity of languages is a herculean task. Politicians just pay lip service but they understand the benefits of mixed demography.

Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been my most practical contribution during the last twenty years. As its Director, I have been highlighting importance of right knowledge and perspective instead of yoga, sadhana, spirituality, or mystical experiences.

Understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can heal the Hindutva contagion, easily. Graduating from Uttarpara speech to the #FiveDreams Manifesto is a natural and effortless journey if one is genuinely curious and sincere. Opposition parties don't possess this potent formula, alas!

The #FiveDreams Manifesto of Sri Aurobindo was broadcast over AIR, Tiruchirappalli on August 14, 1947, a few hours before the Tryst with Destiny speech was delivered by Nehru in Delhi. It has been in the sidelines all these years, but seems like to be the focus as India's agenda.

Savitri Era Religion doesn't depend on the usual methods employed by other religions. Instead of being a collective or community affair, it's by the individual in his own unique way. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine triggers a myriad possibilities.

I have been trying to bring clarity to understanding The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's legacy since their writings are full of complex concepts and formulations. Besides, their historical roles have many twists and turns. So the first step is to worship them as the one Supreme Divine.

English is sacred to us because Savitri is written in it. Hence respecting its grammar and punctuation marks should be an elementary concern while writing. Avoiding space or paragraph after every sentence gives a compact look just like the arguments offered shouldn't be spacious.

Savitri Era Religion believes that the reception of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's ideas in future will be on the basis of a more rigorous examination of their philosophy and methodology, which is good. Thus a simply devotion-centric scenario is not enough but worshipping them key.

The Foundations of Indian Culture by Sri Aurobindo is an enigmatic work, now available as The Renaissance in India incarnateword.in/cwsa/20

Many confuse it as his glorification of ancient India, as a result of which his scenario-vision of an ideal society embedded in it is missed.

Sri Aurobindo is the biggest brand of India and anyone promoting it will automatically be benefitted. This is at the pure material level. As a prominent soft power resource, handling its vast inventory imparts commensurate profits at the consciousness level. Grace has its effect.

While it's tempting to dismiss Feuerbach et al as symbols of suspicion or banishment, it would be more fruitful to harness their neglected dimensions, like Indra reclaiming cows, or light, from the Vritras. In this context, Adam Smith, or even Franz Kafka, can come to the rescue.

It's not Rishi Aurobindo. It's simply Sri Aurobindo. No Rishi or Maharshi. He signed in the style as Sri Aurobindo. His books have been published under the name Sri Aurobindo. His Ashram at Puducherry is Sri Aurobindo Ashram. So please don't distort his name. He is Sri Aurobindo.

Fine. Then he should be called Rishi Sri Aurobindo and not Rishi Aurobindo. Sri is very much part of his adopted name and not an honorific. He also dropped the surname Ghose. Further, he was against using old titles llike Rishi as his task was conquering new higher consciousness.

As the one Supreme Divine, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. They have resolved all philosophical disputes, and put paid to perennial quarrels over political and economic ideologies. May it be recognised!

GoogleAI provided a long list of benefits of watching movies when I asked it, Am I missing much by not watching them? It's fine, but at my age those benefits don't matter much. But I'm of the view that too much of stress on it is harmful. Fighting political battles via it is bad.

Life's experience teaches many things

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956)

Time heals
Has nothing to do with time
It is our brain
Which jettisons from time to time.
Old memories go
To make room for new
I had studied Botany
No trace remains now.
Thus our individuality
Is being redefined
In a constant manner
Yet we feel a monolith I.

Tusar Nath Mohapatra, December 20, 2025

https://x.com/i/status/2002406507460374989 

Let there be no confusion that Savitri Era Religion was founded by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956) in 2006. It has a distinct philosophy and ontology from what was originally taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Learning Forum and Savitri Era Party are allied outfits.

As a rebel Sri Aurobindo talked about transcending the scientific view of the world and seeking spiritual realities via yoga. But this opens floodgates for frauds, quacks, and imposters. Commercial interests mushroom in collective activities. Savitri Era Religion advises caution.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have expressed poor opinion about politics at places, and hence, their devotees and followers consider politics as dirty. But the same people consider lotus symbol as resembling The Mother's symbol and quietly vote for BJP. This is a pathetic situation!

The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are writings which compete in the marketplace of ideas for prescience and relevance. They are not self-evident truth, automatically. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine but does not assure about results of yoga.

The last seventy years have taught me that worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the best solution. I gave the name Savitri Era Religion in 2006 since it is essential for legal and sociological purposes. With coherent philosophy it provides freedom from mythology and rituals.

Pasting quotations from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in social media amounts to a great deal of virtue signaling. Thus persons should be judged by their opinions on other matters where they show their true colours. Savitri Era Party aspires for harmony and not hatred. #FiveDreams

Savitri Era Religion encourages devotees to build their own relationship with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, independently, without any reliance on any institution or individual. No fixed method of practice or rituals are involved in this exercise. Only love, loyalty, and surrender.

Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for developing the right kind of mental framework for the modern world. Apart from philosophy, psychology, or yoga, lots of literature in the form of poetry, plays, and literary criticsm are also part of their works.

Accessing the spiritual planes of consciousness, as explained by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is not possible for all. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine, therefore, is the preliminary step as proposed by Savitri Era Religion (2006). No fixed method of practice or rituals.

Meetings and conferences relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo along with art and music shows are a common feature. All these reflect the Integral nature of their vision and spread awareness and education. Yoga and Healing camps are also becoming popular.

forms.gle/NxgWiyGaWuac3Y…

Apart from yoga and spirituality, the greatest contribution of Sri Aurobindo is an alternative vision and narrative, as encapsulated in his #FiveDreams Manifesto (1947). Savitri Era Party (2007) interprets this as opposition to BJP as well as Congress, for the present scenario.

It is not difficult to write scholarly articles on Sri Aurobindo by quoting passages from his writings on various themes. AI has made the task yet easier. But the real challenge is to go beyond textual understanding and present actual intent. Integral outlook is essential for it.

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo met on March 29, 1914 which is the most important event on our planet. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the most important task at present. No comparison, no elaborate analysis of their action.

Sri Aurobindo started publishing some articles in Bengali in a journal called Dharma ধৰ্ম্ম, before migrating to Puducherry. It's interesting to note that these writings on the Veda, Upanishads and Gita contain in seed form what he developed later in Arya.

India saw partition in 1947. It adopted a Constitution in 1950 incorporating caste and perpetuating discrimination. Nehru inaugurated a dynasty the ill effects of which continues. So India has been deprived of true democracy and equality. Savitri Era Party aspires to remedy this.

History wars go on nonstop here and it's difficult to distinguish between history and legends or even mythology. All literary creations are thrown into the muddle. Movie plots are making things more complicated. Savitri Era Religion (2006) is an honest attempt to reject mythology. 

Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859) and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (1838–1894) were being discussed recently who have seminal contributions to the building of modern India, we see today. The role of Christianity and Western philosophy is immense in constructing our mentality.

Principles of ethics are clear and simple. Citizens of India must uphold them for protecting democracy. Nothing becomes right just because a big crowd is supporting it. Sri Aurobindo is the only symbol of ethics in the whole of humanity. Savitri Era Party encourages to follow him. 

Accusing others has become normal whereas the right approach is to look into the defects of one's own ideology or methodology. Electoral success shouldn't be construed as a ratification of any ideology. Democracy and modernity can't be sacrificed at the altar of religious hubris.

People in UP were voting for the Congress. Then they started voting for various versions of Janata Party. For a time they favoured the Bahujan Samaj. Now they are voting for BJP. So, no one should take it for granted that people have become their own. They will shift before long.

Roller-coaster journey of Western philosophy is an excellent historical record of how human intellect has struggled over the centuries in search of truth. Grappling with political or economic issues also add realism to the whole quest. Finally, Sri Aurobindo provides the answers.

Each person is free to interpret the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo according to his or her understanding and need. Although, I was conversant with it from an early age, I started Savitri Era Religion at the age of fifty. Obviously, life's experience teaches many things.

Videos and podcasts have become common and reading is being relegated to the background. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and to understand them some amount of reading is necessary. Further reciting Savitri creates Mantric effect.

The beauty of Savitri Era ontology

 Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Savitri Era: Let there be no end savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/11/let-th…

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-place-is-secured-in-history-books.html

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/savitri-era-religion-is-modelled-on.html

https://savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/12/savitri-era-religion-doesnt-have-any.html

The beauty of Savitri Era ontology is that it not only surpasses all previous formulations but also modifies Sri Aurobindo's own. They are the one Supreme Divine and hence it is necessary to imagine The Mother transcending gender and the dualistic shadows of ancient philosophies.

Sri Aurobindo rebelled against dry rationalism and advocated intuitive perception but unfortunately the same can't be implemented in an academic milieu. However studying the dynamics of spirituality shouldn't be debarred by the universities. The Life Divine is the best candidate.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the first necessity. Fostering plurality and individual freedom is also our duty. Feelings of ownership and entitlement therefore need to be moderated. Respect for all kinds of knowledge and creativity is a must.

Savitri Era Religion encourages a down-to-earth approach towards spirituality and self-management. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings are vast with profound concepts. It's not easy to be benefitted by them as is visible in many examples. So worshipping them is the best avenue.

Incarnate Word is a very accessible site for reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings and allied literature. It has an excellent section with 337 compilations that are just like new books. It makes easy the labour of research with ready-made reference

incarnateword.in/compilations

The Divine manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is not acknowledged widely. A lot of confusion prevails among devotees also. Many find it appropriate to confine them within the Hindu religion while another section treats them as nothing more than Gurus. Savitri Era is key.

Tension between Sri Aurobindo and Hindutva is the most interesting subject of this century. Savitri Era Party has been highlighting this which has implications for other religions also. Historians are yet to chronicle significant facets of this encounter. Scholars are in slumber!

Savitri Era Religion has no connection with other religions and mythological fictions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent diverse backgrounds but worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises is the most futuristic apprehension of them.

Explaining Savitri has turned a sort of escapism. Obviously no one has answers to our day-to-day problems, but Integral yoga needs to be aligned with a conscious seeking of solutions for them. At least there should be awareness about the anti-evolutionary forces such as Hindutva.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have predicted the descent of Supramental consciousness for transformation of life and the world. Savitri Era Party has been opposing Hindutva and the Congress for paving the way for such a prospect. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is vital.

Surendra Mohan Ghose (1893 – 1976),
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee (1901 – 1953), and
Debi Prasad Chattopadhyaya (1933 – 2022)
were influenced by Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, apart from
Vinoba Bhave (1895 – 1982),
Jayaprakash Narayan (1902 – 1979), and
Deendayal Upadhyaya (1916 – 1968).

Took voluntary retirement from Punjab National Bank today 25 years back. At 70 I look back with satisfaction at my intellectual journey and having provided an alternative narrative under Savitri Era banner on the basis of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and future vision.

I have seen three distinct phases of political dominance in India during the last seventy years. The next one clearly belongs to Sri Aurobindo and Savitri Era Party has been highlighting this for the last two decades. People don't know about him but evolutionary force is at play.

Since democracy entails majority rule, RSS consciously sticks to the Bottom of the pyramid. Left was milking it on economic basis but Hindutva focused on religion. Not even religion but on its Dolls wedding version. Thus appealing to the Lowest common denominator ensures success.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine, and yet I'm not in favour of treating their words as self-evident truth, for all time. Thus there is no reason why things cannot be changed over which consensus of certain people was created in the last century.

Sri Aurobindo's writings are great. The system of Integral yoga that he has devised along with The Mother is pathbreaking too. But the current situation in India is in a precarious state. The dominance and pernicious effect of Hindutva has to be countered by Savitri Era Religion.

Another movie is making waves
But I won't be able to watch alas!
Like many such Files that were hyped
Since I have forgotten watching.
Many books are coming out too
But I don't read nor will
Still I must pamper my self-esteem
By posting here on X every morning.

Theosophy too has a similar system or would you attribute it to the probable meeting of Blavatsky with Max Théon? Are you then proposing that The Mother was partly responsible for The Life Divine? I don't think this aspect has been highlighted, definitively, in recent works on her like by Patrick Beldio or Nika Kuchuk.

https://x.com/i/status/2001346981395075143

Unlike other critics, Savitri Era Party maintains that Hindutva is a valid political agenda which has every right to test its strength in the Indian democratic arena. But lack of transparency and theoretical clarity is a big problem. Further, it's against Sri Aurobindo's vision.

To judge Hindutva by simply the damage it has inflicted on the polity would be one-sided. How much it has contributed to building confidence and drive among a large section of people should also be reckoned. Each era has its pros and cons. But the future belongs to Sri Aurobindo.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the most sensible mode of expressing religious sentiments. Allied poetry and philosophy offer ample aesthetic and intellectual satisfaction. Besides, Savitri Era Religion has the potential of dethroning Hindutva.

Congress is not so much a problem. Most people in India have a visceral hatred towards dynasty who instinctively support Hindutva. Intellectuals find ideological affinity with Congress but many of them are paid. Thus Savitri Era Party is the only alternative in the circumstances.

Hindutva stance vis-à-vis Sri Aurobindo isn't very clear. They pay lip-service when needed and laud his political phase but skillfully avoid his major philosophical contributions and the spiritual aspect. They also play down the implication of his teachings on religions in future. 

That's the system
They say
Be a part of it
Or you will be thrown out.
So everyone falls in line
Pretending it to be leonine
Self-interest is the bottom line
Thus the system is happy.
But asymmetry lurks
With its quicksand turfs
System becomes unstable
For it's a tower of bubbles.

https://x.com/i/status/2001690542233784606

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo surpasses all streams of Western philosophy. Their contributions to psychology and political theory too is superlative. Still keeping their writings out of University curriculum is absolutely unjust. Educated people should raise voice.

Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine requires awareness about their extraordinary contributions which have been meticulously documented over the years by their disciples and erudite scholars. Ashram or Auroville shouldn't cloud one's impression of them. 

Bengal Renaissance played out throughout 19th century in which various religious movements flourished. This was triggered by European influence but in Europe itself thinkers like Schopenhauer, Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud created an atmosphere of suspicion for religion.

The Moonje connection is missing, it seems.
