Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Savitri Era: Our task is love, devotion, and surrender savitriera.blogspot.com/2025/08/our-ta…
Dedicated to the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, Savitri Era blog has been offering an alternative mode of looking at the world for the past twenty years. Sole effort by Tusar Nath Mohapatra.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are part of 20th century tumultuous history and yet they are far far away and above all these happenings. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent.
Indian Knowledge Systems is a new slogan from Hindutva camp which invokes Sri Aurobindo at times. The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo should be the fundamental guide for any study of ancient Sanskrit texts but this is not happening. Consequently flawed interpretation persists.
Human beings are human beings irrespective of their language, religion, or nationality. Hence to hate human beings in order to love god is absurd. Savitri Era Religion, owing allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, aspires for human unity & world peace. Join it for #FiveDreams.
Letters on Yoga by Sri Aurobindo are of immense help to the devotees but they tell only one side of the story. If the questions by the disciples come to be published at some future date then a lot of sociological and psychological data relating to spirituality would be available.
Sri Aurobindo was against the whole crowd of moderates and yet today when we admire the Constitutional values vis-à-vis Hindutva, the contribution of both the groups can't be denied. The Western and Christian legacy of Freedom struggle in shaping modern India must be appreciated.
Many Centres relating to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are running on dynastic lines. While this is natural when real estate is involved, Savitri Era Religion seeks to be free from dependence on physical objects. Imagining The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine suits.
True Indian debate is really very important. Delhi and nearby people think they are the true Indians. The North Indians in general think they're the true Indians. South Indians claim to have preserved the rituals, and hence they're the true Indians. Bengalis feel they gave birth!
There are many instructions by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for their disciples in the Ashram. But Savitri Era Religion doesn't recommend following any rule on lifestyle matters. Devotees are free to choose their own life circumstances without any necessity of looking as religious.
Democracy conceives a Parliament for ruling the country but unfortunately all wise people are outside it. Media used to provide them space but it has either been sold or godified. So social media is the last resort but here too arbitrary algorithms rule. Now AI has all the wisdom.
Sri Aurobindo's birth anniversary is a week away which coincides with Independence day. Most Indians are unaware of the significance of this great occurrence. People of West Bengal paradoxically are oblivious of this but only Sri Aurobindo has the potential of resisting Hindutva.
Sri Aurobindo's original works including Savitri are in English. They have been translated into different languages but the mantric effect can't be said to have been effectively transferred. English therefore has to be learnt & tamed howsoever difficult or inconvenient it may be.
A section of Indians want Modi to be out and to see Rahul Gandhi in his place. But Savitri Era Party refuses to accept this as the ideal solution. The wisdom and vision of Sri Aurobindo should guide the nation as outlined in the #FiveDreams Manifesto broadcast on August 14, 1947.
Sri Aurobindo's wisdom reigns supreme in philosophy. Still, Savitri Era Religion modifies it. Similarly when it comes to practical aspects like yoga, psychology, education, or socio-political outcomes, the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't produce commensurate results.
Many aren't aware that granting of Independence to India was settled for some other date but for some reason Lord Mountbatten changed it to August 15, 1947. He would certainly not be knowing that it happens to be Sri Aurobindo's 75th birth anniversary but some unseen force acted.
Only 30 views in three years. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo should share it on a wider scale.

Savitri Era Religion is free from mythology and rituals and has no connection with old religions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, & transcendent. The Life Divine is different.
There's a tendency to judge different persons of history according to stray remarks by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Party takes a balanced view to admire people for their contributions considering the difficult circumstances that they encountered. Even Modi has pluses.
Darshan Day celebrations have a specific format which has become a sort of prison for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their philosophy. All life is yoga concept requires wider involvement and multifarious engagements. School activities have variety, but don't percolate to society.
I don't understand much the politics around tariffs but such disruptive decisions looks to be good for everyone. Democracy has become too much status quoist and therefore such developments may trigger multiple changes. Will it lead to anarchist environment? No, it's evolutionary.
Prayers to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo – The Mother's Prosperity
Ambedkar had foregrounded the plight of the backward sections and Indira Gandhi rooted for Garibi hatao. Marxist scholars underwent the Subaltern turn and now Market economy has run its full course. Poverty and deprivation, however, remain a constant. AC local train started today.
Sri Aurobindo is often remembered as a militant revolutionary but his reputation was partly destroyed by Tagore's Ghare Baire. Further, separation from his wife, Mrinalini Devi and The Mother's ascendancy as head of the Ashram were not very pleasant aspects from the social angle.
By worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, Savitri Era Religion brings freedom for its devotees from astrology, mythology, superstition, & rituals. Savitri Era Party, similarly, discards the warped history of Marxists and puts Sri Aurobindo at the centre.
Democracy has not been functioning well in India from the inception. Indira Gandhi's record of destroying various institutions is well known. The present Govt is doing the same as being highlighted by @MNageswarRaoIPS. He has wide knowledge & experience but politics is different.
Reframing our understanding of the world and its future in consonance with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision is highly important. Mantric power of reciting Savitri for facilitating descent of the Supramental consciousness shouldn't be objected to by rational mind.
The Divine Manifestation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is specifically geared towards the descent of the Supramental consciousness and advent of a new race. Therefore confining them merely to their writings or their actions as recorded by history is utterly meagre and misleading.
Certainly "luminous and voluminous," yet limited and limiting. Sri Aurobindo famously remarked that he could have continued expanding The Life Divine. Further, AI can summarise anything in seconds.
These are all matters of faith. I haven't met anyone receiving such transmission.

Sri Aurobindo's books admittedly are difficult to read and understand. So the solution is to read the commentaries of other authors on his books. It's a slow and steady process and hence posing proficiency or bluffing should be avoided. For aesthetics, his originals are the best.
Orientation in the works of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo empowers not to be impressed by dominant narratives. Sri Aurobindo wrote against as much the hegemony of Western commentators as the misinterpretation of traditional scholars. Therefore no harm in believing in his philosophy.
Surendra Nath Jauhar, founder of Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch, was born on August 13, 1903 sriaurobindoashram.net/events-2024/sn…
Ramakrishna Das, fondly known as Babaji Maharaj, was born on August 14, 1908 mothersorissa.org/Babaji_Maharaj…
Savitri Era Party pays its respects to both the pioneers.
I gave the name, Savitri Era Religion in 2006 the genesis of which can be traced to March 29, 1914 when The Mother reached Puducherry after a long journey from France and met Sri Aurobindo. Evolutionary inevitability will ensure its growth so that other religions go on shrinking.
The present Govt is bad and there should be a change. But what's the alternative? People take pleasure in criticising but what's the solution? Everyone is clueless. Only Savitri Era Party, drawing inspiration from The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, is confident of the evolutionary plan.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
How the legacy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stands today is difficult to perceive in the absence of good books on the subject. Devotees too avoid writing on this. But an independent observer shouldn't go by only the official statements. Not to be agenda-driven is also important.
Savitri Era Religion entails worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine who are always present in their three poises: individual, universal, and transcendent. Reading their books or practice of yoga is secondary. Longing for #FiveDreams, however, is pivotal.
Savitri Era Learning Forum has clocked 1, 09, 9999 hits during the last 20 years. Countless people have been benefited by its coverage. It's also a documention of how I have resisted Hindutva on the one hand and Congress & Leftists' narrative on the other.

Right from the Indu Prakash days in 1893, Sri Aurobindo's task was formidable. Apart from opposing the Colonial rule, he had to show the right direction to the Indian political opinion. Besides he must dispel the confusion created by the intellectual fermentation of 19th Century.
The Idea of India (1997) by Sunil Khilnani can be said to be appearing right at the juncture of a new epoch. India Unbound (2002) by Gurcharan Das was equally seminal. Being Indian (2004) by Pavan K. Varma follows the same trajectory. The Second World (2008) by Parag Khanna also.
Many of Sri Aurobindo's writings are rhetorical and some polemical but broadly they respond to the pre-Independence scenario. His reliance on poetry too echoes British Romanticism. Thus astute grasp on what's relevant for the future is important like The Mother’s book on flowers.
Social media has immense capability for publicity, but the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is not reaching people. Official institutions are reluctant to take any initiative in this direction. To make matters worse, those sympathetic to Hindutva are spreading confusion.
Framers of Indian Constitution never imagined a mobile phone in the hand of every citizen with Internet connection. The modalities of democracy therefore have become outdated. A large nation like India itself has become an absurdity due to overpopulation. States need Sovereignty.
Results of Integral yoga are not assured, and hence it's necessary not to be overenthusiastic about it. There is great power in the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, but after their departure no one can assist anyone in this matter. Savitri Era Religion focuses on devotion.
There's no formal initiation or Deeksha ritual for Savitri Era Religion. Anyone feeling love for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is automatically part of it. No form of pilgrimage or collective activity is mandatory. Each one is free to select his or her own suitable mode of devotion.
