The JNU episode has shown how ideology can mould minds. It also underlines the fact how we, the followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, have failed miserably to carry their philosophy to the students. Most Universities harbour divrse streams of political opinion but Sri Aurobindo is nowhere to be found. Silence and Meditation are surely admirable Yogic attributes but when the nation is under attack, both from Marxist anarchists and Hindu Rashtra proponents, then a great responsibility devolves upon us.
From whatever little appears on the Web, it's clear that there is no unanimity among the Devotees. Open discussion and debate on matters of socio-political importance are therefore necessary for removing doubts and confusion. Adequate intellectual development is also essential for withstanding the temptation of uncritically supporting the ruling party. Seeing through fallacies in conflicting arguments and detecting methodological errors are crucial for right understanding of issues. Besides, thorough reading of a set of certain writings need to be taken up as a syllabus. A minimum of organised effort can go a long way in pushing this long term goal. [TNM55]

From Rajiv Malhotra Dr. Sampadananda Mishra, a Sanskrit scholar in Pondy and a solid researcher of Sri Aurobindo, has written to me that we must “form a collaborative publishing platform with a home team of genuine scholars and commence the work of publishing that is deeply perceptive of our Vedic tradition. We could perhaps call it the "Vande Mataram Library".
