Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Most parties have been reduced to a personality based environment whereas Savitri Era Party is driven by the evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Intellectuals, in our country, must understand the difference and act, accordingly, for the sake of a healthy democracy.
I'm not fond of fiction and hence prefer to spend time on this platform. Nowadays however more and more satire and imaginary scenarios are being peddled by many known handles. So it's becoming difficult to differentiate between fact and fable. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy is better.
Disinformation didn't stop after British left as Leftists took over under the cover of the Cold War. When the digital era arrived, it was a field day for the Hindutva bandwagon. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been disseminating Sri Aurobindo's line of thought since 2005.
After conquering Odisha, West Bengal seems to be an easy target for BJP. Mamata losing is only a matter of time. But the similarity ends there since the vast Muslim population can shift its support to either the Left or the Congress. The SCs deserting BSP in UP is a good example.
Remembering, seeking their blessings and grace, and expressing love and gratitude to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a regular affair for devotees. The feeling of being exceptional, or even superior, may not be unusual when seen in the context of surrounding ignorance and falsehood.
The greatest contribution of ancient India is the Veda the keys of which couldn't be found during the entire 19th century. From Ram Mohan to Vivekananda, all were clueless about it. Dayananda's valiant efforts didn't fetch much. Sri Aurobindo wrote The Secret of the Veda in 1914.
Freedom for citizens is the essence of democracy. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo also emphasise each individual to be independent and unique, in spirituality. Thus, the effort of the political parties and the govt. to educate or impose various value systems upon people looks absurd.
Anyone visiting Auroville is bound to be intrigued. Impressionistic views on the basis of a few first hand encounters aren't a true assessment. There're enough online resources to know and research. It's not perfect but represents evolutionary vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Encouraging conversation but please ensure discussions don't suffer from malnutrition. Ignoring Sri Aurobindo is not going to give any long term solutions.
Debate on decolonisation is surely complex, as Samir Nazareth explains. For us, the followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, it's further complicated. Not rejection but synthesis of what is best from the West is the approach. Thus it's distinctly different from Hindutva’s hatred.
It's widely believed that Advani's Kamandal was against Mandal but ultimately Govindacharya helped BJP to internalise it. Later, Kulkarni attempted to shift focus from it. Now many thought Modi to have unhinged politics from such minor irritations. But Mandal is back with a bang.
The Prime Minister lost mandate to rule but instead of abiding by democratic ethics, he is heading a shaky coalition. To make matters worse, he is yet to be elected as leader by his party MPs. Reliance on personality cult may be a strategy but the tragedy is zero intrinsic worth.
The beauty of Savitri Era Religion is that anybody anywhere can be a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. There are no lifestyle stipulations nor any prescriptions for practicing spirituality. Imbibing the teachings or growing internally is a slow process and can't be evaluated.
On 4th of this month, India experienced a mountain of lies and bluster relating to Hindutva crumbling. From 1992 to 2024, its journey has been devastating. But the alternative to it is in no way superior. Securing maximum number of votes, in the name of secularism, is not enough.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo avoided dabbling in politics but applied their spiritual force wherever necessary. Savitri Era Party doesn't claim clairvoyance, but insists on an attitude of surrender to them so that their grace guides our steps. Becoming an instrument in their hands.
The number of people of my vintage who have lived under all the Prime Ministers won't be much on this platform. Besides, I had visited the venue of the AICC session in Bhubaneswar in 1964 where Nehru had fallen ill before his death. I have also watched Rajiv Gandhi at Sundargarh.
Most Hindutva intellectuals are beneficiaries of Nehruvian liberalism but built a career by speaking against it. This hypocrisy is hard to digest, apart from their projected hollow myths about India's great future. Living in America and dreaming about India was icing on the cake!
Economic development of Odisha and West Bengal lag behind due to evolutionary reasons. Perceiving this is important as against the modern management-driven outlook. That's the advantage of reading Sri Aurobindo's books. Aspiring for higher consciousness is the most desirable task.
Freedom fighters were active in the last century, and books are being written on them. Freedom fighters are also active today, and books will be written on them in the next century. Freedom is a Vedic virtue, and we need to understand its value from the writings of Sri Aurobindo.
The only competence I have earned in life is reasonable familiarity with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's writings. The opportunity given to me to be a player in the social media is a blessing. I was educated to be a school teacher, and I am spreading knowledge and right perspective.
Odisha can be said to be an oasis where I spent the first 33 years of my life. Free from Tagore and similar Bengali influences. Free from Ramcharitmanas and other such mythological texts prevalent in North India. Free from Shankaracharyas and allied sects dominant in South India.
There's no easy answer to which book of Sri Aurobindo a newcomer should read. Further one may be more interested in his political life than his more important philosophy or spirituality. There are other facets like poetry and literary criticism. So open any page and read is best.

I'm witness to the sorry spectacle of how people have been misled by Hindutva during the last two decades. Orientation in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo helped me to show the right path through Savitri Era banner. I don't think, anyone supported me in narrative war.
Reading a couple of pages of what Sri Aurobindo wrote in 1914 can reorient thinking of any educated person. All educational institutions and Universities should realise the significance of his utterances and act accordingly. Ignoring the greatest philosopher is suicidal for India.
Auro Talk series by Dr. V. Ananda Reddy on comparative philosophy #SriAurobindo Richard Hartz, Larry Seidlitz, Dr. Vladimir Yatsenko, Dr. Soumitra Basu, Dr. Martha Orton, Dr. Beloo Mehra, Lakshmi B, Dr. Sreekala Nair, Dr. Madhumita Dutta, Dominique Schmidt.
Savitri Era Religion originates from the collaboration between The Mother & Sri Aurobindo who are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine. Their spiritual role in defeating Hitler is the most prominent event of modern history. Establishing Supramental consciousness is the future aim.
Politics, obviously, is more tangible than spirituality, and hence, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo fail to gain much popularity. Savitri Era Party, however, has been trying to provide an alternative direction to politics since the Life Divine is, very much, a culmination of politics.
A library can surely be protected by deploying an army but what about a human being? How can he be rescued from the jaws of death? Sri Aurobindo dealt with this question by taking up the Savitri legend. It's the most fundamental existential concern. A talk.
Many Hindutva Intellectual Kshatriyas are equipped with Engineering and/or Management degrees while being well versed in History, Politics etc. Although such versatility is commendable, lack of orientation in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy and Psychology makes them ethically crippled.
If political parties can tempt the voters by promising direct cash transfers, then why the same is objectionable for religious conversion is difficult to understand. Religion, like education, should be free to choose and needn't be a lifelong affair like monogamy. MPs can defect.
Indians haven't achieved Independence since the States are yet to be granted Sovereignty. This election has thrown these contours into stark relief and new sensibilities should develop among educated men to notice them. Sri Aurobindo, in his #FiveDreams, has predicted #WorldUnion.
Sri Aurobindo analysed different systems of yoga and devised his own 7x4 model in The Synthesis of Yoga. But after The Mother's final arrival in 1920, he introduced the surrender to The Mother element cementing the three fold Integral Yoga as Aspiration, Rejection, and Surrender.
Sri Aurobindo's books may look difficult but Savitri Era Religion attempts to make them accessible. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the first step. Faith in the fact that they are the greatest philosophers is the second. Reciting Savitri, third.

Savitri Era: Simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle

Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Recognising that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine is very important since it helps not to compare them with others. Concentrating on their writings also helps for not wasting time on general books. A firm belief that they are the greatest philosophers is key.
Election is the most important aspect of democracy but it doesn't guide an individual as to on what basis to vote. Political parties employ all kinds of inducements for attracting the voter's allegiance. So irrationality scores over reason. Savitri Era Party invokes Sri Aurobindo.
The Constitution of India celebrates the autonomy of the Individual, but political parties hard sell tribalism. It's not easy for any individual to strike the right balance between these tensions. Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine.
Identity politics is the order of the day, but Sri Aurobindo exhorts for universality and human unity. Savitri Era Party urges the educated to rise above narrow ideological boundaries and collaborate with the evolutionary forces for establishment of a society based on Harmony.
Sri Aurobindo promised The Life Divine but it's difficult to perceive how it would take shape given the complexities obtaining now. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine by embracing Savitri Era Religion is the only means for facilitating this prospect.
My father was a school teacher and armed with a BScBEd degree I too taught in my village school for one year. Then after serving PNB for 24 years, I took voluntary retirement. Thereafter, I have been tending Savitri Era group of blog sites dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and their writings are contextual and secondary. Understanding them as being always present in their three poises, viz., individual, universal, and transcendent, is crucial for descent of the Supramental consciousness on earth.
Sri Aurobindo has described the symbolic interpretations of various Vedic deities which can be read profitably with the spiritual significances assigned to the flowers by The Mother. Such ethical paradigms have also been woven into the Constitution of India. It's for us to adhere.
Hundreds of books in different languages have been written for explaining the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Now one can watch any number of videos on these aspects. Savitri Era Religion is more about worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine and surrendering.
Caste-based voting pattern seems to be the future but Savitri Era Party aspires for an enlightened society where rationality and fraternity operate. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only means for ushering in a new ethos and intellectual climate.
Truth was a top concern in the last election. Falsehood spread by the godi media came under scanner. Wrong numbers of Exit polls were widely criticised. So ultimately truth matters and that's basic ethics. Building temples has no meaning unless attitude of defrauding people ends.
Sri Aurobindo is the greatest philosopher and poet. His writings provide lifelong intellectual and aesthetic fodder. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and consenting to receive their love and grace is necessary to derive the maximum benefit from their writings.
The problem is the country, the nation, the people, or India didn't do anything during the last ten years. Everything, including construction of highways and launching of new trains was done by Modi. This pathetic attempt of taking credit or selling the name is puerile and stinks.
Capturing booths was a local and physical affair. Hacking of EVMs is invisible and of unimaginable scale. Both can't be compared. Convenience shouldn't be the priority at the risk of jeopardising democracy itself. It's a matter of debate and shouldn't be treated on partisan lines.
No intellectualism can have any validity in India without incorporating the timeless insights of Sri Aurobindo (not Vivekananda et al), and scholarship on both sides of the isle are found wanting. Reading The Secret of the Veda is fundamental to understanding Indian civilisation.
Sri Aurobindo has been able to present a different dimension based on evolution of consciousness.
A lot of rumbling is going on among the Hindutva intellectuals and it was bound to happen. I have been warning about this for the last two decades. Hindutva is nothing but a quixotic exercise. Having read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1964, I was never attracted.
Education in our country is managed at multiple levels by authorities belonging to diverse political persuation. But Sri Aurobindo doesn't find receptivity anywhere. Such stonewalling is ruining the culture and spoiling any pursuit of excellence. Reversing this trend is necessary.
While his knowledge of other things is commendable, his grasp on Sri Aurobindo is still not sound. A friendly reminder!
Savitri Era Party is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. Being inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision, it believes in universality and human unity. Those who are against votebank politics of castes and religion are welcome to join it and work for Life Divine.
Discussion on old religions is useless since they are based on mythology and superstitions. Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and intellectually coherent religion which is aligned to the evolution. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who are always present.
Twenty first century, for many people, meant that India and Hindu are synonyms. 2024 elections have proved that it was a mistake. The diversity this country houses is enormous. Further, the evolutionary trajectory is aiming at something else. Books of Sri Aurobindo are true guide.
Many here feel too confident of understanding Vedanta. Even they comment upon the occult significance of rituals by citing Veda and other scriptures. Then they talk about sadhana also to add credibility. My request is not to believe them. Please read Sri Aurobindo's explanations.
There are plenty of online resources to know about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Many authors are also available in YouTube videos to throw light on different aspects of their philosophy and yoga. Anyone seeking any clarification on them may ask in the comments with due politeness.

Simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle

Savitri Era: Being a prisoner of any metanarrative is a disability

President, Savitri Era Party (2007) & Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006)
Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Dowry demanded during my childhood was ଘଣ୍ଟା, ସାଇକେଲ, ଓ ରେଡ଼ିଓ watch, bicycle, and radio. That was the level of technology sixty years back. So much have changed including WhatsApp University, Godi media, and Lifestyle vlogs. Human emotions and expectations have not changed a bit.
Both Vajpayee and Modi have strayed from the Hindutva due to Kulkarni Doctrine. India is growing organically and no one person or ideology can take the sole credit. Neither meditation nor spirituality can solve the problems faced by the common people. shedding hypocrisy is needed.
No amount of success or ecosystem can be of help if one is following a wrong ideology. We have the example of Leftists and Congress supporters. The same is happening to Hindutva brigade, today. Savitri Era Party has responsibility for politics based on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Uttarpara speech of 1909 is well-known. But mature writings of Sri Aurobindo began in 1914 after his meeting with The Mother in Puducherry. His #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947, towards the end of his life, marks a significant summary of his whole philosophy and mission.
Direct disciples have tried their best to analyse and popularise the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. But they did not anticipate the Hindutva challenge and narrative war. I have been writing against it since I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005.
Power attracts and many followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo became easy preys of the grandiose vision of Hindutva. Those connected with institutions turned allies of the ruling party. Savitri Era Party (2007), however, has been opposing the anti-evolutionary instincts of BJP.
Watched the latest DR video and his presentation of facts is brilliant. Prannoy Roy had started such sophisticated news telecast in India but unfortunately the situation today is abysmal. DR also reminds of Kejriwal. Video ending was invocatory but he needs to read Sri Aurobindo.
So many handles talk about Hindus specifically and not Indians. That means they exclude a certain section of people which is well-known. But the Hindus they pose to represent are divided into different factions. Some factions don't consider these handles as their representatives.
Savitri Era Party demands that the maximum two terms principle should be applied even if the ruling party returns to power, tomorrow. Charisma, sycophancy, personality cult, or such other symptoms of herd mentality should be eschewed in the interest of a healthy democracy. Thanks.
Defeat of leadership and defeat of ideology likely. A great day for Indian democracy since protest has been duly registered.
Modi ruled two terms since Mayawati was responsible for division of votes in UP. It's because of her sacrifice this time that Akhilesh has done well. She deserves all credit.
Obsession with Modi has corrupted the minds of his supporters. They are not discussing ideology, targets, or issues. They are not bothered about the party or democracy. Any sane person would demand change of leadership and course correction but sadly the supporters have coarsened.
Mandate is absolutely clear. Modi got ten years to perform, and people want a new face. It's the responsibility of every party to make this happen. Further, the politics of religion has run its course. Bread and butter issues are more dominant now. No party can afford to be deaf.
By the grace of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, election results have electrified the democratic spirit in India. The fear of the country hurtling back into the Middle Ages is no longer there. Checks and balances of coalition politics will enforce due transparency and accountability.
Savitri Era Party has been showing the correct ideological path since its inception in 2007. Reading the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo lends clarity to thought but intellectuals in our country unfortunately are enamoured by religious fanaticism and mythological fiction.
From ideological point of view, Savitri Era Party favours universality, i.e., a polity without any discrimination on the basis of castes, religion, language, or gender. But being under the Constitution, respect for diversity, reservations, social jusice, and socialism is a must.
Believing in mythology shouldn't force one into imagining fictional prospects in politics which is a hard nosed affair. Emotional issues have limited appeal and ultimately economic factors determine the course of politics. This election has thrown these contours into sharp relief.
Savitri Era Religion has been promoting an alternative intellectual as well as devotional avenue. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be seen merely as founders of an Ashram. Countless people have been recipients of their divine love and grace. One can follow them without ritual.
Realisation is dawning gradually that Hindutva won't be able to award election wins. People's concerns are more important than spewing hatred and imagining a glorious past. Those enjoying good life by building a career on hatred must know that power in a democracy is not forever.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stand for human unity and world peace. They posit it as an evolutionary necessity as well as inevitability. Savitri Era Party has been emphasising need for this revolution of consciousness since 2007. Thankfully things have become clear in this election.
It's interesting that when 50 years of JP's call for Sampoorna Kranti was being celebrated yesterday, BJP and JD(U) were joining hands to form a new govt at the Centre. So spirit of 1977 clearly seems to be in operation. Much depends on Modi how he modifies self-destructive model.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provided an elaborate blueprint in 1914 and India needs simply to follow. They have synthesised what's best from the East and the West. They have clearly indicated the road maps for the future for the whole humanity. Online books
That's half baked and misleading. Sri Aurobindo provides the Integral view based on the Vedic evolutionary paradigm. Profoundly radical.
Hindutva intellectuals speak with a sense of superiority which they inherited from the Leftists. But unfortunately without winning elections nothing can be proved conclusively. The nation's conscience was severely injured by the temple movement and now is the time to make amends.
Some handles think every word of their posts is very important. They write four or five lines leaving space in between them just like paragraphs. It's irritating to read them.
The Constitution of India was adopted when The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were present. It was a huge step for the humanity in the evolutionary direction. It encapsulates the wisdom of myriad religions and philosophies. Monarchical functioning of Modi has been defeated in election.
This election has demonstrated how each State behaves differently from the others. Savitri Era Party has been demanding granting Sovereignty to the States so that they grow to their full potential limits. Modi regime should be a stark reminder of why unitary model is destructive.
Clamour for the Ram Temple dovetailing to sycophancy for Modi is the most tragic turn in India's civilisational history. Intellectuals and journalists who facilitated and legitimised this degeneration will be duly judged by the history. Savitri Era Party has shown the right path.
Social, political, and economic unevenness is akin to geographical unevenness. To understand the mystery of this, one has to study The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo. So, mere platitudes are not going to alter the situation. Savitri Era Religion is confident about evolution.
A lot many people worked hard for this election result which has restored democracy but Mayawati, unfortunately, is responsible for Modi clinging to power. Anyway, churning in media is also a good sign. But schools should start a new course on civility in social media interaction.
Remembering The Mother or Japa is not merely a devotional technique but a mechanism for invoking evolution. Aspiration for descent of Supramental consciousness and Surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo form the bedrock of Integral yoga. Rejection of adverse instincts is third.
As old religions are being utilised for tourism, entertainment, commerce, and politics, the spirituality of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo comes as a breath of fresh air. Savitri Era Religion with no fixed systems of practice or rituals is the most modern and intellectual alternative.
Hindutva is embroiled in mythology while Savitri Era Religion is based on the Veda. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo integrated the scientific theory of Evolution with the Vedic idea of Immortality which surpasses all previous religions and philosophies. Following them is Integral yoga.
Electoral compulsion has mauled the Hindutva discourse badly and there's no scope now to be camouflaged by some overarching emotions like the temple. Debates over castes, further, is taking an ugly turn every passing day. Contradictions galore and Savitri Era Party is the answer.
Modi devotees masquerading as The Mother's devotees are causing immense harm. Lack of adequate reading and orientation in the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo is a double whammy. I have been requesting them to pursue the path they are passionate about and stop adulterating Savitri Era.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gave new knowledge in 1914 and in 2014, it was expected that steps will be taken for teaching it on a larger scale. Conversely institutions dedicated to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been taken over by Hindutva. Real estate in Ayodhya has been stolen.
Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books is necessary for knowledge on philosophy, psychology, education, and political theory. Besides, poetry and literary criticism are also there. But the most important component is yoga or voluntary collaboration with the evolutionary force.
Opposition fell short of numbers but it has won a much greater victory than forming the government. Trouncing the Modi fantasm with divine sanction was needed for rekindling Indian Democracy. Significantly, the opposition is led by the same party which gave rise to Indira Gandhi.
Hindutva supporters love to see the world in black and white terms. Intellectual laziness and easy fanaticism prevents them from studying other ideologies or discovering their merits. The world is complex and the creation is unexplained. So curiosity and inquisitiveness is needed.
Having seen govts. of various hues, I have no happiness nor any particular expectation. How we can adhere to democratic values and constitutional norms is the only concern. Demanding ethics from greedy politicians is nothing but delusion. Still, rule-based functioning can ensure.
Describing something in two sentences never captures the truth in entirety. Role and relevance of Gandhi, Nehru, Congress, or RSS can't be told in a few words nor their influence be wished away. It's necessary to accept historical realities as interply of evolutionary trajectory.
By creating the Savitri Era banner in 2005, I have been publicising the relevance of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on several fronts. Maintaining the genuineness of their message is crucial in view of widespread attempts to appropriate them or subordinate them to dominant narratives.
Inflating self-esteem by expressing support for the Prime Minister is an existential need for common people. Pomp and ceremonies are geared to that end. But Monarchical or religious procedures are not apt for a democracy. Austerity or simplicity is a necessity from the ethical angle.
Makarand R Paranjape too fits the bill.

Savitri Era: Transformatory paradigm of 1914

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. Jan 22, 1956), President, Savitri Era Party (2007) and Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006).
Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Sri Aurobindo's Relics Centres have been established at different places with allied facilities like meditation hall, library and school. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are worshipped as the one Supreme Divine and their Darshan Days are celebrated with utmost devotion and serenity.
Sri Aurobindo wrote a poem on Hitler titled The Dwarf Napoleon. In a similar vein, Modi can be called the dwarf Nehru. I have always maintained that whatever Modi does is a part of his strategy including his latest mujra. He will be remembered for keeping hardline Hindutva at bay.
No national party could develop in India till now and hence the States need to be granted Sovereignty. The plight of Modi for acquiring a national image is a lesson. There's no reason why nearly 1.5 billion people be governed by one person. Time to correct the historical mistake.
Sri Aurobindo's treatment of history is complex being an interplay of pattern, sequence, and emergence.
"random seem the ways...,
Yet your least stumblings are foreseen above.
Infallibly the curves of life are drawn"
"Always our Captain holds the rudder well,
He does not sleep."
Social media has become an integral part of our lives but what is needed most is civility and respect for others. Disagreeing is wholly democratic but insulting a person for holding a particular view is uncivilised. Ecosystem is good but being lodged in an echo chamber is harmful.
There can be no better explanation of the world than what is offered by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. So, reading their books is the basic requirement. The next is to collaborate with the process of evolution for descent of Supramental consciousness by joining Savitri Era Religion.
I came under the influence of The Mother when she was there and most of the direct disciples were active. Books and periodicals in different languages were being published for spreading the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo. Seminars and conferences were a regular feature at Centres.
History of organised violence in India is not only between religions but also between castes, languages, ethnicities, and cults. Spoiling the present for past atrocities and poisoning the minds of young generation is a self-destructive game. Those building careers should refrain.
I alway thought Indira Gandhi's phenomenal charisma was mostly due to her feminine charm. But the kind of spell Modi casts upon people goes beyond his pull among the opposite sex or Hindutva. Non-Biological birth theory is a bit far fetched but 56 inch was a perfect imagery for young.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo inaugurated a new era in 1914 by launching a monthly philosophical magazine called Arya. I called it Savitri Era when I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) blog in 2005. Subsequently I began Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007).
Every fourth day should be a holiday and all other holidays should be dispensed with.
Owing to a vibrant network of study circles, it's easy to be aware of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in Odisha which is not the case with other States. Devotees visiting Puducherry and Auroville should also find time to visit the Relics Centres situated in different parts of Odisha.
Acquiring reasonable competence on poetry and philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is a difficult task and one may still be ideologically wrong after that. Savitri Era Religion facilitates transition from political or scholarly approach to devotional and practice of yoga path.
Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine is the bedrock of Integral yoga. Savitri Era Religion has no connection with any other religion, mythology, or philosophy. The task is, Aspiration for descent of the Supramental consciousness and Victory over death.
What The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gifted in 1914 is still waiting to be discovered by the people in 2024. The country is undergoing a very crucial political churning and let's hope that the new dispensation shows some receptivity towards the #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947.
Culture and education are powerful mediums of imparting superstitions. Besides, each person harbours his own preferences for irrationality. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo present an alternative worldview. They draw attention towards the deeper truths of the universe and our existence.
India has been host to many traditional religions but most of them are bugged by fictional mythologies and meaningless rituals. Even Ambedkar had no good choice to make. Savitri Era Religion is a modern and futuristic alternative fired by the vision of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Hindutva producing such a low level of politician like Modi is a matter of concern. No amount of meditation can wash away the mujra level discourse. Surprisingly, supporters don't find anything amiss. Reading Sri Aurobindo’s books can inculcate the right intellectual orientation.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were against Hitler when many were eager to join hands with him. This is the most important mythological theme of 20th century. Right now, many streams of anti-evolutionary forces are in operation. It's necessary to follow Sri Aurobindo instead of duds.
Sri Aurobindo was drawn into the Freedom movement as a student in England and participated in it after his return to India. He also wrote profusely on political concerns but after 1914, his mature thoughts indicated deeper philosophical intricacies predicting harmony for humanity.
Many intellectuals feel proud about Gandhi but have no respect for Sri Aurobindo. Gandhi was well-known even before the film and following him can lead to social harmony. But the harmony Sri Aurobindo is talking about is much profounder being an evolutionary leap in consciousness.
People are confused today; who to follow? Gandhi, Tagore, Vivekananda, Subhas, Savarkar, Ambedkar, or Periyar? They represent different facets of modern India and inspire political as well as intellectual fermentation. I am fortunate to be a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine, and represent the evolutionary force active for descent of the Supramental consciousness upon earth. Savitri Era Religion has this tremendous advantage over the traditional paths and is free from jejune mythology and rituals.
The immense significance of the new knowledge distributed by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo since 1914 is yet to be fathomed by the people of India as a result of which the evolutionary breakthrough is being delayed. Clinging to old systems is a terrible obstruction for Supramental.
It's commonly believed that Sri Aurobindo synthesised different religions and philosophies. But the truth is, he reinterprated traditional wisdom and reformulated them according to modern environment. But most of it is meant for intellectual exercise. His own contribution is new.
At a time when the strengths, weaknesses, and relevance of different political parties are being analysed threadbare, intellectuals should give a thought to Savitri Era Party (2007) which seeks to foreground the revolutionary knowledge of 1914 given by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Those interested in meditation can visit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi Branch near NCERT which holds regular group activities.
Their YouTube channel is at @SriAurobindoAshramDelhiBranch
Hindutva may have contributed towards hubris but the hatred inherent in it can't be a help towards spirituality. This election therefore is an opportunity for restoring rationality and civility. The choice is whether to stick to the old ways of Vivekananda or follow Sri Aurobindo.
The anti-evolutionary nature of Hindutva and Vivekananda should be clearly understood in the light of elaborate explanations of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. I have been alerting not to associate Vivekananda, uncrtically, with the Vedic evolutionary paradigm of Sri Aurobindo.
Meditation requires a robust bulwark of right knowledge for navigating the mind and consciousness. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore spoke about the dynamic meditation making a fixed posture redundant. Being conversant with the planes and parts of Being is necessary for result.
Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo should be cautious against various disinformation campaigns unleashed by Modi's devotees. All are free to claim divinity and establish new religions like Ambedkar. So, Savitri Era Religion is very particular about its own distinct identity.
A day to remember Harkishan singh Surjit.
Now that there is a slim chance of the opposition capturing power, it must be admitted that their combined effort in putting up a fight was praiseworthy. But this alliance business can't be a credible affair in a vast country like India. Savitri Era Party has the right ideology.
What Sri Aurobindo did and what exactly he said or wrote is less important for devotees than realising who he is since The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine. It is a matter of faith but can be arrived at by diligent study of their writings.
History has academic value but being a prisoner of any metanarrative is a disability. Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo teaches to be futuristic in approach and aspiration. Thinking in terms of national or racial boundaries is against the spirit of the #FiveDreams.
Lessons on life skills and psychology are so abundantly available these days that one may not be impressed by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's books. But the secret is reading them amounts to evolutionary trigger or adventure of consciousness. Reciting Savitri too has the same effect.
Being a devotee of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo for the last sixty years has been a great blessing. Apart from navigating through different political and intellectual phases, their teaching has helped to tread an alternative course of life. Communicating it has been satisfying too.
It's easy to understand the philosophy and yoga of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Hitler represented anti-evolutionary forces and wanted to bring an end to the human civilisation. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo defeated him through yogic power and rescued the world by reversing his plan.

Transformatory paradigm of 1914
Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956), President, Savitri Era Party (2007) and Founder Savitri Era Religion (2006)
It's undeniable that India has lost respect during the Modi tenure. While he was trying his best to act as a seasoned statesman through his costumes, lack of intellectual muscle was apparent. The ideology his party represents is medieval and obscurantist. The lost ten years, alas!
I don't agree that Modi is autocratic or megalomaniac by nature. He used these methods to gain supremacy in the party. Indira Gandhi had to split Congress. Modi was in a similar situation and rivals were many. But not addressing a press conference spread his image as an ignorant.
Like Indira Gandhi, he tried to draw power directly from the people by bypassing the party. He showed that he is not accountable to media. All part of image build up. But when ennui sets in and fatigue occurs, votes also dry up. Perhaps that stage has arrived thanks to democracy.
This is the fourth revolution I'm witnessing. I supported and worked for the JP movement. I also supported the nationwide campaign of V.P. Singh. I had supported Kejriwal's agitation for a while. Present electoral fight for unseating Modi, accentuated by DR's videos, is momentous.
Congress has started pondering over ideology and seems willing to rectify past mistakes of eclipsing many streams of thought. Still neither Congress nor Hindutva can be relied upon for a right kind of narrative. Savitri Era Party is trying to incorporate Sri Aurobindo's viewpoint.
Many educated Indians have wasted precious years of their lives by chasing the mirage of Hindutva ideology. They should rethink their priorities in the wake up electoral loss. Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) are right avenues for all with modern mentality.
Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo gives clarity on things and raises the quality of one's perception. Old narratives start fading and new possibilities open up. Savitri Era Party has been offering this alternative since 2007 and many have benefited from its campaign.
Sri Aurobindo was missing in the school text books as a result of which two three generations couldn't know about him. Media coverage of him too was negligible. Books and journal articles never quoted him. Politicians were totally unaware of him. But I know for the last 60 years.
Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be compared with Vivekananda, Tagore, Subhas, or Gandhi. Nor with Ambedkar, Savarkar, Lohia, or Periyar. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine without any connection with any past religion or philosophy. Worshipping other gods is forbidden.
Unlike the Socialists, Communists in India were against the castes. But, interestingly, they have been together in fighting BJP which took up the Hindu plank. Thus, Mandal vs Kamandal war continues. Besides, BJP couldn't enrol the secular and liberal section of Hindus of Congress.
Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine when uncertainty and incompleteness were in vogue through Quantum physics. They also crept into philosophy through Deconstruction and postmodernism. The evolutionary schema of Sri Aurobindo is also open ended but it's firm on Harmony as outcome.
The basic principle is our equality as human beings and citizens of a democratic country. Spreading hatred against others in the pretext of some tribalism can't have a better validity. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent human unity and world peace. Following them can transform.
Two books of Sri Aurobindo are very important. They are, The Life Divine and The Synthesis of Yoga. It's not necessary to understand the content but just reading them page after page can bring a very different kind of experience. Many don't believe in spirituality but it changes.
Many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo feel that politics is dirty but to vote for the right party is also a responsibility. I have been making it clear that Hindutva is opposed to our ideal and authoritarian tendencies of Modi are anti-democratic in nature. Change is needed.
After many years, this lane in front of our flat saw some repairs. May be due to elections.
This may not be the first election to be fought on social media but the rise of the YouTube channels as the voice of the opposition has been phenomenal. Their growth has been organic and in a fiercely competitive environment. Alternative viewpoints are indispensable for democracy.
Economic issues are more dominant in this election than emotional issues like religion. Secondly, the threat to Constitution has become a significant talking point. BJP has atrophied by being enamelled by Modi who has no worthwhile qualities except acting. Let's pray for a new PM.
Savitri Era Religion is a global phenomenon. Countless people worldwide have been inspired by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their direct disciples who were both scholars as well as devotees. Savitri Era Party too doesn't insist on borders when seeking human unity and world peace.
The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo shouldn't be identified with Ashram, its branch in Delhi, or different Centres. Each place has some good features but also some undesirable aspects. So learning from books is the best way in this path. Lots of videos also are available.
In the ontology of Sri Aurobindo, the world and all that is happening in the flow of time are seamlessly Divine. History, therefore, has evolutionary significance. But when it comes to yoga, willful forgetting has many advantages. In politics too selective amnesia is a necessity.
Followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't have read the traditional Sanskrit texts or books of Western philosophy. The Secret of the Veda is the most original contribution of Sri Aurobindo which needs to be digested by all Indians. Mythology and rituals are rendered outdated.
Congress had corrupted the minds of people in the last century and Hindutva has corrupted the minds of the people in this century. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and reading their books is the only way for acquiring the right worldview and narrative. incarnateword.in/cwsa
Apart from the Partition, the Constitution of India divided the country into two factions of citizens. The Scheduled Castes and Tribes and the rest of the people. India can never become a modern nation unless everyone is entitled to equal treatment. Creamy layer shouldn't benefit.
Everyone is an expert on Advaita Vedanta. They are also aware of Kashmir Shaivism. But reading The Life Divine of Sri Aurobindo can teach much more than the traditional commentators. Understanding the inner significance of Veda is also crucial for a complete ontological picture.
Political philosophy and politics are two different arenas. Theoretically all sorts of ethics can be signalled but in practice things don't work out that way. The reason being involvement of human beings who are work in process. Sri Aurobindo's yoga and spirituality is a catalyst.
Elections are entertainment too. Saw thousands of people on both sides of the road as a roadshow was underway. Massive mobilisation of people. Money and power hold the sway and not any independent judgement of an individual. So, to call it as the wisdom of the crowd is debatable.
Ramdev and Kejriwal's agitations prepared the ground for Modi's ascent. Riots and Mayawati's division of votes in UP enabled him to become the Prime Minister. So the mandate was not earned by him. But greatness of Hindutva throwing such a person for the top post is disappointing.
Savitri Era Party respects Western philosophy and the Enlightenment values that have shaped the Indian Constitution. The history of democracy as a Western product is also of paramount importance. It also appreciates Bengal Renaissance for creating the foundations of modern India.
Savitri Era Religion is the most suitable religion for the future. The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provides the best intellectual and emotional satisfaction. Worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the best protection from the tyranny of mythology and rituals.
Hindutva supporters don't recognise the preeminence of Sri Aurobindo and always try to show him as one among many others. They also don't give any importance to The Mother. Savitri Era Religion and Savitri Era Party endeavour to rectify such a narrative by establishing uniqueness.
As it's becoming more and more clear that Congress will be a part of the next govt at the Centre, Savitri Era Party is buffeted by mixed feelings. While riddance from Hindutva and Modi is a great relief, there's nothing to expect from Dynasty vis-à-vis The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Hindutva has many voices and different ideological nuaces are being added continuously. But unfortunately there's no systematic presentation of the ideas or any authorised version of its vision. Absence of competent scholars and lack of foundational books makes it a free for all.
Sri Aurobindo's writings are full of intellectual stimuli in different disciplines of Humanities. So, academic scrutiny of his ideas will continue. But the role of devotees is different. Knowing various implications of his philosophy is important, but it's subordinate to loyalty.
Followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo suffer from a lot of confusion and, hence, are unable to express their opinions freely on this platform. My posts don't have much reach as a result of which people are wallowing in their own ignorance. Some pose as scholars without reading.
There was no Internet and there was no money to buy books. Going to listen to a lecture were few and far between. A few periodicals were there which satisfied the intellectual hunger. Now all books are available online but people are reluctant to read. Genuine appreciation absent.
So many people put all their eggs in Modi's basket. They thought he would be there for ever but when the chickens come home to roost, it will leave a bad taste in their mouths. Irrespective of the outcome of the elections BJP has undergone transformation during the last one month.
Many Hindutva hardliners have been criticising Modi and, in that sense, Modi can be considered as a liberal. But his one man show for building charisma has created an atmosphere of autocracy. There's no other formula for winning elections and, hence, political dynasties flourish.
The theory that Gandhi represents the aspirations of most Indians is wrong. Savitri Era Party (2007) has been opposing AAP, BJP, and Congress on firm ideological grounds. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the only way for fruition of #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947.
The most essential book to know Sri Aurobindo is, Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo by Nirodbaran. His other books are Sri Aurobindo's Humour, Sri Aurobindo for All Ages, Sri Aurobindo - A dream-dialogue with children, and Memorable Contacts with The Mother.
Many here exhibit exemplary creativity and confidence but lack an equally sound ideology. Most Indians haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books leading to an intellectual anaemia. Savitri Era Party (2007) has been recommending the right ideological formulation based on his #FiveDreams.
Political parties work for their own interests but analysts and intellectuals offering patently partisan opinions is not conducive to a vibrant civil society. Universities are cauldron of freedom of expression but how to distill truth and objectivity is also their responsibility.
Around a dozen channels are predicting Modi's downfall although there's no empirical data to support. Young leaders in UP and Bihar seem to have an edge. These two States will decide the results. But the Dynasty has many demerits and, therefore, running a coalition won't be easy.
When Mamata Banerjee accused the monks of BSS, RKM, and ISKCON for indulging in politics, it must have some truth. It's unfortunate that many devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are supporters of Modi. Savitri Era Party has been showing the right political direction since 2007.
I was born in a Hindu family but developed distaste for mythology and rituals from an early age. After knowing about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in 1964, I accepted them as god. For legal purposes, I started Savitri Era Religion in 2006. Also formed the Savitri Era Party in 2007.
Most people are busy with their careers and social relations which tend to mould their philosophical or spiritual orientations. But followers and devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo need to take care not to be swayed by popular sentiments. Not to worship other gods, essential.
All this seems to be an ad campaign for the car!
Many Hindutva supporters feel relaxed now as the chance of being relieved from carrying the Modi burden during the last twelve years brighten. Many had very high hopes of India achieving glory on a Hindu template but that has been proved false. So time to return to Sri Aurobindo.
Development is a valid political goal but from the evolutionary ontological view competing with other nations in economic or military terms may not be an assured enterprise. The same is true for Varna diversity or disparity. Reading Sri Aurobindo’s explanations can clarify doubts.
Karma is an important theme in both The Life Divine and Savitri. Even The Problem of Rebirth remained incomplete and unrevised. So deriving any firm view on it from Sri Aurobindo is difficult. Thus the only dependable thesis is Exclusive concentration or The logic of the Infinite.
This election gives a good indication that the 20th century history has scarce relevance today. New ideologies and priorities have to be forged in view of the changed circumstances. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, had foreseen such a transformatory paradigm way back in 1914.
YouTube news is flourishing due to the elections and, especially, because there is no conspicuous wave for any side. So, it's a field day for speculations with spices like RSS withdrawal thrown in. The kind of crowds seen in UP and Bihar is not possible without RSS participation.
Savitri Era Religion, which believes in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine, has millions of devotees all over the world. Savitri is an epic by Sri Aurobindo which deals with the futuristic theme of conquering death. The Life Divine by him predicts social harmony.
Democracy is a good thing. The idea of people electing their ruler is highly comforting. But the modalities of election process is not that innocent. The system of addressing huge rallies amounts to performance and logistics on industrial scale. Electronic or digital media better.
Prapatti was instrumental for dissemination of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy throughout Odisha which boasts of thousands of Centres today. When I came to Bhubaneswar for College studies, I got to attend many meetings w.r.t. Birth Centenary celebrations of Sri Aurobindo.
My mother tongue and medium of instruction being Odia, I haven't read, practically, any text in Sanskrit. Grounding in Sri Aurobindo’s writings rendered all that's available in Sanskrit redundant. Thus Sanskrit is dispensable in the modern environment. One can learn Odia, instead.
Bengali educated persons can be appreciative of European languages but are indifferent towards Odia. Hindi songs are widely appreciated in Bengal but not an iota of sympathy for Odia music. The popular Rangabati song has been remade in Bengali instead of enjoying the original.
With access to Web, I started Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) in 2005, when online coverage of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo was poor. I also launched Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) to give a formal identity to an alternative narrative running since 1914.
Sri Aurobindo wrote The Life Divine and The Human Cycle for understanding the world intellectually. I have been interpreting current affairs in this light under the banner of Savitri Era Party since 2007. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent human unity and harmony and not hatred.
Sri Aurobindo has explained seven types of ignorance and not reading his books can be considered as the eighth category. They can be forgiven; "but thrice woe to them" who have read but, deliberately, try to misinterpret to suit their political preference.

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo's philosophy took a decisive turn

Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956), President, Savitri Era Party (2007) and Founder, Savitri Era Religion (2006), SRA-102-C, Shipra Riviera, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, UP
India must be reclaimed as belonging to its people and not any one religion or caste. Savitri Era Party follows the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo which teaches universality and harmony. Both Marxist and Hindutva narratives need to be thrown out. incarnateword.in/cwsa
Savitri Era Religion worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and believes that all past religions based on mythology and rituals are going to collapse. Reading The Secret of the Veda clarifies why spirituality and adventure of consciousness are evolutionary.
Many erudite people will attribute the downslide of BJP to its neglect of core Hindutva issues but a more rigorous intellectual scrutiny would point to the direction of Sri Aurobindo. BJP did exactly the same as Congress to Sri Aurobindo and his #FiveDreams. Consequences follow!
June 4 will end all the fun and hence now is the time for all speculation and wishful thinking. Modi evidently has forfeited his right to be the PM through his spiteful utterances. BJP may choose a Bengali as the next PM if it comes to power. Nitish Kumar can hold INDIA together.
Good reading material can shape mind. So the first step is to avoid Vivekananda. Then resisting to read R.C. Majumdar, Ram Swarup, Sita Ram Goel, or Arun Shourie is necessary. One can start with a book on Sri Aurobindo by Roshen Dalal. The Secret of the Veda by him is a must read.
Follow The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and join Savitri Era Party. That's the best way to serve the country. Reading their philosophy amounts to collaborating with evolutionary force for descent of Supramental consciousness. This is one field where India can show the path to the world.
Ambedkar is a renowned intellectual but he had no chance of reading Sri Aurobindo. His followers, consequently, are ignorant of Sri Aurobindo. Savarkar, similarly, was indifferent towards Sri Aurobindo, and as a result, his admirers are driving the country in the wrong direction.
After Modi fiasco, Hindutva will implode. Its intellectuals are already in disarray. No concrete benefits can be shown to have been achieved. The image of India has gone down drastically as espousing medieval obscurantism. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the savior in such a case.
Lakhs of people have been misled during the last two decades. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF) has been active since 2005 to correct the Marxist and Hindutva narratives. The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aims at Vedic evolutionary immortality.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine and are unrelated to any past system of mythology or philosophy. Even, their own writings and conversations don't adequately explain their divinity, but the faith and devotion of their followers has been a growing phenomenon.
BJP can perform much better if Modi resigns and a new leader executes course correction. Otherwise, Modi is helping Dynasty to capture power. Modi should realise that his shelf life has expired and people are being repulsed by the foul odour. No one can be PM forever and he won't
Savitri Era Religion is obliged to him for his illuminating verdict in the Auroville case. [A Marxist in the Supreme Court: Justice Chinnappa Reddy]
Savitri Era Religion is meant for all those who worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and refrain from paying obeisance to other gurus or gods and goddesses. Savitri Era Party however is for all who oppose AAP, BJP, and Congress and resist Hindutva and Left.
All available indications suggest exit of Modi. That would be a great development for Indian democracy. Brazen promotion of personality cult coupled with blind sycophancy by educated people has become a blot on image of modern India. Savitri Era Party has been demanding two terms
All life is yoga means all life is a constant and continuous search for spirituality. Each one's path and pace are different. One learns from, and grows with, all kinds of circumstances. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, under Savitri Era Religion, forms a dependable anchor.
Watching videos on The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has become common but reading their books has multifarious advantages. Even holding a book is better than reading online. Strong intellectual development and critical reasoning is important in this path. That's being a fit instrument.
Crimes can be investigated but the sociological dimensions, in all their hues, should also receive adequate interrogation. That's where Humanities scholars are important and not the outrage types. A step further would be to consult the yogic insights of Sri Aurobindo, his poetry.
RSS justifiably is more aligned to RKM than The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Savitri Era Religion is drastically different from the priorities of Hindutva. In The Secret of the Veda, Sri Aurobindo has explained the futility of mythology and rituals. A must read incarnateword.in/cwsa/15
With his crude remarks towards a section of the citizens, Modi has downgraded himself considerably. Sri Aurobindo wrote The Human Cycle and The Ideal of Human Unity to describe the kind of future he is interested in. Savitri Era Party invites all to follow incarnateword.in/cwsa/25
Many learned persons fight for Hindutva and India but unfortunately they haven't read Sri Aurobindo's books. They also find fault with other religions. In his The Synthesis of Yoga, Sri Aurobindo has shown the commonality of different spiritual traditions. incarnateword.in/cwsa/23
Supreme Court awarding added legitimacy to marriage rituals is ridiculous. It should favour modernity and invoke Sri Aurobindo for understanding the hollowness of rituals and the institution of priests. Lifestyle choices should be free from the stranglehold of outdated religions.
Google News has become staid. Shuffling of stories is very poor. YouTube rather has become a more vibrant informer of news and analyses. A system of showing latest uploads instead of highest viewed can make it more dependable. But misleading captions are a big nuisance in YouTube.
Any theorising on Indian politics should consider Indians as Indians and not merely Hindus. That's the basic flaw.
Sure, Dear Emperor! Godspeed!
Reading wrong books can corrupt your mind and corrode your intelligence. Listening to provocative podcasts can rob you of sanity by turning into a fanatic. Earning a sound background in the philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore is the safest course for young Indians.
Should be forgiven as experiment with truth of the age of Internet.
Philosophy helps to understand the macro view as against the immediate street view. Empirical evidence therefore is not a sure guide for arriving at the truth. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo exhorted to open towards the inner reality of things and the interconnectedness of our lives.
When Sri Aurobindo was deeply involved in political activities, The Mother was receiving guidance in occultism from Max Théon in Tlemcen, Algeria. Sri Aurobindo had left Kolkata in 1910 and The Mother came to Puducherry to meet him on March 29, 1914. Savitri Era Religion was born.
I don't know how far your diagnosis is accurate but your desire for Peace seems to be sincere. I don't have any solution to offer but since I have read the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo I believe strongly that they alone are the solution. They have clearly predicted Harmony.
Modi promoted personal aura as he understands well that BJP on its own is not capable of capturing power. He won elections with the help of unusual circumstances but today almost everyone in BJP is against him. Further, he prefers defeat to anyone else from BJP becoming the PM.
All political parties and different religions are championing their own narratives. Savitri Era Party and Savitri Era Religion, similarly, have very clear agenda. Indians must understand that there is no other way of achieving harmony than following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Adding Sri to the name of Sri Aurobindo is as important as mentioning The Mother before his name since both are the one Supreme Divine. Looking at him from the political or historical perspective is less important than his adventure of consciousness or quest for Vedic immortality.
When a Chief Minister allowed a mob to forcibly demolish a Masjid, the Constitution of India got demolished. Similarly, when a Chief Minister was arrested on presumptive crimes, the Judiciary was demolished. Citing mythology for ethics has no meaning if such instances perpetuate.
Those who are most concerned about diversity are also very particular about their own ecosystem. So, ultimately, it's about human nature, self-interest, and tribal instincts. Ideologies based primarily on socioeconomic issues can't be successful since the evolutionary aim differs.
Every detail of Sri Aurobindo's life has been documented and published. Many books have already been written on him. So, what do you want now? One has to accept him as he was and not judge him on the basis of some imaginary template.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo stressed on evolution as a means for a better future thereby ending the debate on existence of god. The Hegelian concept of time and history got its due justification. A new teleology and panpsychism took root. The Vedic aim of immortality was rekindled.
Having lived under the rule of all Prime Ministers, I rate V.P. Singh as the best. As the nation goes for the Third phase of Lok Sabha polls today, let's pray for a new Prime Minister who matches his ethics and compassion. A person from grassroots without any false metanarrative.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine who have been giving an intellectual as well as political alternative since 1914. Indians must understand its significance and evolutionary inevitability and apply it in all spheres of life. Current leaders are ignorant of it.
India has been suffering since 1990 in the wake of the temple movement. The best ideology to counter Hindutva is Sri Aurobindo. But neither the Congress nor the Dalits realise this truth as a result of which BJP manages to hoodwink the people. Savitri Era Party spreads awareness.
@bijli @Krupakar_m @RupaSubramanya @nilanjanaroy So the solution is to go for self-study of Sri Aurobindo's works whatever one's profession.
Coming in contact with The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's teachings sixty years back was like a revolution. The changing landscape of life through its various phases hasn't dented that feeling. Today when we are listening about AI so much, Supramental consciousness seems more relevant.
End of Modi rule will also be the end of Hindutva and he will be remembered for sabotaging it. Young persons will no longer fall prey to the propaganda machine of RSS. Let's hope that genuine interest in Sri Aurobindo develops and mere economic issues don't dominate our politics.
It's unfortunate that Sam Pitroda is being criticised on flimsy grounds. Anyone can notice the resemblances that he talked about and people don't understand that taking umbrage rather amounts to being racist. In any case Savitri Era Party has been demanding Sovereignty for States.
I'm from Odisha and in the family we discuss that we look like the Chinese, to some extent. I don't know how it's insulting to my existence. When I came to Delhi, I found the physical appearance of the people here to be drastically different. I thought it may be due to Alexander!
To say that Modi is megalomaniac and narcissistic in nature may not be accurate since he used these strategies for capturing power and eliminating his rivals and adversaries in party. His campaign was modelled on Obama and he knew the power of optics well. Political compulsions!
Many in the Hindutva camp are happy. They are good at criticism but their own govt provided very little scope. When an INDIA govt becomes a reality on June 4, they can go hammer and tongs. Whining and lambasting is what they can do so well. But after Modi, BJP is going to split.
Hindutva has been a threat since 1990, but became widely acceptable due to Kulkarni Doctrine. Modi, however, has emerged as an independent threat. His comparison to Fascism or Hitler may be unfair but his style of functioning and language is abhorrent. His exit is a great relief.
A general misconception is that all religions or philosophies are the same. There might be some truth in it but to ignore all new streams may not be prudent. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have created a new path for the whole mankind which all politicians should follow. #SavitriEra
So many have identified Modi with India, Hindutva, or BJP so much that they feel crestfallen. It's like an After Nehru who? moment. Now that he is going in a month, RSS ecosystem is working hard on a best scenario situation. It will certainly want to keep Dynasty out. So Kejriwal
Savitri Era Party (2007) is opposed to AAP, BJP, and Congress. Savitri Era Religion (2006) worships The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF - 2005) has been striving for propagating Sri Aurobindo's philosophy which is unparalleled.
Only the followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are aware of the significance of evolution vis-à-vis current affairs or history. Secular or rational approach is to look at events as determined by human beings but a devotee of Savitri Era Religion takes it as divine intervention.
Election results can go either way and speculations will continue till June 4. Defeating Modi is good for democracy and the country. Interestingly, it's also good for BJP. Demolishing the painstakingly cultivated Modi cult through a fiercely fought election will be a good lesson.
BJP and RSS love to highlight emotional issues more than the economic ones. But Modi attempted to replace all other issues by putting himself at the centre of people's emotions. Unfortunately, this leveraging ensued from the violence unleashed in 2002. So, a change is inevitable.
Attributing the cause of one's own difficulties to some other person, gender, caste, religion, or nation is an easy and lazy solution. The more complex philosophical reason as explained by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is that each one's position is as scripted in the evolutionary play.
Many express misgivings about Sri Aurobindo being the greatest teacher or philosopher. Resolving this problem is not possible without reading the 36 volumes of The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo. incarnateword.in/cwsa
Besides, Collected Works of the Mother and Mother's Agenda are there.

Sri Aurobindo's philosophy took a decisive turn

Savitri Era: No apparent division between religious and secular

India's Rebirth is a compilation of quotations from Sri Aurobindo's writings but was not published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram. This mischievous book has corrupted minds of countless readers. Sri Aurobindo: The Life and Teachings of a Revolutionary Philosopher by Roshen Dalal is good. https://www.amazon.in/Sri-Aurobindo-Teachings-Revolutionary-Philosopher-ebook/dp/B0CD7QRPH4
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the one Supreme Divine. Evaluating their roles along with other great men has very little relevance. If one reads their books in a comparative context, then there's every possibility of missing their real significance. Faith and loyalty is essential.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo unveiled a new paradigm of knowledge and life in 1914. They emphasised that it's part of evolutionary inevitability and everyone, eventually, will be forced to adopt what looks to be impossible today. Technological developments don't tell the full story.
Fierce debate in going on over atheism and Hindutva stalwarts seem confused. Savitri Era Religion invites all to its fold to partake of the wisdom of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. They have cleared all philosophical doubts and riddles in 1914 which anyone can consult with profit.
Current election has triggered vigorous guessing game with both sides claiming to cross 250. Looks like it may be a reality and tiny parties will be in great demand for govt formation. In such a scenario, narratives will be reformulated and the federal spirit will get rejuvenated.
The most damaging also.
Sri Aurobindo launched Arya in 1914 which dealt with humanities. Reading his books can revise perceptions. incarnateword.in/cwsa
Distribution of resources is being debated today but not on economic lines, alone. Religion is very much in the picture and claws are out in the open. Savitri Era Religion, deriving inspiration from the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, offers the most suitable ideology.
Culture or nurture is considered an advancement over nature.
Apart from the focus on Charvaka, Sanatan vs Dravidian debate is simmering as part of the election campaign. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provided a new philosophical formulation in 1914 and Savitri Era Party invites all to follow it so that the ancient contradictions get resolved.
It's immaterial which party says what. Parliament is supreme and what it enacts should be debated. There are hundreds of checks and balances in our system. So keeping faith on modalities of democracy is important. Spreading unnecessary panic is not in the interest of the country.
Savitri Era Religion is an intellectual adventure and political leap. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo prepare the mind continously for higher ideals and universal truths. One no longer feels chained to the narrow confines of a nation, caste, or religion. A truly liberating experience.
Evolution of BJP from RSS, Jana Sangh, SVD, Janata Party, and Vajpayee-Advani era to the present Modi-Shah Pvt Ltd Co is as tragic as the gradual degeneration of Congress. It would appear that democracy is an impossible ideal and what we actually get is perversion and debasement.
Savitri Era Religion believes in Integral Advaita enunciated by Sri Aurobindo and accordingly even the current political goings on are deemed as ordained evolutionarily. The Prime Minister hitting a new low in public discourse may be one such example of how a turning point comes.
I haven't read many books apart from Sri Aurobindo's and some on philosophy. I haven't read, for instance, William Dalrymple, Amish Tripathi, Vikram Seth, Vikram Sampath, Devdutt Pattanaik, APJ Abdul Kalam, Shobhaa De, Chetan Bhagat, Bibek Debroy, Sanjeev Sanyal, or J Sai Deepak.
The Mother's final arrival in Puducherry on April 24, 1920 is a red letter day in the history of India. It's observed as a Darshan Day in Savitri Era Religion. Sri Aurobindo's philosophy took a decisive turn towards the worship of The Mother. They both are the one Supreme Divine.
Savitri Era Party suppots Sam Pitroda for suggesting review of policies relating to the creamy layer. He is being derided like V.P. Singh but ultimately every party will have to adopt these revolutionary measures. His connection with poorer part of Odisha is of special importance.
South Kolkata also.
I have witnessed many streams of political and economic ideologies flourishing in our country during the last sixty years. They are in flux and nothing has stabilised. The only path that I have never been able to lose faith on is that of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. My gratitude!
Spreading hatred has become so normalised that the concept of treating all citizens equally has practically vanished. So everyone has to be a representative of a specific caste, religion, or language. No common existence or universal feeling. Constitution is a worthless document!
Body should be exempted from criticism.
Savitri Era Religion believes in the divinity of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and their predictions. Current political phase in India is clearly a case of degeneration and aberration. Financial and intellectual corruption are all pervasive. Let's pray for some higher consciousness.
Sandeep Balakrishna is giving a series of video lectures on Marxist destruction of Indian history. Dhruv Rathee in his latest video is explaining how millions of Indians are being brainwashed by Hindutva propaganda on the lines of Hitler. Reading Sri Aurobindo can bust distortion.
Greed and hostility can't be the motivation for healthy politics. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo therefore endeavoured for transformation of human nature. Descent of Supramental consciousness is the only means for such a prospect for which aspiration, rejection, and surrender needed.
Modi has repeatedly proved being incapable of representing the lofty spirit of Indian Constitution. He has also destroyed the collective leadership concept in BJP. His preference for certain industrialists has cost him dearly. It's unfortunate that so many people want him again.
One can love the country and his or her religion but to equate both with Modi is nothing but fanaticism. To give the devil his due, Modi is regularly criticised by some for not doing enough for the Hindus, and in that sense, he has kept the hawks at bay. But he is ceeding space!
Savitri Era Party demands maximum two terms for CMs and PMs. Thankfully, Indian voters have ensured that no Prime Minister enjoys such a luxury after Nehru and Indira Gandhi. INDIA has many PM aspirants but Nitish Kumar joining it for top post can't be ruled out. India needs him.
Modi had nurtured a very strong image of having a sagely detachment towards money. Public loved him as being incorruptible. But the Electoral bonds exposure has shattered the trust. He is perceived to be an impostor. His supporters pretend to forget the issue. But the die is cast!
I have been an observer of politics since 1966 when Harekrushna Mahatab left Congress and later Biju Patnaik followed suit. Significantly, that trend has never stopped. BJP should have turned a mainstream descendant of JP movement but misplaced emphasis on religion has spoiled it.
Modi needs to be defeated to prove that Hindutva has run its course. Politics should aim at abolishing reservations so that all are treated equal. Dynastic parties should be extinct like Dinosaurs. States should be granted Sovereignty on linguistic basis under a loose federation.
Most people are drunk on the hope of seeing a strong India but my priority is ethics. There should be ample transparency and accountability adorning out democracy. The Prime Minister not addressing a single press conference is sacrilegious. Modi is unfit to govern on this ground.
Savitri Era Party considers Hindutva as anti-evolutionary in the light of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Modi has displayed utter intellectual bankruptcy and political unscrupulousness validating this. After 77 years of Independence, Indians deserve mature politics and institutions.
I check hundreds of handles but finding some non-partisan view is simply impossible. Reading the books of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo has helped me to be wary of motivated narratives. Reasonable acquaintance with Western philosophy prompts me not to be impressed by smart analyses.
