Sri Aurobindo arms us with a different Jantar Mantar

Tweets 2h - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty - @swaraj_india @SandeepWeb @orsoraggiante @dubash Welcome. Hope, Sri Aurobindo's views too features, but suspect inadequate awareness of him.  View conversation
4h - @shivsBHARAT Please read the opinions of Sri Aurobindo on India and the World to acquire authentic insights on our role for future evolution.  View conversation
4h Spelling was sacred and committing any mistake was criminal, but now it’s being demolished with vengeance on the web. Impatience with past.
4h If tablets & smart phones are evolving then human body too must be changing albeit in a slow pace. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo unlid mystery.
5h - Perennial Hindutva confines itself within a geographical-mythological boundary; looks upon the Other as adversary. Sri Aruobindo breaks open
5h - Perennial Hindutva aims at salvation, Sri Aurobindo targets evolution and emphasizes upon the essentiality of agency and his participation.
5h - @Team_CRI The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the most potent soft-power India possesses and a suitable religio-political ecosystem is a must.  View conversation
23h - @kiran_patniak Now that the Team has gone political, it's better to adopt political instinct and avoid public criticism.  View conversation
5 Aug Many attribute the latest salvo by Advani to leadership rift in BJP but the real reason is ideological confusion involving Kulkarni doctrine.
5 Aug - @swaraj_india Sri Aurobindian ontology resolves scores of theological disputes and provides a faultless framework for matters of belief.  View conversation
5 Aug - @sabhlok We too welcome their decision to enter electoral arena and hope that Team Anna prefers to join Savitri Era Party.@kiran_patniak -  View conversation
5 Aug Prejudice must not deprive us of perfection. Sri Aurobindo's scholarship is unsurpassable & let's spot the treasure and taste it's delight.
5 Aug Honest persons become corrupt over a period of time blaming system. Sri Aurobindo helps reverse the process through yoga of transformation.
5 Aug Sri Aurobindo is the only anchor around whom a dependable collective can take shape that abhors corruption. Only he offers a robust theory.
5 Aug 2014 is also "Arya" Centenary that gave us The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga etc. All need read these instead of idly waiting for Modot
5 Aug - @RisingIndiawins Please read a slim title "The Riddle of the World" by Sri Aurobindo and find out how the unseen world perceived as reality.  View conversation
5 Aug Disregarding trivia and respecting knowledge should be constant pursuit. Reciting a couple of lines from Savitri can be immensely ennobling.
5 Aug Even Shankaracharya erred in interpreting the Ishopanishad, says Sri Aurobindo. Sayana too was found wanting by him in deciphering the Vedas
5 Aug Sri Aurobindo is the most authentic voice of Indian wisdom and it's the duty of the present generation to hearken to him and prevent pigmies
5 Aug Reading 40 volumes of Sri Aurobindo's works should be everyone's target to commemorate his 140th Birthday on #August15. 140 characters over.
5 Aug - @doctoratlarge @RisingIndiawins Sri Aurobindo is sure remedy for such scepticism. But one must be willing to read even with critical faculty.  View conversation
5 Aug The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo may not have earned the status of essential reading by Hindutva votaries and experts but it should.
4 Aug - @swaraj_india A better way of looking at it would be to study whether a set-up can at all be called democratic when women head it & rule men.  View conversation
4 Aug - @SandeepWeb @malviyamit Well, Sri Aurobindo used to welcome criticism. View conversation
4 Aug - @SandeepWeb @malviyamit Because he is well versed with the writings of Sri Aurobindo which natives abhor. View conversation
4 Aug Political issues are not stand alone phenomena. Apart from the sociological diagnosis probing from the evolutionary angle is also essential.
4 Aug This reveals how right theory & ideology is crucial for any journey as a minor deviation in direction might lead to being left high and dry.
4 Aug Team Anna fiasco though an eye-opener as regards harnessing media is also a great disappointment in terms of policy obscurity and confusion.
4 Aug Why no one is talking about the Venkatachaliah constitutional review committee report is a mystery. -Tusar N. Mohapatra http://savitriera.blogspot.in/2011/06/anna-hazare-baba-ramdev-border-on.html …
4 Aug The appearance of Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev in the political firmament of India borders on the bizarre. June 01, 2011 http://savitriera.blogspot.in/2011/06/anna-hazare-baba-ramdev-border-on.html …
4 Aug - @acorn @bibekdebroy Essays on the Gita by Sri Aurobindo presents a different perspective that is apt for mature minds wrestling with ethics.  View conversation
3 Aug - @vsengupta @ashutoshibn7 I'm pained that JP and VP are being jibed at. Regardless of what they actually achieved, great leaders were they.  View conversation
3 Aug - @KanchanGupta What happened is less important than what V.P. Singh stood for and why some people will always revere him like their Messiah.  View conversation
2 Aug - @_R_Srikanth Please don't bilittle JP's knowledge base and his life long quest for a just soceity.  View conversation
3 Aug - @acorn Premature verdict. Let's wait for them to take food first and then confer.  View conversation
3 Aug That's how we are different from all other parties and carve out a niche which is the most plausible route our polity will logically take.

3 Aug No party in India is in good shape. Team Anna should first devise a suitable framework for successful running of a party & electing leaders.
3 Aug Opacity of policy has been the bane of political scene in India and alliances have worsened it. Team Anna should specify their all leanings.
3 Aug Forming a political party and contesting elections are not exactly the same thing. Team Anna should first formulate definite stand on issues.
3 Aug The name of Sri Aurobindo may not inspire assured electoral dividends at the moment but we are confident of garnering a large constituency.
3 Aug No excitement or curiosity in India today for the new & innovative. Waiting for Modot is a safe game that is indulged in by most lazy minds.
3 Aug - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty No political party understands Sri Aurobindo's vision. His words are a century old but breath fresh air to jaded rhetoric blowing currently.
3 Aug The Vedic imperative is to reclaim cosmic light & knowledge. Sri Aurobindo unravels great mystery of self-empowerment sans self-abnegation.
3 Aug Faith & freedom are crucial for individual fulfilment. Skewed secularism that encourages atheism, anarchy & anomie requires to be thwarted.
3 Aug Mere morality & austerity is a poor sibling of enabling spirituality. Not negation & denial but by dynamic grappling with wealth is the key.
3 Aug A wholesome psychological framework grounded in evolution is what Sri Aurobindo offers that acts as an effective antidote against corruption
3 Aug Emancipating spirituality of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as encapsulated in the famous phrase "All Life is Yoga" is a true anchor for ethics.
3 Aug Narrow nationalism & shallow socialism is sure recipe for pushing the country backwards by a Century. Let's follow Sri Aurobindo's 5 DREAMS.
3 Aug Sri Aurobindo is far more relevant today than the compounded confusion perpetrated by Anna, Ramdev, Sri Sri, Agnivesh, and Subramanian Swamy.
3 Aug Anna movement is only 16 months old and absolutely unprecedented. Still people never tire of comparing it with past or predicting its future.
2 Aug Instead of the secular trap, Anna's proposed party should follow the global vision of Sri Aurobindo as outlined in the FIVE DREAMS Manifesto
2 Aug Thus, politics, like economics, is incentive driven but at times owing to sublimation, ethics or charisma substitute gross or the pecuniary.
2 Aug Just like power of exercising violence is transferred to the State in Democracy, certain level of corruption is condoned in case of Monarchy
2 Aug - @kiran_patniak @anku6 @KiranKS Sab kuchh Google search par upalabdh hai, aur is kam me aap mera madad kar sakte hain (janhit ke madde-nazar)  View conversation - 2 Aug - @kiran_patniak @anku6 @KiranKS My suggestion to them is to join Savitri Era Party.  View conversation - 2 Aug - @kiran_patniak @anku6 @KiranKS Please take me seriously: I welcome Team Anna's decision to join electoral politics. But their ideology is faulty.  View conversation - 2 Aug - @kiran_patniak @anku6 @KiranKS You are also agitated today. Read my blog later.
2 Aug As competitors in politics, criticism is normal. 2 Aug The conceptual and ideological base for a successful party for the future has been established. 2 Aug Please Google search and find out its views since 2007.  2 Aug Humne to pahle se Party banake rakhe hain. Aaiye, shamil ho jaiye.  View conversation
2 Aug @kiran_patniak @anku6 It's a new birth for Anna today as he'll undergo political journey in unpredictable routes. So knowing him starts now.  View conversation
2 Aug Anna and Advani are in same boat now with almost identical ideology. So, a huge blow for those fervently waiting for Modot. Bolt from blue.
2 Aug Kejriwal and his fastmates drawing widespread sympathy even from ideological adversaries can be explained as a variant of Stockholm syndrome
2 Aug - @amishra77 Ideological robustness is surely welcome but that NDA came to power on the basis of the Kulkarni Doctrine (Goa musings) is a fact.  View conversation
1 Aug - @orsoraggiante Savitri by Sri Aurobindo sings the ultimate destiny of man informed by the Vedic aspirations for Truth, Light, & Immortality. View conversation - 1 Aug - @orsoraggiante Entire works of Sri Aurobindo including Savitri you can now read online. Autobiographical notes also constitute one volume. 1 Aug - @orsoraggiante For any clarification, my email is tusarnmohapatra@gmail.com @swaraj_india @krishnarjun108 -  View conversation
1 Aug - @gchikermane Beyond Man: The Life and Work of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother by Georges van Vrekhem, however, surpasses both of them in clarity.  View conversation
1 Aug Why such low awareness about Sri Aurobindo? On the one hand there is bias and resistance, but a bigger factor that pervades is ignorance.
1 Aug - @swaraj_india Instead of waiting for the Modot it's preferable to launch our each one's version of a million mutinies like Savitri Era Party.  View conversation
31 Jul It will be August an hour hence,
That saw the advent of the sun upon earth.
In 1872 on 15th to be precise,
Sri Aurobindo chose to take birth.
31 Jul The war against evil or the Vedic stealers of light,
Is a long-drawn one and not of overnight,
Discernment & perseverance need be held tight.
31 Jul For evicting those who backstab Mother India,
Three souls with steely resolve fight on empty stomach,
In a consciousness cleansing operation.
31 Jul - So, who in India today can give shape to the Dreams of Sri Aurobindo? The present scenario is as disappointing as today's grid collapse. But 31 Jul - #August15 is a sure reminder that thirst for light & immortality is of Vedic vintage that this land has carried forward through thick & thin.
31 Jul From Vico & Herder through Kant's Perpetual Peace, ideal of Human Unity has travelled long though bruised by 2 World Wars. Now India's turn.
31 Jul - #August15 has this great dual significance of freedom and fulfilment. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have enjoined upon us Indians for fruition.
31 Jul It's not about being a Superpower or winning Olympics medals. Destiny of India is to march forward towards the Supramental evolution of man.
31 Jul An attitudinal overhaul and an altogether different Jantar Mantar is called for instead of the present puny approach. Sri Aurobindo arms us.
31 Jul Technology has unified the planet. Humanity as a species must endeavour to harness it for psychological unity and eradicate enmity#August15
31 Jul No effort towards unity will go in vain, promise The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Between them they signify the meeting of the East and the West.
31 Jul His words have power, the power of transformation of consciousness thus pushing the unifying urge of evolution forward. Sri Aurobindo leads.
31 Jul No light in India today but Sri Aurobindo assures that India will show light to the world. #August15 is his birthday & let's read his words.
31 Jul Race, religion, language, nationality, and gender: all enter the melting pot when Human Unity is contemplated. Wanted huge proactive spirit.
31 Jul World Union, says Sri Aurobindo, is an evolutionary inevitability. The nitty gritty, however, are the responsibility of present generation.
31 Jul This in peacetime and being treated as a picnic but such eventualities as part of war can be disastrous. Sri Aurobindo stressed Human Unity.
31 Jul Feeling of National integration through power failure that ranks as a world record poses a survival question mark before human civilisation.
31 Jul May the nation wake to the anthem of truth, light, & immortality as sung by Sri Aurobindo in his epic Savitri invoking Vedic lore.#August15
31 Jul In this hour of darkness may the country remember the sage voice of Sri Aurobindo, the sun of the nation and on whose birthday came freedom.
31 Jul If it's demanding accountability at apex level Team Anna must also prove its accountability to the public by conforming to democratic means.
31 Jul Transparency impresses the most. Team Anna should divulge its organisational hierarchy and get rid of the present obscure decision making.
31 Jul Policy neatness can stop nitpicking by others and that warrants comprehensive thinking and not just cherry picking. Get down to brass tacks.
31 Jul Till now Team Anna has avoided honest intellectual interrogation of its track record leading to confusion on alliance & ideology. So urgent.
31 Jul Savitri Era Party requests Team Anna to give up fasting & tackle patently political issues by political means without insisting on shortcuts
31 Jul Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo valorizes the body as much as the mind and psychic being. Enervating the body by fasting is therefore wrong.
31 Jul Time people are sensitized about Sri Aurobindo's critique of Gandhian practices like fasting. He even doubted its efficacy for spirituality.
30 Jul The political course Savitri Era Party drew in 2007 is plain & simple. Huge space for new national party with genuine ideological framework.
30 Jul Embracing Sri Aurobindo and his 5 Dreams can indisputably make Arvind Kejriwal invincible within the current political chaos of the country.
30 Jul Kejriwal receiving flak from expected quarters proves he is on right track. Only he should be aware about the significance of his namesake.
30 Jul - @ArchanaRaghuram Reading The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo can give a fair orientation in this arcane area. Synthesis of Yoga, too, is good.  View conversation
30 Jul Please read Sri Aurobindo, or the Adventure of Consciousness, by Satprem before #August15 by way of paying homage to this extraordinary poet.
30 Jul - @gopimaliwal That's an early letter. For a detailed account of the subsequent phases of his life you may read The Lives of Sri Aurobindo.  View conversation
30 Jul The Left & the Right, both have been consistently disregarding the genius of Sri Aurobindo, the sun of modern India. August 15, his birthday
30 Jul - @swaraj_india Surely the best theorisation is by Sri Aurobindo.  View conversation
30 Jul - @SandeepWeb @swaraj_india @zenrainman But he misses the poetic output of 2 Millennia. Sri Aurobindo is a more credible compass on this score.  View conversation
30 Jul - @swaraj_india @sandeepweb @zenrainman Start with Sri Aurobindo and the rest will come sliding by way of allusion or comparison.  View conversation
30 Jul - @KiranKS Step by step, Team Anna is nearing the logical inevitability charted by Savitri Era Party. Just, need to add Sri Aurobindo as icon.  View conversation
30 Jul - @PondyTweets I'm not so certain as much depends upon the reader's level. A person new to Sri Aurobindo might find it nice but not a devotee.  View conversation
30 Jul - @swaraj_india @_daddy_g You may consider a similar series on Savitri Era Party.  View conversation - 20h - @swaraj_india @alok_bhatt @barbarindian Mostly balanced, but the tweets on Sindhe seemed to be an over-reaction.  View conversation
30 Jul Thanks to Anna Hazare's Jantar Mantar show, I and my wife happen to watch the TV together at times these days. Social engineering at work.
29 Jul Delhi, NCR celebrating extempore Earth Day. Environmentalists holding mock drill of survival sans water and power. #22ndCentury - #Catch22
29 Jul Our opposition to Anna Hazare movement is unequivocal just as Hitler was identified early as the face of evil by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
29 Jul - @Realist_Indian Let not the crowd cloud right thinking. Anna is on wrong path and pursuing despicable methods. Sri Aurobindo holds the key.  View conversation
29 Jul - @ashutoshibn7 Anarchists are forcing huge ideological confusion upon the country. Time to stay calm and draw inspiration from Sri Aurobindo.  View conversation
29 Jul - @kaushikcbasu True. A simple test, likewise, is if one is not drawn towards Sri Aurobindo, that reveals the person harbouring irrationality.  View conversation
29 Jul - @ShankkarAiyar And a quarter Century quest for iron ore met success in December, 1907 inaugurating a new India.  View conversation
29 Jul - @SORBONNE75 May I request you to read a few lines from Savitri by Sri Aurobindo whenever you feel like. Thanks.  View conversation
29 Jul - @jay_ambadi Difficult to eradicate Bhakti as can be seen in Ambedkar's followers. Sri Aurobindo qualifies the most for a rationalistic love. 29 Jul - @jay_ambadi That's a loveable vantage point to start with an open mind. Learn and tell others since you write so well. View conversation 
29 Jul - @malviyamit Sri Aurobindo's books surely rank for Post-graduate and above level not only in India but worldwide. Self-study is better still. View conversation
28 Jul Those who are stagnating at Vivekananda's level must explore Sri Aurobindo's writings. It's like a leap from a lake to an oceanic vastness. 28 Jul A general background is earned from the works of Vivekananda. Sri Aurobindo lifts one to Himalayan heights through his synthetic philosophy. 28 Jul Vivekananda passed away in 1902 and Sri Aurobindo in 1950. Sri Aurobindo's insights during the eventful, intervening 48 years are valuable.
28 Jul Most from my TL consistently write about politics but they are not prepared to join politics. Thus, it's all sound and fury to push careers.

Anna Hazare should favour Savitri Era Party

Tweets 3m - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty Savitri Era Party is against RSS, Sonia, Secularism/Atheism, & Socialism/Leftists. Sri Aurobindo's FIVE DREAMS Manifesto is its inspiration. 15m Anna Hazare is right. It's futile to form new party without a definite and coherent ideological anchor. He should favour Savitri Era Party.
18h Characterizing Sri Aurobindo's ontology as tunnel vision shows how the present generation is ill-informed about his significance for future.
18h No one on Twitter has the power of transforming the collective consciousness. Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo alone can lead to Harmony.

You need real spine to read The Life Divine

1h Leaving familiar field and venture into new area is the only means of personal growth. Sri Aurobindo invites for Adventure of Consciousness.
4h Failure to see through fallacies has been useful to befuddle the gullible. The pretense of poverty also corrodes just grounds of Socialism.
4h Just as P.V. Narasimha Rao's “Not taking a decision is itself a decision,” Mamata Banerjee's abstaining from voting too amounts to voting.
4h Poverty & defeat is a thousand times preferable to flouting the rules of the game is an old Indian ethic and so twisting of facts flounders.
5h Politics & Social intervention tend to ape dramatic performance for effect but carry the risk of succumbing to hypocrisy and exhibitionism.
5h Even a thief needs an honest ally which proves the worth of eternal values. Evolution is all about traversing toward an Integral perfection.
5h Good citizenship and clinging to ethics is not too distant from spirituality. Vedic destination of Truth, Light, & Immortality is for both.
6h Scheming and chicanery can carry one only so far. The safer course in life is to surrender to unity, beauty, & harmony as a matter of habit.
6h Bestsellers are not always the best guides or products. To seek out the voice of the true and the good from among the cacophony is courage.
11h Neither noise nor numbers are indicators of quality or direction. Beware of decibel and let not the crowd overwhelm your quest for just path.  View location
12h Neither history nor nostalgia, the past is not a safe guide for a sublime future. Yoga as thought revolution is a pure voluntary occupation.  View location

Propagandists are afraid of Sri Aurobindo

[The Anatomy of an Internet Hindu from Centre Right India by Jaideep Prabhu - Jul 14, 2012 In defence of Hinduism…historically
Although the internet is a modernising factor, it should be noted that the defence of Hinduism is the locus of some of the earliest opposition to foreign rule. Figures like Vishnubawa Brahmachari and Arumuga Navalar challenged Western missionaries on their disrespectful and inaccurate portrayal of Hinduism. The notion that IHs are hijacking the nation is buncombe. There is a tradition of seeing India as a culturally Hindu majority nation, as Subramanian Swamy said on Al Jazeera. There is a tradition from Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Vallabhbhai Patel, to C. Rajagopalachari. While the last two may have disagreed with the vehemence of the first four, none denied India’s history. Admittedly, the IH Samaj may have lost some of the intellectual brilliance since, but that hardly diminishes its right to be in the national debate.]

[During his lifetime Herbert Spencer achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia… Spencer had achieved an unparalleled popularity, as the sheer volume of his sales indicate. He was probably the first, and possibly the only, philosopher in history to sell over a million copies of his works during his own lifetime… Spencer's influence among leaders of thought was also immense, though it was most often expressed in terms of their reaction to, and repudiation of, his ideas. As his American follower John Fiske observed, Spencer's ideas were to be found "running like the weft through all the warp" of Victorian thought…
Savarkar writes in his Inside the Enemy Camp, about reading all of Spencer's works, of his great interest in them, of their translation into Marathi, and their influence on the likes of Tilak and Agarkar, and the affectionate sobriquet given to him inMaharashtra – Harbhat Pendse. From Wikipedia]

It’s not only the secularists who carefully excise any reference to Sri Aurobindo. They are everywhere. In a way, it proves that how propagandists of all hues are afraid of the free-spirit Sri Aurobindo espouses. Bastille Day, by the way. [TNM55]

The number kills

Of many criticisms of Sri Aurobindo, his portrayal of various events and persons in a creative fashion is the most obvious. The general complain is his broad stokes of historical narrative often shows up wide gaps in contour upon close scrutiny. Nevertheless, his overall theoretical thrust and future vision has been appreciated and accepted by a galaxy of critical observers.  

When Sri Aurobindo carries us from near to far into the unknown vista of the future, insisting on mapping the lanes and by lanes is, understandably, absurd. Even in his ontological speculations also, Sri Aurobindo avoids any rigid Dantesque framework or definite numbers. This in keeping with his theory of multiple truths dovetailing or telescoping into each other depending upon the sweep of the horizon. [TNM55]

Individual is the engine of economy

[22 Jun - krishnarjun @krishnarjun108@SavitriEraParty sir, what’s your opinion on Hindu nationalism series, do you think my diagnosis and prescription makes sense? View conversation]
[3h - krishnarjun @krishnarjun108 - @SavitriEraParty what’s your main theoretical disagreements sir in the light of Aurobindo's ideas for Indian economy?  http://krishnarjun108.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/guj …View media

Sri Aurobindo, TIlak, Gandhi differ widely in their conception of Swadeshi as an economic philosophy. Circumstances obtaining at the time of the freedom movement have changed drastically and hence reviving the old slogans is not free from hazards. For example, past arrangements like Panchayats and other local bodies may or may not be a desirable feature at present. Further, the notion that the economy can be “directed” or “managed” is itself a faulty worldview.

Individual is the engine of economy. If freedom and rule of law is available to him he turns an entrepreneur, builds networks, and creates wealth. The same is happening all over India now, obviously, with varying degrees. It will continue to be like that. Prosperity comes through people but Govt. tries to take credit. Thus, the Gujarat case study is more on the side of partisan publicity than any substantial growth paradigm strategy. (Views expressed are those of Savitri Era Party and not necessarily made “in the light of Sri Aurobindo's ideas”) [TNM55]  

Organisation and control is the political aspect that is supposed to ensure the goal of freedom and common good. Panchayat is not a natural organization but a duly elected political unit operating at the micro level and equally vulnerable to being monopolized. Besides, politics itself is a game of charisma and maneuvering.

As regards city-states and their rural hinterland, geography and demography will dictate these dynamics. Their mutual symbiosis has many potential ruptures in the Indian context like languages, castes, and eating habits. So, India Shining is still a viable proposition. There is no escape, however, from cyclical downturns and Satyam-like vagaries. [TNM55]
