Discovering Sri Aurobindo

@SavitriEraParty: Despite their differences Sri Aurobindo gives credit to Dayananda for enunciating a spiritual interpretation of the Veda which he enlarged.
@SavitriEraParty: @i31p1n Many but opposition to Havan rituals and allied rigid literalism or infallibility insisted by the Arya Samaj are primary objections.
@SavitriEraParty: @i31p1n Sri Aurobindo rescued Yoga from physical anchorage before which all rituals & texts are inferior/inadequate & was wary of authority.
@SavitriEraParty: @i31p1n To understand Sri Aurobindo it's essential therefore to be free from prior affiliations/indoctrination & learning with an open mind.
@SavitriEraParty: To apply corrective to Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, Theosophical Society, & Ramakrishna Mission was a challenge for The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
@SavitriEraParty: Reconciling/repudiating Buddhism, Advaita/Dvaita, Vishishtavaita/Vaishnavism, and Tantra etc. was a major accomplishment of Sri Aurobindo.
@SavitriEraParty: Synthesising the Evolution of Nietzsche, Darwin, Spencer, Bergson, James, Royce et al with Vedic clues was a masterstroke by Sri Aurobindo.
@SavitriEraParty: Sri Aurobindo also kept under leash excessive emphasis on humanism, rationalism, or secularism without abdicating critical/scientific stance.
@SavitriEraParty: A deep Hermeneutical sympathy & Poetic sensibility is what was at the core of Sri Aurobindo's Intuitive theorising & Integral view of world.
@SavitriEraParty: By delving into the Psychology of Social Development & Ideal of Human Unity, Sri Aurobindo could crystallise his #FiveDreams for World Peace.
@SavitriEraParty: The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have opened a vista into the future & everyone is invited to collaborate with Evolution & partake of the Harmony.

Judeo-Vedic Evolutionary dialectic leads

@SavitriEraParty: The first lesson regarding Sri Aurobindo is to approach him independently and not in combination with Bankim, Bipin, Tilak, or Vivekananda.
@SavitriEraParty: The second lesson pertains to the widespread misconception that Sri Aurobindo espoused Hindu Nationalism. The truth however is the opposite.
@SavitriEraParty: The third important lesson about Sri Aurobindo is that his writings stopped at 1950 but The Mother expanded his vision in theory & practice.
@SavitriEraParty: @mahia478 But when Ambedkar is compared to Sri Aurobindo the difference can be easily perceived although both share the Vadodara connection.
@SavitriEraParty: A new Philosophy, a new Politics, & a new Religion - Indians must educate themselves to know critical value of Sri Aurobindo's contribution.
@SavitriEraParty: @wizard_satish We worship The Mother & Sri Aurobindo & this new Religion integrates Vedic and Judaic traditions by linking it to Evolution.
@SavitriEraParty: @wizard_satish Please Google search Independence Day Speech of Sri Aurobindo. It was actually broadcast over AIR, Tiruchirapalli on Aug 14.
@SavitriEraParty: Strange that the Congress is shielding the misdeeds of Manoj Das Gupta & his machinations in preventing any probe into Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
@SavitriEraParty: @kiran_patniak Sri Aurobindo has charted out the alternative not only for India but for the whole humanity. Our willingness to follow needed.
@SavitriEraParty: India is yet to overcome consequences of multiple historical accidents but its future is bound to follow Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams vision.
@SavitriEraParty: The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are harbingers of a new way of life upon Earth and following them entails consenting adventure of Consciousness.
@SavitriEraParty: Members of the Savitri Era Religion scattered the world over must raise their voice for a democratic & transparent resolution of the crisis.
@SavitriEraParty: Restoration of democratic rights to the residents of Sri Aurobindo Ashram/Auroville to elect their own management is the long term solution.
@SavitriEraParty: The silent majority constituting the Savitri Era Religion is denied hand in Sri Aurobindo Ashram management and the right to self-assertion.
@SavitriEraParty: Influential sections of Sri Aurobindo Ashram inmates today are either surrendered to RSS brand of Hindu Nationalism or Marxist Rationalism.
@SavitriEraParty: @AgentSaffron I oppose Sonia and the Dynasty as much as the RSS. Parties are in a fluid state and can change according to their leaders.
@SavitriEraParty: The synthetic path that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have crafted for whole humanity must reach all corners of Globe. http://t.co/oXnM4EEz2G
@SavitriEraParty: This is the hour when all our intellectual wherewithal gifted by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are harnessed to fight anti-Evolutionary forces.
@SavitriEraParty: So sad that at a time when it should act as a lighthouse to the Nation mired in obscurity, Sri Aurobindo Ashram itself is plunged in crisis.
@SavitriEraParty: It'd be unfortunate if the unique following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo so painstakingly created is surrendered to the whim of rank outsiders.
@SavitriEraParty: Inmates of Sri Aurobindo Ashram & Auroville residents should democratically elect own Governing body to protect the minority-Religion status.
@SavitriEraParty: Sri Aurobindo comes down heavily as much upon the ritualist as on the rationalist. His Judeo-Vedic Evolutionary dialectic privileges Surrender.
@SavitriEraParty: Sri Aurobindo's advent adds momentum to evolution as he is opposed to museum like preservation of ancient practices and religious traditions.
@SavitriEraParty: Sri Aurobindo's marked disdain for mythology, rituals, & superstitions oriented old religions bears greater appeal for the young generation.
@SavitriEraParty: The more the split over Hindu Nationalism sharpens, the better focused will be Sri Aurobindo's unique propositions and interpretations of it.

Learning from Sri Aurobindo is a life long love affair

@waglenikhil @manishkbaid @sawhneynikhil Such a vision was given by Sri Aurobindo in his #FiveDreams address to the nation on 14 August 1947 View conversation
Evolutionary perspective taught by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo forces one to perceive the other as a fellow human being and not as adversary.
Consenting to learn from Sri Aurobindo is a life long love affair. There is no shortcut to going through the forty volumes of complete works.
Selecting study material in consonance with one's political persuasion is a paradoxical as well as perplexing phenomenon. Read Sri Aurobindo.
With understanding of Sri Aurobindo's Vedic Evolutionary dialectic, one can be spared of the confusion suffered by pbmehta and madhukishwar.
Despite possessing all resources Congress failed in India because it neglected the path hewn by Sri Aurobindo. AAP & BJP will meet same fate.

Sri Aurobindo freed the Veda

Sri Aurobindo freed the Veda from senseless rituals & Havan stipulations by revealing true meaning
Not to take that apparent chaos for granted is the task by which we lend volitional power & conscious collaboration to Evolution.

Lure of power in religion and politics

 5 Jul Past patterns and divisions are hardly of use by future Evolution. Hence, addressing previous fault lines with dated therapies has no value.

You do have a one track approach

@SavitriEraParty: This tweet owes its existence as much to technology as to the legal rights won over centuries. The content, of course, is force of the word.
@SavitriEraParty: Which words? It's always a matter of dispute but Sri Aurobindo firmly settles it in favour of the Vedic & set out in 24000 lines of Savitri.
@SavitriEraParty: By just denoting the word Go as ray of light Sri Aurobindo managed to clear the cobwebs spread over the Veda for more than a thousand years.
@SavitriEraParty: The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Human Cycle-Human Unity, The Future Poetry and there was no stopping the action from the word Go.
@SavitriEraParty: It's laughable that without reading any book of Sri Aurobindo, CRI editors/writers consider themselves experts on Indian history & culture.
@SavitriEraParty: Congress & the Left resisting Sri Aurobindo is understandable but people like @SandeepWeb, @hguptapolicy & @orsoraggiante ridiculing me is sad.
@SavitriEraParty: IGNOU thankfully has been running Courses on Sri Aurobindo Studies up to the PhD level which our Leftist dominated Universities don't allow.
@SavitriEraParty: @hguptapolicy Marketing is like that and you must excuse rhetoric. No serious complains but I don't think you'll rate Sri Aurobindo boring.
@SavitriEraParty: If Gandhi's My Experiments with Truth & Nehru's The Discovery of India are essential reading so is The Renaissance in India by Sri Aurobindo.
@SavitriEraParty: To reign in supporters' frustration BJP should encourage study of Sri Aurobindo's political philosophy for their overall intellectual growth.
@SavitriEraParty: @MukulKMishra @smarket People are so used to dumbing down and consuming trivia that unadulterated truth is rated as boring even by the wise.

Advani 2014

@SavitriEraParty: @arvind_joshi @jemin_p Please read the works of Sri Aurobindo for profound insights on Indian polity, literature, and culture. #FiveDreams
@SavitriEraParty: Surfeit of supporters of political parties on Twitter but how many are really concerned for the nation? #FiveDreams Manifesto: Sri Aurobindo
@SavitriEraParty: If anyone reads even one page from a book by Sri Aurobindo, please share so that others get motivated. One line quotations not of much help.
@SavitriEraParty: Post-1980, Fernandes Détente and Kulkarni Doctrine have served the nation well. Under Advani's aegis it can reach its final consummation.
@SavitriEraParty: Sri Aurobindo is the only glue left to tie together a well defined political party in India and the nation must align itself to Evolution.
@SavitriEraParty: Ours is a strategic alliance with Advani to keep Hindutva and hubris at bay. Reversal of 1980 is the aim for formation of a National Party.
@SavitriEraParty: A former Deputy Prime Minister is the most eligible candidate today to be at the helm of the country at a crucial moment of its history.
@SavitriEraParty: Development is on autopilot; what the country really needs is Direction. Advani - not BJP or RSS - is the man who can effectively lead India
@SavitriEraParty: Let Advani be the next Prime Minister so that all aspects of our nationhood are thoroughly debated and redefined under a mature leadership.
@SavitriEraParty: @MukulKMishra @sehindu Advani continues to be pilloried but he draws his strength from NDA+ which none else can muster. #Advani2014
@SavitriEraParty: The endless war of words between the supporters of Congress and BJP on Twitter gives the impression that no other party exists in India.
@SavitriEraParty: @auldtimer It goes well with the philosophy of returning to Ramrajya. Nothing to innovate since Sanatan Dharma rules.
@SavitriEraParty: Political parties in general are concerned with the economy but in India most are unduly occupied with history and managing public memory.
@SavitriEraParty: Politics is not constituted of charlatanism and chicanery alone since human society is marching towards "an eventual divine perfection."
@SavitriEraParty: A great feeling that the hope for basing politics on higher human values is not dead & mere managerial & manipulative ability is not enough.
@SavitriEraParty: A great feeling that a leader who has been active for the last 60 years has reaffirmed his faith in ethics in public life so eloquently.
@SavitriEraParty: A great feeling that this country has seen so much & 2013 seems to be on the cusp of a new beginning without the burden of history or agony.
@SavitriEraParty: Advani is facing mass vilification reminiscent of V.P. Singh. Wish him all success in fighting for Vedic values India has always cherished.
@SavitriEraParty: @DrManishKumar1 @smarket Rhetoric should not twist truth. The historic role of Advani in reshaping BJP and NDA is what India is waiting for.
@SavitriEraParty: @prasannavishy He will, but not before crafting "the party with a difference" of his dreams. #FiveDreams
@SavitriEraParty: @vijayvaani @offstumped The past is not always a safe guide. Evolution can make an individual its instrument and create future mythology.

Sri Aurobindo Ashram is sitting on a volcano of land scams and shady deals

Tweets Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty - 18h An influential section of Auroville's elitehas been complicit in this power game and is happy with the status quo. http://savitriera.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/auroville-must-be-returned-to-its.html … - 18h The state of Auroville itself is highlytroubling. A complete negation of the original conception, it is verily acaricature and a betrayal. 18h Auroville must be returned to its rightfulowners. The Mother’s property has to be released from the hands of theunbelievers and atheists. 20h Sri Aurobindo Ashram responds only to theCourts or the Collector & not the general public. A public institution mustpractice transparency. 20h Visitors recall the abode of peace that theAshram is but are blissfully unaware that it is sitting on a volcano of landscams & shady deals. 20h How long the Devotees must wait beforetheir beloved Ashram rescued from the evil occupation by vile usurpers? Whyeven the Courts so slow? 21h The luminous legacy of The Mother & SriAurobindo is definitely not safe in the dubious custody of Manoj Das Gupta& friends of Peter Heehs. 21h The Mother recognised Sri Aurobindo at onceon arrival in Puducherry in 1914. Indians are yet to know his real worth evenafter a century. 21h It's ludicrous Manoj Das Gupta claimingDivine Right to rule over Sri Aurobindo Ashram by pathetically sponsoring well-wisherspamphleteering. 21h Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry must stopthe system of life-long appointment of Trustees to prevent sycophancy,nepotism, & black-mailing. 21h Peter Heehs has impersonated variously withfancy designations which the Ashram never conferred upon him. Why silence onthis? Conspiracy? 22h The Ashram will be stirred only when itspremises is attacked or property ransacked and not if the reputation of TheMother & Sri Aurobindo. 22h The Ashram maintains that it has got nobusiness with whatever people write about Sri Aurobindo including its inmates.Exemplary neutrality! 22h - @gchikermaneYou may say goodbye to me but you owe the nation an apology for perpetratingfalsehood with regard to Peter Heehs last year.  Viewconversation - 22h No amount of paid-media coverage andplanted panegyrical can exonerate Peter Heehs of the indiscretions committed inLives of Sri Aurobindo. 23h @gchikermaneThat's obvious but you should clarify on your Peter Heehs nexus and thehospitality by the Ashram enjoyed by you so frequently. Viewconversation - 23h Must be some serious groundwork for PeterHeehs' defence when @gchikermaneis in Puducherry. Admirable nexus between history and economics.  Viewconversation - 23h The world needs Peter Heehs' extraordinarygenius as historian and his fans are thirsty for his forthcoming book. Why ishe locking himself? 23h Vigilance needs to be beefed up andresistance augmented so that Sri Aurobindo Ashram is not hijacked by likes ofPeter Heehs the CIIS way. 23h Authentic historical account regarding TheMother & Sri Aurobindo can emerge only when the stranglehold of Peter Heehsover the Ashram ends. 23h Residence of just 1 person has beentroubling a whole community of devotees & admirers of Sri Aurobindo. Ashramshould throw Peter Heehs out. 23h Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry hasembarked upon a propaganda campaign to acquit itself of the sins committed byPeter Heehs but in vain. 30 Mar Peter Heehs hit upon the queer formulathat whatever others say about Sri Aurobindo is true but what he himself saidis suspect as history.

Savitri is key to Human Unity

Tweets 5 hrs - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty The Human Cycle (1st Edition, November, 1949) by Sri Aurobindo far surpasses the Enlightenment ideals envisaged in the Indian Constitution. 6 hrs The Postscript Chapter to The Ideal of Human Unity (2nd Edition, April, 1950) constitutes the most evocative pronouncement by Sri Aurobindo. 6 hrs A new future for the nation is right here with Sri Aurobindo as the fulcrum and Savitri, the ethical anchor and pivot for a new world order. 6 hrs Savitri is the new Veda authored by Sri Aurobindo for the modern world in which all scriptures as well as all cultures find their own echo. 6 hrs The epic, Savitri by Sri Aurobindo offers a roller-coaster adventure from pre-history to remote-future that is steeped in utmost aesthetics. 7 hrs Savitri admittedly is difficult to understand but the sound of its words serve as a springboard for diving deep into Sri Aurobindo's thought. 8 hrs Reciting a page from Savitri by Sri Aurobindo at random everyday is an assured means of finding the meaning of esoteric dimensions of life.

Scripting fruition of the Postscript

At about the same time when the Constituent Assembly was busy giving a final shape to the Constitution of India in 1949 in Delhi, Sri Aurobindo applied himself to writing in Puducherry - barely a year before his passing away - an elaborate justification for establishment of World Union, his Third Dream. Admittedly, one of his last and most profound pronouncements on a patently political topic, A Postscript Chapter constitutes a vision and a prophecy in international relations that might seem too remote at the moment but the logic of which is assuming an ever increasing certitude day by day. The question now is whether some ground level machinery for facilitating the fruition of such a grand idea is in operation at present. [TNM55]

Thought matters

Amod Lele writes, “for Marx it was always the case that matter matters.” This may be true so far as “commodity fetishism” is concerned, but to “understand that physical world” entails theorizing which is not strictly matter. Philosophy of immanence, though immanent by definition, has transcendental ramifications. This is, perhaps, the reason  why Joshua Ramey’s book on Deleuze has set the cat among the pigeons. [TNM55]

The Mother served an ultimatum on the West on March 6, 1914

When The Mother boarded Kaga Maru on March 6, 1914 in order to meet a bearded recluse in Puducherry, she served an ultimatum on the West. A private voyage; but verily a gigantic leap for the mankind. From then on, the course of history can, as well, be said to be a series of disjointed-seeming footnotes to her agenda. Sri Aurobindo occupies the Centre of Gravity of the whole humanity now. Neither politics nor economics, neither philosophy nor literature can move any further by ignoring him. What The Mother dreamt of a century back is taking shape in a way that is largely unseen. The palette of human thought and action is being remoulded and reconfigured continually for the new creation to coagulate. “If this is she of whom the world has heard, Wonder no more at any happy change.” Pranams at her lotus feet. [TNM55]
