@gmeastcoastrly Dear Sir, If Puducherry - Bhubaneswar weekly be extended to Vadodara, then it'd be a great tribute to Sri Aurobindo's memory.
The whole story of 20th Century was the Vedic fight with Hitler on one side & The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on the other http://www.auro-ebooks.com/hitler-and-his-god/ …
Let Hindutva nurture its preference for Vivekananda, Subhas, & Savarkar. Followers of Sri Aurobindo must remember he fought against fascism.
Those who are supporting Hindutva for the sake of short term personal benefits must understand that it's an act of betrayal of Mother India.
Democracy, Secularism, Liberalism, and Modernity are anathema for Hindutva fundamentalists. Fight them with the Five Dreams of Sri Aurobindo.
All are free to follow their own faiths. Savitri Era Party recommends the path of self-development enunciated by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo.
Modernity demands that the provisions relating to caste, religion, and language should be out of Indian Constitution as Sri Aurobindo dreamt.
Since January 26, 1950 each one born in India enjoys freedom to pursue his own interest and profession irrespective of his caste or religion.
Modernity has four pillars: English, Science, Democracy, and Market. Each citizen of India must do his best to protect and strengthen them.
Hindutva folks are in power, even then their constant pining and whining is so irritating. Most of their tweets exude negativism and hatred.

When you buy life philosophy from those peddling Hindutva ideology, it's at your own risk. If better sense prevails, follow Sri Aurobindo.
Secularism empowers to vent gripe against it and Modi must not forget that the high office his fate has gifted him is because of Secularism.
Performance for a Prime Minister is not merely Stage performance. Modi must understand this and save a semblance of dignity for his chair.
If India is being run today by Modi-Mohan duo, then it's a deadly combination. One can expect utter foolhardiness leading to terrific chaos.
RSS priority for safeguarding votes for BJP is justified but it must not portray itself as purveyor of value-based politics and knowledge.
The Veda, Upanishads, & other Scriptures have existed for thousands of years but nothing much has happened. Follow Sri Aurobindo to benefit.
Those expressing glee over impending demise of Secularism in India are best examples of living in fools' paradise and exposing hare brains.
RSS must practice the virtue of being truthful. If you are dealing with public affairs, speak your mind with forthrightness and conviction.
RSS has not left its habit of operating clandestinely even after capturing power at Centre. This timidity is a blot on Hindu assertiveness!
Many delude themselves that Modi is highly dynamic while RSS is dragging him back. It's all eyewash; they all are Hindu Rashtra soldiers.
Democracy & Secularism are sine qua non of modern civilisation but RSS is hell bent to demolish both with utter foolishness & intransigence.
After thousands of years, India could taste the delicacies that Democracy offers but the Congress Dynasty and RSS continue to sabotage it.
@bhattaraka In that case, you may accept "All life is yoga" as the summary which Sri Aurobindo elaborates in his book, The Synthesis of Yoga.
@bhattaraka Left brain demands mathematical equation like precision but philosophy should be a right brain affair without need for summary.
@IndiaFactsOrg The author must first read what Sri Aurobindo has written before recommending them to others. He must write articles on them.

@chinmaykrvd The desperation with which BJP clutched on to Manjhi by fermenting his revolt should serve as a firm indicator of its strength.
Historians don't quote Sri Aurobindo's comments on men and events. But why those on Twitter fight shy of him is slightly difficult to fathom.
Sri Aurobindo is a very perceptive commentator on 20th Century affairs but there appears to be some reluctance on Twitter to quote his views.

@Vande_Mataram @Lohana1983 If you believe Sri Aurobindo, no one is final; everyone is undergoing Evolution. So, dialogue helps, not boycott.
Parliamentary framework is all about debate, discussion, and dialogue; not bans or boycott. Respecting dissent is the most important trait.
@Vande_Mataram @Lohana1983 Why not engage with them intellectually and produce appropriate responses? That would be a much better approach.
So comforting that BJP is yet to win election on Hindutva plank. Indian Democracy must, officially and statutorily, steer clear of Religion.
Savitri Era Party demands repealing anti-democratic provisions of Indian Constitution and stop referring to religions, castes, and languages.
Along with Religions, Govt must wash its hands off Castes, Languages, and Cultural productions like Movies, Music, Dance, Plays & Literature.
Savitri Era Party demands automatic suspension of all rules and regulations relating to various religions in force in all our statute books.
Religion is nothing but a lifestyle choice and must not be seen being inherited through genes. Linking it to race or civilisation is fiction.
Democracy has no business to bother about religions and must not poke its nose into them. They should be treated as purely private affairs.
Democracy providing administrative scaffolding for various practices within religions plus legal recognition/validity must be done away with.
Democracy must facilitate switching allegiance to religions just like freedom to support any political party and no one should be troubled.
Liberalism entails not bothering about the faith of other individuals, nor practicing any sort of discrimination on the basis of religion.
Religion is still looked upon as a Govt. job where one retires. With better education and awareness, people would prefer to explore choices.
A religion is a broad tent within which all kinds of characters are to be found: the good, but also criminals, militants, & fundamentalists.

Hindutva approach is intolerant of Democracy and individualism. So preserving Freedom is the most challenging task for citizens of India now.
Despite lacklustre progress on Development front, Democracy is the single most spectacular achievement of India during the last 60 years.
@tapansur Lack of positive approach within Hindutva ecosystem even after more than one year of assuming power indicates deep fear & frailty.
Nauseating to read endless complains against Marxist historians, Western scholarship, Christian influence in media etc. Victimhood must stop.

Most political parties fail as they are bereft of secure metaphysical undergirding. Savitri Era Party is anchored to Sri Aurobindo's Dreams.
Many harbour erroneous impressions regarding the Veda without making any effort to be acquainted with how Sri Aurobindo unveils its secrets.
One may not understand what Sri Aurobindo writes; yet a fundamental appreciation that none has been able to surpass his philosophy is needed.
A book becomes a bestseller and a movie box office hit by word of mouth. Savitri Era Party can grow swiftly with everyone's participation.

India is yet to liberate itself from feudal template of politics. Each one has some responsibility to throw it out. Savitri Era Party leads.
Just because Modi & Kejriwal muddied the waters of value-based, participatory Democracy, the hope for it is not dead. Join Savitri Era Party.
Those disenchanted with AAP and BJP may follow the Evolutionary vision of Sri Aurobindo and work for a modern and liberal Savitri Era Party.
A language has a certain level of utility as well as beauty. To demand more from it entails grappling with avoidable terrains of difficulty.
Science, Modernity, Democracy, Market, and English are fuel for future Evolution and, hence, should not be undermined under sway of emotion.
