Sri Aurabindo wasn't a lexicanologist or anthropologist

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Lines from Sri Aurobindo comes to one's mind," The Fiend was visible but cloaked in light;He seemed a helping angel from the skies,He armed untruth with Scripture and the law,he deceived with wisdom and virtue slew the soul..." The only great man who refused to meet Gandhi.

Sri aurabindo wasn't a lexicanologist or anthropologist. Sanskrit is Eurasian laungage which flourished across sub continent alongside the migration of Eurasian steppes, 8000 years ago.

Come with some peer reviewed articles of lexicanologist or anthropologist than coming out with trash of Aurobindo.

Stop sending me Aurobindo garbage. Just including  few Sanskrit words does not authenticate  nothing. You people are shameless in saying Australia is where Indian yogis kept  war fares.

If Indian yogis were so great why 87% foodless here until 6 decades ago.

I'd rather put Swami Vivekanand and Aurobindo's photo under Buddha murti instead of Ambedkar and Phule as the former two were closer to the Buddha ideologically than the latter two.

Hence Nisargatta Maharajs humble statement the himself he is a mere school teacher and osho is like principal of large school.  Osho discourses of zen were taught by Japanese masters… sheer spiritual genius.  What aurobindo is to free India, osho is to modern world. /3

And we don't hear much about those who truly were great such as Sri Aurobindo..

A person with all possible qualities one can think of.. a scholar, saint, revolutionary, poet, philosopher..

Dr. Alok Pandey from the Sri Aurobindo ashram is a specialist on it. He was a psychiatrist in the Indian Air force. Another article on the subject:

Also his analysis on tantra is completely wrong..I respect him tho...I find sri aurobindo one of the great spiritual master of 20th century but his writing are very difficult to understand if you aren't a sadhaka.

We clearly don't have financial sovereignty. Collective decision process from the residents has been by-passed in the last few years. We have an international network of well wishers who share the Auroville values abroad which is definitely akin to an extended network.

A city without politics, religions and money were the ideals for Auroville given by the Mother who founded it in 1968. Auroville is far from that ideal and to claim that it has already become so is ignorant and false propaganda.

Auroville is changing. When I lived here in 2020, aurovillians were discontent. But today, they are deeply unhappy. Plans for Bharat nivas are slowly eclipsing the Mother's vision. Matrimandir viewing point now looks like a mining site.

The Kama Sutra draws attention to the tension between the monogamous housewife and the polygamous courtesan. The former has access to status, power, dignity and nobility while the latter has freedom, agency and enterprise. The two belong to very different worlds. This was part of Indian culture for over 2,000 years. This system was broken down brutally by the British with the support of nationalists, who saw the courtesan culture as a sign of corruption and debauchery. In this one aspect, the nationalists and the colonialists agreed.

I have long noticed this. Perhaps because Sri Aurobindo wrote academically respectable books, or because of a general chauvinism, or because the Mother's emphasis on experience rather than theory is difficult for intellectually orientated Westerners to understand.

Just as there are unsung heroes in the world, similarly Auroville Today is largely taken-for-granted, under-appreciated, unsung magazine of Auroville. Thanks mainly  to two children of the Mother - Carel and Alan.

The magic of great writing is such. Its method and purpose are not to merely describe things but to evoke analogies, imagery and a strange sense of space and time in a manner that goes straight into the subconscious of the reader and strikes a chord

The essay by Matthew David Segall, titled "Awakening to Our Planetary Mission: A Journey Through Cosmic History," explores the evolution of the universe and humanity's place within it. Segall reflects on the universe's beginnings, the fine-tuning that allowed for life, and the emergence of human consciousness as a pivotal moment in cosmic history.

helpful clarifications! See also integral philosopher Haridas Chaudhuri. Chaudhuri was chosen by Sri Aurobindo to come to the US to found a graduate school then called the American Academy of Asian Studies. Today this school is called California Institute of Integral Studies. I should add, Chaudhuri was the school's first president. Alan Watts was the first dean.

‘Sanātana Dharma’, or ‘eternal truth’, is the philosophical and practical basis of what is generally known as Hinduism. The Bhagavadgītā is a 700-verse Hindu scripture, which is part of the epic Mahabharata and a pivotal text in understanding Sanatana Dharma.

Celebrated writer, poet and teacher of Vedanta, Partho’s recent book, ‘This Is Sanatan Dharma’, is an attempt to explain some of the fundamental principles and practices of  Sanātana Dharma. He takes Sri Aurobindo as his source of inspiration and guidance.

Medical practitioner and writer Pariksith Singh’s works include ‘The Veda Made Simple’, ‘Sri Aurobindo and Philosophy’ and ‘Sri Aurobindo and the Literary Renaissance of India’.

Together, they embark on a quest to explore these sacred traditions and texts and their continuing impact on our past, present, and future.

Sir I am nobody to recommed. You are guru for us control engineers.

I wasted lot of time trying to read Aurobindo's classic books. It mislead me to think that He was only repeating other vedantist like vivekananda. Until I read letters on yoga 4 volumes. Best place to start

I don't agree with your logic. What you characterise as waste of time was the preparation so that the mind seeks more. Secondly, what is good for one person may not be good for another. Depends upon one's background and propensity. One can start from Poems.

[Hinduism in public and private: reform, Hindutva, gender - Antony R.H. Copley - 2003 - Aurobindo's political and social ideas were strongly influenced by poets of the English Romantic movement, Shelley and Wordsworth, by later English critics such as Carlyle, Ruskin, and Arnold]

The very sad thing about #Auroville is that @JayantiRavi made it a battlle between Indians (many of them coming from Sri Aurobindo ashram) and westerners. This goes against @narendramodi #vasudhaiva kutumbakam made for the #g20bharatsummit . it has degenerated to such a degree that I who strood against all for the @BJP4India & defended Bharat against all odds, for 40 years, is told by some of Dr Ravi's followers: "go home Frenchman". It hurts !@AmitShah @dpradhanbjp @nitin_gadkari @AmitShahOffice @PMOIndia . here a sad video of 50 years trees being cut on her orders @rss
