Mr. Guha, would you please care to tell me
if matters of faith are dogmas,” Why the hell parliamentarians and all Judges
swear in the name of GOD”? This in itself, I think, is enough to say how
many nuggets of wisdom lie there in that book.
Open Letter To Kanchan Gupta storified demystified
I hope you have some stake in Bengal
but i do not know what is your knowledge about Sri Aurobindo, in-spite of
being a bengali, but as far as Mihir Kumar Jha is ... What was
the book in discussion? Any idea? How much do you know about this book, curios.
[The Lives of Sri
Aurobindo] Was Harini Calamur aware of the book? Has she read that
book? Read this tweet here?
Kanchan Gupta @KanchanGupta - @Great_Gujarati What he did
is heinous. He abused @calamur and
he denigrated the 'OM ' icon he uses as his DP.
End of story.

The present situation demands the organisation to be
reformed. As such the benificiaries (particularly the Ashramites) should
courageously deal with the matter without fear. The change is indispensable and
it should be based on democracy with good will for the spiritual growth of the
Ashram. The present authorieties are expected to decide in its favour. J N

16, 2012 10:54 AM Comment by Ritwik Banerjee: THE NEED FOR ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
Though Mother didn’t give value to administered
justice, we may think over it in a different perspective for society. What does
society expect from the Ashram and especially its managers and trustees if not
to be living examples and beacon lights for its educators, law-makers, leaders,
business entrepreneurs and new generation members for an evolution towards a
collective perfection? Spirituality will ensue inevitably as a flowering
naturally thereafter. In the present context, this Ashram has both blind and
seeing devotees in its ambit spread all over the world. There may be fake types
also who do not bother about the Ideal. When Mother and Sri Aurobindo were in
their physical bodies and guiding disciples, there was no problem. They decided
in their light in each case. Now it is all a complex business. We have read in
books that when Vatel, a domestic help in the early years in the Ashram, was in
danger and in a dire situation, his wife wept for his life and Sri Aurobindo’s
compassion saved his life from the dire consequences of his “small” mistake
with which he had threatened life in the Ashram! But here, Peter Heehs and his
wife, if he has one, are not praying or weeping before the Master and the
Mother for a reprieve but claiming it from us as a right to his freedom. That
he can have always, by all means. But how should he have it in the name of “Sri
Aurobindo’s Yoga”? This is the point. (R. Banerjee)

16, 2012 7:54 PMA change is inevitable:
The despotism of the present group of trustees is
not healthy for Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Current events around the world show the
fall and replacement of despots by a movement towards democracy. By their
mis-management during the recent years, the trustees have amply proved
themselves incompetent for the trust and love of devotees and Ashramites.
Hence, they should willingly step down in a peaceful process, and extend their
helping hands to reconstitute the board with new faces who are trustworthy and
caring. The Mother will bless them for doing so. Otherwise, the writings are on
the wall for all to see. They may be replaced with more unpleasant and violent
means, as is the trend worldwide.
This is not the time for the Ashramites to give room to fear. With faith in the Mother’s name, may they proceed ahead on the path for reformation and a new order. As we understand, some courts have suggested that the members of charitable trusts should change every 5/7 years. Long-entrenched trustees are not healthy for the Ashram, unless they have the personality and heart to stay clear of petty ego.
