Enough of Falsehood – Ashram Trustee resigns! from Critique of The Lives Jan 7, 2013 This morning saw
high drama in the Board of Trustees of the Ashram Trust…
Overwhelmed by the circumstances and under pressure of his own
conscience, this morning Albert Patel, the senior-most Trustee of the Ashram
Trust, submitted his resignation to the Trust Board, and walked away from the
Board meeting. RYD - January
7, 2013 9:07 PM Congratulations, Albert-da!
We thank you for the letter dated 21-6-10 containing the reply to our
questions…
15. You have mentioned that the Trust Deed is a sacred document
and that you are humbly discharging your duties in letter and spirit. We are
sorry to say that we do not agree with you on this issue. Your actions and
conduct in the last 20 years or so are not in keeping with this. On the
contrary you are using the Trust Deed as an instrument to keep absolute power
in your hands without any accountability.
16. The present situation in the Ashram is very disturbing and
precarious. The discontent among Ashramites with the Trust management is very
wide-spread and many among them may resort to inviting outside intervention. It
is quite possible that government intervention may occur. This would certainly
not be desirable.
Keeping this in view, we would request you to please act with
responsibility and understanding. Apart from the demands already made by
Pranabda regarding Peter Heehs, we request you to initiate the changes needed
in the Trust Deed, which having been drafted more than half a century ago, is
not fully relevant to our present conditions. The changes suggested are as
follows:
a) Restrict the tenure of office for trustees
to a fixed limited period.
b) Set up a legal mechanism for the selection
of trustees, based on a representative system.
c) Ensure transparency and accountability
in the administration of the Ashram.
If these suggestions are accepted, a dialogue could be started between
you and a selection of senior sadhaks of the Ashram.
This process will pre-empt all possibility of government intervention.
But if these suggestions are not accepted, the consequences may be very serious
for the future existence of the Ashram. It would be best to solve the present
problems within the Ashram community itself. If we fail to do this, there are
dark days ahead for us. Kittu Reddy Ranganath Raghavan Sumita Kandpal. Posted

Ned used to blog as spiritofnow initially. She was writing about her
personal concerns occasionally referring to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
before she formally launched The Stumbling Mystic with more or less similar
content and style. Ned (Nehdia Sameen) passed away on June 15, 2012. http://rainbowther.blogspot.in/search?q=ned
Office
bearers of Sri Aurobindo Society should quit Ashram
Machiavelli decoupled power from faith and Montesquieu pleaded for
separation of powers. Adam Smith sought to keep commerce free from all
encumbrances.
Ambivalence
mires Sri Aurobindo Ambivalence pertaining to Sri Aurobindo in the public
mind persists for a plethora of reasons. Bengal renaissance
is a lengthy and complex subject
The
Mother & Sri Aurobindo: 1893 – 1973 Sri Aurobindo returned to India in
1893 and this is the 120th year. The Mother passed away in 1973
and that is 40 years back.
Ashram
doesn't own the teachings of Sri Aurobindo Numerically,
the members of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Puducherry are a miniscule among the
devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
The
sovereignty of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo The Mother & Sri
Aurobindo are Supreme Divine. Savitri Era of those who adore, Om Sri
Aurobindo & The Mother. There is no further scope to argue about this
Purity
and prosperity The tag, “a realised
person” has a great value in India
A
case for Integral Education Religion is a
collective affair with a liberal sprinkling of festivals. Celebrations,
obviously, are happy and colourful occasions
Savitri
Era entering the tent Mike is right. “Just
put up some pictures of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother in your house” and
that’s the first ritual. But wait! Reverse the order
Heehs
can easily say to err is human “The intersection of religion and
nationalism remains an unresolved issue,” wrote Mohanty in Sri
Aurobindo: A Contemporary Reader (Rutledge: 2008 & Rimina’s
first assignment)
Sri
Aurobindo advocates a religious ethos for nationalism Tweets 23 Dec - @satyamevajayate Reciting Savitri and
reading The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo is perhaps the best
means for spreading sanity and harmony. 23 Dec - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty May the
youth of my country follow the words of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo instead
of chasing quick-fix solutions in Rajpath and India Gate.
Savitri
Era Religious Fraternity It appears that I am the only one so far in favour
of Savitri Era Religion. Founding
a new religion is not an easy task RC is right in catching discrepancies in
The Mother's utterances, but he must understand the balancing act she had to
perform in the face of multi-pronged resistances.
No
online evaluation of experiences But how all the Heehs’ hounds so uniformly
accede to Das Gupta’s divine right to rule for ever is something beyond
comprehension.
Auroville
is sinking into paranoia of insecurity and aloofness The Mother & Sri
Aurobindo, in their role in history, stand for human unity… Appointment of an
Odia trustee is being resisted tooth and nail.
The
Mother & Sri Aurobindo infuse a thought revolution Tweets 1h - Savitri Era Party @SavitriEraParty The
Mother & Sri Aurobindo have inaugurated a new epoch to break free from the
shackles of the past and its prohibitions.
Integral
Yoga is no uniform potion But non-linear Integral Yoga Ontology and its
spiral evolution paradigm is more prone to post-modernist rapprochement with
tentativeness, contingency, and uncertainty of interpretation.
