The single most intellectually gifted freedom fighter is Sri Aurobindo


22) Meeting Tilak in Ahmedabad:
In Dec.1902, Congress conducted its 1st session in Ahmedabad (18th overall), on the financial backing of the ongoing Industrial exhibition (where Gaekwad read #SriAurobindo's speech)..
It was here that the two 'extremists' met for the first time: https://t.co/VU1MtcgETR
23) Sending Barin to Calcutta:
During his Baroda stay, Barin was much influenced by Sri Aurobindo's revolutionary ideas. So ~1902-03, #SriAurobindo initiated him into the secret society & sent him to Calcutta to work with Jatin & others..
The revolution was now picking up pace: https://t.co/095XYO3HnC

THE REVILED BENGALI INTELLECTUALS – THE MYTHS, THE DISTORTIONS, AND THE BIASES

Hindu Bengal had enormous capacity to absorb outsiders as their own. Every one knows of Sister Nivedita. How many know of Sakharam Deuskar, a Marathi Brahmin, who wrote in Bangla & worked closely with Aurobindo Ghosh? Read our piece 2 learn about him  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
The single most intellectually gifted freedom fighter is Aurobindo Ghosh. All the core ideas of mass movements of freedom fight emerged from within his influence sphere. Gandhi appropriated them without due attribution. Read about them here:  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
Aurobindo Ghosh was an unparalleled genius and visionary. Read how top ranking British intelligence officers assessed his ingenuity. What Aurobindo Ghosh initiated, Subhas Chandra Bose finished. The Indian Freedom Movement  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
It took the genius of Aurobindo Ghosh to coalesce ideas that existed in Hindu ethos into devastating tools of mass movements- Swaraj & Swadeshi. Both were coalesced in much maligned Calcutta in the first decade of the twentieth century. Read:  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
Different ethnicities have served as sword arm for the Indics at different times. Hindu Bengal definitely did so in the twentieth century. The debt that the Indian state refuses to honor. Our documentation of the contribution of Hindu Bengal:  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
A successful freedom fight relies on narrative, ideas, messaging, inspirational leadership, ideology and daring actions. Hindu Bengal struck for India on each of these in the twentieth century. Each claim documented below.  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
How many writings on Bengal revolutionaries quote British sources? We do - from Brit Intel, top police officers, Judges, Viceroys. For they understood their greatest foes - the revolutionaries fairly well. Read:  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
Hindu Bengali nationalism had never been exclusive. Irish Sister Nivedita, Marathi Brahmin Sakharam Deuskar, Rajput ancestry Ananta Singh were all part of the revolutionary movement in Bengal. They integrated. Something that racists can’t get.  https://t.co/r9wLfAI2KU
Besides Gandhi was an out and out coward and left no stone unturned to bring down our best and bravest - the revolutionaries

What happened to Bepin Chandra Pal in the end? Didn't he pass away in obscurity while Gandhi rode to power on mullahs and mercantile/feudal networks shoulders, and with British support?

Gandhi's fundamental tactic of allying with sadists who help him in his quest to be unquestioned "great leader" can be contrasted to Bhaghat Singh or Jalian Wala Bagh martyrs whose drive was native radicalism, and willingness to face risks/death themselves.

Remember Vamadeva speaking of our forefathers


Let Agni be blissful to us, let Agni be blissful to us, let Agni be blissful to us, Agni who is the knower of all things born, he the knower of the birth, let that Agni be blissful to us, let him be pleasing to us, let him be ecstatic to us, joyful in the joy of the Gods, he be full of delight to us, he be full of delight in the blaze of delight, let him be blissful to us, let him be blissful to us. Agni should become high-uplifted. Agni should break through all veils, the physical, the vital, the mental, the occult, the spiritual. Agni should purify us from the thousand blemishes that reside in us, they born of our birth in Inconscience. Agni should lead us on the upclimbing path of Truth-Light and Truth-Joy and Truth-Beauty. Agni should manifest in us the things of the Spirit, the things of the Godhead, manifest in us the things of the Spirit, the things of the Godhead.

Accent is a unique opportunity for us to hear the diction of the Vedic Rishis. 
May i request you to give some chronological perspective regarding the appearance of all these ancient works? I am not convinced that the accent marking in Sanskrit has a kind of connection with the Greek literature. True, both the languages are based on sound volume, Quantity of Sound, but they are separated by long periods of time in between. If a chronological sequence can be convincingly established many of the issues might get sorted out. A difficult job, yet ...
And then remember Vamadeva speaking of our forefathers, human fathers. Can we get any idea about them?

Soul as finding its ontological existence from the Cosmic consciousness existed fundamentally much earlier and much deeper than the birth of physical fields/electrons and other particles. Therefore, it is basically a  faulty idea to relate the soul to a state of the quantum entangled variables pertaining to electron or some other particles. The same soul recycles not between the life of two consecutive births but between the lives many many births in succession which can't be explained by the speculative concept of the state entangled quantum variables pertaining two particles.

iii) If the eigenstates of energy have an objective reality of some objective units( which is presumed in physics to exist without the subjective presence of some conscious observer), how its flip sides can have the subjective element of subjective units of time in form of protopsychist atoms? In other words, the flip side of
the objective eigenstates of energy ( if any such flip sides exist at all), also need to be objective units having some objective reality. and thsi does not fit in the idea of the subjective units of time.

Thanks for asking Deepak.
The story in the eDAM framework is as follows: Perhaps, the dual-aspect primal entity (whatever that may be!) had the potentiality for awareness, which was manifested (actualized) in us along with our brains first. Then the processing of physical information (wavelength and intensity) from photon reflected from objects to photoreceptors for its transduction into neural signals and then further processing retinal cells, LGN and cortical neural networks (such as V8-NN for color) occur. These feed-forward signals interact with cognitive memory-engram related feedback signals for matching/non-matching process. Then the “self” selects a specific beable ontic (conscious) dual-aspect state of a mind-brain system with subjective experience (SE, such as redness) in its non-physical aspect and its neural-physical basis in its inseparable physical aspect. Then the “self” experiences the SE redness, which is a mode/excitation of universal potential consciousness informational energy field (the non-physical aspect of the unmanifested state of primal entity: unified informational energy field). 
Cheers!
Kind regards,

Having read a book by a physicist called Ruggero Santilli, I am becoming less certain that Einstein's version of GR is correct (though like Santilli I have no doubt that Einstein's arguments are fully justified). Santilli points to a published and peer reviewed critique of GR by a physicist called Yilmaz. Yilmaz argues that the RHS of Einstein's equations do not take into account the stress energy of the gravitational field itself. He proposes a correction and demonstrates (according to Santilli) that the corrected equations can be expressed in a Hamiltonian form (potentially allowing gravity to be combined with electromagnetism as Einstein suspected) .

Thought-provoking interview on work and burnout with Josh Cohen, psychoanalyst and literary critic, for @five_books: https://t.co/Rn42GuZsHI
His book, Not Working: Why we Have to Stop, was published earlier this year.

During #LangFest2019 , met Dr Mohanjit Singh, noted Punjabi poet who won @sahityaakademi award last year for his poetry book Kone Da Suraj (Konark). He described how he was mesmerized, charmed ad drawn into Konark. This interview captures some of it. https://t.co/AS6UJAueZ2 https://t.co/s76aaIRsrR

Whole thread worth reading. Gandhi's big mistake was to inflict his personal morality and ethics on the nation. We are still paying the price for it. We have to remember one thing: you can be a pacifist personally, but you cannot make personal fetishes the nation's fetish https://t.co/1NOl8DEG4o

Gandhi’s covenant seeks to bring about the elimination of the sin of secrecy by demanding of men that they lead their inner lives and outer lives as if under the watch of a judge of morals.

Tibetans have a radically different perspective on death than we in the West. They are sharing their bodies with all sentient beings, past present & future and consider it auspicious. Here's an article by @jhalifax you might enjoy https://t.co/g6d2Dv0ZFk
