We had high hopes in 2014 that Sri Aurobindo would now adorn the centrestage but after checking a large number of tweets it's evident that even in 2019 he is nowhere near anyone's wishlist. Really an unfortunate aspect for a nation which reserves ignominy for the greatest Indian.

Sri Aurobindo is regularly accused as an escapist and a slew of 'mudslinging' has been documented by Peter Heehs in his book, The Lives of Sri Aurobindo. A masterly work but also famous for its skew. Parts of it are available online free.
I have recommended this book for more than a dozen times since 2012. https://t.co/RfubnzjtOg
Hitler and His God: The Background to the Nazi Phenomenon by Georges van Vrekhem is essential reading in this context which documents how intensely #SriAurobindo was involved in the whole exercise from the "tranquility" of his Ashram in Puducherry. https://t.co/niQNLfkLq4
Twitter being an open platform, all kinds of views need to be respected. Uninformed or unpalatable opinions also need to be circulated so that they come to the notice of a bigger audience leading to a wider engagement and animated debate. “A drop of ink may make a million think.”

Scholarship is a lifelong affair and narratives keep changing. Apart from his intellectual prowess, Sri Aurobindo did disclose in public (Uttarpara speech) that he can see the future, unlike other mortals. Contesting that claim is way beyond our faculties. https://t.co/6JSzvwkDPU

@LenteCurrite Have you read about Brahmabandhav Upadhyay? I had heard of him before but didn’t know much about him until @dikgaj mentioned him to me. May interest you.

I don’t reside in spirit, and won’t have much in common with Aurobindo-ites. Sorry. I have said what I had to about him his pre-jail days,in our latest article, and what I think about him post his release is in the above tweets. Will ignore trolls. Bye
One last time, some of Aurobindo Ghosh’s statements post his release were theater of the absurd. And that doesn’t take away from the sheer brilliance & ingenuity of his writings before going to jail. No amount of trolling will change my views on the same.

Necessary condition for trolling- tagging someone. I didn’t jump on your TL. You did. But since jumping on my TL is akin to me trolling you, let’s ensure that doesn’t happen again. Blocking you
What utter ignorant nonsense! Have you even bothered to study his writing before and after. The full spectrum genius of Sri Aurobindo fully emerged after he came out of incarceration. For those who reside in the Spirit no silly prison can do harm.

You are the one trolling here by making wild allegations on a popular personality without substantiating your arguments. Once again, what you said is utter nonsense. Pls don't take it personally. It applies only to the unsubstantiated allegation.
I fail to.understand how u cud make such a ignorant comment .
I many a times wonder whether u really understand enough.
Sorry for this, but many a times Ur comments don't match Ur brief profile .

Well u can answer hindus as to why Pakistan became no go land for them.?
U have a fit against hindus as I hv observed , disregarding their fears, needs as if they were sub stany humans to u. Ur undeserved superiority complex against Hindus particularly blinds Ur vision.

Kashmiri pandits were made refugees not by past kings or their ghosts.
Something launched both medieval foreign invaders here and also expelled Kashmiri pandits.
Pity u refuse to see elephant in the room. Only then can true reform.n reconciliation start.
Else nothing
How can u compare intra Indic fights suffused broadly with Arya Kshatriya code of war with a totalitarian system's code of war like jihad /crusade that permanently erases & then
Mock Indians for "simbly blaming others religions"?
Have u lost it ?

But Indians resisted medieval jihad . That's why we still have not been arabised.
But why do u mock Indians as "simply blaming other religions?"
Of course they will blame for it was all under crude religious impulse that much damage was done to India then. Insensitive by u.
No. U mocked past Indians as safeguarding their self interest. Their self interest is ruling their kingdom as per Dharma. That's not selfishness.
U r too eager to be soft on abrahamic invading cults but jump on natives. Something fundamentally wrong with u.
Even hindus or Dharmic didn't spread it by sword as any Divine command.
Again u r shy to credit Indians but over criticize them in silly way.
But u r too soft on genocidal medieval abrahamics esp in indian context. I hv noticed this behaviour in u even before .

Here u implicitly assume all.native past kings acted out of pure selfishness. As if in a wrong sense. But they didn't wage religious genocidal wars, as per Divine scriptural command , did they ?
Something in u that scorns , is jealous of all.native stuff

It's not imaginary enemies but what happened to Kashmiri pandits was thanks to the same book that catapulted Mahmud of ghazi ghori, allauddin Khilji, Mughals, Turks.
Mind u ppl realise there has been no change in the book.
Have u been under a stone till now ? U get all wrong

Saami..you are wasting time engaging here...there are people who lived with Mother and yet betrayed Her..the ways of existence is too complex for us kids..may be they get it, may be not..we have to evolve for us, country and world in service of Master and Mother..let’s move..

Indians were regularly fighting and killing each other all through the history but some are shifting the blame to other religions. Palace intrigues in hundred of kingdoms are not fiction but many want us to believe that everyone was acting as per Dharma with evidence from poetry.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1109772708668035073?s=19
I highlighted the fact of man killing man. Between cults, between ethnicities, between kingdoms, between rival businesses, so on and so forth. In most cases there is no credible history. However, such facts are being used dishonestly for spreading hatred against a specific target

Indeed, I don't follow you much since there are glaring spaces or gaping holes between your sentences as well as logic. You expect the enemy to be sympathetic to your sentiments and play a friendly tournament like Imran Khan playing recently. (Expect a few more like NZ and Mali!)

Last two decades brought enormous prosperity to a huge number of Indians but they are unable to enjoy their wealth and good life due to this victimhood and whining propagated against imaginary enemies. So I take it as Divine plan to teach vairagya as has been always through ages.

See I'm arguing that whatever happened in the past is by Monarchs who are beyond Democratic or legal interrogation. So when you bring in Islam as an entity or agency, it's anomalous. What the kings did or didn't should be the point of attention but is of no avail. @fourfoldvision
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1109882339033702400?s=19
Might be, you may be right; but I have no right to question the wisdom of past kings. But giving it a religious colour is sectarian which I'm not willing to buy.

Just like Marx shouldn't be blamed for what Jyoti Basu did to WB, similarly all wrong actions of men shouldn't be put at the door of their religion. Both of us adore The Mother but differ. So perspectives relating to power, politics, self-interest are at fault. Such nuance needed
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1109888094726053888?s=19
Okay, that's a good theoretical beginning though not without problems. One is the "many lives" of great men and on which to focus or draw inspiration from. Like, many great philosophers and thinkers are despised because of their Nazi connection. But still what you say has merit.
Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
Those owing allegiance to any of the present crop of religions can't obviously claim admission to Savitri Era Religion and hence it's better to make the choice early without indulging in self-deception, any further.

Concentrating on the present by relying on common sense is important. Most people are agenda driven and out to misguide. They flout logic, give a spin to events, and invariably tend to invoke the past or some imagined scenario. No one tells the truth here; sad reality of Twitter.

This chowkidar syndrome is so hilarious and ridiculous. To believe that there is no corruption in the govt is so atrocious. Yes, there's so much sophistication in finance now that it's impossible to trace or prove any. But large contracts like in Highways surely aren't given free

Frankly, I find all forms of sectarianism tasteless, if not downright malicious. All faiths have produced some very fine people with a universalist spirit and disposition, and have produced also many more of the opposite inclination as well. "wheat and chaff"

If the problem was only with kings in bygone eras u shud be able to tell me a good number of Muslim-dominated ctrys & regions where non-Muslim religions are free & thriving. Are there any?

Dear Ola, I took your cab last night. A few mins into the ride, the driver asked me, "who will win the elections, sir?"
Ola, this is cheating. If our principal sources of election reporting are going to behave so irresponsibly, how do you expect us journos to write our reports?
