Svadhyaya 2.0, is open to any seeker who is looking to engage with the fundamental aspects of life, willing to understand the psychological landscape within, work on oneself and rigorously engage with the works of the seer Sri Aurobindo & his spiritual collaborator, The Mother.

The " deities matter" and Sri Aurobindo has given infinite freedom  in his path, the personal religious choice is always there. But the Supramental yoga is impossible without the Mother. Only the Mother can break the lid to initiate the Supermind descent.

But the "Hindus" have no copyright to Sanatan Dharma. Sri Aurobindo liberates the 3 major texts, the Vedas, the Upanishads n the Gita from the clutches of the fanatic Hindus n alone brings out their true yoga. They were addressed to Man for their transformation.
Sanatan Dharma for all who follow it. Not just for those who lived by d river Indus. All things were hidden or seen partially till Sri Aurobindo found their integrality. A muslim n a Christian has the same right to Sanatan Dharma. That is why Pondicherry is in the world map!
SA says in The Life Divine that Mind can guess the Supermind. Of Course, he means the slightly better enlightened minds than the average fanatics. No fanaticism in SA.  Nobody b4 Sri Aurobindo found integrality in Scriptures. One does not have to be a great sadhak to know that.
I follow Christians n Muslims in Twitter n I shall be quite embarrassed if they find me equating Sri Aurobindo with the orthodoxies of Hinduism.
One has every right to support the RSS ideology. I myself prefer the BJP over the Congress n the CPM. But then I can't invite Sri Aurobindo to come down to enjoy my private tea party with my sectarian friends!

@RabindraSutrad7 I am sorry I had to block a fanatic. Very offensive and fanatic. Too blind to learn. And also a noise in a discourse on Sri Aurobindo, who lived one thousand years ahead of us.

No confusions there. Contention was about characterising Integral Yoga as something that bloomed in isolation and not connected to Sanatana Dharma...while its genesis and experiential fact indicates it is but a continuation of the thread that the Vedic Rishis began...
‘Clutches of fanatic Hindus’ is a rather strong phrase..and Master ‘liberated’ the three works? Am sure you are entitled to your view..how much have you actually realised of any of these works? What have you seen so far, what states attained? Opinion without realisation is ok too
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235228704638291968?s=19
Of course it was Master who found the thread, like the Varaha of old, but doesn’t mean you label an entire race that held the knowledge closely and has poured untold amount of tapasya and faith and even paid price in blood as fanatics...
And yes, the desert cults have a right to Sanatana Dharma too...assuming we survive the conversion, crusade and jihad...yes, all can learn from us..no issues there..but you can’t label Hindus as fanatic just because we are reasonable..
I didn’t say Master was a fanatic..it was your assertion on Hindus..Master should tell whether am a great sadhak or not, but I will not let any slander Hindus or Sanatana Dharma using the name of Sri Aurobindo..fyi, Integral Yoga will become norm for Hindus..watch it play out 
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235233273347026945?s=19
Perhaps quackery perhaps not..live long enough to see it..until then accept with faith or dismiss as ravings of a lost one..but to those with half an eye, and able to trace the evolution of things it should not be too difficult to see the trend..
And surely you are no gatekeeper to the portals of Integral Yoga...nor the surveyor of its distant peripheries...so, your approval or rejection are both not of any consequence...
And what makes you think I said this out of my volition? He puts prophecies in the babbles of a child..please go ask Master...and there are more youth who listen to these in real world than on Twitter..and I don’t take Master’s name in vain...your worries are misplaced...
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235240993563213831?s=19
Why strain them at all? Don’t follow Sri Aurobindo! Easy right..as for me, I have no shame..I hold Master’s living word in my heart..to all who would wish to partake I give freely..to all who have the flame of Agni in them...
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235234173670944768?s=19

I think it is 'unwise' to compare both the stalwarts. both are spiritual giants, while SA poeticizes spirituality trial-blazing SANATANA DHARMA,...SV renders it with patriotic fervour to awaken people from thousand years of slumber under foreign domination. both preponderate yoga
https://twitter.com/rsbegur/status/1235218309064192000?s=19

And in all humility, what all states of consciousness have you attained to, so that we may consider your line of argument? What experiences have you had? What powers visited and or manifested?
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1234158908534452224?s=19

Proves you neither understand Gita not even the rudimentary of sadhana...may the Divine save those who value your words..and no, Auroville is not a superfluous feel good venture initiated by the Mother..it’s a mighty leap into the future meant for heroes of Spirit..

The narrative of "evil Hindu" being funded and agitprop-ed in the west, especially in academic instttns (which remain singularly silent on jihadis)& media and in India - is most likely a planned buildup to create sympathy/non-intervention for jihadi groups starting their ghazwas.
https://twitter.com/dikgaj/status/1235234296455213061?s=19
Hindus need to be prepared to go it all alone, as the mullah-jihadi wider campaign is coming. Hindus will have to fight a two front war against its own born-Hindu jihadi-lover fifth column, as well as jihadis and their western supporters. But its a fight that can and must be won.
the full flourishing of the "Hindu" will not be reached until it can turn the military situation in its favour, and expand its territorial hold over mullah infested dens of violently sadistic parasites to sanitize the jihadi bases all around India and do pest control.
every Hindu cultural festival shd be a no-compromise issue and any attempt to obstruct shd be openly called out as attempt to disrupt and destroy cultural continuity and public presence of the Hindu. There is ideological reinforcement in massive publicly participated celebrations.

Sir, the Asura has to be fought and in fact Mother Sri Aurobindo fought the bloodiest war to stop him. When the Mother duped Hitler into Eastern campaign it resulted in the greatest number of deaths & atrocities that have yet to be equaled in annals of warfare.

Even now China has been able to control the Coronavirus by extreme & brutal measures which, if it had not implemented, would have resulted in millions others suffering worldwide... there is no escaping the law of force. Any attempt to prematurely circumvent will only boomerang.

For KB, Can you give any indication of a timeframe? Then there are other questions like diversity. Unless articulated at length, such cryptic comments are no more than glorified quackery. False promises and unverified postures need to be avoided in public. https://t.co/UvRYlMEVJN

This includes Hindu fanaticism too

Sri Aurobindo considers Nation-ego as false subjectivism, which thrusts one's superiority in the name of national pride. The Nation-soul, is true subjectivism, which attempts to capture one's traditional heritage and values not as compensation for real or imagined injuries.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1234174704820219909?s=19
Sri Aurobindo is hugely misappropriated by a fringe political wing begging votes in his name. His nationalism was universal and pluralistic which binds whole humanity in one cord. ABVP doesn't even aspire to reach this goal.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1229473225584693249?s=19
The solution is in doing one's work selflessly and letting the Divine do His work. If people choose to play the games of padre and pundit, it is only themselves to be blamed.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1229087385889062912?s=19
Swami Vivekanand and Sri Aurobindo do not belong to a race, a nation or religion, but to the humanity. The evolutionary force will eventually marginalise anything which is sectarian and divisive.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1227218737327067138?s=19
Hindus can rise only if they can raise humanity. All other reactions are that of timid and cowardly. Sri Aurobindo takes the burden of raising the consciousness of the humanity of which Hindus are a fragment.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1224732579120607234?s=19

The Buddhist sociologist David Loy refers to this "National-Ego" as "Wego" -- it's still within the orbit of narcissistic mind.
https://twitter.com/fourfoldvision/status/1234180408289284096?s=19

So admirably put and absolutely unequivocal. Additionally, there's no agony involved in Sri Aurobindo's Evolutionary vision of the future for it's inextricably imbued with the Vedic harmony and optimism. How even Elst misses this is surely a mystery. He hasn't read #SriAurobindo.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1224747750870249472?s=19
Anonymity provides the luxury of overdose of bravado but the reality is much more complex and unpredictable. Each language in India is a distinct Nation and the States need to be given Sovereignty under a loose Federation. The fate of erstwhile USSR has to be replicated in India.
So, what's the solution you suggest? Separate territories and separate Constitutions? Silence on that misguides the people. Coherent and cogent socio-political blueprint needed. And unlike most others here, you are well aware of Sri Aurobindo.

Sir, please desist. What you are saying goes against the very foundational edict of the Gita...it adharma has infested neighbours or friends or even family then it has to be dealt with...you just don’t seem to know what forces you are aiding..stop please...
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1234147538065707009?s=19
Proves you neither understand Gita not even the rudimentary of sadhana...may the Divine save those who value your words..and no, Auroville is not a superfluous feel good venture initiated by the Mother..it’s a mighty leap into the future meant for heroes of Spirit..

This Yoga has no single set method, so declares Sri Aurobindo himself. There are some basic principles..for example ‘aspiration, rejection and surrender’ offered for pursuit and practise. These are often abstract deliberately for the true sadhana is not one set in stone for all..
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1234134760093388800?s=19
..but is an outflowering from oneself, the almost spontaneous combustion of Agni within and his onward progress..and our pursuit and alignment of being to his directions..apologies if one sounds ambiguous, one speaks from experience...that said...
Begin with Adventure of Consciouness by Satprem..that will give a high level roadmap of the Yoga and its aims. Assuming you have some grounding in Vedantic terms and their inner sense, then you may begin with The Life Divine..a very detailed outlining the basis of our aims...
That done, and some practise on your end, affirmed perhaps by some inner signs, you may move to The Synthesis of Yoga. If wondering about how the emotional fallout would be, read the Collected Poems for how all this impacts all parts of being especially vital emotional...
If all this has yet to hook you..touch Savitri..in all these steps try to have a poise of openness..and aspiration..what Sri Aurobindo writes is power more than words and semantics, it can work on one even if one doesn’t immediately grok it mentally..good luck..may Agni aid you!

You remember Him. He calls you. Asap. Was passing by  #Vadodara on way 2 #Delhi. Had a little time. Thought of #SriAurobindo and his stay here. Something happened which I never imagined. Was brought to Ashram . Had darshan meditation. Thank you Mother. https://t.co/jbVVdqqeyg

"All fanaticism is false because it is a contradiction of the very nature of God and of Truth." -Sri Aurobindo, 23.10.39. 
Clearly, this includes Hindu fanaticism too. 
Let's not make a virtue of it.

Hinduism is not as much a religion as a way of life, in a sublime sense, a spiritual journey. The Hindutva brigade wants to hard code it like any other abrahamic religion.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1218478081666469893?s=19
No organised religion is going to take humanity to the next level of consciousness. With the level of toxicity and suspiciousness, all religions have become anti-human and weapons of mass destruction.
I wish the sublimest form of every human endeavour is to realize the One. The moment I label it as Hinduism, I am labeling everything else as non-Hindu. This is against the very premise Hinduism is trying to achieve, the one Brahman in every being. It is as simple as that.
Well, good question. All possibilities are within "me" and not without. Till religion guides inner seeking it is helpful. When it divides people it becomes toxic. To stop this toxicity, first thing, spirituality must be delinked from politics.
Nobody can take over one's life if one doesn't want to. Keep politics out of religion, it will no longer be toxic.
I have widely read Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo. What I learnt there's difference between spirituality which is the self's journey to find its own highest Self, and organized religions. These are damned nonsense, hypocrisy, masks for political hooliganism and nothing else.
https://twitter.com/Nimai_Swain/status/1218526246574837760?s=19
What else is the goal of religion, other than facilitating the highest form of realization? There is no confusion. Anything that negates the Oneness, the Undivisible is based on ajnana, falsehood. All religions today are divisive and against the principles of Oneness.
If hinduism defines true spirituality let's go and live it rather than fight to prove that mine is better than yours.
The Secret of the Veda is one of the outstanding expository works by Sri Aurobindo which captures its gist and spirit. He silences the western skeptics who perceived it "to be merely an interesting remnant of barbarism". Christianity wouldn't venture into Aurobindian territory.
