Good to see PM ji involved in Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary. Sri Aurobindo’s contributions to India’s Independence Movement is invaluable. His Dharma-based notion of Swaraj is essential in making India truly ātmanirbhar.
I just uploaded “Death, Dying and Beyond- Sri Aurobindo’s Perspective at Vaichariki program by Rashtram” to #…

On the eve of 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo on 15th August 2022, why not Him on a currency note?

more like earlier jail / exile of Tilak-Lalaji, withdrawal of Aurobindo Ghose n kalapani to Savarkar - left field open to this master snakeoil salesman. When Lokmanya / Lalaji came back, his fakery already has occupied minds of Hindus at large.
Raman Reddy: Hinduphobia, or the deeply embedded fear of the Hindu Rashtra in secular scholars, is due to political reasons and not cultural apprehension.
Learning f/other cultures in right spirit, recognising their place.. s/n deprive us of our identity nor our dignity, if that is what we are mostly concerned abt in these kinds of cultural disputes! - Raman Reddy ~ It is a long read. Read for self n benefit.

[As the Mother Alfassa did not simply repeat Aurobindo’s teachings, but actively interpreted them, often through the prism of her own experience or memory—subtle tactics, which also served to fold her grounding in occultism into the framework of Integral Yoga. Their model of collaboration (i.e., their relationship as a yogi and his shakti) serves as the basis for her authority, and like Blavatsky, Alfassa evades authorship in often ingenious ways. Here I examine two interrelated types of discursive strategies that allow her to achieve this: idiomatic, or functional translation ...]

Search for various facets of Sri Aurobindo and comparative dimensions will obviously intensify and Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF since 2005) has a rich archives of thousands of posts with invaluable links: selforum.blogspot.com Google Scholar profile:
With no formal institutional strings attached, I have been examining various methodological avenues for exploring Sri Aurobindo's oeuvre and his relevance, with due sympathy and devotion. PM's CFP on the greatest poet and philosopher should break new ground and critical response.
Focus on Sri Aurobindo is bound to accentuate curiosity on circumstances of his external life but the challenge is to dehistoricise. Imagining him without biographical twists and turns or even his books will be more profitable than just compiling quotations with connecting notes.
