In Auroville, idealists fight govt over plans for a model city
Listen to "The Need to Shift the Consciousness Beyond the Ego" by Sri Aurobindo Studies.
A recent comics book from France translated and published in Tamil bravely explores the relation, ideological and logistical, between imposed religious dress code and radicalized terror - one of the comics creator having worked in anti-terrorism governmental work.
What you say is true with respect to organizational matters to a level. But when it comes to truth and facts there can be no compromise.
This is a three part critique of the distortions present in just one single essay of the latest book by historian Dr. Upinder Singh.
Followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can have partial reverence for Dayananda and Lal-Bal-Pal but not for Vivekananda, Tagore, Gandhi, Nehru, Subhas, Savarkar, Periyar, or Ambedkar. The evolutionary arrow is a narrow path and so, it's always necessary to keep it neat and tidy.
Odia and Bengali sound very close when spoken but look totally different in the written form. Of course, significant regional variations are there but the whole area from Agartala to Malkangiri is almost one linguistic space. I'm not sure if Maithili speakers can be included too.
In the last century, creating a self-reliant Odia identity independent of the Bengali dominance was the chief concern. Today, the priority should be how to benefit from our shared past and common culture or read each other's literature instead of just Jayadeba or Rasagola rivalry
Maybe it's because of language but Sandhya Mukhopadhyay is the greatest female singer in my opinion. Nirmala Mishra is greatest in Odia. Arati Mukhopadhyay is a great voice and Pratima Bandopadhyay is likeable too. Among the male, Manabendra Mukhopadhyay indeed rules over others.
Getting to listen to a variety of songs over mike round the year is a speciality here and the only Odia/Koshali song that's played is the Bengali version of Rangabati. We talk of international cultural exchange but even Odia hits fail to reach Authpur despite commercial prospects
The composer gets the full credit but his assistant and arranger of the orchestra also contribute to a great extent. It's a composite effort and finally something makes one song a hit and the other to languish.
They still dissect Buddha but wouldn't touch Sri Aurobindo. This philosophical stonewalling is strange!
[Candrakīrti, Śāntarakṣita, and Kamalaśīla seem to reject in their final positions that Buddha perceives anything at all, but is still able to teach - potter's wheel metaphor]
Your observation has merit except the fact that there is no merit driven free market economy anywhere in the world till now.
A common complain in the last century was prevalence of excessive sex and violence in the movies. Another was use of money and muscle power in politics. No one talks about these, these days. Books and medicines are sold at ten percent discount in all shops and people feel happy.
So many people constantly outrage and rant against appeasement, conversion, etc. Why fret? Just believe in The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and wait. All dominant religions are going to bite the dust, one by one. Yes, don't forget to keep a copy of their photographs at home. That's all
