Explaining consciousness is not a purely scientific question, because consciousness is not a publicly observable phenomenon. We ultimately have to choose among various *philosophical* proposals, & panpsychism IMHO avoids problems of other options. philipgoffphilosophy.com/uploads/
Pan-psychism appears not to be a real thing. It has no conceptual philosophical or cultural meaning. It just reflects the void in our understanding which should be filled my more sensible discourse let’s discuss (I’m happy to be wrong but tell me why)
Replying to
It's not a question amenable to current scientific orthodoxy - agreed. Not sure it helps to set up "philosophy" as some separate realm competing with it? Better help science see the adjustments it needs to make at its boundary conditions.
It’s true, panpsychism (or panexperientialism) is not a new science. It’s a new metaphysics that frees up science from trying to solve impossible problems so it can focus on the real ones.
Well, let me qualify. Panpsychism isn’t new. It’s really quite ancient, even primordial if you take it generally & view animism as a species of it. It was the default view for most of humanity for most of history, only recently eclipsed by the weirdness of modern materialism.
New Episode! "Yogic View of Beauty"

Why Gandhi matters ? He translated the metaphysics of oneness into practice! If your religion commits you to a belief that all are one quite literally how should you respond to the other who is one with you ? With love and ahimsa ! this I think matters
Replying to
A saner approach would be to bring Gandhi down from the pedestal of Mahatma and Tagore from "gurudev". None of them had any divinity. Now having said Gandhi was a politician, I must say his politics was not above hate, prejudices and at times intellectual dishonesty.
Replying to
Aurobindo articles on Varna and democracy available online.
His insights are need to read by Indians.
A woman eloping with her lover is been happening since centuries and in every part of the world.
Here's sharing some Indian Miniature Arts on the same.
Love was never easy in those days, so as in today.

It does not require any outside data to know who you are. Your own nature is intrinsic, not the product of the opinions of others. Knowing yourself is simply a matter of Being, not of any external action or thoughts of the mind.

Food is the cornerstone of economy and life. It can be the springboard for progress and excellence. What we lack is marketing skill and branding exercise. Communication ability of people in general is poor. No concerted effort to bolster at least one sector of culture or skills.
It's well known that most educated people in Odisha are thoroughly dissatisfied with the present govt, except of course the govt servants and other beneficiaries. If they join hands a lot of things can be done through independent effort but unfortunately they all support the BJP.
Those who can, do; those who can't, tweet. Yet, some amount of coordination on issues relating to Odisha can be useful. Taking up some cause instead of peddling trivia and fun should be a matter to pause and ponder. Empty slogans and birthday celebrations will not get us anywhere.
It's quite heartening that Gathani Music Odia has uploaded songs of many old movies but the spelling in some videos is defective. Adding a few words in Odia can also be a good option. Saregama, unfortunately, is yet to launch an exclusive channel for Odia.
Having been exposed to the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from an early age, I haven't read any book by Indian authors. Such an insulation has helped me to remain focused and avoid stupidity. One book is worth: Humanization of Transcendental Philosophy by R. Sundara Rajan
It's a matter of regret that most people thoughtlessly chase celebrities, glamour, and current fads. The media has a vested interest and the commercial aspects act like an octopus. Savitri Era Learning Forum (SELF since 2005) has been persuading for perusing Sri Aurobindo's works.
