Padma Shri to Ms Tara Jauhar for Literature & Education. She is fondly known as Tara Didi. She is a remarkable writer and educationalist who has dedicated her life to propagating the teachings of Shri Aurobindo.

Consciously imbibing the inspirational texts on those who had strong and great "mindset". For example, Sri Aurobindo's words on Indian reformer Dayananda Or one of the pioneers of India's freedom movement Lokmanya, or his lines on Will Power from Savitri can help great deal.
Replying to
Look at this symbol. Again 12. This symbol is of Mother Mirra Alfassa. Do read about her and also about Sri Aurobindo. Let me know what you think.
Sri Aurobindo maintained a unique hair swag throughout his life. No ordinary man, no ordinary hair.
It's a really eye-opening thing to realize that the current Indian political disagreements between the BJP/Indic movement and the liberal Hindus in the INC/Communists resembles the disputes between the Moderate and Extremist factions of the INC in the early 1900s
A big point of contention, even back then, was about the role of Indic faiths and traditions in public and political life. In this sense, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sri Aurobindo, Lokmanya Tilak, B.C. Pal, etc. were all arguing for a larger role for Hindu symbolism in public life
Replying to
Probably was true in Sri Aurobindo's time. Now it's all of these. 75 years of "independence".

Listen to "Art and Intellectual Development Are Not Essentially Spiritual Pursuits" by Sri Aurobindo Studies.
Intellectual Understanding and Understanding in the Consciousness
An anthology of response to Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
Revolutionary, philosopher, litterateur & seer, Sri Aurobindo remains one of the brightest minds India has ever had This book captures the evolution of his thought through excerpts from his political articles & speeches, essays, letters to disciples & public messages
Both prophetic of the challenges to come India’s way post-Independence and persuaded of her potential to overcome them, Sri Aurobindo’s vision of a new India moulds the spiritual with the political.
No outsider can “become Han” the way non-Whites can infiltrate western institutions at highest levels.
Replying to
The same conundrum Sri Aurobindo had during WW2, to side with the Allies or Hitler. Now, India is again at a crossroad. Siding with China would be a blunder.

The tweets I read are full of self-confidence and an air of finality. No one seems to be in doubt or allow others the benefit of doubt. Verdicts are certain with no scope to learn anything new. Mark of the Management culture but Sri Aurobindo can offer myriad ways of new thinking.
There is nothing wrong if the ruling party tweaks its ideological position to accommodate the good work done by past leaders so that various factions of society feel placated, instead of painting someone in black and white terms. The only thing I want is clarity and transparency.
The last fifty years have been spent through the distorted history and narrative peddled by the media and academia. Efforts are on to muddle the matter further instead of any credible rectification. The absence of any responsible institution for this task aggravates the situation.
Leave aside the distant past, even the history of the last fifty years is a contested space. Varying perceptions and political standpoints prevent truth from becoming apparent. Unrevised textbooks exacerbate the nebulous scenario. Thus, the ambivalence and confusion continues.
It's not unknown that Sri Aurobindo has been a victim of unhindered distorted history as a result of which a whole generation has been deprived of his liberating thought and aesthetics. It's needless to mention that acquaintance with his works can spur untrammelled educative haul.
Scores of top intellectuals are active on Twitter but no one seems to be very enthusiastic about Sri Aurobindo. No one with funds similarly has shown interest in propagating Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Such indifference is curious and signals abysmal ignorance of his significance.
There should be an award for neat and clean tweets by utilising full character limit. I often have to sacrifice the last full stop, of course. Too many hashtags make the tweet look untidy. Eminent handles like and use many short-cuts and IAST
