Reason may be we've been almost totally unaware of the intertwined history of Anti-Semitism & racism in the West. Sri Aurobindo rejected the appropriation of the term Arya by Nazis and saw them for what they were. Yet a significant section of us fell for that Nazi appropriation.

We need to assimilate, not imitate foreign importations. Reminding the sage voice of Sri Aurobindo well over a century ago on Indian Renaissance!

Young people share their perspectives on the Y20 summit and what inspired them. Auroville's culture, architecture, community living, and commitment to sustainability left an impression on the minds of the young participants. #SriAurobindo #Auroville
Auroville's destruction continues on the ground for a year and a half, destroying homes, infrastructure, and forests.

When Sri Aurobindo was asked what the Supermind is he called it Truth-Consciousness. Ved calls it Rit-Chit or Satyam-Ritam-Brihat. Chit that possesses and is the Sat and Ritam completely. No separation between idea and action or subject and object, individual and universal in it.

Don't take any mythology, history, or philosophy to be true. Sri Aurobindo's writings provide good intellectual orientation but reading just one or two books or speeches can misguide. Also, keep away from the Blue Jackals of Hindutva brigade eager for appropriating #SriAurobindo.
