Sri Aurobindo was convinced that appeasement of fundamentalism would further whet its hunger for more. He stood for a deeper solution of the Hindu-Muslim tangle. "...Hindu-Muslim unity cannot be effected by political adjustments or Congress flattery. https://t.co/gU7GYDPx2U

Savitri Era Party came into being twelve years back in 2007. Bringing Sri Aurobindo's knowledge to the forefront is possible if his followers form a formidable force to reckon with. Solidarity and concerted action is essential for this lofty goal; Hindutva needs to be jettisoned.

Hindutva votaries are recounting their war in Rediff and Sulekha against Western academia but Savitri Era had other tasks in 2005. Although Ken Wilber had brought Sri Aurobindo to wider notice, his portrayal was underinformed and unsympathetic. Rod Hemsell & @akazlev fought that.

People of India are being manipulated and exploited in various ways and those who are in the know are in the rolls of perpetrators. Deep State and Big Data are calling the shots in connivance with religious predators. The positive agenda of Savitri Era can combat vulnerabilities.

Debates prior to Sri Aurobindo must be understood for locating him properly.

June 25 the date on which #Emergency was imposed is also the birth anniversary of George Orwell, whose landmark novel 1984 was about totalitarianism.

George Orwell was born in Bihar(Motihari) as was JP who became the face of the anti Emergency protests.

Some coincidence this is.

https://twitter.com/GabbarSanghi/status/1143533596864499712?s=19

Laloo Yadav who was JP's follower was also from Saran, and the lines JP uttered  for Indira "Singhasan Khali Karo" were by fellow Bihari Ramdari Singh Dinkar. Not to mention George Fernandes won from Muzaffarpur.

Looks like Bihar has a long connection with #Emergency

Aghora's are the real Vama Margi. Shakta's at large follow Vama Marg. Vama Marg is individualistic. Real Vama Margis are better as lonely. They know & worship death, that's why so many Ugra devatas in the Vama Marg.

Good people in twitter: appreciate the poetry of Sri Aurobindo- Rose of God, Savitri, Sonnets. Appreciate the prose n plays by Sri Aurobindo.

You may not like Sri Aurobindo's world view, but he does not re-tell the Scriptures. He has his own interpretation of them. Besides he goes beyond the Vedic rishis in wisdom. Like, the Vedic rishis could only dream of "descent" n the change of the body. Auro makes it a reality !

I learnt some English only by reading Sri Aurobindo. So everybody becomes strong reading  Sri Aurobindo.

Despite my putting SA in a comparative framework, the Bengali intellectuals have been trying hard to black out Sri Aurobindo by excluding him from the syllabus. Obviously, the resistance is coming from the left intelligentsia.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1140552351511527424?s=19

In Literature, Sri Aurobindo’s Shakespeare criticism is unmatched by any Indian author. In philosophy, he is pushed away by Radhakrishnan, a second hand philosopher. In the field of Education, he stands far ahead of Gandhi. Then why not Sri Aurobindo in d syllabus?

Only in one department of Visva-Bharati ! Very sad !

Gandhi is moral; Sri Aurobindo spiritual. Gandhi is Western; Sri Aurobindo is Indian n Global. Radhakrishnan is not an original philosopher; Sri Aurobindo is an original philosopher. And yet Sri Aurobindo is neglected in the syllabi!  Why ? Ignorance or Politics ?

I think so. In Bengal it is politics. If Sri Aurobindo is there in the syllabus nobody will read the third class left sociologists!

Hitler was a secularist. Like most modern Europeans, he saw Christianity (& by extension religion) as obsolete superstition. He valued Catholic institutions such as celibate (as against hereditary) priesthood, perforce recruited from the masses. Count him in for anti-Brahminism.

People wish to see themselves in every great story and they enter the fable, in an expensive way, by lending the actors the identity of their tribe, their nation. We see this clearly in sports nationalism which is not a separate kind of nationalism but a part of the same emotion.

Celibacy is unnatural. The Vatican should permit priests to marry. In India, the ISKCON, Aurobindo Ashram & many other movements promote celibacy among followers giving rise to frustration & perversion. Religious garbage is an incubator of mental diseases & celibacy adds to it.

Incestual marriages are already permitted thing in the world though. Muslims and South Indian Hindus and even among some Christians.

Is incest not a common thing already in the world? Is it not a fact that many Muslim marry their cousins? https://t.co/JODACfmuKj

So the harm principle, but not the harm principle. The liberal ethic states that 'do whatever until it doesn't harm people' but for you it's 'do whatever until it doesn't harm me'. 

But by the same principle you can literally justify incest. Both are based on the same construct.

Alt-Right is a cathedral conspiracy to undermine Western RW (whose natural origins are NS), so it is not a right term to apply in India context.

https://twitter.com/handle_anonymus/status/1138292431617634304?s=19

Raytas are abhorrent creatures. On one hand they have visceral hatred for muslims, and only reason they join RW is because they are afraid that Islam would end their public degeneracy (not private, as Islam encourages degeneracy as long as you could keep it under wraps)

But since Raytas are liberal, they could not help but seek validation & jump like dogs whenever a Muslim does anything not strictly Islamic

These creatures embody worst of humanity. They are driven by unprincipled hate and are insecure beta seeking validation of people they hate

I find character of Raytas as deeply disturbing.🤷‍♂️

Whether it is their unprincipled hatred for Islam, trying to misinterpret Hinduism to justify their vices, or jumping like dogs whenever a Muslim act as less than Islamic. They would be worst kind of people to know in real life.

Great News! Santiniketan Sri Aurobindo Nilay crisis solved after 7 months by the kind intervention of Sri Matriprasadji of Pondicherry Ashram. We shall be starting our daily programs again with the help of students of all communities frm this month.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1135572577517096960?s=19

Santiniketan Sri Aurobindo Nilay  is a living centre. It has  been d reign of adverse forces since 2009. Matriprosad ji came today and instructed us to re-start the work. But we are reluctant to enter the place because of Kolkata Sri Aurobindo Bhavan's goons occupying the place.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1126189106650738689?s=19

In the shut down of Santiniketan Sri Aurobindo Nilay frm Nov 18 to May 19  the Muslim students were also unhappy because they were missing the meditations.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1138434102254743552?s=19

By virtue of his large integral vision Sri Aurobindo can enter into any discourse, material n spiritual. We have to take him out of the limited circle to the vast fields of life, where all can participate in his all-embracing knowledge. All material problems  can be solved.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1138433091444269056?s=19

The best way to start reading Sri Aurobindo is to give 20 minutes to his Letters on Yoga twice or thrice a week. After that things become easier. Life Divine is a strict No for the beginners. It may start at least after 6 months.   There may be exceptions. But they r rare.

Exactly! I started with a Bengali translation of Bases of Yoga  by Nolini Kanta Gupta. Bought it frm Howrah station. Then much later read the original Bases of Yoga. Then 2 chapters of the Future Poetry to answer questions in MA!

'Bases of Yoga', 'Lights on Yoga', 'More lights on Yoga'. All 3 small selection of his letters. Complete collection may be a bit overwhelming at start. At the same time one needs to SEE Him. 'Evening Talks' & 'Twelve years with Sri Aurobindo' by Nirodbaran. Helps a lot.

One should note the date one starts reading Sri Aurobindo. Also, read effortlessly, at random.Those words are "Force in action". Translation never helped me, though..

I was introduced to the 🌎of Gazals by this beautiful album of Immortal Jagjit Singh— Unforgettable ! Just outstanding !!

V.g.m. ! My dear #Integral 🧘‍♂️is about Transformation of all , including Brahmn! Otherwise there’re lots of 🧘‍♀️& religions which claim that God is Ultimate! Only #SriAurobindo Dared To Transform !! Starting from Himself!! It’s said that Lord Shive was rather slow to SA’s attempts !

https://twitter.com/Sanjays81301051/status/1138290561243275266?s=19

It’s all about the transformation!! Gods included !! That’s the essence of #IntegralYoga by #SriAurobindo

There is a collective element which is definitely about more and more opening to Their influence. The transformation is happening even now, does not depend on our volitions..His formula accounts for all falsehood/ignorance. So unstoppable. With, without or inspite, work goes on.

They are debunking Sri Aurobindo n trying to belittle Sri Aurobindo's socio-political ideas, nationalism n humanism. Because nobody will read their books if the readers get a taste of Sri Aurobindo’s Human Cycle.

One can apply all the theories of Sri Aurobindo to all the aspects of life, provided one is deep into his major texts. That way one can feel the recent despair of Katrina, the secret force of Rajpal Yadav n the psychological trauma of M.S. Dhoni ! All life is a field of yoga.

My limited understanding --> The Inner supports the Outer. So people who say devotion is more important are right in a way.. But more often than not, Vocalising the inner truth is made an excuse to save one from doing the outer labor & meanwhile also neglecting the inner truth

https://twitter.com/Auro_Mere/status/1126193136231780352?s=19

I come at it from another view. All is the Divine, hence a piety that approaches ritual paraphernalia and gestures out of either faith or gained inner perception of its divinity, must not be trivialised by mindset blind to the manifest sacred.

Acknowledging the Indian roots of the Vedas etc. is again wrongly understood to be a concessions away from the AIT.

Nehruvian and Marxist paradigms have collapsed like a house of cards

Our “Indian” nationalism is not exclusionary. Our freedom fighters didn’t hate even the British - just wanted them to leave. The Indian republic is founded & runs on liberal nationalist values. In India, it is the politics of exclusivist nationalism that is the aberration.

https://twitter.com/acorn/status/1117304954191003648?s=19

What we understand by “liberalism” owes itself to John Stuart Mill and his father James Mill, both of whom hated India. As employee of East India company, James Mill wrote a biased history of India. Calling our own freedom movement to fit within those terms is a disgrace.

Current Indian Republic is a continuation of the ancient republics, this is why the word “Gana Rājya” was consciously used. It is not a system made by British colonizers. Indians are citizens, not subjects. However, our state institutions are not sufficiently decolonized yet.

The ghost of James Mill is still haunting our educational institutions, our intellectuals, and most disgracefully, our judiciary. It needs to be exorcised. We must define our ideals from our own culture, through Indian words. Not borrow them from problematic colonial history. https://t.co/6LeMVq9Mhy

@GoutamGhosal2 When it's about Sri Aurobindo philosophy Sir Goutam Ghoshal seems to be an epitome. Even a very short conversation with him makes you learn so much things which will remain valuable for the rest of your life. Thank you so much, Sir.

https://twitter.com/lopamudra_adak/status/1117107616172273665?s=19

But which rituals are crude & which are not? Has Sri Aurobindo specified anywhere? And just because certain things are not necessary for the very specific purpose Sri Aurobindo had in mind for his yoga, would that automatically make them all "crude"?

In what little I have read so far I have not come across anything negative Sri Aurobindo had to say about any such "crudities". That's y when his teaching is characterised in that manner it sounds to me like we may ourselves be reducing it to a kind of Aurobindonian sectarianism.

True. But "beyond all religions" can be said of any Hindu/Indian spiritual luminary starting from the Rishis of India & including those around whom many religions have formed, e.g. Shiva, Krishna, Rama or Buddha or Ramakrishna. And even these just scratch the surface.

I agree in places Sri Aurobindo does mention superficial accretions, eg the quote in which he refers to the Hinduism "that takes its stand on the kitchen". But he never dwells on these issues. Rather it is malicious people like Peter Heehs who exaggerate them out of all proportion

https://twitter.com/viryavaan/status/1117227203094249472?s=19

And the immeasurable Hindu phenomenon is nothing if not a vast network of free traditions emerging growing colliding combining separating evolving ... often in very unusual & sometimes in not very comforting ways...

If we are not careful to be circumspect we will end up denouncing the very richness that makes it what it is. Even in Hinduisms shallow & stagnant puddles we cud find outlets to oceans of significance & wonder. Sri Aurobindo himself found living divinity in an ordinary Kali idol,

A minor but important clarification please: Although, he was named Arabinda, his name appears as editor of Arya in 1914 as Sri Aurobindo Ghose. Subsequently however he signs as Sri Aurobindo and his books are published under this adopted name (as one composite word: श्रीअरविन्द).

Founding of Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Savitri Era Party (2007) has liberated The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from earlier narrow representations and ownership. Twitter facilitating such dissemination is certainly in the evolutionary direction.

Repeating some methodological planks: Heehs imbroglio exposed ideological bankruptcy and ethical vacillation of a large number of long time Sri Aurobindo scholars. So what I say under SEP are my own formulations which may or may not match Sri Aurobindo's published pronouncements.

Muscular Hindutva has posed a great challenge to civilisational values and both Nehruvian and Marxist paradigms have collapsed like a house of cards. Sri Aurobindo was prescient enough to produce an antidote a century back. Tactical maneuvering is not abnormal in a war situation.

A very un-Aurobindonian concept. A federal union with powers at the local panchayat level is Aurobindonian vision. (Even Gandhi's vision is similar).

Sheer brilliance & ingenuity of Sri Aurobindo's writings

We had high hopes in 2014 that Sri Aurobindo would now adorn the centrestage but after checking a large number of tweets it's evident that even in 2019 he is nowhere near anyone's wishlist. Really an unfortunate aspect for a nation which reserves ignominy for the greatest Indian.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1109550604433539072?s=19

Sri Aurobindo is regularly accused as an escapist and a slew of 'mudslinging' has been documented by Peter Heehs in his book, The Lives of Sri Aurobindo. A masterly work but also famous for its skew. Parts of it are available online free.

I have recommended this book for more than a dozen times since 2012. https://t.co/RfubnzjtOg

Hitler and His God: The Background to the Nazi Phenomenon by Georges van Vrekhem is essential reading in this context which documents how intensely #SriAurobindo was involved in the whole exercise from the "tranquility" of his Ashram in Puducherry. https://t.co/niQNLfkLq4

Twitter being an open platform, all kinds of views need to be respected. Uninformed or unpalatable opinions also need to be circulated so that they come to the notice of a bigger audience leading to a wider engagement and animated debate. “A drop of ink may make a million think.”

Scholarship is a lifelong affair and narratives keep changing. Apart from his intellectual prowess, Sri Aurobindo did disclose in public (Uttarpara speech) that he can see the future, unlike other mortals. Contesting that claim is way beyond our faculties. https://t.co/6JSzvwkDPU

But why do u mock Indians as "simply blaming other religions?"

Of course they will blame for it was all under crude religious impulse that much damage was done to India then. Insensitive by u.

No. U mocked past Indians as safeguarding their self interest. Their self interest is ruling their kingdom as per Dharma. That's not selfishness.

U r too eager to be soft on abrahamic invading cults but jump on natives. Something fundamentally wrong with u.

Even hindus or Dharmic didn't spread it by sword as any Divine command.

Again u r shy to credit Indians but over criticize them in silly way.

But u r too soft on genocidal medieval abrahamics esp in indian context. I hv noticed this behaviour in u even before .

Indians were regularly fighting and killing each other all through the history but some are shifting the blame to other religions. Palace intrigues in hundred of kingdoms are not fiction but many want us to believe that everyone was acting as per Dharma with evidence from poetry.

I highlighted the fact of man killing man. Between cults, between ethnicities, between kingdoms, between rival businesses, so on and so forth. In most cases there is no credible history. However, such facts are being used dishonestly for spreading hatred against a specific target

Indeed, I don't follow you much since there are glaring spaces or gaping holes between your sentences as well as logic. You expect the enemy to be sympathetic to your sentiments and play a friendly tournament like Imran Khan playing recently. (Expect a few more like NZ and Mali!)

Last two decades brought enormous prosperity to a huge number of Indians but they are unable to enjoy their wealth and good life due to this victimhood and whining propagated against imaginary enemies. So I take it as Divine plan to teach vairagya as has been always through ages.

See I'm arguing that whatever happened in the past is by Monarchs who are beyond Democratic or legal interrogation. So when you bring in Islam as an entity or agency, it's anomalous. What the kings did or didn't should be the point of attention but is of no avail. @fourfoldvision

Might be, you may be right; but I have no right to question the wisdom of past kings. But giving it a religious colour is sectarian which I'm not willing to buy.

Just like Marx shouldn't be blamed for what Jyoti Basu did to WB, similarly all wrong actions of men shouldn't be put at the door of their religion. Both of us adore The Mother but differ. So perspectives relating to power, politics, self-interest are at fault. Such nuance needed

Okay, that's a good theoretical beginning though not without problems. One is the "many lives" of great men and on which to focus or draw inspiration from. Like, many great philosophers and thinkers are despised because of their Nazi connection. But still what you say has merit.

Savitri Era of those who adore,

Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Those owing allegiance to any of the present crop of religions can't obviously claim admission to Savitri Era Religion and hence it's better to make the choice early without indulging in self-deception, any further.

Concentrating on the present by relying on common sense is important. Most people are agenda driven and out to misguide. They flout logic, give a spin to events, and invariably tend to invoke the past or some imagined scenario. No one tells the truth here; sad reality of Twitter.

This chowkidar syndrome is so hilarious and ridiculous. To believe that there is no corruption in the govt is so atrocious. Yes, there's so much sophistication in finance now that it's impossible to trace or prove any. But large contracts like in Highways surely aren't given free

Frankly, I find all forms of sectarianism tasteless, if not downright malicious. All faiths have produced some very fine people with a universalist spirit and disposition, and have produced also many more of the opposite inclination as well. "wheat and chaff"

If the problem was only with kings in bygone eras u shud be able to tell me a good number of Muslim-dominated ctrys & regions where non-Muslim religions are free & thriving. Are there any?

Dear Ola,  I took your cab last night. A few mins into the ride, the driver asked me, "who will win the elections, sir?"

Ola, this is cheating. If our principal sources of election reporting are going to behave so irresponsibly, how do you expect us journos to write our reports?

Haldia Township (West Bengal) is ideal.
