The accusation that Jews have a “dual loyalty” — that they are not to be trusted because their true allegiance is to their religion, rather than to the country in which they live — dates back thousands of years. https://t.co/ygiAVImTdd

Watch this, and also read @BradStone's fascinating book, "The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon"

During the freedom struggle everybody wrote huge volumes of literature to inspire the natives. Tilak also did, some were inspiring some were below par. There were many like him. But nobody should be above criticism. If people can criticize Dayanand Saraswati why not Tilak?

And equated salvation and moksha? 🤣🤣🤣 this is why the ancients had a rigorous way of testing aspirants before revealing the sacred path..without that everyone with a keyboard and internet becomes an Yogi, Rishi and Brahmarishi in a single tweet..

And what are you even saying? As one who is living out the process of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga your statement is just silly...
Don’t need to take either extreme..all can be and has been integrated..the Vedic vision of ‘Sons of Heaven, by Body of the Earth’ has been given a fresh and new impetus by Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga...check out if you haven’t yet..
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1164206112209428480?s=19
Sir..of course I didn’t know your specific inclination...hence mentioned..if She has stepped in then it’s a complete conquest..and the dichotomy would not arise at all..🙏

24) Conscious Nights: The Mother's OBEs during the night started getting accompanied by sleepwalking, but not of the ordinary kind, She would write poems during these sleepwalking sessions!
In Her sleep She would meet several 'teachers', including one whom She called 'Krishna': https://t.co/obZk51diFB

29) Memories of the Past: One common misconception about the Mother and #SriAurobindo is that they were such or such person in their past life, for the WHOLE of that life; which is not true.
The Mother cleared this while narrating an experience of Hers from when She was ~18/19: https://t.co/wlgnzCavKP
Could you provide a source sir? I believe these are Mother's words as reported by the disciples (like Champaklal, Udar).. It is more likely that Mother's words meant something else than what was construed by them..
The quote I have is from Agenda of May 10, 1969: https://t.co/T4dK7T4SES
https://twitter.com/Auro_Mere/status/1092463978054205440?s=19
1st, #SriAurobindo never mentioned it directly, It was the disciples who inferred these conclusions based on their own understanding
2nd, To someone who is a Hindu and believes in incarnations and Vibhutis, the idea wouldn't be weird at all!
I don't think that the Mother said that sir.. However to us, both were Avatars and Mother confirms the fact multiple times :)
https://twitter.com/Auro_Mere/status/1164399350346207232?s=19
Yes sir, She called the being in Her vision Krishna which was later revealed to be #SriAurovindo. But the two Avatars may have had followed completely different psychic lines

Of course Sri Aurobindo never made a difference between Himself and Krishna in the Sadhana, and after 1926 there was another type of relation which one can go on at length about :)

That's what I stick to too. Takes enough to battle inner foes, to even bother about outer ones, especially those who are this inconsequential.

It is a genuine challenge to read #SriAurobindo no doubt.
Easier to start with correspondence and talks.
They have shorter sentences, are more personal and humorous.
These run into 4/5 volumes easily.
As a teenager, I relished the Master's plays and short stories.

Have you checked out the video recordings of several informative talks on our prenatal education related website? Two new resources added recently:
1) षड्भावाज्जायते जीवो प्रकृतिश्च तदाश्रिता
2) Importance of Rajaswala Paricharya in Supraja Janma

Any attempt towards restoring the past in its outward features and fit it to the modern system of life and education will be failure. Better to focus on the fundamental principles which are for all time and to discover a still more effective discipline to replace the old one.

The stupidity is taking the literal outer sense varuni as wine... suraa, vaarunii, soma are synoymous with amrita and ananda...one can not just forget the symbolisim behind it and translate it the way one wishes.

Self-conquest is the very law of the Aryan culture. Attainment of Self-perfection, indeed, is the aim of that Self-conquest. The Self-perfected Arya is Arhat. What a profound meaning of the word Arya explained by Sri Aurobindo!
https://twitter.com/Sampadananda/status/1163031234039046144?s=19

Hinduism post Bengal Renaissance is an adulterated religion and puritans have every right to restore the original ethos. Hindutva unfortunately aims at political supremacy by neglecting this. But the Evolutionary arrow as perceived by Sri Aurobindo moves in the opposite direction
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1163023522626600960?s=19
Many don't know that Sri Aurobindo was a Christian and The Mother, a Jew. So, there is nothing unusual about their Western connection. Besides, their collaboration in bringing out ARYA in August 1914 was meant for integration of East and West by elbowing out Theosophical Society.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1164428004279214080?s=19
Any admirer of Sri Aurobindo has to go through a prolonged phase of exploring Homer, Heraclitus, Plotinus, Dante, Goethe,  Fichte, Blake, Nietzsche, Spencer, et al in order to develop an integral understanding of him. Those who suffer from West-phobia must shed their inferiority complex.
