Savitri Era September 27, 2006 Manibhai's razor Religious festivals and the Deities are being given undue importance and instead of appreciating the writings of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo about them in abstraction they are presented literally. @NathTusar

Tweets by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Indians are so habituated in worshiping multiple idols that exclusive faith and surrender to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo sounds as fascist. But for Savitri Era Religion, that's the reality. Those flouting are themselves to blame. Coming under the umbrella of a common faith crucial

When you probe a little bit more what Sri Aurobindo, the greatest son of modern India, has accomplished will come to the fore. You needn't agree with him but as an Indian, it's essential to be acquainted with his poetry and philosophy. Link to his writings https://incarnateword.in/cwsa

In the Uttarpara speech he spoke of encountering god everywhere in the jail and thereafter his associates treated him as god. He is said to have become one with god in 1926 when the Ashram took a formal shape. More and more disciples gathered and thought that he is Supreme Divine

No greater self-delusion than assuming that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo established the Ashram for furtherance of the Hindu cause. Even to say that they attempted a Vedic revival would be wrong. Descent of the Supermental is an unprecedented task and it was their lifelong pursuit.

Integral Yoga is not a free-for-all affair. Allegiance to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the first and foremost principle. Not worshiping other gods or gurus is the second. Realisation and siddhi belong to traditional yoga; so renouncing old formulas is the last but not the least.

Our job is to disseminate the message of Sri Aurobindo despite criticisms. Most people haven't read his works and misconceptions about him are stupendous. Even among the devotees also so much of difference of opinion persists. I therefore created the Savitri Era banner for unity.

I became a father on this day forty years back and The Mother's writings on education and parenting had stood me in good stead. I had studied a bit of educational psychology in the college but the kind of things The Mother says in Science of Living is simply marvelous. Gratitude.

Be a part of the world community of Savitri Erans

Time and again I have said that Sri Aurobindo is a University. Enter from any corner and subjects after subjects open their vistas. It's a slow and steady journey; so join early. Be Indian; be Aurobindian. But the aim should be to be a part of the world community of Savitri Erans pic.twitter.com/PO9LKeMiZg

No one has read Sri Aurobindo barring a handful. They put him under the rubric of religion and not philosophy proper. He is rarely included in the syllabus. He is not recognised as a poet. Uninformed passing references can be found in books dealing with Evolutionary psychology.

It's impossible to think of modern India without Raja Ram Mohan Roy who was born in 1772. Interestingly, Sri Aurobindo was born exactly a century later. The philosophical synthesis that Sri Aurobindo built is yet to be accepted by Indians. Tradition and superstition are reigning.

My tweets are not meant for devotees but understanding how Hitler is the central theme of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's Divine manifestation is most crucial. All the rest is side show. The hostile force that had entered Hitler hasn't been defeated conclusively. Beware of fascists!

Steer clear of Marxists/Congress sponsored history in the same way as the skewed accounts of the past by Hindutva enthusiasts. Sri Aurobindo has to be kept at the centre to understand the past and the future. Personal preference or repulsion are immaterial before search for truth

Sri Aurobindo declined to meet him but that doesn't exactly mean that Sri Aurobindo was against Gandhi. Churchill was wrong in many respects but Sri Aurobindo found him to be the most fit instrument to confront Hitler. Thus, history is a bit more comlex when #SriAurobindo enters.

Sambhavami Yuge Yuge

Twitter has been a great success as a communication medium due to its limit on characters. Quickly reading succinct views expressed by others is so refreshing and educative. One may pin a photo once in a while but pasting a poster regularly is encroachment. I detest the visuals.

Twitter gives me the sense of belonging to a Democracy since I can freely vent my pent up thoughts and feelings. But most here dread RT as a plague. Communication is a relay race where the baton ought to be passed on to the next person. Knowledge and ideas need to shared, widely.

Discovering by intuition and developing by logic

 Goutam Ghosal

There was no artificial divide between spiritual and secular knowledge in ancient India; the pursuit of knowledge in ancient India included a deeper intuitive way of knowing in addition to rational and scientific ways. Discovering by intuition and developing by logic was the way.
