I'm watching a live stream of a book launch. This man says that Aurobindo & Vivekananda belonged to the same lineage. No, they took drastically different paths. Vivekananda & Ramakrishna tried to leave the world like most but Aurobindo tried to bring the Divine down,an ambitious path, like Saiva Siddhanta. In my limited understanding, Aurobindo's work is only for those who have experienced a few things. It's for people to make sense of their experiences. Without the experience first, Aurobindo's voluminous Letters on Yoga & his poems can't be understood.

A time when any ambitious person in Kolkata would hang a big picture of himself/herself with this lady to draw more business, whatever the field.

Catholics and communists are the enemies of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry.

We can say with confidence that, somedaythere will be no more human beings. That means that we are fooling ourselves if, as Simone Weil claims atheists must do, we seek an absolute good in a human future, revolutionary or otherwise. The human species and its creations, ultimately, are just like individual humans: ultimately, this too shall pass.

I don’t want to knock attempts to make progress in the world. My life, and so many others, are immeasurably better than were those hundreds of years ago, in the short time we have on this planet. As Peter Berger rightly noted,... This is what Martin Hägglund’s work misses:...I think it is at the heart of George Grant’s Daoism. William Christian’s introduction to Grant’s Time as History says:... For Epicurus as for the Daoists, only the present is our happiness. We need to give up the hope of “I’ll be happy when…”...
