Digressing just a bit, there is the story of Alexander the Great and the Gordian knot. The short of it was that there was an intricate knot tying down an ox cart in Phrygia, and legend said that whoever untied the knot would become king of Asia. Alexander, like everyone before him, tried and failed to untangle the knot. But never one to easily give up, he reasoned that it didn’t matter how the knot was loosened, as long as it came loose. So he took out his sword and sliced the knot open. Perhaps our institutional scaling problem is a metaphorical Gordion knot, and the solution isn’t to try to loosen government strings, but to find another solution. But if not the government, who?

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
One's choice or voice can't be questioned but hosts of handles are more interested in topics like Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and other sectarian concerns instead of focusing on problems faced by citizens. Even issues like Freedom or Democratic norms are viewed in a partisan manner
Adding year of publication and appending another list by putting the titles in a chronological order would be useful. The Intellectual Roots of India’s Freedom Struggle (1893-1918) by Prithwindra Mukherjee will surely enrich the list. Thanks. #SriAurobindo https://t.co/guHkoVRPpJ

Sadhak RamPrasad used the 6 chakra Dehatattva wisdom in his songs.But Lalan has used 9 everywhere.According to the 9 chakra system,there are three more chakras along with the original 6,the highest one is named as lalana(signifying daughter/woman,probably referring to Mahamaya).
As said in the above line, Chaitanya Dev resides in the Chilekotha or the highest abode possible within human body, the 9th chakra Lalana,in the head region. This is a broad outline of the above song. Lalan's songs are butchered by modern bengali scholars,who bring in everything else but never the real deha tattva to explain these verses :) Infact many of Rabindranath Thakur's own songs have been misinterpreted to be referring to the mundane or normal human emotions/experiences.Same can be said for Kazi Nazrul islam as well.
Bengali literature is a beautiful synthesis of hugely divergent streams of human wisdom and philosophy, spanning from hardcore nationalism, to soviet communism, to mysticism, tantra, yoga, vedanta, and into every aspect of human existence.
This is the room and the table at which the master - #RKNarayan wrote - and peopled the literary landscape with the delightful #Malgudi, on par with Marquez's Macondo or Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Mysuru has, indeed, all the charm of one of RK Narayan's creations 2/n https://t.co/yUvug6YWeI
More pics of RK Narayan's home, which is now a memorial. Like the great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan who was "discovered" by TH Hardy at Cambridge, another Englishman, #GrahamGreene read Narayan's manuscript & arranged for its publication, amazed by its beauty. https://t.co/pSDFDoiJH6

June 22, 1897- Today is the anniversary of a very important event in Indian freedom struggle, the assasination of W.C.Rand by the Chapekar brothers, an event that ignited the revolutionary movement in Maharashtra, and inspired Veer Savarkar.
June 22, 1897- The celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's rule, were going on in full swing. Not a particularly wise thing to do, considering the anger against the British Raj then.
India is like the haven of all near dead ideologies. Communism may become extinct in its birth land and everywhere else in the world, it will be kept alive in India. ISIS may vanish in Middle East, it will continue to linger in India.
India is like the Bates motel in the Hitchcock classic, Psycho. A dead or near-dead ideology is the mummified mom, and the followers of the ideology are the Norman Bates.
All Norman Bates go around killing people in the name of their moms, oblivious to the fact that the mom is long dead. https://t.co/WOIng6AX5U
My opinion is that time is an illusion, so predictability of nature is an illusion. There is no single objective function being optimized as there are zillion pathways into which universe is splitting at each moment, of which we can also access just one.
It doesn't mean there is no order. Yes indeed, the order is apparent in Ṛta. The closer you get to the Puruṣa, the more stable the Prakṛti becomes. This Puruṣa at the centre of the cosmic wheel is the point from which any pathway of time commences, and ultimately dissolves.
Please see Kākatālīya Nyāya in Sāmkhya and Vēdānta to understand the problem of how the universe appears as a common coherent whole to multiple observers.

A Jeeva perceives only one path of time, but he is present as a potential in all of them.

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
