Ramachandra Guha's courage to be silent on Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo’s study of the Veda examines the philosophic system of the Vedic mystics, the meaning of Vedic terms, and the sense of Vedic symbols and the psychological functions assigned to the Gods. Get 'The Secret of the Veda' here :

Sri Aurobindo's interpretation of Hinduism is acceptable to people from all religions. He removes the veil of the secrets, which tell humanity that d  variety in  worship is a must.This yoga never asks u to change yr religion. This is not the Yoga conducted by "beosayi saints."

It's difficult to distort the true nature of Hinduism with Sri Aurobindo around. Even Aurobindo Ghose was a humanist, though the leftists don't understand the Nature of his Nationalism, which is exactly Tagore's Nationalism barring his critique of Nationalism between 1916 n 1917.
People like Ashis Nandy n Dipesh Chakrabarty couldn't penetrate into the essence of Aurobindo Ghose's Nationalism. Also they failed to understand the politics of Sri Aurobindo as a transformed stuff of Aurobindo Ghose's credo.

If Ramachandra Guha stays back in India, who else do we need? He is the greatest historian of all ages   also he has that great courage to be silent on Sri Aurobindo's contribution to Indian freedom! Bravo!

Lack of references from Sri Aurobindo indicates a  colossal ignorance of Hindu pundits! Or it is difficult to distort Hinduism with Sri Aurobindo's commentaries! Sri Aurobindo is the ultimate of authenticity. Ignore him n be sure the non- Hindus won't trust your thesis!

Or it maybe that supreme egoistic  confidence: " I am a great scholar! I've read many books! I am greater than Sri Aurobindo! I have bagged so many awards! Sri Aurobindo has no awards!" Don't misunderstand me. This is the psychology of not referring to him.

It was during his exile in Pondicherry that Bharatiyar came into contact with Aurobindo, and leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai and VVS Aiyar. He assisted Aurobindo in publication of the journals Arya and Karma Yogi.

For those who might not know, it was Bharathiyar who taught Thamizh to Sri Aurobindo. Apart from translating some Azhwar poetry to English, this knowledge of Thamizh also led to Sri Aurobindo formulating his essay Origins of Aryan Speech https://t.co/DmY21ixyDP 🙏

Sri Aurobindo advised him to read Walt Whitman on his query how to write great poetry.

I haven't kept track of so much of noise around NRC and CAB but my sense is that something fundamentally changed yesterday and States and Regions getting Sovereignty will be an eventuality. But I don't think it's the peaceful path towards #WorldUnion as dreamt by Sri Aurobindo.

In times like this, it becomes apparent why a broad consensus around Sri Aurobindo's political philosophy is needed to navigate the nation out of obscurantist outlook. No amount of muscle flexing or chest thumping can justify or validate what's basically defective or anomalous. https://t.co/DwT3KKGfAT

Repeating for the nth time:
It's not about this bill or that bill. States have to awarded Sovereignty under a lose Federation. Colonial legacy has to be buried. Sri Aurobindo dreamt of a #WorldUnion and all must support Evolution's direction.

Sri Aurobindo's dream of #WorldUnion provides the broad principle and how it works out is certainly not linear or clear. Nor historical examples are the only guide. What's important is Evolutionary direction and for that no one is more reliable than #SriAurobindo. #FiveDreams

East had indeed more revolutionaries but West had a considerable numbers too. Also, most of the top ranking revolutionary leaders & ideologues came from West, Subhas Babu, Rashbehari, Aurobindo, his brother, many others. Don’t forget the fountainheads of their inspirations+
