"All fanaticism is false because it is a contradiction of the very nature of God and of Truth." -Sri Aurobindo, 23.10.39.
Clearly, this includes Hindu fanaticism too.
Let's not make a virtue of it.

Practise your own faith & traditions so that they become strong & sensible--as Swami Vivekananda did--rather than being a fanatic yourself. You claim others are destroying Hinduism. To defend yourself, you become unHindu & fanatic?Then you'll become just like those you oppose.

Hope by "all forms of God" includes Islamic, Christian & other forms of worship? Then you wouldn't be a fanatic, Sir. Let us remain Sanatanis, no? Rather than becoming the mirror image of the worst of those we're trying to oppose.

Sir, I hope you're aware that your tweet itself is an eloquent example of what you claim doesn't exist: to say that a Hindu can NEVER be a fanatic is a statement typical of a fanatic. Your bullying aggression is divisive of the very Hindu unity that you seem to seek.

"We don't even know who Gandhi is!! Instead of making Gandhi an external ghost, look at the ghost of Gandhi within yourself. We need stop blaming Gandhi for our problems." profound words from @MakrandParanspe today at a session on Sri Aurobindo & the idea of India @Gnostic_Centre

Sri Aurobindo is hugely misappropriated by a fringe political wing begging votes in his name. His nationalism was universal and pluralistic which binds whole humanity in one cord. ABVP doesn't even aspire to reach this goal

The solution is in doing one's work selflessly and letting the Divine do His work. If people choose to play the games of padre and pundit, it is only themselves to be blamed.

that and making an effort to be anti-racist in the poetry i choose has led to me discovering lots of cool new (to me) poets like Phyllis Wheatley and Sri Aurobindo, so I don't feel particularly bad about "o no i can't put the proto-fascists in here"

So this is really a "delusion," what Hindu's call Maya Lila, which the venerable tradition of @capracourse @BernardoKastrup @DrDCWahl @AlanWattsOrg, Haridas Chaudhuri, Sri Aurobindo, etc. is so eloquent in illuminating.

Between 1949-1950 most of the editorials that he wrote were seen, corrected, passed by Sri Aurobindo himslef who considered "Mother India" to be his own paper.

Thanks for the suggestion, but for this podcast, it needs to be new books (last five years). So if someone has written a new book on Aurobindo, I'd be happy to look at it and see.

It is not entirely appropriate to place Sri Aurobindo in the category of "English" literary figures. Just coz he wrote using English doesnt mean his works belong in the English literary tradition or canon. His major works flow from a yogic consciousness & that is their TRUE value

Am happy the philosophy departments ignore Sri Aurobindo, if by malice or ignorance doesn’t bother me...because all that Sri Aurobindo wrote was from experience and not a mere philosophy..would be a categorical error if we applied the term philosopher to Sri Aurobindo
The Vedic Rishi wouldn’t call himself a philosopher, a dealer of mental ideals and possibilities..I don’t mean to discount utility of philosophers and philosophies...after all they accustom the common mind to higher things..but the Dharmic types are all about experience if we see
Hardly any..the last 200 or even 300 years have thrown up tremendous beings..Paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Tagore, Bharathi and more..but, in my view, none approached the ideal of the Veda..all played with its peripheries including Shankara...only Master got there and more...
Sir, because it would deprive us and humanity the purpose and utility of his works. If approached as philosophy, one views it as a possibility and nothing more, one remains poor and miserable. Approach it as one of many attainable statuses and all is an adventure..
How we are ready to receive His aid and influence is the determinant Sir..he doesn’t seem to have limitations and labels..a patient flood of transforming influence pours in His vicinity..and am not content to partake it with a spoon...
Yes, I adore Master but the adoration is not blind...one can lay out microscopic details of how this seems to work...as shown thus far!!
Sir..aware to extent shown thus far..and also sense of being the arrow that slays an issue...each of us do it, whether consciously or aligned to and at what proportion is issue...yet all good Sir 🙏

Hence, the Kavi of the Veda and his utterances will always elude the linguist, philologist and every other mental tool of inquiry and examination, though they have their limited utility; the Seer-Poet soared borne by a flame of aspiration, so should they who wish to study them.

But honestly speaking, today there is no place or very limited scope for classical communism. Today Haves aren't factory owner & havenots aren't factory worker, thus. However, today Communism has undergone change, thus we have Neo Marxism. Many ideas hold good, today in many form

If we look closely at India, we will find, we have adapted, what Andre Gunder Frank, German-American economic historian & Samir Amin, Egyptian-French Marxist economist proposed & were chief exponents of Dependency Theory. Thus everyone adapting the old, in some new form+++.
The Modern Age (and Mind) is in a state of decay and degeneracy. The "rational pursuit of self interest", once conceived as the foundation of liberty, has now decayed into narcissism and "the culture of narcissism" -- Mr. Trump being its apotheosis.
https://twitter.com/fourfoldvision/status/1229464228257361920?s=19
1st error here: the "rational" and efficient were assumed to be equivalent to the moral and the ethical. The crisis of ethics shows this is not true, and "post-rational" (or "irrational exuberance") already shows up that dubious equivalency. /1
2nd error: this "self" or "selfhood" never really understood itself at all, and is now in a state of confusion and perplexity about itself, confusing itself with what is only image and self-image (largely constructed by propaganda, too). /2
So, the whole principle of "the rational pursuit of self-interest" (otherwise called "classical British liberal values") is in a state of crisis, and is no longer considered a sure and certain guide to the "good life".
Interesting study on the persistence of misinformation, people are influenced by incorrect information even after it has been corrected and they believe the correction:
