Godāvari was the boundary of Kalinga

Anga, Vanga and Kalinga are mentioned typically together as the eastern Janapadas. Kalinga was the southernmost tribe.

https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1286596409563766786?s=19

Godāvari is actually called in common parlance as “Godāri Gangā” and sometimes even simply as “Gangā”. This is unparalleled with any other river in southern India.

I think we should discuss the period of the Janapadas distinctly from that of the great kingdoms. Kalinga was used as a name for both.

It is absurd to say people were speaking Odia during Kalinga war. Do you have a single literary evidence for Odia language then? It evolved from an old Prākrit. Moreover, the type of Prākrit changed later to a Magadhi version, which is the ancestor of both Bengali and Odia.

I feel really sorry for your ridiculous jingoism. The entire weight of literary evidence is clear that the Godavari delta was a central portion of the Kalinga Janapada. I am just pointing out the obvious, while being extremely respectful to my Odia cousins.

The onus of the explanation lies with the people who want to restrict the Kalinga janapada to just till Śrikakulam area. Why would a rich cultured civilization go till Śrikakulam and just ignore the fertile Godāvari delta!? It doesn’t make any sense!

You are artificially trying to eliminate Godāvari delta from the Kalinga region. You can’t just wish it away. It is the largest river in South India, with a very large agricultural economy since ancient times. In parallel, it had very ancient Shiva temples. Who were these people?

https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1286574832801525760?s=19

What nonsense! How can you compare Godāvari with Vamsadhāra!? Compared to the Godavari, of course, they are just streams.

You are actually insulting the marital and the maritime character of the Kalinga by saying they just stopped at the Vamsadhara river. It doesn’t make any sense!

Godāvari was the boundary of Kalinga. Dakshina Kalinga was the Godāvari delta. Every single evidence points to this !

I also gave arguments why an important port city needs to be at the mouth of large navigable rivers: whether Paradwīpa on the Mahānadi, or Coringa on the Godāvari. 

Now look at the remarkable similarity of the name. Where does it come from? This is just commonsense.

Let us see the facts: Coringa was an extremely important port in the 18th century. It was devastated by two monstrous cyclones: one in 1789 and another in 1839. The latter killed 300,000 people and destroyed 20,000 ships. Coringa is undoubtedly in the Dakshina Kalinga region.

On Cousins Day (July 24) today, we may remember James H. Cousins (22 July 1873 — 20 February 1956), an Irish writer and his book "New Ways in English Literature" which Sri Aurobindo had reviewed quite approvingly. He was Vice-President at Kalakshetra, too. https://t.co/K30K6zmmFV

Very few people know that most of mythological fiction are popular representation of the Veda. The four or five brothers of Ramayana and Mahabharata are basically Mitra-Varuna et al. So it's imperative that the new temple should be dedicated to Mitra-Varuna instead of Ram or Rama

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1286701938407378945?s=19

Important but self-certification can be dicey. So the real question is which knowledge, which school? Thankfully Sri Aurobindo wrote for seven long years in the ARYA a century back. There can't be a better examination of tradition than what he has executed. Mitra-Varuna will rule.

Human nature can't be compared with anything else; they are just indicators. Sri Aurobindo stresses on Fraternity - the third formula - on the Vedic Mitra-Varuna principle. We are moving towards that.

The last sentence is flawed. Of the four Varnas, the last one is especially geared to work with the service motive. Mahasaraswati in The Mother book represents that faculty. https://t.co/gEPjHIaqEu

Godāvari is called affectionately in Telugu as Gōdāri గోదారి. It sounds very nice because “dāri” దారి in Telugu means a path. “Dari” దరి means a bank, or nearby to the goal.

Many other things cud be said & have been addressed by Sri Aurobindo himself in his writings on the subject. That RadhaK says all these things shows he has not even a clue what he is talking about.

All said & done theres no real examination here of Sri Aurobindo's work on the veda. To say it diverges from both Sayana etc & Western indologists is to merely repeat what Sri Aurobindo himself starts out with So the analysis is not even there. It is an uninformed opinon at best.

Sir, as u can c his treatment of a complex & deep work as that of Sri Aurobindo's revelation of the inner truth of the veda amounts to little more than few sentences. His reasons for rejecting r also not his own but "coz others hold differently" & pure supposition abt "human dev"

@hguptapolicy Evolution comes in precisely in such situations to force non-linear solutions & apply corrective. Vedic dialectic not helpless

Just as biology speaks of a single species for human race, ontology of Sri Aurobindo traces the common Human Aspiration to the Vedic hymns.

Sri Aurobindo doesn't rule out conflict

Hounding it out is heroic duty.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo embarked upon an adventure of Consciousness in Judeo-Vedic Psychology with publication of ARYA on August 15, 1914

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo launched ARYA in 1914 in order to reiterate Vedic ethical values like nobility, generosity, tenacity and courage.

From Ilion to Savitri, the reigning theme Sri Aurobindo pursues in poetic creations is the Vedic imperative of thwarting the evil impetus.

Sri Aurobindo embodied Evolutionary vigour while Hitler represented wanton destruction reenacting the Vedic Indra vs. Vritra fight in 20thC.

Evolutionary paradigms of Bergson, Alexander, Whitehead, or Teilhard had a strong speculative element but Sri Aurobindo held Vedic sanction.

No phrase in Sanskrit or Pali is valid without Vedic sanction and no proposition of the Veda is valid without Sri Aurobindo's interpretation

Popularising Vedic symbolism and Yogic spirituality as conceived by Sri Aurobindo is a thousand times more valuable than building any temple

If awareness about Sri Aurobindo's Vedic Evolutionary vision can rise even by a shoestring, India could pull itself up by its bootstraps.

Sri Aurobindo redefines ill-understood Maya and fuses it with Myers' Subliminal & Vedic Hiranyagarbha to conceive an ever-emergent Supermind

Neither Goel nor Golwalkar have been able to capture the goal of human life in any definitive manner. The Judeo-Vedic Evolutionary dialectic expounded by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is the most dependable roadmap for humanity which every Indian must internalise as well as endorse.
