With designers and manufacturers focusing more on creating aspirational value rather than enhancing the utility of a product, what does it mean for us as consumers? https://t.co/QW5r48HfVF

#CyberBullying is terrible.
Can understand having been a victim myself.  
There's very little doubt-
That the bullies want us out.
Time to show them our clout!

🌅Sri Aurobindo ---There are SEVEN principles of existence and the seven Puranic worlds correspond to them with sufficient precision ---ओम् भू,भुव: ,स्व: ,मह: ,जन:, तप: ,सत्यम्।-तैत्तिरीयारण्यक।  ब्रह्मा ने चारों वेदों का विलोडन किया तो सप्तव्याहृतिरूप मक्खन निकला। ये साक्षात् -- https://t.co/1QIrnLNeBz

Dayananda’s most important contribution to Hindu society is his reformist agenda solidly backed by vedic literature http://t.co/XH74H4psdJ

It’s not true that Buddhism “arose out of the Vedic matrix”. @Jayarava  https://t.co/nfHirNHgQS

Philosophy requires cauurage, sir. It demand understanding and rational refutation if you disagree. Ostriches don't learn philosophy.

You hv left out historical development of human thought. Aurobindo's hypothesis goes against that.
Fine if u think so. But 1.Aurobindo proposes this only as a hypothesis. https://t.co/ZkNHq06pZc finds it contradictory to traditional Indian https://t.co/MxJoRbOUVw finds it contrary to historical development of human thought. Assuming perfection in the beginning and (1/4)

It is untenable on the face of it. If that were so then modern philosophers wud not be making claims like all philosophy is merely a footnote to Plato... All of English literature has still to even remotely approximate a Shakespeare. (1/2)
https://twitter.com/iamviryavaan/status/1181688210092634112?s=19
Also in case of Vedas themselves the level of brilliance that is contained Upanishad after Upanishad has yet to be seen subsequently... So to say that human thot ONLY advanced & not regressed, ONLY gained & not lost is a very weird & fantastic claim.
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"

@SavitriEraParty Not to forget Dr.R.L. Kashyap who applied Swamy's philosophies onto full Vedic corpus. What a great service it is...

The seven distributaries are named after the seven Rishis. The main ones are Gautami and Vasishta. The place where the Vasishta river meets the sea is known as Antarvēdi - “the end of the Vedas” i.e, enlightenment. I remembered Herman Hesse’s Siddhārtha when I took this picture. https://t.co/3y9EMZsGV6

This is the sort of nonsense that linguists deal in. Not scientists. Personal impressions & biases on the lines of "One dead body is not enough to prove death". Obfuscation is the disease that linguists started and genetics researchers quote linguists in an example of GIGO

The Vedas are not a history document. Their purpose is entirely spiritual. Any geographical/social information is entirely incidental. Words like fire, cow, river & horse take on spiritual meanings in some parts. But for that one cannot avoid Yaska, Sayana, Aurobindo. Kashyap etc

Re-use the Vedic-ideas that gave birth to Caturvarna to effectuate another synthesis. Dr. Soumitra Basu. Sri Aurobindo http://t.co/Jdl8htGT

Sayana’s work was a great stumbling block for a true understanding of Vedas. Vedic scholar Kapali Shastriar sums up http://t.co/AJnfxFdr11
The Vedic cow is not the four-legged animal which we  keep ill-treating all the time. http://t.co/1hnLu07i8C

The whole story of 20th Century was the Vedic fight with Hitler on one side & The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on the other http://t.co/D3tHoVC6t0

[the Vedic symbol of the Horse by which the pranic force is constantly designated in the Rig Veda.] ~Sri Aurobindo https://t.co/3vbTar3Bfc

Forget Chandan Mitra. This is how Sri Aurobindo describes the glory of Mitra as he is invoked in Vedic hymns of yore https://t.co/DMfejmoFga

The task of every Indian is to wake up to the Vedic striving for conquering death. Reading a page from Sri Aurobindo's Savitri is right way.
May the nation wake to the anthem of truth, light, & immortality as sung by Sri Aurobindo in his epic Savitri invoking Vedic lore. #August15
@orsoraggiante Savitri by Sri Aurobindo sings the ultimate destiny of man informed by the Vedic aspirations for Truth, Light, & Immortality.
@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.
Economy, Politics, and Foreign Policy
All grist for the Twitter mill
Sri Aurobindo foregrounds the unfathomable
Buried in the Vedic deities.
War, a Vedic device to score over the night
And welcome Evolution, an unavoidable interregnum
A delight for the hero but for choosing sides.
Instead of any Camus or Greene
Take lessons from our own Vedic gene
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.

Pre-mythological allegory of "Uma Haimavati" in Kena Upanishad contains the clue to symbolism of Vedic deities Sri Aurobindo brings to life.
Nishtha has translated hymns to Goddess Sarasvati in the Rig-Veda. http://t.co/jItLTlvFKf Vedic Sacrifice in Savitri. http://t.co/CxRod6xGw1
In the Matrimandir in Auroville also meditation is done around Sri Aurobindo's Symbol which has Judeo-Vedic roots. http://t.co/axdbEUYHO8
Temple sculptures & Indian Classical dances promote mythological fiction & unjust gender stereotypes. Sri Aurobindo teaches Vedic symbolism.
Tablets are replacing Desktops & Laptops but the Vedic Varuna and Mitra still rule over their domains. Sri Aurobindo brings them close to us
Death is the central focus of the Judeo-Vedic sadhana of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Difficult to fathom it but reading Savitri is our duty.
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.
@knowingk2 Human civilisation is a cumulative position of fanciful ideas. Vedic amrita to Egyptian mummy point to yearning for immortality.
@knowingk2 Please read the Tales of Prison Life to disabuse yourself of fanciful notions. @jam2579 @sarkar_swati https://t.co/KGiQBwfwc9
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.

The way Sri Aurobindo decoded the Vedic terminology, The Mother too brought out the significance of flowers by assigning them Vedic values.
