Many new religions have developed around Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, Subhas, Periyar, Ambedkar, Savarkar, et al. Facts are essential.
1920: The Mother has returned back with new experiences and renewed resolve to make the world see light. Nothing is secure not even her equations with Sri Aurobindo or his associates. ARYA has done its job; something else is needed. An experiment of living in a spiritual commune.
After completing six successful volumes the first issue of the seventh volume of ARYA was published in August 1920. No one knew that it will stop midway and the last issue was January 1921. Sri Aurobindo overturned the wisdom of past six thousand years in these six and half years https://t.co/baEjklM6oK
By writing on diverse themes in ARYA month after month for six and a half years, Sri Aurobindo built a firm foundation for a future civilisation by laying down universal principles and showing solutions for common challenges. Essential reading for negotiating ethical quandaries.
Amusing to read tweets on diverse issues plus puerile responses from very sensible people. Reading Sri Aurobindo is such a foundation that there's no confusion or vacillation. But most are content with stray quotations. How this deficit can be met is a big intellectual challenge.
Year after year, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo repeated one simple thing. That faith, sincerity and surrender are the basic tools. Nothing to do with anti-intellectualism or anti-work mentality but to understand that mind is not always a safe guide. Excessive individualism can fail.
Sri Aurobindo is the only top leader active in the Bande Mataram (Partition of Bengal) movement in 1905 to have seen Independence in 1947 and Constitution in 1950. In between he also navigated through two World Wars. He also saw assassination of Gandhi but historians neglect him.
The best way to look at the galaxy of great men involved in the struggle for independence is that they are all different characters in a gigantic play. That way the scene becomes interesting instead of blaming them for the part they played. This in fact is the spiritual approach.
Gandhi is a European – truly, a Russian Christian in an Indian body. When the Europeans say that he is more Christian than many Christians they are perfectly right -- Sri Aurobindo

Left and right aspects of the brain discovered in 1960s.
Amazing that Sri Aurobindo wrote this in 1910:
"The faculties of the right hand are comprehensive, creative, and synthetic; the faculties of the left hand critical and analytic."

The way this is phrased : 'I have read XYZ and so whatever disagrees with it is untrue / invalid / disqualified' is very disturbing. This argument effectively invalidates the hundreds of retellings of the Ramayana and MBh across the villages of India, based on an *absolute* book.

I would rather let each person believe in his own retelling, and while at it, let him know of the other variations that exist. That way we all know more. And it is fascinating to just know how these characters are in different cultures. How different and how similar.

The gesture of shaking hands is probably a relic of the “mysteries” (rituals) of Mithraism in Rome. Those initiated into the ultra-elitist cult were called “Syndexioi” (those united by the handshake).
A symbol of equality? LOL 😂
