Sri Aurobindo's theory of the soul of the nation has remarkable Hegelian affiliations

Sri Aurobindo rose to the forefront of the national movement, causing a split in the Congress Party in the Surat session of 1907. He belonged with Bal Gangadhar Tilak & Bipin Chandra Pal, to the “garam dal” or extremist faction. https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-sri-aurobindo-continues-to-be-relevant-on-his-150th-anniversary-1.81887679… @RSSorg @sanjeevsanyal

It's important to remember that when Sri Aurobindo started publishing his flagship philosophical venture The Life Divine in 1914, abundant intellectual fermentation had taken place in the West including Vivekananda's speech at the World's Parliament of Religions, Chicago in 1893.

Tracing the intellectual genealogy of Sri Aurobindo may not be a very credible exercise given his yogic expertise but a host of thinkers in the West were around at the same time theorising almost on the same lines, when he was publishing the successive chapters of The Life Divine.

This month in 2008, the Heehs imbroglio broke out leading to immense mental suffering and tension by a lot of people. The ban on the book is still a blot on the good name of Sri Aurobindo. There must be some serious effort to undo the impetuous action by a handful of enthusiasts.

Celebrate the World Union Day by reading the Five Dreams of Sri Aurobindo

World Union Day as declared by The Mother is celebrated on August 20. Sri Aurobindo advocates a #WorldUnion as political solution
savitriera.blogspot.com/2015/12/sri-au
I formed the Sundargarh chapter of World Union in 1981. Thereafter, a special issue of the journal came out on the occasion of its silver jubilee. The concerns are aglow even today and the third dream of Sri Aurobindo is the only solution. August 20 - #WorldUnion Day #FiveDreams
Requesting all to celebrate the World Union Day by reading SA´s #FiveDreams and praying for their fulfillment. Savitri Era Learning Forum: I formed the Sundargarh chapter of World Union in 1981 selforum.blogspot.com/2021/08/i-form Savitri Era of those who adore, Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Please dont jump the guns; thatś not the only problem. I respect your intelligence and views. Sri Aurobindo has examined all sorts of prospects in The Human Cycle. Please wrestle with the arguments he offers. That would be informed discourse & perspective. incarnateword.in/cwsa/25
https://twitter.com/SavitriEra/status/1428392521550364676?s=20

You must read the last two chapters of The Life Divine. incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-gn The whole project of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is transformation of human nature through Integral Yoga. Scepticism is fine, but nothing wrong in knowing what the greatest thinker of India is saying.

Sri Aurobindo´s birth anniversary falls on August 15

Tusar Nath Mohapatra @NathTusar

I had the good fortune of receiving the blessings of Purna Bhaina at Sundargarh and Nimapara during the early 80s. Pranam. #SriAurobindo [ଶ୍ରୀ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ମହାପାତ୍ର ସ୍ମାରକୀ କୃତଜ୍ଞତା ସଭା | ୨. ୮.୨୦୨୧ | ସଂନ୍ଧ୍ୟା youtu.be/Ahi49G19TBM via @YouTube]

I don´t think there can be any clear distinction between socialism or capitalism in India. It has been a seamless journey punctured by technology and communication. V.P. Singh also did help. One thing led to the other and the history is interesting. Bollywood too played its part.

Well put. The then political leadership is to blame for banishing #SriAurobindo from national discourse. Admirers of Gandhi, Tagore, Subhas, and Vivekananda saw to it that Sri Aurobindo isn´t given any prominence. Followers of Lohia, Ambedkar, and Savarkar were equally nonchalant

Elst himself didn´t care to read the works of #SriAurobindo adequately and his knowledge is constrained to that extent. Still there is time to make amends.

Ram Swarup surely was inspired by #SriAurobindo but only to justify his own convictions on resurgence of India. Most intellectuals of India lost the opportunity of recognising #TheMother and Sri Aurobindo. It continues till today because no Baba endorses his name or his books.

#SriAurobindo´s birth anniversary falls on August 15. Focus on this great philosopher and poet can generate awareness about his lifelong work on evolution of a higher consciousness for ushering in harmony. Thanks. @SavitriEra

I don´t disagree with you but as long as the democratic machinery is espousing it, reservation deserves respect. If some party in future is ready to abolish it, then it´s good. Till then, it´s not fair to find fault with this provision.

So symmetry and uniformity are still distant dreams.

Please avoid disparaging remarks about other professions. We are in an interconnected world; just playing our part. Geography is uneven; society is so complex. So expecting symmetry and uniformity may not be appropriate. Further, a good and well paying profession is not enough.

Crores of people live in the villages but this urban trend of applauding celebrities is a curious phenomenon. Caring for the underprivileged hasn't lost its relevance. A fraction of money and energy spent in luxury and fun can do wonders for the deprived sections of the society.

India has seen enormous prosperity in the course of the current century but rural poverty hasn't waned due to growth in population. And these are staggering numbers. No solution in sight for this economic disparity but appropriate policy tweaks can certainly alter the situation.

Many of our old Odia songs are incomparable in melody and rendition. Many individuals have painstakingly put them on #YouTube for the benefit of the public. Many thanks for their efforts. But, a quality video apposite to the song with #Odia related visuals is rather rare to find.
