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

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. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/25

You must read the last two chapters of The Life Divine. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-gnostic-being… 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 https://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.

Castes can't be wished away like that; it's alive and kicking in countless villages. #SriAurobindo formulated the broad principles but to apply them in the present conditions may not be a sound strategy. 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.

Sri Aurobindo toiled for the larger issues of nationhood and human destiny

Sri Aurobindo had already given the definitive turn & animating impetus to Indias fledgling movement & fixed for it the goal of full freedom. Despite that subsequent leaders continued to vacillate but the idea was entrenched forever & impelled leader after leader including SCBose

During his self-imposed retreat Sri Aurobindo concentrated on the most severe form of inner tapasya & a herculean spiritual labor the likes of which has not been done & the effects of which we havent even begun to comprehend + using his Yog-shakti to guide events in India & world

In a nutshell it would have been much easier for Sri Aurobindo to have remained limited only to the political field. In any case he had already seen inwardly & proclaimed long back that dramatic world-events & massive upheavels wud inevitably result in India's independence.

Through occult sight, foreknowledge, yogic trikaladrishti, what Gita refers to in the line "vedaham samatitani vartamanani charjuna bhavisyani cha bhutani"

Neither I nor Sri Aurobindo (to my knowledge) has claimed to "solve" India's problems pertaining to British rule with occult practices. In any case his vision was proved true with the British Empire becoming impossible to sustain after WW2.

As for rann-chor it was a queer sort that stayed in full public view of the British right in their imperial backyard. If that was his intent he cud have run to much more comfortable life in any number of places. He in fact resisted British & French pressure & inducements to do 

Importance is a very broad term. You have to understand the true scope of the work that Sri Aurobindo did to get an idea of his importance. Merely getting British out was not so much the problem as subsequent events have proved but the larger issues of nationhood & human destiny.

It is these intractable and perennial issues that Sri Aurobindo took into his hand in the time that remained to him in his earthly body after he came to Pondicherry.

The ousting of the British was merely one step towards a much larger goal. What would be the use of British being ousted if the result was a failed kleptocracy & porous, de-moralized & ignorant little weakling of a despoitc, parasite goonda state that calls itself a "republic".

Yes, but the problem is much deeper. Why Nehrus? Why Cong? Why feku BJP? Why even Brits? The prblm is a loss of national consciousness. It was to dig this out at its roots, revive it in himself, recast it for our age & project it into future indefinitely that Sri Aurobindo worked

Hard Times: Martin Hägglund's “This Life” and the Pomodoro ...

Martin Hägglund's This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom, published in 2019, has already become a minor academic sensation – being reviewed in the New Yorker and Guardian as well as being the subject of a day-long conference at Harvard. I recently had a chance to read the book. There is much that I disagree with in it, but I see what all the fuss is about. I think the book is worthy of several posts, and will examine it in detail in the coming weeks.

I will begin with what I appreciate about the book. Above all, I appreciate that Hägglund is a philosopher in the true sense: he is a genuine lover of wisdom, and a seeker of it. Hägglund is asking questions that Socrates and Plato and Aristotle asked, about what a good human life is. I am not sure how much wisdom he has actually found, but just seeking it is rare enough in this age of technical specialization. It is a sad but unsurprising irony that this most deeply philosophical author – like the subjects of Examined Life – teaches in a department of literature and not philosophy. 

Amod Lele

Martin Hägglund develops a neo-Marxist politics that is deeply informed by qualitative individualism – quite appropriately, since qualitative individualist ideas inform Marx himself, especially in the theory of alienation. Hägglund wants to envision what a social world without alienation would look like.

Possibly the core distinction in Hägglund's thought is between a "realm of freedom" and a "realm of necessity" – and he identifies time as central to both of these.

For the most part, the study of non-Western philosophy has tended to focus on the continent of Asia. There are many good reasons for this. More than half of humanity lives in Asia. And Asia has long, rich traditions of philosophical reflection that have survived and left their works to us – unlike the thought of Mesoamerican traditions, where so much was pillaged and destroyed by the barbarian Spanish invaders.
