There are two schools.One which believes world is Maya and one has to escape from it by Moksha.Second school is world is evolving and soul is voluntarily here by Lila of the Divine.Moksha is not the goal but endless evolution.Sri Aurobindo was of the second School.
I follow Sri Aurobindo.Moksha or Liberation would not end the soul's evolution.Earlier it evolved in ignorance ..then it would evolve in Full knowledge..
You can read his works.available online.Sri.A 's first spiritual experience was Nirvana.He was granted Liberation then and there in 3 days.But his real sadhana started only after Liberation.
I rely only on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Up to each to follow in whom they have faith.

Sri Aurobindo is in a different league with the likes of Vyasa and Vedic maharishis. Wouldn't put anyone except perhaps for Vivekananda in the same sentence with him.

A counter. Brahmins, esp TBs are tied to tradition and hence aren't the cultural elites they used to b as world has evolved. Ex: Sri Vaishnavas still stuck with say Vedanta Desika & are clueless (barring few notable exceptions) about Sri Aurobindo's Integral Vedanta and poetry.

Vaidika culture is not "elite". It is *now* just yet another rigid tradition followed mostly in a dogmatic way. An anachronism in the way it's practised.
The real vedantic elites are those following Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo, studying Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhava, Ramakrishna and Sri Aurobindo in a syncretic way, and they are caste agnostic. Traditional adherents are living in outdated echo chambers and have been far surpassed.

Sri Aurobindo's approach was better. Savarkar was a brilliant thinker and sacrificed a lot for India, but that doesn't mean every single thing he said was perfect- would be an unfair bar to judge anyone by.

I do not think so. Savarkar is really a European man through and through, albeit whose heart beat for the Hindus. He really held the view that there can be no real religious confrontation in a "modern" world.
Aurobindo too was... but he knew that a real Hindu will overcome that Eurocentricism. Such was the prestige of Europe... that even the brilliant Savarkar could not escape...

This comprehensive paper by @AnkurKakkar17 explores the dimensions of families and #Jatis in preservation and transmission of traditional #IndianKnowledgeSystems.
It explores how various domains such as #VedicEducation, #Ayurveda, #drama (#Kutiyattam), #architecture, and #pottery were primarily taught within family homes, highlighting the hereditary and decentralized nature of #education in medieval and early modern #India
This family-centered approach ensured the continuity of India's rich knowledge traditions for generations.

A question for people who know Robert Rosen's work: what's the current status of his claim that MR systems aren't Turing-computable? I've read most of the (few) relevant papers on this but am not competent to judge and there seems to be no clear consensus.

Doomism is a toxic mindset. It is quite simply wrong on every level. Those involved are well-meaning but deluded. My current book is in part a refutation of doomism, but also I describe #transhumanism and #cosmism
