Chronicles of India By Nadine
These days it seems the French have taken over again. There are many French tourists here. The street names are all French. Rue this or that. There are also many Europeans who live here. We see them riding their scooters or their children coming out of schools. I think most of them live at the Aurobindo commune, Auroville, which has 1500 residents. He was a philosopher who was born in 1872 and died in 1950. He called his philosophy Integral Yoga.
We are staying at the Aurobindo Intenational Guest House, which is quite comfortable but simple. It has four floors, all open to a central courtyard filled with beautiful plants. We have a private bathroom with hot water and air conditioning. The evenings have been very cool thanks to the sea breezes, so we have not used the air conditioning. The restaurants here cater to the Europeans so are a blessed relief from the hot masala of Indian cooking. My lower GI tract is ever so thankful. It is very hot during the day unless you stay by the sea, but the mornings and evenings are glorious. Posted by Nadine at 8:15 AM

Militant nationalism also emerged in the first decades, culminating in the failed ...

Supermind is the Lynch-Pin of the Manifestation from Sri Aurobindo Studies by sriaurobindostudies
Sri Aurobindo recaps the seven tiers or gradations of Existence in the next chapter, the Sevenfold Chord of Being. The foundation, the beginning and the cause of existence is the triple principle of Sat-Chit-Ananda, Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. This is “the nature of the divine being.” In order to move from self-aware, all-knowledge to a stage of manifestation, the principle of Supermind acts as the lynch-pin that transforms the Knowledge and inherent Power of the divine Being into an executive force that creates the forms of multiplicity.

Assuming you are referring to Nehruvian secularism, certainly there are opportunists who play vote bank politics but there may also be those who reach out to minorities because they want to be inclusive, help the poor and the downtrodden. That instinct of compassion is laudable even though it sometimes leads to laxity in standards and govt excesses.

Geometry and Rotation - Did You Know They Are Related? from Circumsolatious by Lori Tompkins
Saturn's North Pole on Left/South Pole on Right Apparently, rotation causes geometry to form. I'm kind of shocked to be 41 years old and to never have heard this before. It seems like something I should have learned in kindergarten, or at least something I should have learned in my studies of cosmology and sacred geometry over the past couple of decades. I have read about the interlacing tetrahedral geometry of the Earth and planetary bodies, which in two dimensions are reminiscent of the ascending and descending triangles of Sri Aurobindo's symbol as seen to the right. ...
My Big TOE • View topic - Sri Aurobindo RamonThompson
I just stumbled upon this from the Wikipedia entry on Sri Aurobindo. ... Aurobindo's cosmology is very, very similar to Tom's in MBT. Keep the following, from a recent post by Tom, in mind as you read the description from Aurobindo… I will bore you with one more quote but I think it is relevant because it describes what I see happening, to a small extent, in my own experience and sounds like what many here have undergone… I'm reading the Life Divine by Aurobindo. So far, I am enjoying it a lot. I'll try to give a more informed review after I complete it. From time to time, I will post any quotes or thoughts I find pertinent or parallel to MBT. This one really jumped out at me on page 24.

Rick49 I recently read a biography of Sri Aurobindo titled "The Lives of Sri Aurobindo
" by Peter Heehs. It demystifies the man… "The Mother" is a fascinating spiritual, mystic collaboration of two people born into two very different cultures. He was a political activist advocating independence from Great Britain England
He was a fascinating man and The Mother is a story unto herself. I agree Ted, there is a clear path from mysticism to science and Tom's model came easily to me because of the powerful conection. I come from the mystical, psycho-spiritual-philosophic-historical (Hermetic) traditions and am carefully trying to navigate the very scientific terminology that many of you provide for me. It is an absolutely glorious exercise for me to engage with. Tom's model is aesthically beautiful in a mathematical fashion and lights up the awe and sense of Mystery that I experience when I read the Upanishads and other mystical texts.

Secular Subhumanists and the Ravages of Reductionism from One Cosmos by Gagdad Bob
As Schuon
-- in my view a quintessential humanist in the proper sense of the word -- expressed it, "There is a great deal of talk these days about 'humanism,' talk which forgets that once man abandons his prerogatives to matter, to machines, to quantitative knowledge, he ceases to be truly 'human.'"
Schuon always treats the human as human. But in our day, the word humanism "constitutes a curious abuse of language in view of the fact that it expresses a notion that is contrary to the integrally human, hence to the human properly so called: indeed, nothing is more fundamentally inhuman than the 'purely human,' the illusion of constructing a perfect man starting from the individual and terrestrial; whereas the human in the ideal sense draws its reason for existence and its entire content from that which transcends the individual and the earthly."

Gregorian chants were echoing at Pitanga on Sunday the 14th of February. Anandamayi, Andrea, Ane, Elsa, Irene, Carl and Denis with their beautiful voices prepared an unique evening of cappella singing. Director Eugeen Liven d'Abelardo told us few things about the history of Gregorian chants, which is a functional music for liturgical use. For centuries it was passed by oral tradition, and after they start to use scriptorium to record it, but no notation, as we know today. Gregorian chant was until 1968 the official chant of the Roman church. The selection of monastic chants for that evening was mostly from 8th and 9th centuries.
