The Mother did not put a lot of attention on Auroville because she had lost hope on the Ashramites, though it is true that many of them could not rise up to her expectations. For that matter, Mother was also critical of Aurovillians in the early seventies. It only means that most of us are full of defects, that’s all. Debashish is trying to pit Auroville against the Ashram, which is plain divisive politics. The truth is that both are creations of the Mother (with Sri Aurobindo’s force behind it) and both have their respective roles to play.
Raman Reddy said... Anonymous comment: Dear Debashish-ji,
PH would have benefited more had he authored his autobiography My Lives (title suggested) free from any archival support or controversy instead of touching upon Sri Aurobindo’s Lives, and your pain for his ostracism would not have been there. All would have then appreciated his honest self-expression in the autobiography. But he chose to write on Sri Aurobindo in the most unyogic manner and deceive the general public.

Object-Oriented Orientalism by SKHOLIAST THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010
As for "Indian," classical sources list various schools that are strongly divergent in premises, arguments, and conclusions. This divergence continues well into modern times (just compare Aurobindo with, say, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak), and one has to back up quite far before these differences blur into a generic "subcontinental" philosophy. 
Yoga was defined by Aurobindo as a methodic process towards self-perfection through a development of the latent potential at the five levels of Being – physical, vital, mental, intellectual & spiritual. Normal man lives only in the ...

This particular discussion has set me into thinking about my not-so-academic interest in Aurobindo as doubtful, as it indeed has nothing to do with my thesis, but is so very crucial to my understanding of Speculative Realism and ...
excellent comparison. i had never thought of Chinese philosophy coming close to SR. I myself have had issues with coming to terms with Harman’s notion of OOO and the dismissing of anthropocentrism and many Indian thinkers i have had the chance to discuss the nullifying of human-centeredness have directed me close to Buddhist thought, wherein at one level, the being and what is being thought become one. I also found some interesting linkages between SR and Aurobindo’s thought. But the real problem lies in ‘correlationism’ and is it ever possible to exorcise the ghost of it. One thing is for sure that Indian thought is getting more and more human-centric and there I think your analogy of moving away from Indian Philosophy and ever closer to Chinese philosophy as what the SR is doing sounds interesting.
Thanks for an intriguing post, Himanshu, and welcome to the blog! Can you say a bit more about the last point? I’m not sure how the “withdrawal” language is working, or what Harman does to take individual objects as foundations comparable to the Cartesian self.
Also, where do you see links between SR and Aurobindo? Is this something you’ve written about on your blog?
