Voices Against Nithyananda Scandal: Truth will triumph 17 Mar 2010 by Supporters of Nithyananda
Sri. Ramana was questioned by Lawyer during his days, on how he was able to gain income for building a big Ashram. Sri. Aurobindo's Ashram underwent difficult times, when some Press people [Even in 1930s or 1940s], had questioned the stay of Mother and one more foreign lady in the Ashram premises.

How church destroyed Swami Nithyananda! | Pratap Simha By Rajiv Malhotra, March 17, 2010 by Pratap Simha
I went through a serious study of the writings by Sri Aurobindo, various Madhyamika Buddhist systems, Kashmir Shaivism, Ramana Maharshi, etc. So I was not seeking a new guru like most others who took his courses.

Syncretism in Sri Aurobindo's thought – part 2 « Integral Yoga of ... Posted on March 18, 2010 by Sandeep
The ordinary human mind has a propensity for exaggerating one side of the Truth and ignoring the other. One of the pleasures of reading Sri Aurobindo’s works is that such contradictions do not exist because he traces every contradiction to its Divine origin and reconciles it as part of a larger Truth. He explicates how every principle has it’s play in a certain context but if we over-generalize, then it loses its value. In the previous post, Syncretism in Sri Aurobindo’s thought – part 1, we covered five puzzles which were reconciled by Sri Aurobindo into a larger Truth. This article presents a few more additions: Self-esteem versus Humility, Good versus Evil, Various formulations of the Divine, Nature versus Nurture, Evolution versus Creationism.
Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on Astrology from Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother by Sandeep
We turn to astrology because it gives us hope amidst an uncertain world. It also affirms our identity and increases our self-esteem ("This is my sun-sign and that is why I am good at that"). Unfortunately, it also reinforces our defeatist tendencies ("I am always going to have this problem according to my sun-sign"). This raises the question "Do stars rule our destiny?" According to Sri Aurobindo & The Mother, the stars are merely indicators of our future; they do not control our destiny. Furthermore, those who take up the practice of Yoga (and by that, I mean more than just breathing and postures) begin to actively shape their own destiny. The practice of Yoga can alter our nature and change our Karma. In such cases, the horoscope no longer remains a guide to the future. The following are observations of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother on the general topic of astrology.

The 9, the 0, the Unified Multiplicity and the Divine Mother from Circumsolatious by Lori Tompkins
‘Thea mentions in her biography that in the early 1970s, she realized the integral nature of numbers. During her initiation with the Mother, she was told the nine `is creation in matter`.

Those who grew up watching Star Wars are often the kind of people who dream up this nano-genetic bodies for a new race :-) In this passage from the Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo states that the new consciousness itself will effect the mutation of the body unlike previous stages where the body was first prepared for the new consciousness.

Mirror of Tomorrow Re: Jyotirmoyee—by Anurag Banerjee (B) Fri 19 Mar 2010 Permanent Link
Despite being an Ashramite where all love is expected to be channelled to the Divine, she (probably unconsciously) nurtured a longing for human love which is evident in some of her poems. She did get it eventually but had to pay a severe price for it. We shall come to it soon.
