Govind has left a new comment on your post "She cooked people from the inside"
How is it at all rational to base one's conclusion on just one supposed "fact", and that too one's own interpretation of a single event in a vast and complex existence? If this man chooses to cling to his beliefs in the non-existence of Yogic force then so be it. Once cannot help so-called critical thinkers and self-promoting doctors from being fanatical about their narrow and limited view of the world. But to remotely argue online with folks who are experiencing things like Yogic force first hand is like a color blind bigot denying that anything like color can be experienced by others simply because he himself has no way of experiencing it or understanding it. It is amazing that this "doctor" who does not know the very basics of thinking is recommending critical thinking courses to others. Let him first make an honest attempt to understand before judging. That is the very basic principle of good thinking that this fellow is violating. But that requires a thorough research of all available facts, interpreting them rightly and then judging. However, instead of putting in the time and the effort required the "doctor" chooses to dismiss with cavalier disdain something that many others have experienced and continue to experience. This is really the depth of slothful non-thinking. Posted by Govind to Aurora Mirabilis at 4:52 PMJune 03, 2010

Bharti Broadband (122.174.70.205) Madras, Tamil NaduIndia, D. has left a new comment on your post "Why are you always searching for filth"
People like Mr. Nandhivarman and Dr. Raghu will be drawn to attack Sri Aurobindo and his Ashram as long as people from the Ashram or associated to Sri Aurobindo go out of their way and drum-beat about Sri Aurobindo's greatness and like merchants try to sell his achievements as miracles. Such people who fervently praise Sri Aurobindo, typically do so only to try to demonstrate to others the high degree of their devotion. They are actually more interested in promoting themselves as devotees of Sri Aurobindo in order to try and borrow or steal some his greatness with the hope that it rubs off on them rather than actually trying to follow the path that Sri Aurobindo's has laid out in front of all of us. And if we are keen and interested to follow the path that Sri Aurobindo has laid out in front of us, then Mr. Nandhivarman's or Dr. Raghu's observations will not bother any of us. SubbuPosted by D. to Savitri Era Open Forum at 12:19 PMJune 13, 2010 10:45 AM

Is Auroville ready to take back the reins of Auroville? or is Auroville still going to bicker and fight amongst each other in petty squabbles.
I am sure if we as a community can put down our differences for a more collective goal, then the Govt of India would be more then willing to give back the reins to the Auroville charioteer.

Sri Aurobindo never appeared on television

If you are a Swami and a victim, remain silent! Times of India, Swami Sadyojathah, Jun 10, 2010

There are some pseudo intellectuals and historians who argue that only Ramana Maharishi and Mahatma Gandhi were genuine. They praise only the dead and abuse the living. One historian while condemning the appearance of spiritual masters in media went to the extent of saying that Sri Aurobindo never appeared on television, forgetting that there was no television at that time in the first place! Going by the fact that Sri Aurobindo had used the print media so well, I am sure he would have done the same with television had it existed then. (The author is director, international affairs, The Art Of Living)
The Hindu: Tamil Nadu: Madurai News: Aurobindo Society's Anniversary heldMADURAI: The centenary of arrival of Sri Aurobindo to Puducherry, the golden jubilee of Sri Aurobindo Society founded by The Mother and the seventh anniversary of its Madurai centre were celebrated at a function on Sunday.
Vice-Chairman of Aravind Eye Care System G. Natchiar, who declared open sales and computer centres on the occasion, explained how The Mother discouraged superstition and, in its place, insisted on tireless human effort.
According to a press release, Sri Aurobindo Society chairman Pradeep Narang spoke about the activities of the society and the impact on people of its rural development projects. N. Thiruvenkatam, Chairman of the Tamil Nadu chapter of the Society, wanted the participants to undertake activities beneficial to humanity. V. S. Balakrishnan, secretary, welcomed the gathering.

Comment posted by: David Jung in a Valley of Diamonds: Supermind and Unus Mundus, the Qualitative Value of Numbers and Unity of Spirit and Matter (Part VI-D)—by David Johnston
Jung attained a very high level of God-surrender as recorded in his last dream/vision, which I wrote about in the essay on Jung’s Later Visions. […] There are several people [Westerners] who have profited from both teachings, including myself, without finding any incompatibility. I am primarily a disciple of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, while being grateful to Jung for his guidance, particularly as a Westerner with its peculiar psychology.  But it was the Mother who directly initiated me on my path in 1969 and that cannot be gainsaid.  I always write from that perspective because it is fundamental to who I am. […] 
Sri Aurobindo rejected the relevance of biographies on his own life noting that his life “has not been on the surface for men to see.”  He also observed that “…a man’s value does not depend on” learning fame “or what he does but on what he is and inwardly becomes.”  Respecting the position taken by Sri Aurobindo suggests to me that a standard biography of Sri Aurobindo, no matter how sympathetic, would be beside the point and essentially false.  What might come closer to the truth would be a mythological “biography” that manages to plumb the poetic cadence of Sri Aurobindo’s life from the inside.  In order to do this, there could be pertinent references to his magnum opus, Savitri, and its ongoing changes, as well as other major poems and literary works.  Synchronistic world events, during and after his life, would also be of interest and significant in understanding his life and its inner meaning.  Most important of all is Sri Aurobindo’s relationship with the Mother, as a mythological biography of the former, by definition, fully implicates the latter.
Then what about Jung?  He wasn’t the avatar as was Sri Aurobindo, and his life was not as profoundly interior as was Sri Aurobindo’s.  Yet it, too, was primarily an interior one, and it was so since early childhood. In fact, Jung made statements about his own life that are similar to what Sri Aurobindo wrote, for instance, he wrote that “all the “outer” aspects [have been] accidental.  Only what is interior has proved to have substance and a determining value.  As a result, all memory of outer events has faded, and perhaps these “outer experiences were never so essential anyhow, or were so only in that they coincided with phases of my inner development……..” Again, similar to Sri Aurobindo he wrote that “In the final analysis, we count for something only because of the essential we embody, and if we do not embody that, life is wasted.”
Although Jung was not an avatar, as an epochal man who has gifted humankind with important teachings on the nature of individuation, he deserves, if not the same order, the same kind of respect as is accorded to Sri Aurobindo by his ardent disciples. This is simply a question of natural respect from the perspective of a higher human agency. […] What I have written about Jung was primarily regarding his inner life; according to both Sri Aurobindo and Jung that is what is important, i.e. the inner man and the essential he embodies provide the relevant data and not all that undigested biographical material on the external Jung that is spread all over the blog like a cancer.
