Comment on The Anti-Hindi Riot of Pondicherry by Togo Mukherjee
by Anurag Banerjee from Comments for Overman Foundation by Anurag Banerjee
Many people think we are trying to establish a “new
religion” or that we are against this or that religion; there are many ideas
like that everywhere. But that doesn’t interest us at all! (The Mother, 27 February
1965)
Sri
Aurobindo Ashram -Delhi Branch founded on 12 Feb 1956.
The Delhi Branch was officially inaugurated on 12
February, 1956, with the Blessings of the Mother. To the great joy and gratitude
of spiritual seekers in Northern India ,
the Mother graciously granted the very first Sacred Relics of Sri Aurobindo to
be enshrined here on 5 December, 1957.
Since then the Ashram has been growing at a steady
pace. The shrine and the Meditation Hall continue to be the centre of life and
the teaching of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother the guiding light. The Love and
Blessings of the Master and the Mother and their Grace are always available to
their disciples living here.
All live and work here as equals. No distinctions of
sex, creed, religion, race, caste or national origin are observed: all are
looked upon as souls and children of the Mother. There is no hierarchy of
officials and subordinates. All work in association and as a unit under the
general supervision of one or more sadhaks. Last Updated on Wednesday, 14

Ranganath Raghavan's Response to "A Declaration of
Solidarity" from A critique of the book "The Lives of Sri Aurobindo"
by Peter Heehs To Jay Raichuria and Meera Gupta (Sabda)
To anyone reading your “Declaration” casually and
superficially, it will appear to contain very sound reflections and plausible
ideas. But a closer scrutiny will reveal that the words are high sounding
without solid content. We are having a closer look at your declaration in
a more deliberate manner and these are my reactions.
1. It is NOT an attack against the
Ashram, it is a peaceful protest by some of the Ashramites and devotees of Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother against the non-action (or rather active support) of
the management, against an offender who, even while being an Ashramite, thinks
it is admissible, even justifiable to find fault with the Guru. This is
absolutely inadmissible in any spiritual life, specially so in the Indian
tradition.

As per the teachings of The Mother and Sri
Aurobindo, we are all participants in an evolution that is taking place whether
we stay aware of it or not. So, when you say that ‘I am this and this, and I do
not want to be that and that’ it is simply not within your powers to decide. If
we really leave ourselves in the hands of The Mother, then it is she who makes
one Bagha Jatin, and another her Togo
BABUL'S WORLD: Judgement of The Mother 6 Jul 2008 – Savitri Erans
should take part in these discussions and apply their mind as to ... the
Mother, then it is she who makes one Bagha Jatin, and another her Togo. ... It
is sad, Mr. Tusar, that though you claim to be some sort of Sri ...
P.S.: If you tell us that you are indeed conscious
of that deeper reality within yourself, and that you are truly inwardly
realised and convinced that it is necessary to set up 'systems', create a
'Savitri Era Party', 'save' the Aurobindonian community from impending doom and
destruction wrecked by the wretched administrators you seem to conjure - well,
sound the bugle, and perhaps we shall be inspired to join you. But at present
you hardly come across as one who has the Knowledge or the Call. I can imagine
there is much which can be changed for the better, in Auroville, in the Ashram,
in India
