Strive for a united, peaceful global society


Assorted tweets:

The larger aim of the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, Pondicherry, is to strive for a united, peaceful global society. Refreshingly, there is no talk of religion.

https://t.co/tHs29hZxYn Modi’s elevation to the post of India’s prime minister in 2014 is a watershed moment for India. @PMOIndia @narendramodi has understood the idea of Bharat Shakti & is therefore the best instrument to confirm & fulfil Aurobindo’s augury. https://t.co/QZZdUmFssC

In absence of concrete ideas and policies, empty symbolism is what passes for pro Hindu polity. (This is why core is important) https://t.co/Fb9kFQ7nFa

That was what the great S R Goel had nicknamed 'windbag' politics, steered in his time by Vajpayee. Alas! that wasn't an exception but has become a well-entrenched tradition.

For the BJP however, especially after the advent of Modi at its helm, ‘Vande Mataram’ evolved into a war cry, a chant that defines the party’s – and other affiliates of the Sangh parivar – view of nationalism. https://t.co/H1CRdN5hAI

5/ Sri Aurobindo's difficulty in expressing on paper what he experienced firsthand inwardly, is a GREAT lesson: No matter what the words on the page tell us, they NEVER give us more than a hint or a suggestion or a pointer to what the real meaning of those words are or might be..

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't, definitely, be identified with one nation; they worked for the whole humanity or rather to transcend it. Those who are in love with a muscular representation of Sri Aurobindo's political philosophy are, of course, entitled to such a tunnel vision.

Exactly. But Ashis Nandy n Dipesh Chakrabarty refuse to accept our view. And they are the "gods" of social history today!!! Sugata Bose knows his value a bit. https://t.co/BhZWBOK6VT

Let's hope that new informed representation of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo surface across disciplines so that the two extremes, 1) yoga and meditation pushed by the Ashram, and 2) militant revolutionary popularised by the left make way for a wider appreciation of their versatility

1. There is need to bring Sri Aurobindo's vision to occupy Indian political space.
2. We also need to be REALISTIC.
3. It would not be like Hindutva.
3. But it would need to address Islamic terrorism and Christian convertion.
4. Let this idea reach all Sri Aurobindo followers.
