My name is Sandeep. This blog primarily discusses the Integral Yoga (Интегральной Йоги) of Sri Aurobindo (Шри Ауробиндо) & the Mother Mirra Alfassa (Мать Мирра Альфасса) , whose pictures are seen above. I am *not* affiliated with the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry and this is not an official blog.

Frankly, any answer I give you will be insufficient because it is not the mind but the inner being which needs to be convinced.

Personally, I don’t care about these questions anymore because I have travelled sufficiently on the spiritual path.

If you reach a similar point in the journey, you may also find these contradictions resolved.

Yes, that is why I added Absolute, because the Truth of the Supreme has been declared variously by many great Beings but a uniqueness of Sri Aurobindo is the completeness & comprehensiveness with which it is expressed in all its global, universal & immanenent aspects.

I almost agree.
Usually I don't approve of according the status of Finality or Perfection to someone.
I believe no one is perfect.
Perfection is achieved only in direct realization of the Truth. Rest is just philosophy.

Exactly. With Sri Aurobindo we enter a quite exceptional dynamic where realization itself is a beginning of or at least the preliminary decisive Freedom supporting the Sadhana for Perfection of all the planes & parts & powers of the Being i.e. it's whole Natural self-expression.
Ayatollah Al-Dorsey

So rather than finality his approach in fact projects us into a whole new universe of spiritual and Divine possibilities and attainments. This is what we or at least I believe I sense when I read his writings or thoughts on any issue.

Yes. The uniqueness of Aurobindo is defined by the way he fused unprecedented creativity in the Spiritual tradition and took it to never before reached heights. The philosophy of Aurobindo brings down the Divine and makes it participate in its own creation.

Nobody starts out trying to make Sri Aurobindo a GOD, nor to become part of some sort of cult. It is ur problem if u have these kinds of notions. It is only when one delves deeper, gets an idea of what is the nature, quality & level of this Being that u rightly evaluate & relate.

Hard to say. Gebser's drew from D.T. Suzuki's Zen on arationality, acknowledged Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga. 
You could also go back to William James, re: post-rationalism. 
But Gebser does develop a robust, phenomenological description for integral arationality in his work.

While in Japan, Tagore introduced him to Paul and Mirra Richard, disciples of Sri Aurobindo : they had a very strong influence on him. When Mirra settled at Pondicherry in 1920 and was known as The Mother, Pearson went there to meet Sri Aurobindo.

He may indeed be seen as such an attempt. but personally he's formulation is not my cup of tea because 1) as in the days of yore is still darshana-s should have a link to religion and in my case that would old vaidika polytheism; 2) I don't see a subsuming of evolutionary theory

So you can tweet some interesting comparisons for the benefit of others. Most educated people are absolutely ignorant of Sri Aurobindo's writings. Thanks.

Assuming a theory vacuum before a particular date is perhaps not accurate. Darwin's theory of Evolution also begins at the middle alerts Sri Aurobindo and goes on to complete the cycle by incorporating Involution. Rothbard's portrayal of man and purpose of action too is inchoate.

Sri Aurobindo has already explained in detail the symbolic and psychological character of deities in his The Secret of the Veda over one hundred years back. Popularising that can disabuse people of the superficial mythological perception. So careful study of #SriAurobindo needed.

I have read and RTed your impassioned plea and on a Darshan Day it must have inspired many. Let's hope some positive response from those at the forefront. Btw reproducing Amazon comments in full made the post too lengthy. They also overshadowed the power of your charged eloquence.

Savitri Era Party is an attempt to grow awareness about Sri Aurobindo and develop respect towards him. Right now, he is largely unknown; and even for those who know, is to no avail. This is the factual situation and there's no evidence to the contrary. Yet, sudden change possible.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1231913110031806466?s=19
Poets and philosophers are remembered in all cultures but language poses a barrier in India. Since Sri Aurobindo wrote in English, he is not easily accepted as their own in any region. But his neutral stand on religion can prove to be the panacea for the present political impasse.

Sri Aurobindo's psychological interpretation of the Veda on the other hand opens up new vistas of integral understanding. Relying upon defective worldviews of the past needs to be jettisoned in a scientific spirit. Otherwise it misguides and misleads students & future generation.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1230453035773648897?s=19

You may be right but reading the books of Sri Aurobindo in a scientific spirit has much to offer. And once you know his basic arguments, it's easy to compare with other thinkers profitably. As a philosopher and poet, none can match him; his Vedic Evolutionary prophecy is supreme.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1231802864399290368?s=19

Agree with your observations and in the event of helplessness of we ordinary citizens, the only option is to aspire for the scenario Sri Aurobindo paints in the last chapter of The Life Divine. My feeling is that we are still under the clutch of foreign forces like East India Co.

Four important books of Sri Aurobindo should be there in every home.
1. The Human Cycle
2. The Life Divine
3. The Secret of the Veda and
4. Savitri
It's good to make a habit of reading any one page at random from any book, mechanically, without any conscious effort to understand.

This year Rae and I are kinda really changing our lives. We are going to be flying to

We hope that Southern India and particularly Auroville, near Pondicherry, will help us achieve this objective. On our return we will be converting our white panel van into a camper and wondering off, picking-up boat maintenance and repair work as we travel. We will also be available as crew in order to build up our sea miles and sailing experience.
India: The First Two Months « Showering out of a bucket, living ... By Alex
In the 1960s, Sri Aurobindo, one of
India’s great revolutionary seers, decided that life was full of immorality. He thus conceived the idea for a city that was to act as an experiment in human unity. Somewhere that displaced the importance of material desires. A so-called ‘Township Utopia’ in the making. A place where ‘the only authority is the supreme truth.’ You get the picture.

I have forgiven Auroville for their horrible, mindless bureaucracy after seeing inside the Matrimandir. Oh my God, it is possibly one of the most brilliant places I have ever been inside. From the viewing point outside, about 500 metres away, it looks like a giant gold golf ball, but one close inspection, it is a shimmering jewel of elaborate craftmanship. Inside, it is even more stunning.

'Central Will' from INSPIRATIONS by Transformation_S_8
Sweet Mother, I was waiting for things to be well established in me before writing you again. An important change has occurred: it seems that something in me has 'clicked' - what Sri Aurobindo calls the 'central will,' perhaps - and I am living literally in the obsession of divine realization. This is what I want, nothing else, it is the only goal in life, and at last I have understood (not with the head) that the outer realization in the world will be the consequence of the inner realization. So thousands of times a day, I repeat, 'Mother, I want to be your instrument, ever more conscious, I want to express your truth, your light. I want to be what you want, as you want, when you want.' There is in me now a kind of need for perfection, a will to abolish this ego, a real understanding that to become your instrument means at the same time to find the perfect plenitude of one's personality. So I am living in an almost constant state of aspiration, ,,,
Mother, I am seeing all the mean pettiness that obstructs your divine work. Destroy my smallness and take me unto you. May I be sincere, integrally sincere. With infinite gratitude, I am your child. –Satprem

Social Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and the New Age by Kishor Gandhi—an Appraisal by RY Deshpande Comment posted by: auroman
Whatever be the case, we have to go beyond nationalities instead of strutting our roots and culture.  The psychic transformation takes us beyond insecurity and pride.  Work on that and stop thinking about "who was better than whom"…
No, you are not being asked to renounce your culture but if we truly lived to the values of Sanatana Dharma, we would be able to enlarge and integrate the other communities into a greater harmony.  It takes two sides to fight.  If you persist in differentiating yourself from the other side, then the conflict continues.
If you were in Chidambaram's place, you might have done the same thing. Politics demands pragmatism to deflect volatile situations.  If you first win he confidence of the minorities who are feeling disempowered, you may be able to attempt a reconciliation with the majority later.  But if you keep forcing the minority to accept the majority, then the situation stays explosive…
No. it is pragmatism and statecraft .
There is a veil between the higher and lower gradations which effectively allows the forms active in Matter-Life and Mind, and subject to the experience of the desire soul, to respond as if they are separate, distinct and individual through ignorance of the unity that pervades all existence. The rending of that veil, and the experience of the oneness effectively puts us in touch with the true psychic being, the true soul, and we experience the undivided consciousness of Unity, even while potentially remaining cognizant of and active in the Multiplicity.

Even now it is on record from the writings of Sri Aurobindo that one man’s perfection can save the world. When we see that a single man, Churchill, saved Europe from Nazi domination and a single individual Mahatma Gandhiji forced the British to hand over power to India, we must admit the truth of Sri Aurobindo’s statement. The emerging spiritual individual will be more powerful than mere mortals like Churchill and Gandhi. As such the impact of their personalities on the world will be even greater. So we can definitely say that the current trend towards greater individualism only bodes well for the future of humanity and as such it should be encouraged.
