Need to look at Sri Aurobindo as the torchbearer of Evolution

Assorted tweets collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra @NathTusar, Founder of SELF (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Savitri Era Party (2007)

Finally after a decade, The Life Divine by #SriAurobindo is making sense to me & also am able to intuitively understand it. This book was given to me by a monk of Sri Ramakrishna. Though i took it enthusiastically but on reading first few pages, could understand nothing
Tried gifting the book to friends but no one showed any interest, hence all these years the book travelled with us to different cities. Finally am understanding & the book is revealing much to me... after 10 yrs.

On this 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo, do read about the great poet, revolutionary and Yogi. Order here

Rejoicing the integral experience in England, Sri Aurobindo stayed in England for sometime, Reading His and the Mother's Collected Works, To be intellectually self-sufficient To be above all, confident...

It is fascinating that prominent figures of the Indian national movement (across the political spectrum) like Radhakrishnan, Aurobindo, Iqbal engaged with the ideas of Bergson in some way. Can't find any work that shows this aspect.

Was Sri Aurobindo too a reformist. I only read a little too less of his works this can't say

On page 510 of Savitri, in opposition to the Goddess of Strength, Sri Aurobindo introduces the character of a 'dwarf- Titan' . Who symbolizes this figure in our mythology/ what type of person does this dwarf Titan stand for?

Replying to and
I'm completely with Rishi Aurobindo on this. If everything is unreal & Maya - then what's the point of it all.

Namaste from DharmaGurukulam. This weekend, as part of Bodhi Program special session, we're brining together speakers from some unique educational models - Waldorf, Nai Talim, Krishnamurti and Sri Aurobindo. The session is open to all.

You are outright ignorant. Bengal had never forgotten Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghose and Subhas Chandra Bose. Don’t pedal Sanghi nonsense in my TL. I have studied enough ethnic hatred of RSS against Bengalis to be influenced by ur propaganda. Over & out.

Sri Aurobindo wrote the poem "dwarf napoleon" in allusion to Hitler. I guess, the sentiment behind the word "dwarf" is common to both these cases: A petty undeveloped consciousness wielding gigantic power. The one's inner stature does not match one's influence and ambitions.

There is only one solution: by aspiration, concentration, interiorization and identification, to unite with the supreme Will. And that is both omnipotence and perfect freedom. It’s the only omnipotence, the only freedom — all the rest are approximations.

She has quoted Adi Shankracharya as well as Panini but not touched the Avtaar Sri Aurobindo Who had written on this subject and also given us blueprint for the future..... End

It was very nice talking to all of you about my book #India2030: The Rise of a Rajasic Nation. Thank you @dravirmani @CharanSingh60 and @EgrowFoundation. twitter.com/EgrowFoundatio…
Thanks Your weaving of Sanatan philosophy, views of Indian philosophers, thoughts of Aurobindo with economic growth in India was very refreshing Need more such India-centric research, given pristine Vedic literature, Gita, and 2 longest epics

Replying to
England is so fortunate to have the footprints of Sri Aurobindo across it's places...

Because Gandhi got a good press which Aurobindo didn't. Gandhi is now associated with the non violence crap & that crap is raged with India which we could not let go so easy. Many in the west know India by his name & would say, Oh you're from the land of Gandhi. What can you do?

Worryingly like Hindus of the last century did to Gandhi Hindus of today, even sincere followers of Sri Aurobindo, give blind allegiance to their leaders. So prblm is not Afghanistan but Hindu leaders & Hindus themselves who r doomed by their own incurable meekness to lose India.

Replying to
we don't know; Lokmanya had done that on scale not seen before him n m/hv taken to greater heights - with his associates (Lalaji, BC Pal etc) n comrades (Aurobindo Ghose was chief among them_ - but for forced long exile. MKG harvested than but then what did he do with that?

Sri spoke about the relevance of Sri Aurobindo's thoughts today in Auro Avalokan shibiram. He was a proponent of #SantanaDharma goading Bharateeyas towards abhyudaya and nishreya .. Prosperity for the glory of motherland, nishreyas ( connecting to the Divine).
Acharya Kasireddy Venkata Reddy gave guidance today in the 'Auro-Avalokan shibiram', (Train the trainers program). The speakers will go to villages and towns to spread the message of #SriAurobindo.

Time & again I remember d words of #HymntoDurga by #SriAurobindo .. Mother Durga , Slay the enemy within & then root out all the obstacles outside.. Written in 1909 & fully packed with patriotism, This advice was neglected just coz it was written by SA ! Time for action Now !!

A talk by Shri Narendrabhai Patel at Sri Aurobindo Sadhana Kendra, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat, India

Sri Aurobindo’s View of the Supramental Transformation
Listen to "The Need for the Descent of Peace Into the Being" by Sri Aurobindo Studies.

Rules of the game, surely, are pivotal but success, most often, is achieved by flouting them. Dishonesty, therefore, is rampant and intellectual dishonesty is a far more serious malaise. For those who talk about ethics seldom practice it in real life. Yoke of party is the culprit.

From school syllabus to current social media, I have been fed with disinformation for the last sixty years. Young generation is also suffering from the same malnutrition. One set of lies are being replaced by another. No attempt to remedy the malady. Civilisation must ensure this

A man who promoted education till his last breath, Sriballav was also the President of the New Life Education Trust (NLET) which ran more than 300 Sri Aurobindo Schools in Odisha.
Sriballav & Sunanda Panigrahi foundation aims at promoting the values and ideals that were close to the hearts of Sriballav Babu and Sunanda Devi. Among other things, it will aim to promote probity in public life, good governance and try to empower the marginalized and deprived sections of the society particularly through education.

The petition filed by Peter Heehs, author of ‘The Lives of Sri Aurobindo’, in the Orissa High Court challenging the ban imposed by the State government on the book has been finally dismissed after nine years.
The bench endorsed the government’s contention that norms prescribed filing of such petitions within a maximum period of two months of notification of an order, but the petition was filed after over two years.
