Kashmir Shaivism is misnomer coined by some scholer around 1910. Unfortunately we have to use this term to give are due to Great Master's of Trika from Kashmir. But now learned Kashmiri Hindus, avoid this term because it gives a wrong notion, that it was limited to Kashmir or was something different from tantrism practiced in our country at large. Infact practices and transmission of Trika Shiava are very much infused in all higher tantric paths, from Sri vidya to Aghora; from Shaiva Sidhanta to Puranic Shaiva worship. Ofcourse it will take time to remove the notion of seperatism in word "Kashmir" from India, but we all are working together in this. Thanks for this wornderful sharing. @Ayudhika1310

11 Mar 2021 — Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was a modern Indian yogi who founded the form of yoga known as Integral Yoga, a theory and practice of consciousness (yoga darshana) aiming at the evolution of humans into a race of cosmic and transcendental beings, who he termed “supramental beings.” Apart from his own practice, ...

15. The Spiritual Sedation – From Warrior Gita to Wellness Gita Imagine this: A mob stands at your gate, shouting, ready to take everything. And inside, you sit cross-legged… meditating. But pause for a moment—which Gita did Krishna really give Arjuna? Was it a scripture of renunciation… or a thunderous call to arms? The Bhagavad Gita was never about quiet retreat. It was a fire of action, a hymn of courage, a roar for Dharma. Yet today, it has been softened, misquoted, and sold as a “wellness guide.”  This film explores how modern spirituality has turned into spiritual sedation—and how civilizations collapse when warriors forget their duty.

From the fall of Rome to the sleepwalking surrender of Europe, from Madrasas in India shaping conviction while yoga retreats shape apathy, the pattern is clear: Civilizations don’t fall because of enemies outside. They fall when their own youth choose silence.  Was the Gita meant to put you to sleep? Or to wake you up to Dharma? This is not just about faith. It is about survival. Rome prayed… and fell. Will Bharat repeat the same mistake?

Random thought, but I know only one original Indian perspective that is of relevance to everything from how we deal with AI to the future of the human race. Sri Aurobindo. It is a great pity we approach him as a "philosopher" rather than as a Technocrat of Consciousness.

03 observations, Mr. Leader of the Opposition:

(1) We need to provide our students with greater opportunities across a wide range of disciplines and fields.

(2 ) This is precisely one of the key objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

(3) When discussing education, we must rise above political boundaries and work collectively in the larger interest of our students and the nation.

A Remarkable Story From Sri Aurobindo Ashram: 'ঋষি অরবিন্দর দেহ পাঁচদিন আগলে রেখেছিলেন শ্রীমা'

Sri Aurobindo's passing remains one of the most discussed events in modern Indian spiritual history. After his mahasamadhi, The Mother (Mirra Alfassa) preserved and watched over his body for five days before the final rites were performed.

In this short video, Dr. Monotosh Dasgupta explores this extraordinary episode and its spiritual significance, shedding light on the unique relationship between Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

A fascinating glimpse into the history and spiritual legacy of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

Fully agree and second P.V. Kane and R.P. Kangle. Also Sri Aurobindo on Vedas & Upanishads, Swami Gambhirananda, V. Raghavan, SK De, Mehendale, etc.

https://x.com/i/status/2066822963559883066

Sri Aurobindo did not look at the Sanskrit word Barhis as a physical carpet of grass but as the outspread, widened inner seat of the soul. It represents the purified, expansive field of human consciousness prepared by the seeker to host the cosmic gods.
