Apsara: Woman In Mythology by This essay is taken from Sri Aurobindo’s Harmony of Virtue! from The Mother India by The Mother India Team
The
Apsaras are the most beautiful and romantic conception on the lesser plane of
Hindu mythology. From the moment that they arose out of the waters of the milky
Ocean, robed in ethereal raiment and heavenly adornment, waking melody from a
million lyres, the beauty and light of them has transformed the world… In
choosing the Hetaira therefore for the Apsara’s earthly similitude, the Hindu
mind showed once more that wonderful mythopoeic penetrativeness which is as
unerring and admirable in its way as the Greek mythopoeic felicity and tact.

that is precisely a tyro authoring The Lives of Sri Aurobindo wants us to accept it. No doubt that would
simply expose him as one who has absolutely no ...
Absent occult vision of my own, I’m
suspending judgment and sticking to scientific archaeology and evolutionary
biology.
That
is the right approach. Your yogic practice does not depend on believing or
disbelieving these occult concepts. The mind has to be silenced instead of being
fed with concepts. That is why I don’t post any of the “supramental”-related
stuff on this blog; it distracts people from more pressing matters. The
only take-home lesson from this essay should be the relevance of the
higher-world “prototype” to the supramental evolution.
The Quest for Intimacy by Dr. Pratyush Vatsala - Contemporary ... As Sri Aurobindo says, “Thus it can

fiction is a very old form of storytelling, embracing certain archetypal
themes, character types, and story elements where the protagonists are larger
than life that go with majority of mysteries, thrillers, romantic novels and
mainstream bestsellers of heroic stories with climax at much-loved happy
ending—even when the ending is ambivalent or negative, there’s generally a
sense of balance which leaves us feeling of nothing except a time pass.
On
the other hand literary fictions focus more on style, psychological depth, a
deeper understanding about life where protagonists are not larger than life,
nor it runs to any happy ending or ambivalent situation at climax and the
readers may find their outlook on life changing after reading such novels.
Ambedkar and The Greatest Indian Poll – OpEd in The Pioneer from Offstumped - Commentary on Indian Politics Originally published by The Pioneer on the 11th June
2012 here. Also read the controversial blog post cited in the OpEd and the question
posed by a reader on Modern Leaders and Avataras.
To
erase the deep sense of victimhood that prevails from centuries of caste-based
discrimination, it is Ambedkar above all the other leaders including Mahatma
Gandhi who will likely receive that exalted status for posterity. There
is both a historical and modern rationale to Ambedkar’s potentially receiving
that status, perhaps as the reincarnation of Dharma himself. The
modern rationale for doing so is obvious, given Ambedkar’s role in authoring
the Constitution and more importantly in articulating a sense of constitutional
morality or dharma for how we must conduct our affairs in public…
Thus,
we have the twin symbols of Dharma in the Mahabharata having a known and
unknown Sudra origin, while the symbol of constitutional morality in modern day
