Yoga-I Page – 272 … it is not our hope to transform suddenly the
whole human race. Your object is precisely to lead a higher life away from the
ordinary world, only it is not solitary; there is a collective side to it and a
side, not only of meditation, but of work, action and creation. There is
nothing in this that is impossible.
Sri Aurobindo and
Karl Marx: integral sociology and dialectical ... - Page xx - -Debi
Prasad Chattopadhyaya - 1988 - Here the student of the history of
sociology can hardly fail to note that the Marx-Aurobindo controversy is a creative extension
of a very old and interesting intellectual battle which has been going on for
centuries and drawing into its arena distinguished thinkers like Hobbes, Rousseau, Vico, Hegel, Comte, Mill, and Morgan. 6:46 PM
Sri
Aurobindo is neglected as a literary critic. Because people considered him as a
saint, a yogi and even a philosopher but not as a literary critic and poet of
eminence. But actually he was a man with a keen sense of critical perception…
Aurobindo
has an encyclopaedic range. Not only English authors but European writers all
come under the critical purview of Aurobindo. Ancient Indian works like Vedas and Upanishads are
also studied by him. Aurobindo has used Eliot’s observation ‘Comparison and
Analysis’ in his criticism. He has studied Milton beside Dante, Homer beside
Valmiki and so on. His theory of translation of poetry is very fascinating. He
think that there are two ways of rendering a poem from one language into
another- one is to keep strictly to the manner and turn of the original, the
other to take its spirit, sense and imagery and reproduce them freely so as to
suit the new language.
Aurobindo’s
observations about the poet and poetry create special place in Indian
criticism. He is the first Indian English critic of poetry with a theory of his
own. His assessment of English authors remains as a gift for the readers.

Aurobindo - the vocal opponent of socialism - Sanjeev Sabhlok's revolutionary

Most
people think of Sri Aurobindo as a great spiritual and literary master. Few
realise that he was, in line with Vivekananda and most Indian philosophers, a
great proponent of liberty and – in Sri Aurobindo's case – a direct opponent of
socialism… The more I think about it, it becomes clear that I am speaking from
the ANCIENT INDIAN TRADITION. It is an instinctive expression of critical
thinking, tolerance, and liberty that ancient India so deeply understood… a deep
instinctive tolerance and insistence on liberty. It was an instinctive
expression of Indian-ness, the true Hindutva… It is time to reclaim Hindu
Capitalism (also known as Hindu Dharma) and bring tolerance and liberty back to
India .
This includes economic freedom and incentive-based governance outlined in Arthashastra.
A Philosopher Defends
Favoritism BY CARL L. BANKSTON III Steven
T. Asma has an
interesting article on fairness versus favoritism...
I
have consistently found that the actions of parents undermine programs aimed at
redistributing resources and opportunities to achieve uniform “fairness” in
American schools. Even when parents sincerely believe that every student should
have exactly the same benefits and opportunities, they do everything they can
to maximize the opportunities of their own children. Since some families are
better able to realize their goals than others, families promote inequality of
opportunity. They are, Asma might say, devoted to favoritism. This, I think, is
as it should be. Parents who do don’t want to promote the best interests of
their own children over goals of abstract equality are, to put it bluntly, bad
parents.
The
law of karma as part of a process of soul evolution and development can only
have meaning if it is continuous and follows the line of development.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram -
Delhi Branch. Saturday 17 November 2012 The
Mother’s Mahasamadhi Day will be observed in the Ashram as a day of SILENCE
6.45
p.m. - Offering of Lights of Aspiration
7.00
p.m. - Silent Meditation
On
17th November 1973, the Mother left her body. She was ninety-five. Many among
her children were deeply shaken for the time being. But they realise now that
she is always present amidst them.
Both
at home and abroad, the devotees see the Mother in their dreams. They feel her presence,
listen to her message and get inspiration and instruction in their work. They firmly
believe that the Mother will return in a new form. Meanwhile her mission is
getting quietly fulfilled more and more. When Sri Aurobindo left his body the
Mother said, "Nothing has changed. All that Sri Aurobindo has said is
true, time will prove it." On the Mother's withdrawal, her children are
carrying on her work repeating the same dictum "Nothing has changed."
It
is upon you, the young, that her hope rests.
"Sri
Aurobindo and Calcutta Memorial Committee" identified places in Calcutta where Sri
Aurobindo had stayed at or worked from. In co-operation with the Calcutta
Municipal Corporation, Memorial Plaques were erected at these identified sites
- a consummation of Joya di's long and laborious endeavour.
