Posted By: Sandeep Joshi Sat Jan 5, 2013 > Gulati: Peter Heehs raised a considerable controversy within the Sri Aurobindo
Ashram, and outside, with his thesis that Sri Aurobindo was not a Hindu.
The solution to this debate might be to
separate Hinduism into spiritual and cultural aspects. Then we can state that Sri Aurobindo was spiritually Hindu but culturally indifferent, just as some Indians are culturally Hindu but spiritually ignorant (or atheists or Marxist...).

1) No institution that today carries or
attaches to itself the name of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother should be
automatically assumed to represent their direct will in all its operations. In
the absence of direct guidance from their founders all organizations are prone
to go their own way as they think fit and err in the finite wisdom, and in
certain cases the infinite stupidity, of their all too human leadership. The
attempt to decrypt the occult vision and will of the original founders, in this
case Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, by extrapolating from the casual and
meandering e-mails of a few individuals or even the policies and
procedures of independent institutions functioning in their Name would
almost surely end up in misconceptions and wrong notions, at times of the most
exaggerated sort.
2) The sheer scope and scale of the life and
work of the Mother demands a careful and circumspect assessment to even
approach her reality. Viewed simply in its ordinary human dimensions the
Mother's life gives the impression of an uninterrupted sacrifice, a
living yagna, dedicated to Sri Aurobindo and to all that his birth
and life represent. To the work he initiated she gave a concrete form and a
growing life in the world, and through it she has brought to countless
fortunate souls the touch, the brahma-sparsha, of Sri Aurobindo and
her own deep, unconditional and nurturing love.
The Need for Humility : An Indispensable Quality from At the Feet of The Mother a talk by Alok Pandey Tuesday,
5th February 2013 at Hall of Harmony, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India.
The Divine Action upon the world is not
easily understood by humanity. The pressure of the Divine Force is received
poorly because we are often shut up in the small glass case of the ego. We have
our preferences, attachments, opinions about everything leaving little scope
for the Divine to act or if He does so, to be understood. No wonder the forces
that are ever active to disrupt the pilgrim use this pride and arrogance of man
to cause his downfall. The one safety against the attack of these forces
hostile to Yoga is Humility. The other helpful qualities are sincerity and
vigilance. The following talk is based on the need of this indispensable
quality called Humility.

He was passionate about the source of
Hinduism as revealed in his major opus cited above. His aim was to reveal its
psycho-spiritual ‘secret’ in the effort to restore that ‘soul of knowledge’ in
those new foundations of Hinduism which Swami Vivekananda had foreseen.
I have followed Sri Aurobindo’s lead, not
because of any ‘Aurobindonian orthodoxy’ which has been rearing its stifling
head of late, but because my own yoga drew me along the very same path until I

I discovered that our family of Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother may rather not be well informed and learned on this
tremendous upcoming change of reading so far and they are needed to be
facilitated and get benefits of spiritual and mental progresses by this utility
soon or later. And also I discovered that there are no appropriate book formats
of the works of the Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and of the other disciples of
them too… Perhaps somebody might notice that “Bases of Yoga” now “more
