Sushant Sareen’s warning is timely. “There are lessons we can learn from Pakistan unless we want to end up like them.” https://t.co/7NOV9v0CSG
“Because once we bring the genie out of the bottle…allow mobs to dispense vigilante justice (an oxymoron if ever there was one) everything else that we need to do to build India into a prosperous and strong nation will start to take a back seat.” - @sushantsareen

For all the bluster of Im the Dim, the bullying megalomania of the chief (in) justice & the bombastic claims of an army that proves it's machismo by conquering it's own people, their cowering capitulation before the marauding mullahs was quite something...My take in @DailyO_ https://t.co/KUBTowgdNW

Self righteous SJWs who never read a book in their lives, never stepped out of their comfort zones & Darbari ecosystems and never faced persecution, but learned, all they did, on social media, hardly have any moral authority to certify what all you accomplished in life. Rock on!

Thank you, @narendramodi @Naveen_Odisha for gagging & persecuting Indian citizens under 295A and 153A. Thank you, mainstream media for self-gagging yourself under the unsaid penal codes. Thank you, for telling us that India doesn’t need #FreedomOfExpression #FreedomOfThePress. https://t.co/99sk7vcAWW

China’s state news agency Xinhua this week introduced the newest members of its newsroom: AI anchors who will report “tirelessly” all day every day, from anywhere in the country.

Before Hubble, before Darwin, one could be forgiven for being an agnostic. Not any more. Now, you are either an atheist or a believer. The day one believes in the Theory of Evolution, that day one stops believing in God. It amazes me that so many scientists believe in both.

Thank you @HindolSengupta, for saying it. Children today are being indoctrinated and brainwashed, subtly and often not so subtly, to associate Diwali with "polluting" firecrackers. The subliminal message of Hinduism = bad/regressive is being very effectively transmitted. https://t.co/TfXdDkcNQr

Religion is often a function of geography. Most people adopt religion of their parents or country of birth . E.g 80% of Greeks are orthodox christians, 90% of Indonesians are Muslims. Most people have no rational basis of choosing a religion ; they just follow the crowd

As far as I can remember Sri Aurobindo stands the popular misconceived theory of Karma on its head... must-read! He challenged the idea that karma was just kind of reward & punishment system for good behavior. Sri Aurobindo's sight is like a diamond light cutting thru mental fog.

While Keshab Chandra Sen (1838–1884), Bankim Chandra Chatterjee (1838–1894), and Brajendra Nath Seal (1864–1938) had stirred the intellectual landscape, Sri Aurobindo borrowed generously from Bradley, Nietzsche, Bergson, James, et al to present a critical and synthetic worldview.

Sri Aurobindo wrote profusely to produce a firm and robust intellectual anchorage which is extremely useful in countering diverse speculative thought emanating from the West. Similarly because of him one needn't stagnate at the level of Vivekananda, Gandhi, Savarkar, or Ambedkar.

Present focus of Hindutva seem to be the outer form: temples, rituals, and crowd whereas Sri Aurobindo stressed on their inner significance and power of psychological progress. Science and AI too are moving in that direction and hence Indians must overcome tyranny of superstition

Savitri Era Learning Forum: UCC is against all tradition, will steamroll customs https://t.co/ndLO4mPhlX

[spiritual progress when the human soul wishes by the sheer force of Thought to hasten forward beyond in order to reach prematurely the source of all things without full development of the being in all its progressive stages of conscious activity. The effort is opposed by the Gods who preside over the universe of man and of the world and a violent struggle takes place in the human consciousness between the individual soul in its egoistic eagerness and the universal Powers which seek to fulfil the divine purpose of the Cosmos. The seer Agastya at such a moment confronts in his inner experience Indra, Lord of Swar, the realm of pure intelligence, through which the ascending soul passes into the divine Truth.
... Indra replies that Agastya is his friend and brother,- brother in the soul as children of]
