The Bhagwad Gita ends with Krishna’s discourse and then again with what Sanjaya gained from hearing the discourse, writes DEVDUTT PATTANAIK @devduttmyth in his new book
https://t.co/OK3jCqKNO8 https://t.co/A72vnLxNGq

5th Nov- The Gita stands somewhere in between the Vedic Rishis’ robust attitude to life and the recoil from it which Buddhism, Jainism, & Advaita Vedanta systematized, & which, in Sri Aurobindo’s view, was to be responsible for much of India’s degeneration. https://t.co/9m52AySRaA

In Ramakrishna's days, Keshab Chandra Sen, the Brahmo missionary from a Vaishnav family, revived this form of religious singing with considerable success. ... However, this does not satisfactorily explain the use of an erotic vocabulary earlier in time, which cut across various religious traditions. The sexual metaphor is ...

Excellent synopsis of myriad dimensions of religion in India today. [Chaitanya's innovation was nagar sankirtana (street-singing) whereby worship acquired a collective and congregational character...Lalan Fakir referred to him as 'the messiah of the poor']

Looks like LitFests are mushrooming. All those who are in the job of stimulating discourse or navigating the course of narratives need to be extra cautious not to let their enthusiasm get better of them. No superstition, indoctrination, or pushing of unsubstantiated propositions.

In 1989, he wrote The Revolt of the #Earth, in which he describes his years "digging" in the body. This was followed in 1992 by #Evolution II, where he asks "After Man, who? But the question is: After Man, how?"

I am right now reading The problem of Rebirth. By Sri Aurobindo. My take away till now is
1. Goal of human birth is to realise its divinity and achieve super consciousness
2. Being good and expecting rewards doesn't help in personality development.rather one should stand by TRUTH
https://twitter.com/Navadeep_/status/1058974761303269376?s=19
3. Aurobindo prefers the word Rebirth to re incarnation because along with body a new personality is born depending of the past birth.

Despite social media it's stunning how mediocrity finds it's way to the top. And very few are willing to call out their vanity and those who do are asked to stay quiet.

Now the texts they found in Arabic... Wasn't a lot of it achievements of the classical period translated in Arabic? So Europe rediscovered the knowledge of the antiquities via these texts.

These are moments I'm grateful of my upbringing in Sri Aurobindo Ashram. And that in the course of my life and studies while I may not have read much but his thoughts filtered in subliminally. He has such a lucid demonstration of reason its value its limits and what's beyond.

How new age Bengali movies stereotype non Bengalis:
Bihari -Goonda, Doodhwala.
Nepali -Househelp, Guard.
Oriya - Runs foodstall.
Hindu with Tilak - Antisocial.
Marwari - Villain (Found one named Bajoria as well).
People from East Bengal- Jokers or Maidservant.
Brahmin-Helpless.

Trust me, these are all new age movies. Movies reflect the mood/truth of society and all these cinema are by new age directors and actors including the famous Srijit Mukherji. 
The poison and jealousy is now deeply ingrained in Bengali society of Kolkata. 
God save these people.
