Based on canonical texts, this work presents a fascinating account of how the relationship between ‘good’, ‘evil’ and retribution is construed against the backdrop of militant nationalism and the development of modern Hinduism.
The Nonviolent Struggle for Indian Freedom, 1905-19
https://books.google.co.in/books?isbn=019092067X
This book conveys in vivid detail exactly what nonviolence entailed, and the formidable difficulties that the pioneers of such resistance encountered in the years 1905-19.

There is an obvious anachronism in Hindu-bashing discourse here. The first Hindu Sabha was in Panjab 1906 in immediate reaction to the Muslim League's founding. The foundational Uttarpara speech by Aurobindo equating India w/ Hinduism dates from 1909. No Nazis in sight. https://t.co/WPjtpJSwrC

as @hesivh ji has noted so many x , "nationalists" busy propagating "their" leaders... so no time for work of Dayanand, Vivekanand, Aurobindo, BhaiP, Lalaji.. what to say abt Ram Swarup / SR Goel / Gurudatt. https://t.co/PSDHCXRUYD https://t.co/98WiFib0FH

they dont remember textbooks: they see curvy bodies under hypocritical societies watch on the screen and that association sticks: lovely lovely Alauddin (forget his lust for castrated beautiful boys - or maybe even that cd add to the attraction). No such spicy film on Aurobindo.

Dont be sad sir. I did 12 years college education in Pondicherry but learned nothing about Aurobindo until 30 years later..

Until i finished my engineering I had never heard of aurobindo. There was aurbindo school near my lunch college I thought he must be some guru like many of those who become gurus and commit fraud I grew up in the 90s

Why just Bollywood ? Our text books are any less ?
When i was in school , history books published by Vajpayee Govt had 1 entire chapter for Akbar "the great" & only half page for Pala & Sena empires together. 1 page for Vijayanagar. Only few paragraphs for Rashtrakutas !

That is a good news, I have read Indian leftists, and lapdog of International League of Criminals United against India-Pankaj Mishra claiming Aurobindo was Indian version of pseudo scientific Nazi. https://t.co/gpYJ2EsuAw

It isn't fair to dismiss Sumitra Nandan Pant as a leftist! During course of life people get exposed to different ideologies. Later in life he was influenced by Sri Aurobindo. His contribution to Hindi literature is immense. He enriched shuddha Hindi literature by his creations.

Even after reading "a shelf full of books" that Sri Aurobindo wrote, it's difficult to claim any sure hints on future events or political course. Turning a supporter of Modi govt after being a critic on the basis of its non-performance and ideological ambivalence embarrasses many

No one from RW camp has read Sri Aurobindo and their ignorance shows. Name dropping comes handy and mentioning Uttarpara Speech has become an empty slogan. Conflating Vivekananda with Sri Aurobindo invariably is another sign of hypocrisy. Critical appreciation of thought lacking.

[all the earlier works were made obsolete as Sri Aurobindo's higher yoga was distilled through Savitri and I would be better to concentrate on Savitri. It did however give me a certain insight as to why the purity of the Savitri text was important to him.] https://t.co/u1VxLAkby4

Rishi Aurobindo focusses on the yogic essence of Geeta, and not only on jargons & analysis of verses like pedagogues, that is where his work outshines the other verse based commentaries on the Geeta. Rishi integrates his own dhyana into the writing, thus Geeta flows in new meaning

However even then I would say bankim was great in his 'Krishna Charitra' though, if not his Geeta commentary, which he unfortunately couldn't complete due to old age & disease. 'Krishna Charitra' portrays historical Krishna as he would have been, from logical & scientific western pov.

The only author who might outshine rishi aurobindo in his own way, bringing in ideas of modern physics, evolutionary biology to his dhyana experience & revealing a whole new frontier, is this Bengali old Kolkatan writer or rather, yogi below (sadly not for English readers) https://t.co/bJVQ0M3yDv
"Unlike later Indian commentators like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Hegel was very clear in his mind that the Gita preached a form of yoga where the “highest grade is the achieved unity and dwelling with God devoid of works and longing.”" https://t.co/M2PMbzZ39i
https://twitter.com/KS1729/status/988473659235995649?s=19
"the editors cld well have consulted an earlier, largely forgotten, generation of Indian philosophers—equally at home with Eastern & Western traditions—who had rigorously attempted to critique Hegel...There's unfortunately no reference to this literature." https://t.co/sCUY6Yqed5
Prof. Arvind Sharma in "Gandhi: A Spiritual Biography" suggest that Tilak's highlighting of karma is a product of its times, much like Rāmānuja's and Śaṅkara's highlighting of bhakti and jñāna respectively in the same Gītā was a product of theirs.
