Sri Aurobindo reached Pondicherry on this day (4th April) in 1910... His words and vision of India's rise and role in the world manifests with each passing day... https://t.co/fARcggA7Dn
April 4, marks the 109th anniversary of Sri Aurobindo arriving at Puducherry, then Pondicherry. Some glimpses of the Shankara Chetty House where he first set foot and met legends like Bharathiyar : https://t.co/Sh04xXOPXP
It is remarkable how Sri Aurobindo who, shy and reserved by temperament, lived in solitude and seclusion, fully absorbed in his supramental yoga and the whirl and rush of its revolutionary developments, attracted to himself, one after another, so many of the souls who were touched by his light and were destined to be the standard-bearers of his epoch-making spiritual work.

Which biography of Sri Aurobindo matches this description? Lamentably, perhaps none. Let's hope @SpiritWithBody undertakes ... [too much must not be expected from any humble effort to produce, rather a pleasing but faithful miniature, than a grand and commanding full-sized portrait.]

The British model of environmentalism is to clean up the dirt and dump it on the rest of the planet. It is as shallow as the eye. They maintain denuded hillsides by rearing sheep, ruining biodiversity. They exterminate all wild life by hunting (Also ruined wildlife in India).

I don’t want to give geographical tags for this specific type of perception. We can call it as Rtambhara Prajña or as Ārya Prajña. Many cultures had this, atleast partially. But even when they lost it, it can be re-acquired. A perennial civilization possesses this without breaks.

The distinct subregional “subaltern God’s” are not that different from similar phenomenon elsewhere in ganga valley and many parts of India. But a lot of those mentioned above were late 18-19th c reinventions or initiations of forms of deities taken from ancient common beliefs
https://twitter.com/dikgaj/status/1113737035842510849?s=19
Shared among a wide Hindu population that stretched all the way from Mathura/Vrindavan to western Assam valley including Bengal. Most deities come from Buddhist reconstructions of shakti hence share features with tantra (a branch of shaiva/shakta adopted & modified by Buddhists)
Jaina adaptation of Vedic, shaiva-shakta, with Buddhist interlude and remnant traces of proto-Hindu tribal deities make up the so called distinctive culture of Bengal deities. It’s over simplification to claim they don’t come from common roots of entire Ganga valley culture.
It’s true that sections of RSS/BJP may wrongly identify their own home base deity/ritual as currently practiced to be the only correct form of Hinduism: but they are making the same error as claiming Bengal deity “distinctions”. They r using a modern snapshot to deny others.
Varanasi shaivism was a key center of tantra in ancient and early medieval: Bengal and Varanasi had very close connections from ancient period. Same for chnadranath range in Assam/Bengal frontier. What u see now us is shattered mosaic snapshot of very ancient commonalities.
Regional supremacists of both ends are using current snapshots to create a superiority distinction narrative suited to maintaining their respective status quo grip on power and benefits. No need to hide it under “culture”.

The British always had a divided society by class. The majority are quasi-slaves who are ruled by an elite sitting in the towers of London. Today it’s a financial elite and an academic elite. Britain holds top position in both the arenas. In media, it probably beats even the USA.
https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1113739911948115969?s=19
The Indian elite are still minted to a large extent in Britain. It is pretty terrible. This is why corrupt people like Nirav Modi or Vijay Malya take flight to London, not to the USA. The elite of Pakistan is even more sold out to Britain. That’s why they are in a shittier state.
And replying to Sri Koenraad Elst, the British never left! They still control the intellectual hierarchy in India, as they control
1) Media
2) Academics in universities
3) Financial capital and investment
4) International legal institutions
5) Indian courts (legacy judgements)
https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1113721441214709766?s=19
Until and unless India has a new constitution that is written in Indian languages and approved by the Indian people through a democratic vote, I am not willing to accept that the British have left.
They simple didn’t. They just outsourced the job to field workers.
