It's literally the edge of our collective knowledge


Assorted tweets:

We are heading for one party rule.  It has nothing to do with Hinduism and everything to do with Muslim appeasement.  Nazism in new form.  Hindus! Can you find a militant leader to defend yourself?

Baji Prabhu Deshpande's epic last stand inspired many nationalist leaders too. Aurobindo composed a English poem in his honor, while Veer Savarkar wrote a famous ballad on him in Marathi, to rouse the people against British rule.

Indeed. And when we wake up to this glorious poetry of Sri Aurobindo we will find India produced the greatest English poet of the 20th century. It took the English 400 years to discover Shakespeare’s genius so I guess we have to be a wee bit patient...:) https://t.co/0NgrKQWiC0

I will forever appreciate the syncretic culture of India and how Mughal era is part of India’s fascinating history and the art&culture that they introduced India too. But to say they made India rich is a false narrative & white washing a lot of history.

Islam turns its followers into zombies, which makes them amenable to control. One lever to influence millions, especially the uneducated among the Muslims. Congress exploited this, cannily positioning itself as Islam friendly while keeping the Muslims impoverished and uneducated.

Working through Kumārila on upamāna this past week has highlighted for me just how far the field of Indian philosophy has to go in terms of spadework. Imagine if we had essentially one major English translation of (some of) Aristotle’s works.
https://twitter.com/cmalcolmkeating/status/1150247713004384256?s=19
The chapter on upamāna (the epistemic instrument responsible for knowing similarity) is intimately connected with discussion about perception, memory, language, inference, and metaphysics. Yet there are just a handful of treatments of it, none comprehensive.
And this is the case for so many other parts of Kumārila’s corpus, as well as so many other thinkers.

Assorted tweets:

I have perceived it..a little of that great wave has nudged me to action that i otherwise wouldn’t have performed..simple gestures, that bloomed like a tiny flower, a speck of beauty amidst chaos..yes, I have seen it..
One has to be a bee to appreciate the flower..we simians have lost that faculty long back..a period of training and aspiration is necessary...
Yes. And it is possible..the collective is too big a field to change, we are not Rishis yet, but can start with ourselves..Sri Aurobindo says somewhere on how we aught to be,”..when one of us stands up, thousands around may be filled with His light, joy and power”
But too great the music, too profound the Dharma, until least of the little me remains, it shall not possess me entirely, I shall not be the full-throated songbird yet. of the little I glimpsed i can speak..but one has to know if it is curiosity or sarcasm or quest that impels?

If one reads Sri Aurobindo, then s/he can fathom the significance of Evolution. Why the Westerners came to India? Why Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Tagore, Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, and others went overseas? Recognising inevitability of #WorldUnion and redundancy of Hindutva needed.

Both modernity and postmodernism are essential in our task of consigning all past religions and rituals to museums. Texts of course will circulate but sans reference will lose relevance and adherence. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo will rule on merit. It's Evolutionary inevitability.

Religions are accumulated culture marketed for commercial purposes with political patronage. They are also a means, says Sri Aurobindo, for elevating human consciousness, at times. This transcendental aspect needs to be a priority by relegating mythology and rituals to oblivion.

No one has experienced whole of life and consequently all portrayals of it are inchoate. Stretches of long years may be eventful but in terms of understanding reality of life can be a desert. Spectrum is merely a certain conception or visible aberration of light; not light itself.

Your tweets seem to be a bit uncharitable. Your article may have highlighted some miseries but that's not the whole story. There are many persons who are well acquainted with Ashram history. However, past sufferings should not diminish the relevance of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy.

Hey India, the future is that-a-way

The Hindu-18 hours ago

A significant portion of India must develop the guts and good sense to shift the attention from the past and focus on the future. This section will dream up a future India, free the country at last from all the scars of the past. This section will be the “massive barrier-breakers of Immortality” to echo Sri Aurobindo’s words from Savitri. By the force of their thoughts and deeds, the dream of a lovely India can hasten to become real.

Everything is useful but most religions are just covered with lace and jewelry by people, because people love to decorate everything, and they cover and cover what they are afraid is their ugliness... and eternity's frightening mystery.

It's never about, atheism, theism, deism, or any other ism, but always about people and people are same everywhere. In all its glory human nature is a mix bag of good and evil only varying in degrees.

There are people in this world who focus more on our similarities than differences. These are the people who inspire me. They bring us to common ground. They spread positive vibes. They pursue truth. They remind us that we are linked. Indeed, we're far more alike than we realize.

For those of u who are going through sleep issues,u can consider reading a few pages of Sri Aurobindo literature before trying to doze off, as someone rightly observed, the English of rishi is just like sanskrit mantra/verse, and helps calm down the nervous system/mental tension. https://t.co/OAKZOoc0qq

I can't vouch that it will give u a sound sleep like sleep pills, but at the least, it will remove agitations and tiredness of the mind that is not getting sleep. Though such intrinsic experiences may vary person to person, and some may find greater relaxation in shri maa word
Anna my point being that, bodies of language behave like flow of rivers, they change courses along the path of history, thus what u may not be getting into sanskrit as of 21st century, u may stumble upon certain hidden bengali literature of this end in kali yuga.

Of course I agree there. For each soul that is born to a language or has adopted it as his own, moulds the language to serve his world action. And in doing so, shapes the language too..Sri Aurobindo mentions what Tagore did for Bengali should suffice for 300 years..

No need to disparage Sanskrit..and certainly does not feel ‘mythical’ when the Shruti emerges from your own being in however diluted a form..hear/perceive it once and nothing is the same in you anymore..Bengali does not need such jingoistic support..

I find descriptions of paradisical realms and states from Savitri to be very good for reading before sleep, second only to passages that might resonate with your current circumstances.

transformation. He called it the "the Shadow". 
I also don't like to suggest yoga/dhyana as a cure except for myself and a limited number of others I know, because these are subjective processes. I can't know how well they even understand these and or how well they do these./3
