It's important to remember that when Sri Aurobindo started publishing his flagship philosophical venture The Life Divine in 1914, abundant intellectual fermentation had taken place in the West including Vivekananda's speech at the World's Parliament of Religions, Chicago in 1893.

Tracing the intellectual genealogy of Sri Aurobindo may not be a very credible exercise given his yogic expertise but a host of thinkers in the West were around at the same time theorising almost on the same lines, when he was publishing the successive chapters of The Life Divine. 

This month in 2008, the Heehs imbroglio broke out leading to immense mental suffering and tension by a lot of people. The ban on the book is still a blot on the good name of Sri Aurobindo. There must be some serious effort to undo the impetuous action by a handful of enthusiasts.

I formed the Sundargarh chapter of World Union in 1981

World Union Day as declared by The Mother is celebrated on August 20. Sri Aurobindo advocates a #WorldUnion as political solution. I formed the Sundargarh chapter of World Union in 1981. Thereafter, a special issue of the journal came out on the occasion of its silver jubilee. The concerns are aglow even today and the third dream of Sri Aurobindo is the only solution.

Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo as a compass to build a just and compassionate society savitriera.blogspot.com/2021/08/sri-au All are invited to spend some time within the archives of this blog by Tusar Nath Mohapatra @NathTusar running since 2005. Savitri Era of those who adore, Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo has foreseen a #WorldUnion as an effective Federation. You may also consider the prospect of Sovereignty to the States of India on linguistic lines. Smaller nations can look after local concerns better.

With due respect, without a robust ideology and future vision, a new party runs the risk of skidding on issues. Accepting Sri Aurobindo as the pivot of political future is the need of the hour. Cc

Nothing wrong with that but my request is to give Sri Aurobindo a much higher position than others on the basis of his prophecies on future Evolution. Reading his books can give an idea of his profundity and greatness. incarnateword.in/cwsa

I requested for considering Sri Aurobindo as the greatest poet and philosopher of India and to be guided by his political ideology. But as a true dacoit, you have hijacked the discussion to inanities. Thanks.

Sri Aurobindo has reinterpreted the Veda where Rama doesn't exist. Need to go to the roots of Indian wisdom. No better commentator than Sri Aurobindo. incarnateword.in/cwsa/15

I agree but would like to add that Sri Aurobindo's future vision needs to be taken as a compass to build a just and compassionate society.

Excellent introduction by @AmanAlbelaa to the life and work of Sri Aurobindo, the greatest poet and philosopher of India, on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary year celebrations from August 15. I speak on his current political relevance at 10:10. #FiveDreams #WorldUnion

Many thanks for giving me this opportunity for saying a few words on the political relevance of Sri Aurobindo, when the country is standing on the crossroads. Content is almost flawless and the voice is powerful. Kuldip Mishra, Gopa Basu, and Jagjit Singh also feature in capsule.

Any model or theory that does not account for the inevitable hidden forces of self and nature and God, is eventually incapable of explaining reality as it was and will be. Also, a Seer views things from spirit-tops, and for us bound to valleys it might be incomprehensible.

@SavitriEra

The Vision of Sri Aurobindo edited by GN Sarma (1973) has the foreword by RP Nath. Stress on sociopolitical dimensions of Sri Aurobindo's vision is a plus point of the book. Not many such books are coming out now.
@ProfessorPuri
is in the process of editing a Sri Aurobindo reader

Many books brought out by other publishing houses than the Ashram are hard to find today. This 1973 publication has contributions from BR Nanda, VM Reddy, SK Ghose, VK Gokak, AK Majumdar, and SK Banerji apart from the foreword by Karan Singh and a preface by VC Joshi, the editor.

From August 15, 2021 to August 15, 2022, the whole year will be celebrated as Sri Aurobindo's 150th birth anniversary year. Webinars are attracting the young and the educated and let's hope that an intelligent contingent of people will emerge for spreading his message worldwide.

The 2nd module of ongoing #SriAurobindo course by Rashtram begins tomorrow, in this segment, focussing on “Integral Yoga”. Send your resume and a brief statement-of-purpose to aurostudies@rashtram.org. We have 4 more #scholarships available for annual subscription, apply today!
