AK Giri - Writing in Times of Displacement
… Here I bring the perspectives of Sri Aurobindo and Gandhi together to understand
resistance against displacement and also the strength and tenacity to create new
lives and homes. I further refer to the Satyagraha launched by people in the …
On the occasion of Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary (ongoing), and I write about how he envisioned inclusive living and thinking. The Mother's Mahasamadhi and the New Creation ( Bengali)
Sri Aurobindo's perspective on Chakras 5: Psychic being in Chakra paradigm
Not "believing", which implies the old religious mode of accepting on faith, but rather "understanding".
Contradictions in society have also greatly increased in the West in the last one or two decades, hence the current "culture war".

Good commentary by and
Do read. #SanatanDharma I agree, most politicians who quote #SriAurobindo have a very partial understanding of His vision, even the article you quoted is inaccurate at many places..& when it comes to implementing His ideas, the less said the better..
But He can use even a spark in absence of the fire Sri Aurobindo's thoughts on equality is seldom discussed. Coming from BJP spox it is encouraging, esp. considering their majoritarian stand. Hope the authors, who represent a weak minority body of dalits inside BJP, will mobilize a larger consensus in the party on equality.
Yes and Sri Aurobindo welcomed the affirmative policy of the Constituent Assembly in his Independence Day message: "... the wisely drastic policy of the Constituent Assembly has made it probable that the problem of the depressed classes will be solved without schism or fissure."
Wonder why there isn’t wider use of Sri Aurobindo’s quotes. The saint’s writings are so powerful, so soulful, so soul-elevating !!
No master has so clearly articulated/glossed on the chaturvarnyam which sri krsna perfunctorily touched in the http://gita. so expansive and cohesive, Divine as knowledge in man, as courage as, harmony as service what a blessing of harmony in his explanations.
"Today, the ashram in Puducherry inspired by him does not cater to any man-made divisions. Perhaps the genesis of this was how Sri Aurobindo viewed the social evil of caste-based discrimination."
Truth. It's what I grew up in. Hardly heard surnames. Couldn't care less about caste
Many get confused with Aurovile, thinking that's the place of Sri Aurobindo.....also Aurovile doesn't direct visitors to actual #SriAurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry city.
Thereby missing out on the real spiritual sadhana & samadhi place of Sri Aurobindo & Mother!
This happened Aurovile should clearly direct visitors and mention in prominent places in Aurovile about #SriAurobindo Ashram . Every year on the 5th, Dec The Mother's International School has a morning assembly around the Shrine of Sri Aurobindo for meditation and special assembly of prayers and recitations. Some pictures of the 2022 assembly

These 10-15 yrs have proved to be very fateful - fatal - for Hindus... starting with imprisonment of Lokmanya in Mandalay, then jailing / exile of Lalaji n Aurobindo Ghose / Bhai Parmanand / Savarkar - that left field open for MKG types... we are still paying for that!
How has Bharatavarsha come to be known for #Diversity? What is the nature of #Tolerance Hindus have? How do we view ‘Other’ #Faiths? Do the Bharateeya societies need to be managed from outside such as ‘Secularism’ so that we dont persecute others?
A #Thread ! Your assessment is not in consonance with Sri Aurobindo's thought as he never denounced Gandhi or Nehru. It would be unwise to criticise the gains of post-independence India.
Different kings ruled different regions and all ills of monarchy was in full play. Glossing over this stark reality won't supply any clear picture. Social harmony was not a given and discrimination was widespread.
Visit Haldia if possible.
