Absolutely not. "Kind of gem" "86 year old" is an arrogant German who has the temirity to claim he built Auroville. Has the audacity to challenge the Mother's master plan and challenge indecently the development. Used every method of obstruction in the leftist handbook to oppose the building of the crown road. And now has his minions apealing to emotion about being old. This old man, a foreigner, should have known better than to break Indian law.

A while ago I identified what I considered the Social Justice movement's first tenet: that the most urgent issue facing the world in the 21st century is inequalities of race and gender (including sexual orientation and gender identity). I stand by that description. I think that that view is implicit in Ibram X. Kendi's most widely quoted idea: that neutrality is a mask for racism, that anyone who isn't actively antiracist is racist. Because that idea directly implies that one must prioritize racism over other issues, that neutrality might be acceptable on other issues but not on this one. By Amod Lele on 11 May 2025

There are several quirks I can list that might warm the cockles of your heart. First he was among the first organisers of open public political demonstration along side Aurobindo and Deuskar. Therefore by definition charampanthi.

Yet, the human body is not a machine made of interchangeable parts—it is a dynamic, living system where conditions are woven together through a web of physiological, biochemical, and even emotional interrelations. The assumption that treatments act in additive and predictable ways ignores the complex and sometimes nonlinear interactions between organs, functions, and therapies. As a result, what often appears to be effective on paper falls short in real-world healing.

This approach also tends to marginalize context—the uniqueness of each person’s life, environment, stress, sleep, and emotional state—factors that can dramatically shape how diseases manifest and respond to treatment. True healing, then, cannot arise from treating diseases in silos. It must emerge from a more holistic understanding that honors the body’s innate intelligence and interconnectedness. Without this shift, modern medicine will continue to treat symptoms while missing the system—and the soul—it aims to heal.
