Bondage to Sri Aurobindo is voluntary and joyful

Coleridge and Arnold, Emerson and Eliot, Bankim and Bipin: Sri Aurobindo drew his ideas of National Education from diverse sources.
Although Mazzini is said to be his inspiration, Sri Aurobindo blends Romantic poetry with Vedic dialectic to carve out his Nationalist ideal.
Sri Aurobindo explains how ideologies have changed over millennia and role of Indians in following the Vedic dialectic of Integral Evolution
How Sri Aurobindo combated the narrow furrows of medieval philosophies and established the Vedic dialectic of Integral Evolution is heroic.
Sri Aurobindo joins issue with formidable philosophical authorities of the past & hence understanding his arguments diligently is important.
No better book than The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo that explains the existence of God in relation to world. [TNM55] http://t.co/M1U9IDpgSq

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are the peak from whichever angle we look at. ~Posted by Tusar Nath Mohapatra #SavitriEra http://t.co/zWa7kuUHqU
Many are ready to advance number of arguments against Sri Aurobindo but not willing to check a page or two from his works. http://t.co/w2aRchyWfS
Epic Savitri by Sri Aurobindo is a magnificent creation but how many people have read even two lines from it? Colossal indifference indeed!
Now that elections are over, RW ranks are finding it difficult to defend Mythology and Medieval practices which jar with high-flown English.
Widespread superstition that Mythology and Sanskrit can save the nation and if Sri Aurobindo wrote in English he got contaminated, is absurd.
Sri Aurobindo's works are a living testimony of that ancient texts and commentaries are not always free from errors and misinterpretations.
@jadhav_in Unfortunately, Shankara has nothing to say on the Vedas. How do you certify what is original is still a problem with the Shruti.
Mythology is being shoved down people's throat through round the year fairs, festivals, celebrations. Sri Aurobindo invites to Vedic wisdom.
Sri Aurobindo has unequivocally talked about the future course that humanity will take and how dominant religions will fall by the wayside.
The young generation must be protected from the pernicious effects of Mythology, Astrology, and Rituals by exposing them to Sri Aurobindo.
Hindutva has become electorally unviable and no amount of muscle flexing or chest thumping can save this anti-Evolutionary relic of the past.
Modi now understands that Congress should survive as a weak opposition at the national level instead of forces like AAP occupying its space.
Hindutva took a severe beating today by Modi speech but the reason is electoral compulsion and not internal reforms as Sri Aurobindo foresaw.
By asserting ideologies may change, Modi is trying to remind RSS that 31% votes are not enough. Pawar, Lalu, and Mulayam are also allies.
Modi is undergoing his weakest phase and would be amenable to compromises. Forthcoming Bihar disaster can prove to be a great leveller.
Modi and Shah usurping both the top positions is height of hubris and Bhagwat will not rest in peace until Gadkari is rehabilitated suitably.
@inrealisation Merit will continue to matter as long as Universities and their grading exists. Knowledge is hierarchical within a paradigm.
@inrealisation No such watertight compartments for knowledge and bliss and if you are aware of postmodernism, all matters of interpretation.
@inrealisation Thanks for the compliments. No escape from the fact that the world is hierarchical and there is always room at the top.
@inrealisation Reading is a subjective activity and assimilation, still more disparate. So nothing coercive indoctrination here. Free & fair.
@inrealisation You returned to your earlier argument: Whatever happened in history will be repeated in future. Sri Aurobindo is different.
@inrealisation It's education, so that one can be conscious of collaborating with the Evolution instead of being affected by herd mentality.
@jadhav_in Sri Aurobindo restores to the Veda its original significance and majesty which has been appreciated by great scholars afterwards.
@inrealisation Yes as simple as that & every individual should be able to choose for himself his own reading material as well as life's path.
@inrealisation I never said about enlightenment. Let's be honest. What I have been requesting here is to shun Mythology and read Sri Aurobindo.
@inrealisation I don't know why you are bringing in other Religions. Sri Aurobindo's writings are needed for proper understanding of world.
@inrealisation I'm very much aware of my bondage to Sri Aurobindo; it's voluntary as well as joyful, don't think it a threat as you imagine.
@inrealisation Not at all. These are all misconceptions. Every one is not at the same level of Evolution. Not easy to leave Sri Aurobindo.
@inrealisation No man is an island. And therefore, prudence demands that one exercises preference for alliance/reliance after due diligence.
@inrealisation Sri Aurobindo can certainly advise better on what it means to be self reliant than the shallow sociological notion of it.
@inrealisation Why do you fear division and privilege majority or monolith? Must have heard of Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
@inrealisation Sri Aurobindo borrows both from India & the West and so its erroneous to bind him within any particular tradition or religion.
Mythological Trinity forces to consider even historical figures in a lot of three. Sri Aurobindo is better judged sans Savarkar or Subhas.
Facts are facts & are to be assimilated through perseverance. Demanding instant substantiation from a Twitter respondent is patently unfair.
@sarkar_swati Since you are an avid reader, I'd encourage you to discover it yourself. @rationalketan @027VivekM @curryputtar @chinmaykrvd
@SMarrtnoj There are ways in which errors of history can be avoided and in this case, Sri Aurobindo relies upon ongoing Evolutionary force.
@SMarrtnoj That's the preliminary approach, and as one gets more convinced and confident, he is engulfed by an urge for disseminating value.
