'Veda Kiranna' was initiated in March 2019 to spread benefits of mantra chanting at homes. This provides opportunities for learned vidwans to recollect, chant mantras, earn living, as well encourage young minds at houses to opt Veda as a career option. SAKSHI offers this for free

I never said poetry would be without metaphor always. But there may be bare poetry sometimes. Metaphor is not a must in Vyasa. Sri Aurobindo calls the bare metaphorless style in poets "bare Vyasian". Wordsworth's early poetry has this bareness, which SA rates very high.
https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1152540498285875200?s=19
Metaphor is a must. Both in prose n poetry. Some writers like Nolini Kanta Gupta use it sparingly. Cool, colourless bare Nolini Kanta! That is also an art. Rare in literature. Valmiki uses images profusely. Both Vyasa n Valmiki are great poets. 2 different types. "Vyasa is the most masculine of writers". Sri Aurobindo
There are gradations of inspirations, Master spoke of influence of various planes upon mind..each comes with it characteristic signature..but it seems when one touches borders of Shruti, again of many levels, all bets are off as to what construct it might or might not use..
https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1152811279326650370?s=19
By construct I mean metaphors or allusions or anything else..the Shruti is manifestation of an yet unmanifested aspect of Truth and as such it uses materials of language available but also invents its own structures that are better suitable for its expression...
I remember a comment by Master in response to a query about language of the Supramental..His response and i paraphrase..’you won’t have even the illusion of understanding if I used the Supramental language’..so one can imagine consequences..
Take the SaptaChatusthaya..just seven tetrads..such brief lines..and yet the whole Record of Yoga is a parsing of its sense, practise, unfolding and effective manifestation...this is Shruti..direct, bare and pregnant with the future realisation to be and with power to manifest it
And first sections of Savitri..where Master begins at the very beginning of this all...remember the line around cloak slipping from a reclining God...how to classify this?! I believe the Shruti chooses its expression..and our disposition to slot it is of little relevance to it

Men are pressed Talk to me when men don’t beat and rape their wives, when men stop taking their financial autonomy away, when they stop treating them like breeding machines, when they are not relegated to house chores and taking care of kids and elders. Until then, yay divorce
Read these tweets aloud to students for my Gender Studies lecture today and the responses to it by men and it helped them understand why men are so trash. Thanks guys.
I'm always in support of women growth & respect they should get but someone need to teach you that divorce rate going high isn't women empowerment, there are legit hundreds of reasons for divorces where you can't blame men. Instead of helping women grow you're brainwashing them. https://t.co/bJcO17yqdw

Did you know that traditionally, tawaifs would celebrate the birth of a daughter in their homes (kothas) by singing, dancing & throwing a ‘biriyani’ feast, but when a son was born, the mood was opposite; the child would be left unattended on a ą¤ą¤्ą¤ा (balcony) hoping it’d die 1/2 https://t.co/XXAZ3L0p9s

How Sri Aurobindo delineates the qualities of Dakshina or Daksha in The Secret of the Veda is very useful to understand this difference between left and right. Besides, he writes on Rta or the right.

The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo is the only guide for authentic interpretation of various names of deities which are in fact cosmic powers and principles without any connection with later day mythological portrayals as well as depiction as idols, sculptures, or paintings.

Sri Aurobindo introduces the concept of the logic of the Infinite to examine problems like this. The Life Divine is basically meant for resolving all sorts of questions and conundrums relating to our existence in this world in consonance with science. Surely an indispensable read
