Repeat: Am too old to make a career in sports or politics! I comment on sports as a pastime, as I do on politics, poetry, music. That comes frm reading Sri Aurobindo intimately! But it is all for joy of writing.Never had any affiliation, tho I like a few individual politicians.

I am sure it's not the complete quote. Because Sri Aurobindo did say that violence plays an essential role in our lives. But of course, under this context it means to use violence to bend other people to follow your dictates is a sign of weakness. Gandhi dictated nonviolence.

Wow, this the sixth review of the book I read within a short span of time. Happy to know that Auroville the Earth-Queen, the Rose-flower of the Earth is entering the horizon of the human perception. Good for the India's and the world's supreme renaissance.

@PactAuroville
Yet another generous praise for the book. Auroville has reason to be proud of Akash because, I feel, he puts Auroville, the Earth-Queen, the Rose-flower of the Earth, on the world map without promoting her!

The Mother herself was the brain behind Auroville, otherwise it would have been seen as blaspheme. No wonder, it continues to be under the mire of conflicts and controversies. Strangely, the govt doesn't take any corrective action to mend myriad imperfections of one of its wings.

Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Playing with multiple lenses to catch the sight of a preconceived landscape can be illusory and frustrating. Sri Aurobindo, and no other person, gives an authentic version of truth, the most coherent cosmology. It's an integral whole and not, merely, a synthesis of East and West.

Sr Goel showers praises for Dayanand in his book, "How I became Hindu" and says as below: "It was years later when I read Sri Aurobindo's Bankim, Tilak, Dayananda that I bowed, in repentance and renewed reverence, before that fearless lion of a man who tried his best to ...

If aspiration is the yardstick, we all count for nothing. Sri Aurobindo who aspired to express the play of Higher on material world & Nietzsche, who aspired to express the overcoming of human by humans.
How many people on Twitter (both Tamil & Hindi speaking folks) know that Amritlal Nagar spent lot of time in Madras? In fact he wanted to associate himself, in a long term with Tamil movie industry. He had few minor associations. He was the man who dubbed M.S. Subbulakshmi's

Savarkar and Aurobindo had read the patterns correctly,they were truly attuned in that sense,both would have made a killer combo in post independence politics,sadly one became a victim of wrong political camp,the other completely renounced politics and the system.

IMHO, there is a big diff btwn works / views of scholars of political Hindutva - Savarkar to Elst - n those of spiritual / philosophical Hinduism - Dayanand, Vivekanand, Sri Aurobindo, etc to Gurudatt, Ram Swarup, etc. n some such SR Goel stand in both camps.

An anecdotal observation,doesn’t deserve a detailed study.Those whose worldview have been informed entirely by Goel-Elst,have a skewed and factually unfounded view of modern history of India and suffer from a bias against Bengalis.Specifics rebutting 👇presented in other tweets:
I have read several of Goel’s books myself& think highly of those on medieval history, still.His books are the first i read when I got interested in history, I loved those then, but later as I siffed through primary sources of modern history, I realized their limitations on that:
https://twitter.com/sarkar_swati/status/1433682097726795785?t=OJeMk3xnAMn3dwZH6AgM1g&s=19
I didn’t deny RKM has some issues, but overall their contribution has been monumental. Its suicidal to pull down Hindu religious institutions, of which only few exists. And they are purely Hindu despite their selective & opportunist attempt in court

Savarkar was inspired by Mazzini, I don't know if Aurobindo was. Also, I don't think Mazzini played any role in the specific issue of Bharat Mata notion.

I wd like to emphasize the Aurobindo-Deuskar-Tilak picture of "Maratha-Bengal" dynamic rather than anyone giving highbrow lessons to the other on how superior they have been. Each had its errors and points of sincerity. Lets keep lessons from both and not look down on the other.

Reinterpreting tradition, questioning every established authority

Three other silent beginnings deserve mention for the scale of their combined impact, all three invoking the ancient idea of the ashram as a space for transformation. The protagonists of these three initiatives, reminiscent of some Vedic rishis, came to be recognized by the world as Gurudev, Mahatma and Maharishi. The period of 1920-21 marks moments of great transformation for all three. Of the three — Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), M.K. Gandhi (1869-1947) and Aurobindo Ghosh (1872-1950) — the last was the youngest. Born on August 15, 75 years before 1947, he had played a leading role in the fight against British rule during the years after the Bengal Partition, had been charged with sedition and was jailed for a year before he turned his energy towards re-casting various schools of Indian philosophy as a vast challenge to the doctrinaire and orthodox view of god. After moving to Pondicherry, he wrote, with matchless energy, essays reinterpreting tradition, questioning every established authority on the subject and produced an amazing corpus of philosophical work. The essays were first published in his journal, Arya, and later brought together as books— The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, Essays on the Gita, The Secrets of the Veda, Hymns to the Mystic Fire, The Renaissance of India, The Human Cycle and Future Poetry. It was simply breathtaking, as philosophical work goes. In 1920, Sri Aurobindo chose to cease publication of Arya, and all but stopped writing in order to concentrate on his profoundly meditative epic, Savitri. He dedicated the next three decades of his life to bringing on the earth a higher consciousness through his yogic work for the transformation of the human race. Central to the task was a collective life, the ashram at Pondicherry.
