Some Indian babas r also claiming "Avatarhood"!!!! Sri Aurobindo, as Esha di heard once, said to her : " dui mohiruha, Ramakrishna n Sri Aurobindo"( 2 big trees: Ramakrishna n Sri Aurobindo). Both r living Avatars as we see by their impact on the world.

My original contributions to understanding or interpreting Sri Aurobindo can be summarised under a number of heads:

1) Against Hindutva, Mythology, & Astrology

2) Vedas against Rituals

3) Against Vivekananda

4) Espousing Modernity & Democracy

5) Nationhood to States & languages.

Language is the most enduring glue to bind people together and old boundaries can change. For instance, all Bhojpuri speaking areas can be melded into a new nation instead of imposing Hindi. Of course, all depends upon the will of the people, ultimately.

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151686058465087490?s=19

That's status quo but I'm trying to highlight that due to overpopulation, Development, Democracy, and Governance is not reaching the last mile. And correction is needed. Sovereignty to States is absolutely necessary for this purpose. Otherwise, self-determination unrest may rise.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1152281284531507200?s=19

Please try to understand my argument:

1. Each major language is a natural nation

2. They have been forcibly put under Delhi rule

3. This British legacy needs to be reversed

4. It's up to them to manage their future

5. 50m population figure is optimum

6. They can form a Federation

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151538698141356032?s=19

Power and progress are dominant concerns whenever I discuss Sovereignty to States whereas I stress on language and culture, the organic kernel of a nation. Recognising primacy of that is important relegating other materialistic speculations in the hands of future. @SpiritWithBody

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151542747213398016?s=19

I'm arguing on the basis of Evolutionary prophecy of Sri Aurobindo which relies less upon history and more on the urgency of the ideal of human unity. He wrote this treatise a hundred years back and it's becoming increasingly relevant.

https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151449185146658816?s=19

True, but nothing is permanent and Nature keeps on experimenting. We are not aware of its intention but Sri Aurobindo sketches a probable scenario in his The Human Cycle. He is confident that abstract notions like goodness, generosity, nobility, etc. will be a reality in future.

Dear Internet Hindus, 1 sincere question, How many of you get up early in the morning, take bath, worship(at least for 5 minutes) and then start your day? I can assure not even 4/10, many of you must be thinking it a regressive practice. No wonder, why we are degrading culturally

https://twitter.com/theinfluencer7/status/1147758176860663808?s=19

And yet it is necessary to stay fit and keep your bones healthy. With excellent medical facilities around, most of you will live up to your 80s or 90s. And at that age, you have to preserve enough mobility and strength to perform activities of daily living without assistance.

https://twitter.com/Roflindian/status/1147778254234738688?s=19

So what are the essentials of healthy living? Quite simple & elementary. Eat three meals a day, the lightest at night. Cut down on sugary stuff. Quit smoking. Go for brisk morning/evening walks. 45-60 minutes if you can manage. Learn basic stretching from YouTube & do regularly.

There's nothing wrong in gym culture as such. Just remember that you are physiologically designed to be either a meso, ecto or an endomorph, and that each comes with its own limitations. Remember that the heart is a muscle too that should NEVER be driven to fatigue.

https://twitter.com/Roflindian/status/1147797989911494656?s=19

Exercise should be treated as a tonic. You don't gulp down bottles and bottles of tonic. Similarly, 15-20 minutes of daily, mindful exercise will do wonders. It will improve your mood, give you energy, and most importantly, stave of decrepitude as you age.

Is there any wonder people protest at the idea of rewriting text books. When we want to rubbish the Puranas call them Myths, but conveniently use it as a piece of evidence to perpetrate theories on historical past and socioLogy.

Sanskrit is:

-very potent in its linguistic expression 

-much fuller and subtler

-much more fluid

-in tune with the cosmic creative vibration 

-a better instrument for a more comprehensive light

-a Mantirc language in which the sound and the sense correspond

-always amazing

Bringing Sri Aurobindo's knowledge to the forefront

Assorted tweets:

The Yoga of Sri Aurobindo is unique n unmatched by any other type. It stresses on peace instead of Asanas. " No illness can resist the peace of the Lord." If one does Asanas without peace in the nerves he/she is gone! Peace is primary in Sri Aurobindo's yoga.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1142046433970802688?s=19

The first and last condition of yoga is peace in the mind, vital n physical. After that one may try some Asanas. Sri Aurobindo stresses on the Word "Aum" to bring down peace in the cells of the body. No greater Pranamaya than "Aum". That is the supreme technique.

Our borrowed discourse on Feminism is a shame on our collective intellectual lethargy. Let’s do yourselves and our shallow gender balancing discourse a huge favour and redeem our deracinated self from intellectual poverty through this philosophico-literary gem.

All care should be taken against mithya pratishruti o brutha asfalana (false promises and vain assertions); nothing should be imposed on people in name of tradition. Life and society have developed without any clarity on their dynamics. Unsubstantiated beliefs need to be shunned.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1142041787936038918?s=19

Propagating specific knowledge systems without due scrutiny but with the intention of political mobilisation of people is downright deception. The question is who verifies and what are his credentials? Lack of transparency in such matters amounts to sycophancy and indoctrination.

Arranging events shouldn't be confused as making history. Similarly, a maze of ecosystems and echo chambers won't be construed as nation building. Dissent and disagreement is the cornerstone of creativity. Irreverence, and not imitation, should be the norm for critical appraisal.

The Life Divine is the highest achievement of human civilisation although only a handful on Twitter have read it. Many argue that the age old Indian civilisation will continue its journey but Sri Aurobindo has drastically altered the course of Evolution through his epochal works.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1142060499904806912?s=19

Philosophy is important for developing an open mind and respect for arguments or evidence. Most remain prisoners of tradition and rhetoric so much so that even a rigorous scholar like Sri Aurobindo is ignored. Index of the abysmally low level of intellectuality of present Indians.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1142068883659956225?s=19

Savitri Era Party came into being twelve years back in 2007. Bringing Sri Aurobindo's knowledge to the forefront is possible if his followers form a formidable force to reckon with. Solidarity and concerted action is essential for this lofty goal; Hindutva needs to be jettisoned.

Sri Aurobindo was well conversant with major schools of Indian philosophy and mythology. So undertaking fresh comparison is pointless. Even comparative studies with Western thinkers by S.K. Maitra is not very fruitful. Postmodernism is the only area which challenges Sri Aurobindo

Also I am not questioning Vedanta. I know about these philosophies. But the thing is to look the things from a different perspective. We have to open our mind to look the things differently. If you remember, I also had a different view about Konarka and Udayagiri caves.

Not an expert, but my feeling is that Odisha can't be understood without linking it to Egypt and Indonesia. Interpreting language and culture in isolation would be an error. Overdose of hubris around any deity, or even political figure, can distort an objective search for truth.

When one takes up Sri Aurobindo  seriously one starts breaking all old misconceptions n  prejudices n  narrow religious  beliefs. Sri Aurobindo means freedom frm religionism n a search for harmony, a way to human unity.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1138615792906297344?s=19

It is the psychic opening in Man that initiates "brotherhood of the soul." That is a key phrase in The Ideal of Human Unity.

By virtue of his large integral vision Sri Aurobindo can enter into any discourse, material n spiritual. We have to take him out of the limited circle to the vast fields of life, where all can participate in his all-embracing knowledge. All material problems  can be solved.
