One may or may not secure a foothold in his philosophy after long years but by going through his books on diverse themes, it dawns how one is drawn gradually and irrevocably toward the unimaginable vastness of Sri Aurobindo's canvas. There's nothing else comparable on this planet.
Savitri Era Religious Fraternity: Many devotees of Sri Aurobindo are pushing the Hindutva narrative serfrat.blogspot.com/2021/10/many-d Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b.1956) Founder, SELF (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006) and Savitri Era Party (2007) scholar.google.co.in/citations?user informaticsjournals.in/index.php/nmr/
Initially, one doesn't understand Sri Aurobindo. Then, one begins to understand him and a sense of certainty sets in. Later, when one covers more texts, it comes to the fore that Sri Aurobindo is not certain on anything. He is always tentative and leaves things to possibilities.
Each one must discover The Mother & Sri Aurobindo in his or her own way without being unduly influenced by laudatory descriptions by earlier disciples. Their divinity too must stand the test of critical scrutiny. Exaggerated promises or expectation of miracles can't be their USP.
Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo on spirituality, yoga, meditation, experience, etc. belong to a very advanced domain and are likely to cause frustration in the reader not being easily accessible. Similarly, clutching on to temptation of miracles template brings depression.
Writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are futuristic. So no one should encourage mind falling silent or prolonged meditation. These techniques are not strictly result-oriented and may lead to frustration or depression. Similarly, an overt and over-reliance on miracles is flawed.
Privileging Mythology and Monarchy, Rituals and Miracles corrodes the critical and creative faculty of impressionable minds.
Mythology and Astrology, Rituals and Miracles, & superstitions and hypocrisy are at the root of Indian backwardness. Sri Aurobindo shows way
May everyone follow Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Unity, Mutuality, and Harmony by abandoning Mythology, Astrology, and Miracle-mongering.
Read "The Life Divine" by Sri Aurobindo to come out from the spell of Mythology and miracle-mongering. Young Indians must sharpen intellect.
When we speak about Sri Aurobindo, it's not Mythology or miracles. His Philosophy stands the test of the highest intellectual interrogation.
Sri Aurobindo empowers you to withdraw from rituals and miracles, mythology and superstitions and rely upon Science, Market, and Modernity.
Why should the children of a software engineer suffer from superstitions and miracles because of his soft corner for mythology and rituals?

It’s puzzling that the #left can scarcely navigate our mainstream #Politics of #populism #nationalism & crony #capitalism — so how are they supposed to lead us through something truly challenging like a #revolution? #Marxism
I think this is a strawman. Sampath did not say this. Was quite clear that what he meant was that history writing protracted the conflict around Ayodhya and took it to impossible levels. That made resolution all the more messier. Not that it was caused by bad History writing!
Avoidable, regrettable. Whatever major ‘mental health’ point, he was getting towards, pretty sure he would not have reached there by taking this road. Choices are based not just on thinking. A lot of experience shapes that thinking. Maybe probe that to see y women feel this way
The role of the family unit for stability is vital. But a good way of strengthening that is by having a very unbiased look at the ways in which the institution limits people. More so for mental health concerns! This is assuming his point was going towards the family system.
But this is just a snapshot of what must have been a longer talk. It will be taken this way, unfortunately. The health minister has had a stellar record of public service this year and has been very successful in handling the COVID surge. Hope he isn’t reduced to just this.
His clarification is good and yes family provides a significant amount of mental health support. Loneliness is a huge killer and thinning social ties does not bode well for society. But, this shift is happening because of some reasons and that demands more attention.
I am all for promoting stronger families if it comes with the acknowledgement of where the institution is failing. That is the minimum level of empathy a discussion on mental health needs to see, if you choose to go down this road, leaving everything else that can be discussed.
Yes, he went down a very different road. I am sure this is what matters most to him when thinking of mental health. But as long as he is open to hearing experts in the field, it should be fine.

Akeel Bilgrami explores the ways in which a background of non-discursive practices that are properly describable as a “cultural commons” underlie the very possibility of law and norm in the governance of a social group.
পৃথিবী-পর্যন্ত যত আছে দেশ-গ্রাম / সর্বত্র সঞ্চার হইবেক মোর নাম //-half millenia old prophecy of Chaitanya bhagavat bloomed with the global ISKCON phenomenon,no other Hindu sect has been as successful as the Gaudiya Vaishnavas in missionary zeal,words of sadhaks indeed come true
The only way to “understand” Santana Dharma is to live it. What had once been akin to breathing to Hindus has now become a thing to “understand.”
