This flowchart of #Auroville Organizational malpractices takes a look at how they have been managing the deplorable system for 35 years.

All lovers of India need to listen and understand this sage advice from Sri Aurobindo regarding the ideal government for India:
From Translating Nietzsche to Introducing the Teachings of Sri Aurobindo: The Intellectual Journey of Xu Fancheng
What is Vedic Rit-Chit? A friend asks
Ritam is Truth manifesting, the Cosmic Law, the Right
Chit is Consciousness which is not passive but a Force, Shakti, by its very nature
Rit-Chit is Truth-Consciousness, what Sri Aurobindo calls the Supermind
It is the awareness of Unity
Ritam ऋतम is described in Veda as Satyam-Ritam-Brihat because it is one with Sat or Truth and Brihat, the Vast
In our minds we see them as different components
This whole universe is the unfolding of Sat as Ritam but if we dig deeper this Universe is always the Truth in Ritam
Ritam is not properly understood by western commentators
But to one who has experienced dhyana or meditation our consciousness is not fixed or rigid
New states of awareness are possible to all of us
Thus we can experience and be Sat or Ritam and are Sat and Ritam in our hearts
Replying to
Our normal consciousness is mental which limited, chaotic, powerless
But this mental awareness can be transformed into Rit-Chit through a radical evolution or revolution of our psychology
Rit-Chit is as far above our mind as we are above the animal-mind, said Sri Aurobindo

Sanatana Dharma and Its Future - Sri Aurobindo's Thoughts
I am glad to share that my article "Sanatana Dharma and Its Future - Sri Aurobindo's Thoughts" is published in the Volume XX No 1 of Sandhan.

I myself practice Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga.
This practice affirms that "All life is Yoga."
It aims at a "triple transformation":
-finding the soul
-uniting with the cosmic consciousness
-transforming the outer being to be an expression of spiritual Truth

This is why I take poetry seriously! Sri Aurobindo assured us that poetry was not only about old dusty books but has a great importance for future spiritual expression.

The work of Mother & Sri Aurobindo dug into the life of the cells of our body. I've also written on this (Scientific Illuminism), examining the symbiotic relationship we have with the mitochondria. The speculative nature of this remains, yet, it's a lead that should be followed.
Let's face it. Historians are no different from journalists. There are Godi historians and opposition historians. Just like weakly sourced speculation masquerades as story, weak historiography underlines mediocre history.
Replying to
Provisional models of history get shortchanged by counterfactuals and alternative narratives , and get superseded or discredited , often unjustifiably and crudely. Well meant prevarication is self serving too, just as agenda driven spin. We need to think beyond the binary .
Replying to
The language of macroeconomics can be very opaque and misleading . And the picture is always represented in big conceptual frames . The wellness of people and the reach of aid to those in distress and the general evolution of thought and intelligence needs broader categories .
Yes but words can conceal too and those adept at linguistic dissimulation do deploy it. The nature of authenticity cannot be gleaned by mere words . What is needed is expansive understanding , than susceptibility to eloquence .
True but it takes cynical wisdom to separate skill from ability. All too often we become the casualties of our own propensity to imbue with wisdom that which is merely verbally harmonious. Language is elastic and insidious But capable of distilling truth, rare as it is.
And that is rare too. Because truth is complex and undramatic , painstakingly arrived at with rigour , precisely the antithesis to the faux punditry and vapid unconsidered eloquence of discourse today. Take care .
Sometimes media narratives demonstrate an agility of improvisation even the nimblest athlete would find enviable. Who needs reality and truth when such a kaleidoscope of shifting images and faux representations circulate. The danger of too many stories scuttling harum scarum.
Replying to
Certainly the media's reportage in the mainstream west has been ludicrous , a blend of the wishful and the untenably fantasist but i would agree the picture is more complex. There's more happening within Russia and many layers we never hear of because it is mediated .
Sri Aurobindo has put immense value and faith on poetry. Obviously, he was impressed by the Veda, Upanishads, and epics apart from Sanskrit and European poems. He has used it for catching higher inspiration in terms of content and imagination. Savitri is the mantra of immortality
Sri Aurobindo is likely to be remain buried as just one of the freedom fighters. His contribution towards spirituality has not much use either. It's only in the philosophical domain that he stands out. But the Western favourites like Whitehead, Steiner, Jung, and Gebser dominate.
Both The Mother & Sri Aurobindo searched for systems, practiced various methods, and experimented with many occult tools. But, finally, they recommended surrender as the safest route. Worshipping them assures evolutionary progress without the burden of outdated religious rituals.
Skills and hierarchies valued at the outer level are not the same for which the inner person has consented to be in the team. The inner person has a neutral attitude as to whether it is the master or the slave.

Instead of blaming the social, political, or economic system, it's more appropriate to see ignorance and falsehood as the cause of conflict and suffering. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, therefore, stress on change of consciousness for facilitating the march of evolutionary progress.
Some assume that engineers are more qualified and capable for resolving the problems of the world than people from other disciplines. In the absence of verified data such a claim can't be relied upon. Further only Sri Aurobindo has the key to establishment of a harmonious society
The narrative war launched by Sri Aurobindo in 1893 continues after 130 years. This proves how disseminating the right world-view is important in the face of commerce and agenda driven media. The philosophy of The Life Divine and the prophecy of Savitri need to be repeated daily.

Auroville is run by the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. Their website is quite informative. So, your apprehensions are unfounded.
Exclusive allegiance to Sri Aurobindo is rare as a result of which intellectuals in India are a confused lot. Matters of career and comfort push people to seek official favours and hence ideology gets compromised. But the evolutionary inevitability will, definitely, have its way.
It's not very difficult to believe in the theory that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo defeated Hitler and made the British to leave India regardless of the events recorded in the history books. As the one Supreme Divine they are in charge of the future evolution as per the #FiveDreams
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were able to bring out a monthly philosophical magazine called Arya in 1914 with their own efforts the contents of which continue to stir minds and challenge various academic theories. Universities are yet to accommodate these futuristic pronouncements.
Sri Aurobindo's association with Subramania Bharati in Puducherry proved to be very productive in terms of symbolic interpretation of the Veda. The supreme status of the Veda as the science of consciousness was restored by dethroning the Upanishads and delegitimising the rituals.
