Oppose casteist orthodoxy

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Sri Aurobindo's philosophy wraps around yoga like software around code, turning spiritual practice into an integrated development environment.

Sri Aurobindo's approach was better. Savarkar was a brilliant thinker and sacrificed a lot for India, but that doesn't mean every single thing he said was perfect- would be an unfair bar to judge anyone by.

There are two schools.One which believes world is Maya and one has to escape from it by Moksha.Second school is world is evolving and soul is voluntarily here by Lila of the Divine.Moksha is not the goal but endless evolution.Sri Aurobindo was of the second School.

I follow Sri Aurobindo.Moksha or Liberation would not end the soul's evolution.Earlier it evolved in ignorance ..then it would evolve in Full knowledge..

Sri Aurobindo was an Indian philosopher, yogi, maharishi, poet, and Indian nationalist. 

His thoughts and ideas on education were quite reformative, the quote mentioned here is the core of role of a teacher as mentioned in NCF-05.

Tarit da's voice and Sri Aurobindo's Gayatri Mantra are synonymous to devotion and concentration for me

Year after year, generation after generation our school has heard this among other shlokas and mantras in our morning music.

Found this in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram book store. I love finding niche books that are a clear labor of love for someone. Also the photos in this one (prison mugshots essentially) are absolutely visceral. Puts a human face to ideas of Anushilan and Jugantar

Modi - "I feel I have been sent by Divine to do a work". Sri Aurobindo - "Everyone is an instrument of Divine - all are advancing His design". Modiji is right & he is sent to do a work.

I for one stand by Modiji. Like me are millions and millions. These Indians are not fools ... nobody can mislead them. Future of India is safe in the Modi's hands. Results of 2024 elections will come tomorrow.

A rishi or a yogi can never hold political power. Their dharma is different.

They can provide advice, but cannot participate.

Really, i was thinking of Sri Aurobindo!

After leaving politics, he gave advice, but never again participated.

Only if someone is of the sanctity of Rishi Janak or king Ashwapati. But alas they belong to mythology.

Parliamentary democracy is a Failed System. Fasicm / Constitutional Monarchy is the right way of Life's governance. Ref - Mother India by Sri Aurobindo

Italian & Irish revolutions inspired all leaders of Indian freedom movement. Before Savarkar, Sri Aurobindo has written about Irish and Italian freedom movement (not all literature available now) and it strongly influenced the armed resistance groups before SC Bose started INA.

The real vedantic elites are those following Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo, studying Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhava, Ramakrishna and Sri Aurobindo in a syncretic way, and they are caste agnostic. Traditional adherents are living in outdated echo chambers and have been far surpassed.

Georges Van Vrekham has written a well researched book on it based on the revelations of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

There is a prediction of Sri Aurobindo that "...Yogins like Janaka, Ajatashatru and Kartavirya once more sit on the thrones of the world and govern the nations." Who knows! Modi very well might be one such yogi ruler.

As our PM chose to highlight and honour Swami Vivekananda in the capstone of his bid for a third straight majority, which he is likely to get - and a campaign in which the opposition tried its very best to divide Hindus on caste - it is important to emphasise that the great Swami (like Aurobindo or Savarkar or Ambedkar or most great souls of the time) opposed casteist orthodoxy. Modern India owes much to this opposition. The winning coalition of today - which got us the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, and more to come - is first and foremost thanks to these reformists.

The caste orthodoxy understands this opposition very well. Look at this video, which in parts is admittedly tragicomic. There is no middle ground between these positions.

The problem with these trads similar to Lefties selectively take what they want of Vivekananda or Sri Aurobindo writings . They are quite shameless that way!

True and quite surprising

1870-1950 was filled with absolute god tier legends in general 

Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Savarkar, Bose ,Tilak, Rash Bihari Bose, Patel

May be also because congis under Gandhis never let anyone with potential and pro Hs bent of mind rise?

@gasumeet ji this is probably a great place to start our investigations of mahabhutas and tridoshas.. SA’s corpus.. it contains highly condensed info on literally everything under the sun

Experience the awe-inspiring ascent of India, not merely for self-gain, but to show the way towards a necessary Human Unity. Listen to the words of Sri Aurobindo read by Nilima Bhat, initiator of ShaktiKumbh.  #india #digitalindia #bharat #rise #personaldevelopement #shaktikumbh

The left will keep using Swami Vivekananda as long as Hinduism is defined as a progressive religion and Swamiji, it's all in all authority (in a way He's so) and this fight the left will win ultimately. It is in the interest of progressive Hindutvites that they start reverting their gaze back to the Orthodox Ācāryas. In such a discourse the right leaning image of SV too will find a place where He criticises the Abrahmics, upholds Advaita superiority, so on and so forth. When the opponents up the ante, retaliate by upping yours not succumbing to it.

True. Temporary only but they have more success with SV than we have with BRA. Because in both the issues they have more grip than us.

Post RKM. People misimagine that RKM took Hindus away from traditional leaning. But it didn't. They worked hard with population with no affiliation and among the newly educated class. This is where they base is. They created a new base and much pervasive one.

He was an icon of Hindutva. Like Hindutva, He too was a product of His time. There are useful similarity in His message with orthodox Hinduism but that would have merited when orthodoxy is to be recognised. In a constantly progressive discourse only a rebellious SJW will emerge.

I am speaking about His messages. The modern Advaita set up is not limited to RKM. There are many such orgs and they weild considerable significance. They had no RSS backing. They have worked hard for it. And it all goes back to Swamiji.

When exactly do you think Swami Ji gained relevance among Hindus (masses)? In the early 1900s. In fact before the 1990s, was it Swami Vivekananda style-advaita that was more famous? More widely accepted?

My family is an example. Maternal Grandfather. Heavily influenced by Sri Aurobindo and RKM. Although absolute Scripturalism is something they deviate from. I did as well.

And everyone in my family is well-read. The works of Swami Karpatri weren't some new discovery for us.

On 2 June 1908, Sri Aurobindo, a prominent freedom fighter, was arrested in the Manik Tala Bomb explosion case. His fearless pursuit of independence for India inspired many during the fight against colonial rule. #SriAurobindo #FreedomFighter

Then we must continue to buy more and more of Vikram Sampath, Bibek Debroy, Gautam Chikremane, Sanjeev Sanyal and various other authors books and revise books of Sri Aurobindo, Sita Ram Goel, Ramswaroopji, Veer Savarkar.

First learnt about Maruts from Sri Aurobindo's writing. And I instantly felt Ardra nakshatra's deity has to be Marut even though all astrological writings say it's Rudra. Although they are of same nature but not the same.

Better to surgically re-attach a limb that was bloodily cut off if possible. Best to abide unquestioningly by Mother and Sri Aurobindo's guidance.

Sage advice from Sri Aurobindo on how to see the world (and facts) correctly.

The speaker seems to be (I am not 100% sure) Sri Babaji Maharaj of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Thanks for sharing the image. You can also add some information on it.

To understand Sri Aurobindo one needs to develop many sided plasticity of mind & intellect which can hardly be expected from a  person who is apt in journalistic pugilism.
