14 Aug 2023 — Mirra Alfassa, or the Mother, was the most important person in Sri Aurobindo's life, and carried forward his work following his death.

For some reason, I've lately been thinking of my friend Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (1909-1999), the single most intelligent and learned man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He would say with complete confidence that democracy was a brief parenthesis of history, doomed to the dustbin, because it would evolve into a technocratic tyranny that served no one but the elites, to be replaced by a return to a popular monarchism or a complete dismantlement of what we currently call the nation-state. I recall thinking that he was surely wrong.

Democracy is unnatural because equality is unnatural. It is myopic because the maximum vision of a democratic government is not beyond 5 years as that is its tenure. It is also the weakest form of government for obvious reasons. More importantly, democracy is self-destructive of its people and civilisations. Democratic Europe inexorably becoming Eurabia negating its Christian civilisation, and Democratic Hindu India self-declaring as Secular India only to quickly become Anti-Hindu negating its ancient Hindu civilisation are the live and prime examples of democratic self-destruction. On the contrary, the people of the countries/civilisation namely, Islamic countries, that are not democratic or only nominally democratic are growing to dominate the world. Therefore, with a hindsight monarchy was not as bad as it was propagandised. Transforming democracy into monarchy may probably help save the battered European and Hindu civilisations.

So, your late friend was right.

The "equality" part of democracy is ONLY supposed to be under law.. there too India has miserably failed.. with a desperate attempt to make those w/o talent or skills somehow equal to those with having it.. India is a brainless stupid system.. thats all.. x.com/MNageswarRaoIP

Filthy pieces of shit, not content with raping and murdering Hindus and destroying temples, they have to take it out on animals as well. All they know is cruelty. Notice no global news, no street marches, no UN protests, no ICJ, just standard UN & leftist hypocrisy

Those of us who don’t turn a blind eye to targeting of minorities in India cannot and must not turn a blind eye to targeting  of minorities in Bangladesh. This report is scary and a shameful reflection on the state of affairs in Bangladesh currently.

From being the first politically organised (in the modern sense of the term) Indic ethnic group in colonial India (largely a legacy of Rammohun Roy, Devendranath Tagore, Nabagopal Mitra, Rajnarayan Bose, Bankim Chatterjee, Surendranath Banerjee, and Anandamohan Bose) to becoming the most dispersed, disunited and vulnerable ethnic Indic group in the Indian subcontinent today -- we Bengalis have fallen way too low and hard. And more than an intellectual failure, it is a moral failure. We've lost our moral fibre. We lost respect for each other, and started seeing each other as mere competitors. We supplanted our God, our Para-Brahma -- who we used to worship in the manifold manifestations of deities like Bhagabati Durga/Kali, Sri Hari/Narayan, and Baba Bholanath/Mahadeb -- by a blind worship of rank materialism.

If we are to have any hope of recovering as a community from this abyss, we should acknowledge this catastrophic moral failure on our part as a community and as individuals, and start making amends, now. We must identify & revivify our cherished ideas and ideals, both traditional and modern ones; we must invoke the favour and grace of our God through our beloved deities; and we must start organising ourselves, socially and politically, around these anchors. Now.
