AUROVILLE : A FAILURE “You no longer knew where you stand; there is Sri Aurobindo Society, Sri Aurobindo Action, and Sri Aurobindo this and that…. The result is dispersion. Yes but when you tell them that especially if you put it that way to Navjatha of Sri Aurobindo Society he will say all right, Sri Aurobindo Action had to go… Each one says I am the one who should stay... That is no solution. You have hit the point; lack of unity is the cause of all difficulties. Even the ashram has been contaminated by the disease; each department considers itself a separate entity. And since there is no more cohesion, nothing works. That is the situation. [Mothers Agenda volume 13 page 84] ...

Ganjam District Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Workers' Conference at Berhampur, Odisha

Sri Aurobindo himself experienced this phenomenon and lamented that while Indian Muslims had the advantage of a Pan-national identity and could look beyond India’s shores for both political and spiritual succor and inspiration, the Hindus knew only the Indian nation as its motherland and holyland and could not afford its vivisection at any cost... Syed Ahmed emerges as a crypto Islamic fundamentalist because his intention was to utilize the influence of the British civilization to emerge stronger against the Hindu. When the time would come for the British to leave, the Muslims buoyed with their new found strength would run riot against the deprecated Hindus and elevate themselves to lordship again, just like the good old days. Almost an entirely antithetical position is found in his contemporary Bankim Chandra’s writings. In the Anandamatha after the Hindus have decimated the decadent Muslims, the Hindus surrender against the British. For the British in India represents a necessary intervention in history, from whom Hindus must imbibe and learn in order to purge Hinduism of its accumulated evil tendencies over the ages which were responsible for their backwardness while restoring the Hindu religion to its pristine and original glory. Both Syed Ahmed and Bankim understood the British to be the vital force for modernization of their respective religious communities in order to script a decisive victory in the not so distant future against their eternal foe.

PRESENTS
Koi Sunta Hai!
A travelling festival of Kabir
AUGUST 15 – 17, 2008.
AT
SRI AUROBINDO AUDITORIUM
AUROVILLE
"Someone is listening! A guru, a wise one!" sang Kabir, 600 years ago.
Since then countless people have been listening to this 15th century mystic poet’s
words and sharing them with others.
And yet, do we really listen?
Do we make the connect between Kabir’s words and our lives,
our day-to-day acts, the social, spiritual and political choices
in which we’re all enmeshed?
This festival is an opportunity, possibly,
for immersion, provocation,
reflection, revelation.

AUG 15th PONDICHERRY SRI AUROBINDO's BIRTHDAY By shivy27. As We All Remember Aug 15 Independence Day, It Is Also Birth Day Of Sri Aurobindo, Freedom Fighter, Yogi. Celebrated World Over By His Devotees.. And In Sri Aurobindo Ashram At Pondicherry It Is Celebrated In A Grand Manner. ... IndusLadies - http://www.IndusLadies.com/forums

Sri Aurobindo as a practitioner of poetry, as a professional, does it with utmost ease, with the technique at his full command. Truth-substance and Truth-rhythm and Truth-vision have found a perfect poetic form and poetic medium to pour themselves out in great abundances. The foot-modulation moves with the suppleness that is demanded by the inspiration in its rushing swiftness. Re: The Word: Two Poems—An example from Savitri

Nuapada District Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Workers' Conference, Odisha

The Matrimandir: There was a strange echoey quiet. The only light source was a sharp shaft of light piercing down from the top of the sphere, into a crystal sphere in the centre of the room, after which it proceeded down through the bottom of the structure to the ground. Meditation spots were spaciously arranged. Cylindrical pillars stretched up into the spherical space.
Sorry, you'll never get the feel of the place from this description, but it was totally INTENSE. Everything was so meticulously arranged and so pristine. I was afraid to sit down. Never before have i ever been in such a powerful architectural space before. This place really inspired a sense of awe and perfection.
The closest thing i've seen might be Daniel Libeskind's Holocaust Tower. That was also quite powerful, but a lot more depressing. Therefore, i vote for Matrimandir.

Balangir District Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Workers' Conference, Odisha

The Lives of Sri Aurobindo: Some devotees of Sri Aurobindo might be put off by Peter’s academic tone in this biography. After all, he never calls Sri Aurobindo an “avatar” or anything like that in it. Indeed, Peter paints Sri Aurobindo as humanly as he possibly can in this biography (which was partly because he wanted a university publisher in order to reach a wider audience, and partly because that’s his style — to be measured and detached)...
