Vedic Dhyana Rig Veda 1.7.3

इन्द्रो॑ दी॒र्घाय॒ चक्ष॑स॒ आ सूर्यं॑ रोहयद्दि॒वि । वि गोभि॒रद्रि॑मैरयत् ॥

(“Indra for far vision raises the Sun in heaven; by his rays he burst the hill.” Translated by TV Kapali Sastry)

This is an intriguing rik but if we understand it we clear up a lot of confusion. 

If you remember, Indra is our Luminous Mind, as Sri Aurobindo pointed out. Surya is the symbol of Sacchidananda

So how does Indra raise the Sun? That makes no sense, does it? It is when Indra reaches the height of his power or the buddhi is fully awake and vijnanamaya that the Sun or The Sacchidananda manifests. This is very simple and clear

Until the buddhi is enlightened the Brahman will not fully rise and appear on the horizon of consciousness. A very powerful understanding that, in our rush to experience the Brahman, we often forget. Indra is not superior to Surya. He is the intermediate stage

It is not possible to understand the situation today without knowing the history of Auroville's legal situation, and how the same faction that wants to own Auroville already back then was fighting to rule Auroville as their property. In this first short video, we look at how and why Mother created Auroville with the Sri Aurobindo Society as its administration.

Socialist Jay Prakash Narayan wanted cultural regeneration of India and for this purpose he called upon Sri Aurobindo and Raman Maharshi to leave their secluded world of hermitage and lead the campaign. Would Nehru have approved? Not likely. Soon JP will resign from the party.

My op-ed in #theindianexpress on Vande Mataram today. India is not a territory. It is an ancient civilisation whom Bankim gave a form: Mother. Rather than quarrel over her iconography and amputate the stanzas that describe her, let us love her and relate to her. Then the question changes from “What can she give me?” to “What can I give her?”

Most religions catch hold of certain aspects of the Divine to suit a particular penchant of the human mind. They may show a remarkable intensity engendered by the stress and the limit under which they work, but immensity gets sacrificed. Hinduism aspires to mingle the immense with the intense and, though the fusion is not always complete and there is a preponderance one way or the other, it succeeds in carrying both in some sort of alliance and in keeping the path open for some future fusion. Not dominantly the logic of the dividing intellect under the Spirit’s inspiration but a spiritually inspired intuitive logic which welcomes divisions only to unify them and which tends secretly towards some novel integral harmony of the utmost unity with the utmost multiplicity – this is the motive power behind the millennial quest of the Absolute which began with the Vedic rishis. Infinite vistas stretch out to be explored, startling possibilities of evolution remain to be compassed – essential Hinduism has its doors flung wide to ever-new surprises of the inexhaustible will of the single yet manifold Being who is the ultimate reality. It is through these doors that the soul of man will pass into a future of supreme fullness.

“In his attempt to establish the identity of Hinduism and its importance for the modern world, Aurobindo does not advocate a return to earlier phases of its history, nor does he merely assert its timeless validity. Instead, he tries to provide it with a new sense of vitality and change, with a new, or at least revived, openness for questions and experiments. 

If this is a restoration or return, then it is, according to Aurobindo, a return to the sources of experience themselves, from which Hinduism won its former creative power and autonomy and which alone can open it new perspectives for the future. Not only should this potential of experience be asserted, it should be manifested and activated in the practice of inner experimentation, i.e. the exploration of the dynamics of awareness, and thus become a part of the actuality of the modern world. 

Such an experimenting with consciousness, understood as a renewal and actualization of the Hindu tradition, would also take up and neutralize the challenges posed by the experimental natural sciences and technological achievements of the West. In a sense, Aurobindo tried to revive and concretize the ancient ideal of the ṛṣi for the modern world.

In spite of the inclusivistic statements made during his youth, Aurobindo does not accept the presumption that “true Hinduism” has already anticipated all future developments. He develops a new sense for the temporal and historical, for the human and social shaping of the Divine. In this regard, he does not agree with other Neo-Hindu thinkers. 

In contrast to Vivekananda, he is greatly influenced by the nineteenth-century Western evolutionists, and the historical perspective of Hegel and some of his followers is an important element in his thought. He does not accept the timeless presence of the Absolute in the sense of Śaṅkara; in his eyes, the Absolute manifests itself in the historical development of man and the world. Here, the Western ideas of evolution and “progress” attain a new and peculiar significance. 

On the other hand, the increasing secularization, objectification and externalization of the natural and the social world which has accompanied the sciences in the West should be supplemented, fulfilled, and ultimately superseded by developments and discoveries in the spiritual realm, in the inner reality of the self.

We do not need to go into details concerning the special and sometimes highly speculative theories and methods which Aurobindo developed in this context.

What is particularly noteworthy is that the ascent to new stages and dimensions of consciousness, the thrust into the “supramental” etc., is presented as a concrete historical task not limited to the inner world of the individual but involving the cosmos and mankind as well. Aurobindo is convinced that the spiritual realities can be made manifest in the actual, current world, and that in this process Hinduism can prove its concrete historical potential. Like few other modern Hindu thinkers, Aurobindo exerts himself to develop a new and authentic approach to his own tradition; and it is in precisely this way that he responds to and acknowledges the European challenge.”
