To establish a communication with what is invisible


As The Mother's Darshan Day approaches, Dr Alok Pandey reflects on the role Sri Aurobindo and The Mother play in human history (TEXT). https://t.co/LwnRBYiyNK

This book, SRI AUROBINDO IN BARODA is a good one to understand the context of the epochal collaboration between Sri Aurobindo and Tilak; in fact Lal-Bal-Pal, which is crucial to later history, or even, what is unfolding today. https://t.co/8jXpSpsQzM @Gopanarya @SavitriEraParty

This is the most authoritative work on the Veda and connotations pertaining its deities. Please read online, if you haven't yet. There are two allied volumes too. https://t.co/d5hC8EouO1 #SriAurobindo @TrueIndology @Gopanarya

If I may add, Arya, this is a topic where grave misinformation, nay even wild & crude theories have been circulated by even reputed scholars. Hence there is an urgent need to set the record straight. A few months back, I lamented to Sri @blog_supplement how, in the 1930s, even a ...
In short, it seems that even some of the earlier generation of scholars (on whom we ideally we shud have had much more trust) have fared miserably in providing a satisfactory explanation to the Q raised above. So, anything u both write on the subject will certainly offer insights

@AvinashhMishraa - thanks. I did NOT attack personally. Stuck to ISSUES not personalities. Merely asked for logic/plan to support his proposal to de-nuclearize Pak-China. What an immature response hitting out so foolishly. I still respect his legal work. @arvindneela @jsaideepak https://t.co/h50bVYMzxs

Engaging with current affairs on Twitter is like preparing for competitive exams. To see it as moulding of public opinion or a sign of participative Democracy is farfetched. The reason is, reason is at a discount and spirit of propaganda in adolescent's zeal finds full expression

India is a Democracy comprising of people belonging to divergent religions like Hindus and Muslims. Any section claiming superiority or special considerations on religious grounds is anomalous. Those highlighting religious identity for political mobilisation are on the wrong side

Function of religion is "to establish a communication with what is invisible" and all outward paraphernalia are merely an aid. Those who seek to reverse this principle to gather votes won't reap dividends for ever but would do irreparable damage to both Democracy and the religion

55. They would denounce the spirituality of ancient Indian culture, propagated by Tilak and Aurobindo, as a means of keeping the masses in ignorance and poverty. (Thus they spake for the 'middle class'!)

I once heard another MIT professor, Rodney Brooks, describe it in a colorful manner after his talk about predicting people's motion in crowds. (Please excuse my memory and rephrasing)
"So you say humans are like sheep?"
"Yes, they are like that 90% of the time, very predictable."

This brilliant thread tells the history but can't locate the invisible hand of Sri Aurobindo who later wrote [We welcome it all the more because it seems to be conceived in the same free and synthetic spirit as animates this Review. -Arya Aug 1914]. Tilak spoke about him in jail. https://t.co/MSOJX2pOP9

At last on Falgun Vadya 30th, 1911 the draft was ready! In a superhuman effort, Tilak had spanned the whole vast ground of Hindu philosophy & come up with a novel & unprecedented thesis in just 5 months! Whn we see d sheer size of the book, his achievement is just awe inspiring!
