If Blaming Centre For Everything Wrong With Indian Science Is Scientific Temper, Then I’m Guilty Of Not Having It  @vraman16   https://t.co/28TbjSu2Bn via @swarajyamag

Whether it is panchagavya or Ayurgenomics, scientific investigation into these traditional knowledge systems is very essential. If Indian scientists do not do it then, when transnational firms who are constantly knowledge mining these systems, patent these very knowledge systems https://t.co/5PzcphjxXl

Don't make roads in Uttarakhand. Don't develop tourism circuits there. Don't make dams. Keep its people poor. Why? So that a crank "Right Winger" living in a metro or a foreign country gets to feel the real spirituality when he deigns to visit it.

This leitmotif of Agni running away from doing His duty is seen in several places of shruti..

The verse अग्निर्देवेभ्यो निलायत​ । occurs in a lot of place, with each one set amidst an interesting situation with an equally interesting outcome!

"Cinema has infused mediocrity into every area of public life where rhetoric is an end in itself, slogans are intellectualism and Facebook memes are research.

No wonder then that the Millennial Tamil thinks kitsch is cool and complexity is a conspiracy."

The abusive responses of minions of @Suriya_offl below indicate that his fans are just third rate rowdies with very little comprehension. Such a third rate actor with goonda fans getting limelight is a blot on TN.

Although the notice may seem racist at first glance, much of this is true. Most Indians grow up with zero civic sense in India & find it difficult to change overnight just because one has crossed borders. https://t.co/Q8lT05sc5d

In general the H-crowd at large is interested in certain figures, and is not that keen to dig deeper to learn more about other equally important figures

E.g. Sankaracharya is ofcourse a pan-Indian icon (though his origins too are in deep south)

https://twitter.com/shrikanth_krish/status/1152970986876276737?s=19

But then other Advaita figures are less well known

E.g. Madhusudana Saraswati from Bengal / Varanasi (16th cen) - few people have heard of him

So it is not a geographic thing. It's about selective valorization of certain names, and ignorance of others

Very recently through @blog_supplement I learnt about this vibrant intellectual culture in the city of Navadwip - home to so many giants - Raghunatha Shiromani, Vasudeva Sarvabhouma, Chaitanya

For the most part there is a lack of interest to learn

Even Chaitanya had to flee to Odisha. How can one expect them to go on reconversion spree on mass scale in a land ruled by Jihadis when preserving their own identity was a concern?

https://twitter.com/vajrayudha11/status/1152970143796027392?s=19

Leave reconversion spree, they had to do extensive polemic vs fellow H to defend right of Ms whom they had already made Krishna devotee to chant Harinama.

That aphorism of Sri Aurobindo on not fighting under a general who hasn’t lost a war is applicable here..failure teaches a leader to seek counsel from all sources...he does not keep opinions that are unquestionable...

There is no such thing as historical enabling in Science and technology. Great research Institutes and centres of excellence can crumble within years, even months. Ideas are the product of a human mind not sanctioned buildings.

Science doesn't live in the past. It isn't History.

I came to #sriaurobindo' jis influence in the year 1990s ;  after reading his writings on the Veda and Gita ; As I was a devotee of  Lord Krishna 's Bhagwad gita since my childhood ;  I found

#sriaurobindo ' s integral yoga  system so perfect method ;  even you may study Six Darshans of sanatan dharam;  Sri Aurobindo's Words are more revealing than even studying upanishad or gita or any other Text as we name #shastras #SundayThoughts

Indian #yoga is ancient system who helps us to find out our True Nature Hidden in our deep recesses.... Initial study of sri  aurobindo's Works  are very typical;  but once mind is bent upon his works  ; one  will not find any parallel Master, Yogi or any Path who makes one  truly Universal Personality .... #integralYoga

Overpopulation has made India ungovernable and its Democracy dysfunctional. Once the States get Sovereignty, they will solve local problems on their own; no need for Delhi megalomania dictating, nor national outlook is warranted. #MakeIndiaHistory by opting for #BharataFederation

Bande Mataram was written with Bengal in mind and it played a stellar role during Partition of Bengal (1905) movement. All the gains of Bengal Renaissance during the previous 100 years were harnessed to sow the seed of Independence of India. Bengal must become a Sovereign nation.

So called national culture is corrupting and destroying local traditions and languages.

Thanks for excellent presentation. A trivia: First Odia ICS Officer, Nilamani Senapati belongs to the Garedi Panchana village. He and Bhingarpur Choudhury family are within our circle of relatives. Our caste is Mastan (perhaps Mahasthan) Brahmins who don't perform puja (Bhumihar)

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have provided the occasion and opportunity to forget about all past icons and affinities. Their contribution in black and white surpass all colourful imaginations of human civilisation by light years. But recognising them constitutes a challenging task.
