My views moulded initially by Aurobindo and more recently by my own work, the work of and Rupa Bhaty lead me to believe that Vedas have originated as primal sounds and would date back more than 15000 years
Celebrating the seventy fifth year of Indian Democracy is a signal moment in the history of human civilisation in spite of the prevalence of multiple dynasties preventing its full blossoming. Sri Aurobindo's Five Dreams broadcast on August 14, 1947 has far reaching possibilities.
The past has seen sponsored distortions and critical analysis of present exaggerations is welcome. Truth and facts need to be established.

Dr. V. Ananda Reddy spoke in the webinar on human unity with exquisite clarity and a magisterial authority. Deep insights expressed in a matter of fact manner. Shows how study is important to understand Sri Aurobindo without the compulsion of justifying any extraneous narrative.
