Preponderances are a pointer to purity


  1. @onlyskr : I will search. It was the unabridged speech on Independence Day. Change from 2013 not in.
  2. [What's the quintessence of human coupling – desire, fear, need or just habit? Is love a hormonal reflex or fantasy?] http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=29466 …
  4. I am a huge admirer of Prof. Rajat Kumar Kar.Gives wonderful insight about Jagannath Darshan,Odia History and Mythology in lucid manner.#otv
  6. there are extensive annotations of Sri Aurobindo's writings available at http://www.aurobindo.net  http://fb.me/2wRAGPPlQ 
  7. @SavitriEraParty Btw, have been reading about Aurobindo. Very interesting. Need to read more. @SKS_Mumbai
  9. @SKS_Mumbai [give to our heart and mind a titan’s strength, a titan’s energy, to our soul and intelligence a god’s character and knowledge]
  10. @SavitriEraParty I will try to do that. Thank you.
  11. @gowryrowdy I'd request you to go through a few works of Sri Aurobindo so that you can tweet in future on relatively firm grounds. Thanks.
  12. @gowryrowdy The "if" and "I think" obviously lack ontological spine.
  13. @gowryrowdy Now the semantics: difficult to distinguish between "the best" and "the purest."
  14. Many insist on the single theory that plurality persists for ever thus giving monism a boost. All our preponderances are a pointer to purity
  15. @gowryrowdy Evolution is not an end in itself nor does it guarantee peace. Purity, in its pure sense, is the aim of all worldly strivings.
  16. @gowryrowdy "Natural state" is neither static nor final as Evolution and change are a constant. Yearning for "purity" is rather primordial.
  17. Have tried to read variety of philosophers n philanthropists works but cant help as i keep coming back to Sri Aurobindo. True Master !!!
  19. @hguptapolicy No either/or compulsion in a multi-party democracy. Ideology, even if not much known, should matter for intellectuals who care
  20. @jitengajaria But sir, IMHO, u need both, paan shop n dimaag shop.. this anti-intellectualism has cost Parivaar dearly...
  21. @sachinsvk Not to take that apparent chaos for granted is the task by which we lend volitional power & conscious collaboration to Evolution.
  22. @HumanAtom i dont think he is more true than swami vivekananda and sri aurobindo
  23. EMPHASIS (Enhancing Mobile Population’s Access to HIV/AIDS, Services, Information and Support) Sreeparna Chakrabarty http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=32265 …
  24. .@viraajm First read Bastiat, then Friedman, then Hayek, and if you have infinite time, then read Mises. Make sure you read Arun Shourie too
  25. @AmareshMisra Continuance of RSS and its distributaries are responsible for repulsion of people from the BJP thus safeguarding the Dynasty.
  26. There is no other way of being aware about the ongoing Evolution than persuading our own self about it like the double movement of the Earth
  27. Pining for relics of the past instead of being attuned to the possibilities under active fermentation is obviously an anachronistic tendency

A doctor's frank impressions of The Mother « Vamanan's Sight by vamanan81
One of the very interesting publications I have read on the Mother (whose birth anniversary falls on Feb. 21, today) is by Dr. D.B. Bisht, a former department head of JIPMER and Director General of Health Services.
His ‘Mother and Me’ is a booklet of 48 pages, but brims with rare insights into the personality of the Mother. Dr. Bisht is a doctor and a level-headed man of a scientific disposition. He has even treated the Mother medically. His views are therefore very valuable. He reveals, for example, that he has had a fascination for owls but kept it under wraps because the bird was considered to be unlucky by some. He experienced a great relief when the Mother revealed that she too shared his enthusiasm for owls!  
Dr. Bisht found out early, even before he began to treat the Mother, that her heart beat irregularly… Sri Aurobindo and the Mother spoke of a divine life in a divine body, but it was the doctor's job to point out to Mother that her physical body was more than showing the signs of aging. ''The only way to delay this degenerative process is to ...

Goal of liberation can be reached within everyday life

Philosophy as Spiritual Ordeal from Pagan Metaphysics by Paul Reid-Bowen
I would strongly suggest that you consider looking at Joshua Ramey’s new book The Hermetic Deleuze… While a lot of my earlier years were spent reading esotericism, gnosticism, hermeticism and occultism, I have been incrementally distancing my philosophical self from such potential contaminants to reason for twenty years now. And this is despite teaching both philosophy and contemporary incarnations of such esoteric traditions at university. I only started to forcefully question the viability and value of this bracketing quite recently: Posted by Paul Reid-Bowen at 13:38
Ashis Nandy and the Cultural Politics of Selfhood - Christine Deftereos - gives the reader an insight into a novel aspect of Nandy. The author insists that Ashis Nandy is not merely a self-described political psychologist; he is also an intellectual street fighter who comes face to face with the psychology of politics and the politics of psychology, thus affirming why this intellectual is one of the most original and confronting Indian thinkers of his generation. The main features of this book are its original reading and the authentic use of the psychoanalytic theory to characterise and demonstrate the importance of psychoanalysis in Nandy's work. Read More...
Mind and Cosmos:  Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False - Amazon.com
Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete. And the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions for evolution cannot be a merely materialist history, either. An adequate conception of nature would have to explain the appearance in the universe of materially irreducible conscious minds, as such. 
Nagel's skepticism is not based on religious belief or on a belief in any definite alternative. In Mind and Cosmos, he does suggest that if the materialist account is wrong, then principles of a different kind may also be at work in the history of nature, principles of the growth of order that are in their logical form teleological rather than mechanistic.
ABA Journal - Feb 1962 - Page 155 Vol. 48, No. 2 - Magazine - Full view Lawyers are now frequently called upon to make decisions in business matters, and businessmen must often decide a course of action that has distinct legal implications. by Stuart T. Saunders, President, Norfolk and Western Railway Co.
In his stimulating book, The Uses of the Past, Herbert Muller emphasizes the importance of values in these words: “Our business as rational beings is not to argue for what is going to be but to strive for what ought to be . . .” It is this pursuit of truth in the face of ultimate uncertainty that establishes the essential dignity and grandeur of man. All our hopes for the future depend upon this quest, and we, as judges, lawyers and businessmen, must see to it that human idealism remains the well-spring of our civilization.

Sri Aurobindo envisions a Supramental future

Are we facing an evolutionary crisis? The Hindu February 2, 2013 MANOJ DAS
According to Sri Aurobindo, “At present mankind is undergoing an evolutionary crisis in which is concealed a choice of its destiny; for a stage has been reached in which the human mind has achieved in certain directions an enormous development while in others it stands arrested and bewildered and can no longer find its way.” Sri Aurobindo envisions a future when the mind could be transformed into a Supramental gnosis…
To a professor who was logically convinced of Sri Aurobindo’s vision but wondered if the ugly man of today could really grow into something beautiful, a rustic school teacher told, “If a wonder like the lotus could bloom out of mud with the Sun’s Grace, why cant out of our muddy mind bloom the Supramental with the Divine’s Grace? We may replace Divine’s Grace with Evolutionary thrust, if we please.

Satprem relates that on 19 May 1973, six months before The Mother’s death he was barred admission to her room, the beginning of a serious falling out between the Ashram leadership and himself. Moreover, Satprem and his followers believe there is evidence in the recorded audiotapes that the Mother did not actually die but rather entered a “cataleptic trance” or state of suspended animation in which there would not even be a detectable heartbeat.

Savitri Era - Spinning mythology - Ashis Nandy had mauled the memory of Sri Aurobindo like a bull in a china shop which Savita Singh has now ably countered by juxtaposing the hermeneutical reading of J.L. Mehta.
