Spirituality has no holiday, M.P. Pandit had remarked once. In a similar vein, it can be said that spirituality has no festivals. The habit of celebrations belong to the past. Savitri Era Religion doesn't encourage any special enthusiasm or exuberance to be reserved for any day. #TusarNathMohapatra

Rani Rashmoni built the Dakshineswar Kali temple for all castes and religions. This must be a very revolutionary act for her time. This is before Ramakrishna or Vivekananda come to the picture. She may be the possible inspiration for Vivekananda's social work.

The story of Odisha isn't known much. Babaji Maharaj Sri Ramakrishna Das and Prapatti (Kangali Charan Pati) started the Pathachakra movement whereby weekly Study Circles were conducted in towns and villages. This resulted in large number of devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. #TusarNathMohapatra

Hope you are aware of the controversy over various Savitri editions. Introductions by A.B. Purani and Prema Nandakumar are helpful. Quotations can be misleading as different characters are there. My suggestion is to begin from Part Two, Book Four, Canto I.

Somehow, I don't feel it proper to paste the writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo here. One can paraphrase and spur discussion. Writing long hand is a better meditative act. Using the latest edition is good where instead of IN it would be In. Whether, a few lines or few lines? #TusarNathMohapatra

Born and brought up in a village, I have lived in semi-urban, urban, and metropolitan areas in four different States. I have lived under all the Prime Ministers of India during the last seventy years. I am conversant with Odia, Bengali, Hindi, and English. #SavitriEra

My formula is not to look at the past for solutions for the future is full of possibilities. Having seen the Fall of the Berlin Wall and Dissolution of USSR, I'm hopeful that events will overtake us. Savitri Era Religion believes that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are always present #TusarNathMohapatra

The secular atmosphere promoted by Congress was a given in the first half of my life. But the second half has seen discordant rumblings of Hindutva. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have a stake in both the scenarios. Extracting that golden mean would mean tons of goodwill and sagacity #TusarNathMohapatra

My concept of the Market approximates to Sri Aurobindo's Integral Advaita. It can be called Marketime or simply Logistics, considering its dynamic nature. Thus nothing is outside the Market. Further not taking any action also amounts to action as popularised by P.V. Narasimha Rao #TusarNathMohapatra

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have probed ontological questions, but it's difficult to find any clear answer to functioning of the world or human behaviour. Savitri Era Party, therefore, doesn't find fault with the past. Savitri Era Religion worships them as the one Supreme Divine. Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Our planet is not symmetrical, and human beings don't have uniform physical features. Hence expecting that all countries should be equally developed is absurd. Since evolution is responsible for the present status, demanding a different prospect than its own plan is preposterous. #TusarNathMohapatra

History of BJP shows how Hindutva was able to grow, and the possibility of its decline along with BJP nosediving. Having observed different ideologies dominating at different points during the last Seventy years, I'm confident that the nation will be forced to ping Sri Aurobindo. #TusarNathMohapatra

Many thanks. Quite informative.

The multicultural background of The Mother remains a mystery. Why no one else recognised her except Sri Aurobindo is an enigma. This dollop of mythology is a precious possession of Savitri Era Religion. Her vision of human unity and harmony competes with some top utopian thinkers #TusarNathMohapatra

I, first, read about Nikos Kazantzakis from A Study of Savitri by Prema Nandakumar apropos his epic, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel. Later on, of course, I read his Zorba the Greek. It won't be irrelevant to mention Cornelius Castoriadis a couple of whose books I have gone through. #TusarNathMohapatra

Tusar Nath Mohapatra @savitriera.bsky.social · 4d

I,first, read about Thoreau's Walden and Melville's Moby Dick from, The Adventure of Criticism (1962) by K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar. It's an outstanding book. Amal Kiran (K.D. Sethna) also has a title called, Adventures in Criticism.

I, first, read about Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach from Nolini. Curiously, he renames the protagonist #FiveDreams

Sri Aurobindo Studies can be a subject in colleges. But Savitri Era Religion is more interested in understanding the essentials for collaboration with evolution. The first step is worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo as the one Supreme Divine and not comparing them with others. #TusarNathMohapatra

How Much Land Does a Man Need? (1886) by Leo Tolstoy remains eternally relevant. Every morning, every day, every moment, this question must occupy the mind. I had left my Bank job in 2000. But there are a hundred other attractions also. Ultimately, the trade off is for more gain! #TusarNathMohapatra

Tusar Nath Mohapatra @savitriera.bsky.social · 5d

The work of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo can't simply be evaluated from what's apparent for their occult implications are immense. Therefore, worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is necessary for deriving maximum advantage from evolutionary advance. It's Savitri Era Religion. #TusarNathMohapatra

Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams speech was broadcast over All India Radio, Tiruchirappalli a few hours before which has more significance for the future of India and the world. Needless to mention that August 15, 1947 happened to be his 75th birth anniversary #WorldUnion incarnateword.in/cwsa/36/the-...

Interesting debate is going on on Vivekananda. It's unfortunate that correct information is not available even on him. However, Savitri Era Religion is firmly against astrology, mythology, and rituals. Reading The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo can shed light on this aspect. #TusarNathMohapatra

Tusar Nath Mohapatra @savitriera.bsky.social · 5d

I might have heard of him earlier but had completely forgotten. I was stirred out of my peace yesterday when I read about Max Stirner who is known to have influenced many including Marx and Nietzsche. A significant but controversial figure who was suppressed by his contemporaries #TusarNathMohapatra

Savitri Era Party is nothing but an aspiration for giving shape to the #FiveDreams, #WorldUnion, and #TheLifeDivine. Yet I'm accused of nourishing political ambition! It's high time the devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo realised that they would have to come forward and unite #TusarNathMohapatra
