One of the times I WISH I were in Delhi. I am currently reading Prof. BN Goswamy's book and haven't stopped raving about it to anyone who will listen. If you're lucky enough to be in Delhi on that day, do attend. It should be good. https://t.co/mgQzBZC2iT

It is said that great seers such as Mataṅga and Bharata, are the founders and propagators of the science of music and dance.

Training in arts strengthens the mind through refinement and the intellect acquires a refined strengthening through the knowledge of śāstras (roughly translated as ‘sciences’).

Didarganj Yakshi - the epitome of beauty ever seen. Carved out of a single stone, the polish & glow on her face is yet unblemished. 2nd to 3rd Cent, BC. Maurya empire. Awe jaw dropping rich heritage & our accumulated cultural pride at new #Bihar musuem. Must visit when in #Patna. https://t.co/TJn8FazMSy

'Will these self-proclaimed custodians of ‘Odia culture’ declare that Santha Kabi Bhima Bhoi is not a part of their version of Odisha’s culture?' See how lies are spread to outsiders? Trying to create a rift between Western and coastal Odisha https://t.co/1tQwey5OaA

If the current BJP government in Delhi, flush with money in a rapidly growing economy, doesn’t fund Indian language textbooks at the university level (for the subjects that students want to study - which fetch good jobs), we can hold it responsible for killing Indian languages.

There are no Marxists left in Andhra. However the conversion industry is thriving. In fact, wherever one sees a foreigner in Andhra, people assume that the person is a missionary. People have mistaken my wife for this several times, and even myself for a priest in the church!

The horror of independent India is that it has been far more vicious than the colonial state itself, in how native languages and religions are harassed, and ultimately finished off.
Sardar Patel may have had good intentions in unifying India. But the results are not all good.

The federal government systematically destroyed all Indian language universities. The Sanskrit colleges, which served as the core of local universities and supplied scientific vocabulary for all Indian languages, were funded by the princely states. They had their funds dried up.

To continue on @virsanghvi's point on Indian food & multiculturalism, I think as a nation we resemble the bhelpuri. The ingredients are still distinct & separable, but they rub off each other, to create something else, altogether a better whole https://t.co/d33EqgGx1V

How @PiyushGoyal or anyone else chooses to pray is entirely their business. Fine if he chooses to recite the kalma as part of his personal practice, and equally fine if does not. If anything, it’s deeply Hindu not to be rigid about such matters. https://t.co/Ktzak7sYNK

Anyone who truly wants to understand Islam and the Islamic world needs to read The Tragedy of Islam. Tawhidi does not hate Islam or Muslims but he catalogs an endless cycle of wrongdoing back to the first Caliphs and shows the radical Islamist injustice that we see today

Natural selection is a small sliver of the bigger picture. Observe it in Goethean mode.
Sri Aurobindo: "Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature."

"Man is not a passive onlooker in relation to evolution, merely repeating in mental pictures cosmic events taking place without his participation; he is the active co-creator of the world-process, and cognition is the most perfect link in the organism of the universe." R. Steiner

In gratitude to this pioneering patriot, our history books must stop calling Lokmanya Tilak, Sri Aurobindo, Lala Lajpat Rai etc the leaders of the “Extremists” (a term the Brit imperialists coined). In 1905-07, they were called Nationalists, while Brit-loyalists were “Moderates”. https://t.co/X9DNJRSS1o

Secularism is always positive. Politicians as a tribe are evil n power mongering. Secularism and nationalism are mere tools for them to divide and rule.
Twitter will not teach you Vedas. You can get and introduction by picking up a (freely downloadable) copy of Sri Aurobindo's "Secret of the Vedas"

Veda is a book of inner knowledge, not faith. Shruti is not a scripture but a mantric presentation of the higher knowledge. Shastra is a guide to gaining direct knowledge not a prescription of beliefs. Vedas deal with Universal Consciousness, not any mere theology.

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.

Despite the risk of being accused as egoistic and ambitious, those aware of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo must ensure to reiterate their intellectual supremacy. Exhibiting false humility before other domain experts would be a colossal loss as far as Evolutionary agenda is concerned.
