This is a movie about a colossal triumph

#Satprem https://t.co/1T0kAIQ4I1 A beautiful poem by @kalisbrood to Satprem - the one who continued #SriAurobindo & Mother's Work, dug into the body of the Earth, hewed the path and showed the way for those who want to throw themselves integrally into that Fire - the Vedic Agni.

My heartfelt gratitude to you Raghu bhai..very few who feel anything for Satprem..without his Notebooks...the next step would be an impossibility to figure...because he did that work, many know the steps involved...each of us need to carry this forward and record for future.

What a stupendous understanding Satprem had 😍 and imagine people block him!!!

Yes, Sri Aurobindo is the Crown Jewel of India whose brilliance eclipses all else. Even Modi's own party emerges from Sri Aurobindo like Ganga from Shiva's locks. SPM was directly & openly a follower of Sri Aurobindo. He is far beyond the comprehension of self-promoting salesmen.

Let's hope. Most high class scholars of Sri Aurobindo live outside Pondicherry. Only a few like Deshpandeji  @Sampadananda , @drsbasu2115 n a few others are doing excellent work frm inside. Frog in the well vision! People laugh at their fake devotion!
The bigger world is interested with Sri Aurobindo the  writer. They laugh at a piece which floats in d Ganges of devotion! Too much of devotion n too little care for balanced writing! Sadhana is a different issue, not related to balanced scholarship which the bigger world wants.
It is either Peter Mud-slinging at Sri Aurobindo or the fake devotion in bad English n their mighty egos in blocking talented writers on Sri Aurobindo . Awful scene now in the Pilgrim soil !

That's a great statement.  In West Bengal they don't recognise him officially.
Leftists hiding behind TMC. They abuse Sri Aurobindo.

Self-conquest is the very law of the Aryan culture. Attainment of Self-perfection, indeed, is the aim of that Self-conquest. The Self-perfected Arya is Arhat. What a profound meaning of the word Arya explained by Sri Aurobindo!
https://twitter.com/Sampadananda/status/1163031234039046144?s=19

Freedom has negative connotations; freedom from some original bondage, tyranny, or subservience. So achieving freedom is supposed to be a struggle and constant striving. One possible meaning of All life is yoga is this. Sri Aurobindo chose the word Arya to convey this imperative.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1162958660751904770?s=19
Traditional stress on tapasya however has less relevance in Integral Yoga. Sri Aurobindo would go with the Vedic notion of Freedom being the original, pre-existing state where one must aspire to arrive. Whether aspiration can be seen as striving or imposing restrictions is iffy.

Bollywood has really upped it's game in term of content. Uri and now Batla House. Another excellent movie in terms of pushing the envelope on themes

But #MissionMangal failed in following the template of #Parmanu.
Too must of unwanted family drama, overtly humorous role of Akshay Kumar and missed hitting the nail on head by not emphasising on MOM.
Had they followed the #Parmanu template it would have been better.

Please go to the film. It doesn't make you a traitor to Hinduism. These people aren't giving you those aspects of the film that counter balance what they tout. And I think it's not fair to say it 
This movie is s triumph of human will and intelligence and woman power.

1.allegations are exaggerated and disproportionate
2. Therefore one can claim that all points of view prevail 
3. All comments of strident nature based on opinions of others is daft 
4. All comments based on comments of others who have not seen trying on those who have Is Idiocy

You see I would never do anything fundamentally insulting or contradictory to my value system. 
We have to nuance. This is a movie about a colossal triumph 
So one should nuance.

Agree with you absolutely. You've to be blind and with blinkers to fish only "Hindu bashing" from the story and bypass everything else.

In fact it's a great motivational movie, and there's only so much you can show in 2 hours or so.I honestly don't see anything in it other than positivity, a capacity of us Indians to achieve the impossible and a pride in ISRO's achievements.Difficult to be negative about this one

Critical edition of Mahabharata says Krishna did NOT rescue Draupadi and Critical edition of the Ramayana says that Laxman did NOT draw the Lakshman Rekha. Are these facts ? Male ‘Brahmin’ Sanskrit ‘scholars’ please explain

The Brahmin gangs controls RSS and it has been always against reservations for Dalits, indigenous community & backward classes. NRIs lobbying RSS to remove reservations as well & it might go like they took away Article 370! https://t.co/4BeuSPj0gx

Why the "Black Sun" symbol of neo-reactionaries is the same as Blake's "dark Satanic Mill" of "Single Vision", and why it's important to understand Blake's meaning:

There's been some discussion of the prevalence of the "Black Sun" or Sonnenrad symbol among neo-reactionary groups or gangs. I've written up something briefly about that and Shadow psychology https://t.co/Hlf6NPnBRv
