Many people, like Satyajit Ray n Suchitra Mitra, who didn't know about the Supermind, gnostic being, purnayoga, psychic being etc were admirers of Sri Aurobindo. They could see the "Lord of Language". We welcome such fans to read him:devotees or non-devotees does not matter.

The rhetoric used here by the repetition of "He" is called anaphora. Sri Aurobindo knows how to create the mantric effect with anaphoral repetitions.

P.K. De Sarkar's grammar book is a myth in Bengal. You may try that. Still available. Unparalleled for the Bengali speaking students! But yes Wren n Martin is good for Indian students who do not know Bengali.

Of all the things that have happened in India since the 2014 take over of the country by the #RSS/#BJP lot, the most far-reaching has to be the general dumbing down of public discourse, the antipathy to logic, science, scholarship, intellectual thought and diversity of opinion.
https://twitter.com/GorwayGlobal/status/1168115664378388480?s=19
Why do I say that?
Because scholarship and learning are the means of detecting a wrong, and open debate, intellectual thought and diversity of opinion are the means of correcting it. India is now in a tailspin without the means of stopping the fall.
Of all the world’s governments, China’s probably employs the fewest obfuscatory mechanisms. It doesn’t have multiparty elections. It doesn’t pretend its propaganda outlets are ‘free and independent’. It’s open about censorship. It openly has party cells in its businesses.

Obviously Maoist China employed obfuscatory mechanisms - the Cultural Revolution was a gigantic ‘grassroots movement’ manipulated from the top - but they’ve become increasingly formalist (although Xi’s corruption campaign was partly obfuscatory).

I’d rate Manmohan Singh as the third-best prime minister India has ever had. The best was Indira Gandhi and the second-best PM was Jawaharlal Nehru. I put Nehru before Singh because he was the one who infused scientific temperament in Indians and set up organizations, like Isro.

Arif Mohammad Khan has been appointed as the new Governor of Kerala. What a wonderful choice! The crusader who worked for the rights of Muslim women in India. And has contributed immensely in the political discourse in India. Hope to see him someday as the President of India.

The desire to be desired is crucial for self-esteem and how it activates hormones in a moment is the most complex mystery of social existence. Sublimation is not exactly what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo aimed at; Transformation into an altogether new configuration and we must wait

Impersonality is integral to rationality but it's easier said than done. Other spheres of consciousness always wait in the wings and self-interest or self-protection is firm. Education, profession, financial position, age, gender, political affiliation; all have bearing on mind.

War is the father and king of all, said Heraclitus. Randall Collins highlighted how conflicts spur philosophy. Without Heehs imbroglio, the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo would have remained moribund. New frontiers opened by the debates like IY fundamentalism https://t.co/RiwAtRyzGb

If you call yourself a Hindu, you can't ignore the Veda. Once you convince yourself to understand the Veda, you can't ignore Sri Aurobindo. A further step would be to know who is this The Mother. Next test will be what's best from the West. Tolstoy you know, but what about Royce?

I have read a few posts by Bruno Marchal who speculates about numbers dreaming or machines going irrational at an advanced stage. So, what are the challenges to face such a prospect? Seems to be too dystopian; any insights on that? Thanks.

Sri Aurobindo spoke of the logic of the infinite; so, trying to find logic in spirituality doesn't hold water.

It may not be a spiritual path at all; just changing costume to avoid public attention. It's his freedom; needn't conform to any prior version.

What existed in 1370 or happened in 1947 has to be corrected and reversed. Tinkering is not healing; deferring is not the right course for solving a problem. Too many nations have been bound together for too many years; they must be set free. States of India must get Sovereignty.

Savarkar went into Cellular Jail a believer in communal unity, & came out hating Muslims. Both the new biographies on him describe the circumstances that fueled his resentment.
Of course, there was no end to resentment within the larger movement: https://t.co/bsYBgwv44n https://t.co/5BT1AZwdvQ
When I think of Hindutva's new dominance in Indian politics, I think of a dog that has chased a car diligently.
