Each rik in the Veda is a stage in the spiritual development of the Rishi
This is very obvious to a practitioner
If one spends a lot of time with the rik and absorbs it completely in one’s consciousness, then new realizations may happen spontaneously
I noticed while chanting that specific Beeja mantras hit specific chakras in the body. This means that if one repeats them then those chakras may be opened up too
The flow of energy while chanting a mantra may move from the gross to the subtle and even to the level of the cells. If it can be sustained the mastery over sound may help one gain mastery over the body and potentially help one cure any ailments

One realises that Sri Aurobindo has had all the spiritual experiences mentioned in every tradition. And described them so beautifully in Savitri. No other scripture or book compares to it. In its breadth he exceeds the Vedas and in its depth atleast equals it.

Montessori was also inspired by Sri Aurobindo's integral education. She dedicated one of her books to him and expressed her gratitude and admiration for him. Her secretary joined Sri Aurobindo ashram when they visited there.

Montessori system does incorporate some key aspects of Indian system and also goes beyond it. Montessori was a spiritual person with a strong inspiration. She was also very much influenced by Sri Aurobindo and his views on education. Montessori's secretary joined SA ashram.

Marcuse — godfather of the New Left — published Repressive Tolerance in 1965. The most influential political document most people have never read. Its argument: tolerating wrong ideas is itself oppression. True tolerance requires the suppression of intolerant ideas. Tolerating everything is repressive. Suppressing the wrong things is liberating. The argument is circular by design – it puts the conclusion inside the premise and dares you to find the exit.
The practical implication was stated explicitly: withdrawal of tolerance from movements that are regressive, from speech that reinforces existing hierarchies. The left decides which movements are regressive. Everyone else is silenced – not despite tolerance but in its name. The most sophisticated justification for censorship ever produced, dressed in the vocabulary of liberation.
The French Theory picked up the tools and made them elegant. Foucault made the Frankfurt critique of power literary. Derrida made the critique of meaning philosophical. Deleuze made the critique of identity aesthetic. What had been a political program became a cultural sensibility – which is why it spread further and faster than the original. You can argue with a political program. A cultural sensibility is in the air you breathe.

Obviously I'm on @arya_amsha's side in this debate, but it's worth exploring the "trad" phenomenon in a more general sense. In the pre-modern period, Hindus did not see themselves as adhering to "tradition." What we know as traditions, sampradayas, lineages, etc., were all embedded in the structure of society itself, bound up in an interlinking web of patronage, ritual obligations, and kinship ties. "Tradition" in the way we understand it today was itself a product of secularization, when "religion" was privatized as a subset of society, alongside politics, economics, etc.

Modernity "happened to" us. It was "done to" us. One of the weird asymmetries is that Modernity was never a natural outcome of the direction of our own organic society. We were first slapped in the face by modernity in the 19th century, which made us self-aware and view our own practices as "backwards". Some early modern Indians tried to parlay with it and negotiate with it, while trying to retain our sense of self. But no one picked up their threads in the 20th century. Since the initial slap, we've basically spent the last 200 years reacting to one radical and irreversible change brought about my modernity and technology after another. We have no language to talk about what was done to us. Naipaul is brilliant on this in An Area of Darkness.

The Saffron Idiots of Red-Green Alliance
The "Sanghified" Hindus—those steeped in the #PseudoHindutva ideology of the RSS-BJP ecosystem, often proudly waving the saffron flag while chanting "decolonisation"—have, ironically, swallowed hook, line, and sinker the very anti-colonial framework peddled by secularised, pro-Islamic left-liberals.
This is no minor lapse; it is a complete internalisation of the post-independence pro-Islamic leftist narrative that vilifies British rule as the supreme evil of Indian history, while airbrushing, whitewashing, or romanticising centuries of Islamic invasions, tyrannical sultanates, and Mughal exploitation as somehow "benign," "syncretic," or mere "passing phases" in the nation's story.
