Books: The Wonder that was the Cylinder: Early and Rare Indian Cylindrical Records

A search for history's voices throws up many gems - The Hindu

13-Sep-2014 — In June, Amar Nath Sharma, an Indian Revenue Service officer, decided to take some time ... Cylinders are hollow wax rolls that are played on a phonograph...

In 2012, he released his first book, Bajanama, which documents early part of Indian recording. Among Mr. Sharma’s collection are the oldest voice recording in India dated 1899, rare records of Ustab Bismillah Khan’s uncle, Surendranath Banerjee’s rendition of Vande Mataram, and the speech Dadasaheb Phalke made after making Raja Harishchandra, the country’s film ever silent film.

The cylinders also capture the voices of the doyens of Indian cinema/Hindustani classical music, including Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, Ustad Alladiya Khan, Gauhar Jaan, Bhaurao Kolhatkar, Pandit Balkrishnabuwa and Allahbandi of Jaipur.

It was another era, another technology. Before vinyl records ruled the scene in the early 20th century, the music industry was dominated by wax cylinders. The voices of some of India’s most reputed artistes were recorded on these hollow rolls; sadly, many of them have been lost.

In their book, The Wonder That Was The Cylinder, A.N. Sharma and his daughter Anukriti present a detailed thesis on this fascinating subject. Aiding them in the research is their collection of rare cylinders, which they found lying with scrap dealers. Included are recordings of classical doyens Ustad Alladiya Khan and Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, Marathi music legends Bhaurao Kolhatkar, Bhaskarbuwa Bakhale and Balgandharva, and the father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke.

But Sharma’s book — co-authored by his daughter, Anukriti A Sharma — looks beyond the discs to explore an even earlier medium of recording music, the wax cylinders. Decades before the gramophone record was invented, sound used to be recorded on wax cylinders with minute grooves that could be played on a gramophone player. His book, thus, attempts to uncover the oldest recorded Indian. To do so, Sharma spent over 18 months travelling across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, in search for these cylinders. “I did this with a missionary’s zeal,” he says.

ISKCON is not the sole perveyor of Gaudiya Vaishnavism

Religion is at all unimportant in judging Bengali, particularly poet. Hasn't Nazrul penned some famous Kali songs? Is not he a devout muslim? Come out this.

Ram is a hated character in Bengal. Both Dussera & Diwali are associated with him.

Anthropologically Aryan influence is limited to so called Aryavarta. East, South & Northeast are free from it.

For your information, Chaitanya never visited any Ram temple, even during his stay in north india.

Charitamrita documents his visit to Bargabheema temple.

ISKCON is not the sole perveyor of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

Radha has no mention in writings of other Vaishnava greats.

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/1060732789643972608?s=19

But the biggest contribution of Chaitanya is removal of casteism. This was particularly difficult when Aryavarta reeled under it. Some Vibhishan Bengali also tried to enforce it by Aryavartising Bengal.

Such Vibhishans are cropping up again. Hellbent on making Bengal like Rajasthan or UP, where people are killed in the name of cow.

#Tagore was deeply moved by #Lalan song khanchar vitar achin pakhi (unknown bird within the cage). This song epitomizes #Baul philosophy.

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/790809678649307136?s=19

Night ended with #Nazrul songs of Angur Bala, day starts with #Lalan song, now #Tagore from Kishoreda. Wah!

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/792903412786475008?s=19

Secular minded Bengalis, whose tradition came from #Chaitanya & #Lalan & modified by #Tagore & #Nazrul ,has apathy over @BJP4India But @CPIM_WESTBENGAL seems playing their second fiddle. Not asking about MC member(s) who leaked, certifying vandals as students.

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/1044437759799316480?s=19

Always. Our culture is same. Same Chaitanya, Lalan, Tagore & Nazrul guided us.

@WhirlingDervesh Lalan inspired Tagore. I believe secular culture f Bengal z th gift f Bauls lk Lalan. & it z th only antidote 2 Ssnghis.

It wudB immensely better if bjp off their hands 4m Bengal. They cant understand th culture shaped by Chaitanya, Lalan, Tagore & Nazrul.

Bt, r u abreast of th cultural tradition set up by SriChaitanya, Lalan, Tagore & Nazrul? If u try2 pulverize it, u willB pulverized.

Which one? Have you any question to self proclaimed protectors of Hinduism?

As for me, my only claim is, I follow the paths of Chaitanya, Lalan, Vidyasagar, Tagore & Nazrul. To me human is most precious & peace is necessary.

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/1060374404083957760?s=19

It is our misfortune. For it, communalism z growing throughout India. Message of love spread by Chaitanya, Lalan, Tagore, Nazrul & numerous others sud have been spread. I wrote some articles on love in the poetry of Hasan Raza in English. But there shudB concerted effort.

https://twitter.com/AvijitSinha5/status/1122566594306215936?s=19

They don't know Bengal, land of Chaitanya, Lalan, Vidyasagar, Tagore & Nazrul. Ignorance is not a bliss always.

Inferiority complex?🤣 Its a fact that there is no second Jayadeva or Chaitanya or Madhusudana Saraswati. Comparing them to Tagore, Rammohun roy or Vivekananda is ludicrous

https://twitter.com/shardula23/status/1312343471139610625?s=19

19th century Bengali society did not drop all of a sudden from the sky. What u had in 19th century was a product of the past.

Without Madhusudan Saraswati, Chaitanya, Jayadeva there wouldn't be any Tagore or Vivekananda.

The leader of this Hindu revivalist movement was Shankaracharya, a great thinker and a distinguished philosopher. And this movement was propounded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Namadeva, Tukaram, Jayadeva. The movement's major achievement was its abolition of idol worship.

https://twitter.com/Koliyavanshi/status/1221691079642079232?s=19

doesn’t mention Mao,Marx or Lenin! Instead talks about Lalan Fakir,Chaitanya,Ambedkar,our Constitution,some Azimullah,Manu Smruti,corporates,blah blah blah.....

soil and is therefore bound to fail. So they are trying to usurp Indian teachers like Chaitanya Deva,Lalan Fakir,even Swami Vivekananda! But this will also fail because they are trying to exclude divinity from these greats and trying to present them as mere social reformers

https://twitter.com/tathagata2/status/1160543029326782464?s=19

Visited the akhara of the baul Lalan Fakir,but myth that Rabindranath Tagore had met him was busted. They said he died bfr Tagore was born.

https://twitter.com/tathagata2/status/674999871644958720?s=19

Bengalis must unite ag hate! we r people w heritage of Tagore, Lalan & Nazrul, we must show way forward for rest of India as we did before!

https://twitter.com/khanmfh/status/883394379922120707?s=19

To add to that, the teachings of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda and the immense following they have in Bengal, despite voting the communists and liberals for the last 50 years... you know why? Because of these pioneers, and Tagore and Najrul who taught us "humanity over everything"!

https://twitter.com/sandeeproy1/status/1296056412364132352?s=19

You think Tagore and Najrul were not religious?! They were the biggest devotees of the Supreme Lord, along with Lalan Fakir, Anthony Kabiyal, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and no one taught us bongs, to demean others to feel great. They told us that many roads lead to the same God

"Joto Mot, Toto Poth". As many opinions, that many routes to the same God.

"Sobar Opor Manush Sotyo", humanity over everything

"Bamun Chini Poitey Proman, Bamni chini kemne re", I know a Brahmin through his thread, how do I know his wife?

THAT is Bengal. Over

@atlas47 pointed out about the Bauls! Absolutely! That tradition is a continuity of Bengali liberal Hinduism. They sang about the Supreme God without any malice or prejudice to other beliefs.

Bengal has always been a melting pot of Hindus & Muslims, living together for centuries

Poet Rabindranath Tagore in his 1933 London Hebart Lecture first applauded Lalan Shah as a mystic poet who... http://t.co/sfCqfJk0DT

https://twitter.com/AnubhavChatter2/status/492322514065195008?s=19

In fact many Tagore songs r influenced by baul bhaktibad (devotional philosophy). He met lalan phakir too...

https://twitter.com/KathakaliM/status/848355041304092673?s=19

@ashwinsanghi Tagore was very much influenced by Sufi thoughts, Lalan Fakir being one.

https://twitter.com/repubindia/status/385861711665713152?s=19

Now Saba Naqvi invokes Tagore, Nazrul Islam & Lalan Fakir to justify a greater Bengal identity. This is mischievous. The larger picture is gradually unfurling. A sinister plan to take away West Bengal from India. Let's resist this with our lives.

https://twitter.com/sgsura1/status/1118166161697304576?s=19

Also way to elitist/urban to only see Ray and Tagore as the only icons of Bengali "culture". For many Bangaliana, is still associated with figures such as, Ramprasad and Lalan Fakir.

Every missionary who worked/works in India had/has the might of either the Empire /transnational Church network behind, Srila Prabhupada was truly a penniless single man. I strongly oppose anti-Darwin component of ISKCON, which cannot diminish my veneration for Srila Prabhupada.

https://twitter.com/arvindneela/status/1310418725103792128?s=19

In all sects abuse is bound to happen. More cultish or/and more authoritarian more the abuse. Every Hindu sect has to do Dharmic audit in public and reduce the avenues of abuse and through secular institutions make sure the guilty are punished and victims get justice.

Criticize Gandhi. But do not give into juvenile hatred. Gandhiji is one of the great sons of Mother India. Let not pub-Gandhians and beef-Gandhians appropriate his legacy only to perpetuate his blunders while ignoring his Dharmic core.

When will we come out of our juvenile perverted hated towards Gandhiji? I have my critical views on Gandhiji but to live a fraction of a life as sublime as his, it takes tremendous inner strength. Sad.

https://twitter.com/arvindneela/status/1312265788598829056?s=19

His blunders are important. We should study them and analyse them so that we wouldn't fall into the same errors. But highlighting his blunders only because of the perverse pleasure of spitting at a great man for his falls, will ultimately harm us as a nation and civilization.

Market power of one language can completely obliterate the experience of others

What is the point of industrialization without environmental safeguards, farming science with wasteful consumption, medicine with people addicted to drugs their whole life, arms purchase without any real political sovereignty? Sadly, India got the worst of both the worlds.

I translated another Lithuanian Sutartinė "Kūkal rože ratilio" into Telugu as కంకుల రోజా గుత్తీలో. Such Sutartinės are sung around midsummer, when women gather for a social event, or for celebrating the harvest.

https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1303336792830156800?s=19

They sound a lot like Telugu folk songs. 😀

https://t.co/S6aux7l6ZN

I discussed the deep symbolism of the lyrics to the folk history of Slavic people, who suffered a lot over their history, due to invasions and war. Their situation is not unlike the north-west of India. There are many haunting melodies here. They might be simple, but very moving.

I translated a lullaby from Beaggu language of the Solomon Islands "Rorogwela" into Telugu as చంటితమ్ముడూ జాయిగా బజ్జోరా. Many people know the tune from the electronic band "Deep Forest", but the original singer "Afunakwa" didn't earn a penny out of this.

https://t.co/cyb3HDim7l

I discussed the issues related to protecting authenticity in creative expression, especially when taking source material from small vulnerable groups. This is the struggle of our times, where the market power of one language can completely obliterate the experience of others.

Today, I translated "Mahk Jchi" by the Native American a cappella group "Ulali" from Tutelo & Saponi languages into Telugu as "మా గుండెలు నిండుగా ఉన్నాయి".

This song reminds how the song and spirit of their ancestors are still flowing through the singers.

https://t.co/5i4SVTSl12

Today, I translated “𒌓𒌷𒄴 𒌓𒍪𒊏𒌷𒀀“ (In those days, in those distant days) from Sumerian language into Telugu as “ఆ రోజుల్లో, ఆ అలనాటి రోజుల్లో”. It is from the Epic of Gilgamesh (గిల్గమేషుని కథ), and sung by Peter Pringle.

https://t.co/SS4kgTCNonఆ-రోజుల్లో-అలనాటి-రోజుల్/

Today, I translated the song "Kozala" (to exist) by the singer Rebecca M'Boungou and her band "Kolinga" from the Lingala language of Congo into Telugu as "బ్రతికుండడం, శూన్యంలోకూడా నిలిచుండడం". This song has great jazzy rhythms and some profound lyrics.

https://t.co/9LIXgBVOyF

I translated the Peyote healing song "Wani Wachiyelo"of the Native American Lakota tribe into Telugu as "ఇంకా జీవించాలనుంది". 

https://t.co/izPHcDy4RZ

I translated the Cherokee morning chant for greeting the sun "We n'de ya ho" into Telugu as "బ్రహ్మంతో ఒకటైయాను".

I find it very sad that a lot of the native American songs simply disappeared. We only have very few morcels from this oral literature. 

https://t.co/mDFaddJXtn

I translated the Maori folk song "E papā Waiari" from the Hawaiian singer Fiji into Telugu as "ఓ పాపా వయ్యారి". I kept the exact Maori words from the title in Telugu, and that somehow worked! 😀😄

https://t.co/anUYpXXlK4

I translated the ancient Egyptian chant "A Ka Dua", which was deciphered from hieroglyphs, into Telugu as "ఓ పైనున్న వాడా". 

I discussed the possible identification of this deity with Mahadēva Śiva in Hinduism.

https://t.co/auVDjqDlc6

I translated the "Forest Hymn" from the band "Deep Forest" into Telugu as "గాలి కూస్తోంది అడవి తల్లి కీర్తి". I am not sure which language the original lyrics are from (possibly the Pygmy language in Congo). The album gives the lyrics only in English.

https://t.co/a7MDCOm7x4

I translated the Tuareg song "Nànnuflày" from the Malian band "Tinariwen" into Telugu as "సంతుష్టి". I started this translation hobby with a song from Tinariwen, so it was nice to revisit their work. Excellent graphic video and animation, by the way. 😀👍

https://t.co/pkJ0QXszIO

Today, I translated “Purple haze” by Jimi Hendrix into Telugu as “నీలారుణ మసక”. The lyrics describe the effect of taking some drug, a very common theme in that era. Hendrix died far too early, but opened up a grand vista of music for us.

https://t.co/eR7co7rfw9నీలారుణ-మసక/

I translated the Japanese song プライベート サーファー by the singer Ua into Telugu as "అలలపై ఏకాంతస్వారీ", via a machine translation into English. I was not happy with this, but I hope to improve this in the future, if I see any authentic translation. 🙂

https://t.co/XHCPcRQUFf

I translated the Ukranian song "монах" (Monakh) by the folk band Darkha Brakha into Telugu as "తాగి తందనాలాడిన సన్యాసి". This song describes the need to enjoy the presence of the current moment, instead of suffering an overly regimented life. 

https://t.co/XOPDytziV7

I translated the Polish folk song "Oj ty rzeko" into Telugu as "ఓయి నదీవే, ఎందుకు నిండుగా లేవు?". The song is sung impromptu by the folk singer Karolina Cicha and her band in Rajasthan. She posted the video on Youtube, showing a very fresh performance. 😀

https://t.co/JtKdU57T1C

I translated the song "Perkūne, Ugniaveidi" by the Lithuaninan singer Rugilė Daujotaitė into Telugu as "పర్జన్యా అగ్నివదనా". The song has mixed English and Lithuanian lyrics. In my translation, I adopted the Sanskrit cognates of the Lithuanian words. 😀

https://t.co/m0Y1ScTLgM

I translated "Les feuilles mortes" from French into Telugu as "ఎండుటాకులు". The song is sung beautifully by Juliette Greco, who passed away yesterday. I hope my translation helps more people discover French chansons, immortalized by singers like Greco.

https://t.co/Yv0EPpEkN7

I translated the renowned French song "La Mer" by Charles Tenet into Telugu as "కడలి, నా హృదయాన్ని తట్టింది". This song is entwined with so many of my own memories along the French sea coast. 😀

https://t.co/yoylRGdtkf

I translated the Khmer song "កូនកំសត់" (kaun komsott) by the renowned Cambodian singer of the 1960s Ros Serysothea into Telugu as "పాపం పసిపిల్లలు". This lilting melody is filled with Vātsalya Bhāva. Thanks to @premanmurthy for suggesting the song.

https://t.co/e4c5ubmuAS

I translated the Blues song "We don't care" by Eric Bibb and Habib Koité into Telugu as "మనకి అనవసరం". The song is about the indifference of so many people to world's problems. The musical collaboration between the American and Mali musicians is fantastic.

This thread of A-Z top #OdiaSongs is a unique list covering most singers of the era. It was a golden period with lyricists and composers giving their best. Odia language is indebted to them for ever. Further, these represent authentic Odia life and culture and not archaic Odissi.

Clearly they have no idea what we suffered in the 80s and 90s on long distance video coaches. Have watched Jo Jita Wohi Sikandar at a volume that could bring back Alexander the Great from the dead. Don't know if things have improved, but this just doesn't look scary.

Rammohan Roy is known as 1 of the first Hindu revivalists in the post Muslim rule era. Subhas Bose has brilliantly categorized Rammohan Roy as such (Indian Struggle). Since Rammohan is being grouped as a counterpoint 2 Vivekananda’s “casteism”, can we get some direct quotes?

I really don’t get the Kabuliwallah effect. It’s a beautiful story. I wish you leave works of beauty out, even if you can’t enjoy them. And, it’s a fact that overall certain communities produced less martyrs than others. U might want to take a look at Cellular stats

Since you are telling us what to do, let me, in turn tell you what you can do.

a) Dig out histories of peasant rebels of Gujarat and Rajasthan [many peasant rebels who fought and died against British] to counter Garga.

b) Read what Rabindranath said about Islam and Christianity.

The Communists have always disliked Rabindranath. He was always a `bourgeoisie poet' for them, always too Bengali Hindu for their tastes.. And modern day Sanghis, who haven't even read him properly, are telling us that Rabindranath is Leftist/Brit stooge/Islamophile ....

https://twitter.com/maidros78/status/1234850310864039936?s=19

Some of the strongest criticism of birth based castes came from Swami Dayananda Saraswati, but he is never mentioned !

https://twitter.com/KirtivardhanD/status/1235195449142906880?s=19

These people would prefer praising castism than embrace Dayanandas views,  because caste unfortunately is low on their list of priorities.

Anarchy is riddled with so many obvious glaring errors in facts and chronology that I gave up halfway. I generally enjoy Willy’s work. Then again I’m a Maratha, so his blanket minimisation of our history stood out.

https://twitter.com/asc89/status/1234575001891639296?s=19

Sikhs have managed well enough. I suspect it’s because they have a robust diaspora. There isn’t a comparable Marathi community to speak of. Fwiw I was one of the early people on Wikipedia (circa 2005), started many of Maratha history articles.

I gave up on the place in 2009. A decade later, every single one of those pages is full of juvenile braggadocio, caste animus and just general puffery. *shrugs*

Spot on. The irony is that most young Indian adult males are not even aware of all the gynocentric laws that exist in the country while get into a relationship. It's only when shit hits the fan that they start discovering the trap. Massive male re-education needed in India.

Because anyone sane keeps away. Doing research in and on India is *not* easy, for historiographical reasons as well as infrastructural. One must truly love the place or have a burning curiosity. I, for example, approached India mostly through foreign sources

As Wikipedia attaches a lot of importance to citations, they attack your citations from publicly available sources.

These editors ensure by one method or the other that their narrative on a particular page does not change.

This is mainly the case with political pages.

The complex wheels of Wikipedia grind very slowly.  It is effectively the opposite of twitter in this regard.  Twitter is therefore prone to angry mobs and extreme disinformation.  Wikipedia can make mistakes, of course.  But it is a very different environment from social media.

Yes in the play of forces Modi has part to play his & others of us have ours to play too. The role that Modi inhabits, the power that is in his hands is too great to be allowed to go waste. As Arjuna had his choice NOT to do his dharma Modi has too. That is why he must be opposed.

Yes the main question is WHAT is going to be stabilized? If he is simply providing a corruption-free poorly-performing Hindu-averse secular socialist Congress-ideology govt then he is STABILIZING and PERPETUATING the very problem he was elected to change in the first place.

In the ultimate analysis Yoga mattered. Not the deities. Mother Worship is there in every religion, which is the main thing in this yoga. But the fanatic muslims n their intelligentsia refuse to understand that. Syed Mehdi Imam wrote a good bk on Savitri. A pioneer from Lucknow.

The central surrender is to the Mother. Sri Aurobindo says at many places whoever you offer your devotion there is there one recipient-- the World Mother. But people think that there Ishta Devtas receive it. The recipient is the mediating force- mediatrix. Always.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal3/status/1235161579538219009?s=19

The " deities matter" and Sri Aurobindo has given infinite freedom  in his path, the personal religious choice is always there. But the Supramental yoga is impossible without the Mother. Only the Mother can break the lid to initiate the Supermind descent.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal3/status/1235162693570613248?s=19

Sri Aurobindo is the future of Mankind. Naturally the progress is slow. All others will take a backseat 50 years later. There will be only Sri Aurobindo with plenty of Overmen controlling the scene.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal3/status/1235137292601196545?s=19

But the "Hindus" have no copyright to Sanatan Dharma. Sri Aurobindo liberates the 3 major texts, the Vedas, the Upanishads n the Gita from the clutches of the fanatic Hindus n alone brings out their true yoga. They were addressed to Man for their transformation.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal3/status/1235221686611513345?s=19

Because in no other religion or cultural framework is found the bedrock of spirituality, the living Shruti of the Veda, the Secret-Word..it was inevitable that Master was born in our Dharma..His SaptaChatustaya was founded upon the already rare heights of the Veda..

https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235087251467456512?s=19

The deities matter, for the forms and modes of expression of this Yoga’s force is not a colourless neutral...it does take aspects of some older religions, say Egyptian and Nordic for example, but dominantly it is Hindu in character..Satprem’s experiences attest to this.

https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235145702432366592?s=19

Absolutely. She alone receives. Yet there is a precision and fullness in receiving each expression and inflection of Her in each layer. https://t.co/QdZ0ZJutNo

No confusions there. Contention was about characterising Integral Yoga as something that bloomed in isolation and not connected to Sanatana Dharma...while its genesis and experiential fact indicates it is but a continuation of the thread that the Vedic Rishis began...

https://twitter.com/kalisbrood/status/1235216353360891905?s=19

While this aim sounds impressive, it's impossible to have a view from nowhere. Bias or prejudice lurk always and the urge to win brownie points. The function of philosophy however is to understand the world sans distortions imposed by socio-cultural lenses https://t.co/MccX4Hifjw

Defining spirituality may not be difficult but finding one with access to that is. Religion on the other hand is like an umbrella under which different persons with common faith take shelter for social utilities. The Mother among others is one such theme.  https://t.co/TA40KS9mIW

3. Internet will usher in transparency and fairplay

Deeper implications of the sciences

Because of the sheer aesthetic repulsiveness of Darwinistic thinking (Not a comment on whether it is true or not, that is irrelevant). In that sense it is the opposite of Newtonian thinking.

While esthetics have a deep evolutionary root, evaluations such as the below are purely subjective even as Hindu temple architecture is deeply repulsive to the Abrahamistically conditioned when compared to Saracenic productions. They say more about the individual than the foundations of biology. The deeper implications of the sciences cannot be understood by a superficial study. The Newtonian physics you learn in junior college with relatively basic calculus only gives you a superficial understanding of it and unless you are endowed with genius or put in serious effort into studying it more deeply you don't see is deeper significance. Now the education in biology is more shaky. Armed with just that it will be difficult to fathom its foundations i.e. the evolutionary theory. But if you put in enough study to master its foundations you will see things that will make the essence of statements like the above look naïve at best. darshana-s are fine but 1 must remember that for all their glory they are mostly coupled the bronze age or at best some layer of premodern science. This necessarily makes less complete than they can be if they were to move along in the other domains of knowledge.
https://twitter.com/blog_supplement/status/1231308978501701632?s=19

He may indeed be seen as such an attempt. but personally he's formulation is not my cup of tea because 1) as in the days of yore is still darshana-s should have a link to religion and in my case that would old vaidika polytheism; 2) I don't see a subsuming of evolutionary theory
https://twitter.com/blog_supplement/status/1231319925098188801?s=19

Does Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga darshana attempt (which tries to subsume Darwinian evolution) fulfill a contemporary darshanic need? Any other such attempts?

Scholarship and learning are means of detecting a wrong

Assorted tweets collated by @NathTusar Director #SavitriEra Learning Forum (SELF since 2005)

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.

https://twitter.com/GoutamGhosal2/status/1167976014498029568?s=19

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

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.

https://twitter.com/mr_scientism/status/1167936929402216449?s=19

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).

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.

https://twitter.com/auroviryavaan/status/1163064085413539841?s=19

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 !

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
