Ashis Nandy n Dipesh Chakrabarty have mocked at Sri Aurobindo's contribution to India n the world. They won't last beyond 2025. Fake historians!

Who is the most authentic social historian in India ? Sri Aurobindo (writer of The Human Cycle n The Foundations of Indian Culture) or the unit made of Dipesh Chakrabarty, Partha Chatterjee, Ashis Nandy n Romila Thapar? Time to judge .

One needs a basic training in the scriptures to comment on Sri Aurobindo's Essays on the Gita, the most complete, the most authentic, the most integral, the ultimate synthetic view of Sri Krishna's uttered n uttered songs. Chakraborty is not fit to pass judgement on SA's Gita.

Mental intelligence cannot reach out to Sri Aurobindo's Gita. One must develop the faculty of higher reason, even if intuition is unreachable for him/her. https://t.co/XopHZlKefH

Among other things we have to highlight 2  major socio-psychological-historical books by Sri Aurobindo. The Human Cycle n The Foundations of Indian Culture. The Master is not just a poet, he is also a sociologist, historian n an observer of the psychology of human development.

Agree about Anjana C, but CIIS is not anti Hindu, was established by Dr Haridas Choudhary, among the foremost disciple of Sri Aurobindo, with an integral approach to combine best of Eastern and Wester thoughts.

The crowning achievement of Romila Thapar, that cult-goddess of Marxist historiography in India, is that she could pass off as the voice of the subaltern, while all the time, actually being the ‘colonial masters’’ voice. @arvindneela https://t.co/B3ezeH1u0q

noticed though that many RW's who feel Churchill was worse than Hitler...... also admire Israel & feel India needs to emulate their ways.   # strange bedfellows indeed. 🙄

forgot to add the Japanese to the list. They often forget that Sri Aurobindo refused to support SC Bose on this matter. He felt Japanese Imperialism was worse ...... & this from a man who admired the Japanese Samurai culture.

Norbert Wiener, who certainly is the first person to formulate computer-based control systems, compared such manipulation of people by computer systems to cattle being imprisoned within an electric fence that gives a mild shock.

Essays in Philosophy and Yoga consists of short works in prose written by Sri Aurobindo between 1909 and 1950 and published during his lifetime, deals primarily with aspects of spiritual philosophy and yoga. Get it here.

Bulk of character-traits are transmitted through genes and some are emergent. Marriages generally being confined to a caste, concentration of skills and attitudes is not unusual. So, birth-based Varna is a fact. However, Sanskritisation as indicated by M.N. Srinivas is also true.

It's not a question of what you do or I profess, as if we are autonomous beings functioning in isolation. Resistance to knowledge is the root of the problem; understanding things should be the priority without going ballistic at the first instance. Sri Aurobindo demands humility.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1168793019673239553?s=19
What you are attributing to Sri Aurobindo may not be accurate. In its origin, Varna was different but it degenerated and Sri Aurobindo won't be blind to such a stark reality. As regards giving children, it sounds too proprietary for each individual pursues his or her own destiny.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1168788926884016129?s=19
Well, that may be one point of view, but if you read Sri Aurobindo, more insights can be gained on the issue. Read about how he explains Mitra and Varuna in his The Secret of the Veda. Four powers are basic to a perfect social organisation and he has elaborated it in Human Cycle.

While a day has so much of variety in terms of circadian rhythm and allied psychological rollercoaster that we ride, annual Merry-go-round of seasons seems to have no noticeable effect or causal factors in human functioning. This disconnect is surprising when even sea sees tides.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1168444579340644352?s=19

No, I think it changes. The effects are at hormonal level that modulate all body activities. Āyurveda discusses change of proportions in Vāta, Pitta and Kapha. It may not be immediate, like the neurotransmitters that change by circadian rhythms, but subtle effects will be there.

Huge decrease in social infrastructure since 2012:  does lack of youth clubs, and libraries contribute to loneliness and social isolation in people with and without mental health problems? https://t.co/CWUSAesRE7
https://twitter.com/UCL_Loneliness/status/1168498218675658753?s=19

Britain is being stripped of its social infrastructure > 760+ youth clubs have shut across since 2012. A pub closes every 12 hours. Nearly 130 libraries were scrapped last year, and those that survive in England have lopped off 230,000 opening hours. https://t.co/KCnXzftvCa

The wonderful article by Nakul Krishna on A K Ramanujam in the current issue of @thecaravanindia : http://t.co/s0pxSpLwzP

A. K Ramanujam wrote his seminal essay on 300 Ramayanas. Perhaps the no. 300 is an arbitrary. As many Ramayanas & Mahabharatas exist as one’s imagination can make. Each episode in the epics can be explained in innumerable ways. That’s true timelessness.
https://twitter.com/vijayadar/status/990478292561158145?s=19
Each version is true in its own way. Which version one accepts is wholly dependent on that person’s intellectual ability to comprehend the deeper meanings. Amar Chitra Katha’s rendering of the Epics are delightful to children of all ages.

Came across this rather interesting essay by A K Ramanujam on 'Is there an Indian way of thinking?' Quaint but nice! https://t.co/XVHgA4Hw4e
