Bergson, Saussure, and Althusser

Assorted tweets collated by @NathTusar, Founder of SELF (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Savitri Era Party (2007)

Any good points? Then only one can measure someone's worth objectively. One example: he was responsible for marginalising Subhas in an unjust manner. And later, Sri Aurobindo too disliked the latter's joining hands with Hitler. So, Gandhi was an instrument of Evolutionary forces.
Many wrong impressions circulate apropos Sri Aurobindo due to quotations taken out of context. Much misunderstanding has indurated regarding his views on Gandhi, Muslims, AIT, Partition, etc. Savitri Era Party takes independent stand on present problems by keeping aside his words
To reiterate What I tweeted in 2018, Gandhi proved to be an effective antidote against Hindutva as well as aligning with Hitler. To that extent he served Sri Aurobindo's purpose.

Sri Aurobindo declined to meet him but that doesn't exactly mean that Sri Aurobindo was against Gandhi. Churchill was wrong in many respects but Sri Aurobindo found him to be the most fit instrument to confront Hitler. Thus, history is a bit more comlex when #SriAurobindo enters.
Music to my ears but just think of yourself wasting precious years on Gandhi because of your father's influence. It's great that you find virtue in Sri Aurobindo now, but you have published precious little on him. The whole environment was like that. It will take some years now.
Critical appraisal is not opposition; it's done out of sympathy. But Gandhi was in the field and had to be utilised for specific purposes. Hindutva, as we understand today, was absent then. By Hindus, Sri Aurobindo meant Indians. There was no communal angle in his thinking.

Each person has his good and bad side. Gandhi needn't be mocked in such derogatory way. A more scientific and objective appraisal is warranted.
Replying to
There must be a reason why Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo were born in opposite sides of India and never met during three decades. Present generation must probe into this whole scenario for a wealth of information and insights is waiting to be discovered. This is an Evolutionary task.

While Sri Aurobindo disagreed with Gandhiji at some points there was no one who appreciated diversity of expression and of being more than Sri Aurobindo twitter.com/brahmavidvariy
Please do read me I interrogate and debate his ideas across papers and books as philosophers are want to do but I continue to learn lessons of humanity and respect for difference from him
There was great appreciation for diversity of self expression in Ari Aurobindo and in Gandhi ! Sri Aurobindo wrote on the difference between unity and uniformity! It will be unjustified to think that he characterised Gandhi as “bad” ! I have upcoming books on both thinkers !
He called him " ethical", not " bad."
They see the whole, the good points and minus points in the whole. Gandhi has many positive virtues like his theory of basic education and non-coperation which he took from Sri Aurobindo without acknowledgement. Usually they don't use the word "bad."
Sri Aurobindo only comments on his attitude to life, not on the pitfalls in his life. But even Gandhi's attitude to life and politics didn't match with Sri Aurobindo's, especially in the early 1940s, when Sri Aurobindo declined to meet him. Pl read SA n the Cripps Mission.

Mohomaya bhi satya hai, SriHari bhi satya hai. Mohomaya aur Jiban ko bhagana nahi, unki roopantar Sri Aurobindo ka YOG hai .

I think it might have been in the sense that Gandhi's spiritual endeavors were really restricted to the domain of morality or ethics & did not rise beyond. When I tried to follow Gandhi that's all I cud derive. Gandhism at best rose to level of moral purity & principled idealism.
What is Maya for the ignorant, unaware of Hari, is Mata for the seeker of Hari & Shakti for the knower who has found identity with Hari. Sri Aurobindo shows us the secret of Maya, one with Hari & Genetrix working out Truth-Creation in matters mould, the reason even we came about.
A basic requirement to know the Truth is to set aside preconceived notions. Read this article revealing why allying with Hitler was a big blunder by Bose. I am not a Bengali but my Guru Sri Aurobindo was Bengali by birth yet universal in outlook
Dr. Bhaskar Yogi spoke about conspiracy by British to divide the nation starting 4m divisive activity among Sikhs by Max Arthur Macauliffe to Bengal partition in 1905. #SriAurobindo inspired the nation to undo partition not just for geography but bcos Bharat is Divine
Informing the life and message of Sri Aurobindo for all is the task at hand To understand the vision of Akhand Bharat and its interpretation, every citizen must know the life and message of Sri Aurobindo, that is Hindu-centric thought and philosophy.

It is fascinating that prominent figures of the Indian national movement (across the political spectrum) like Radhakrishnan, Aurobindo, Iqbal engaged with the ideas of Bergson in some way. Can't find any work that shows this aspect.
