At some point in life everyone is alone

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

The rising number of single people, including those who have made the deliberate choice to not mingle. Study after study of this group has shown that many of these individuals describe their lives as being “authentic” and “happy”, yet such stories of fulfilment are invisibilised in a culture that sees coupledom as natural and inevitable. The cost of the accompanying prejudice is often high — such as when landlords refuse to rent houses to individuals, citing a preference for “families”, or when single people are barred, by law, from making certain kinds of reproductive choices.

There is, then, something to learn from the large-heartedness of a small European municipality: When it comes to single people, put away your pitchforks and your pity. After all, at some point in life, due to death, divorce or other circumstances, everyone is alone.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have inaugurated a new era for the mankind and hence worshipping them as the one Supreme Divine is the best option, at present. Savitri Era Religion is the most modern and rational religion without the burden of any cumbersome rituals. All are invited.

There is no sign of the present humanity being pitchforked into the Supramental stage as predicted by The Mother & Sri Aurobindo but that is the most audacious dream to believe in. "This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose" explains the logic of future evolution in Savitri.

The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is universalistic in nature and hence is opposed to Hindutva or an India-centric approach. Associating it with that of Vivekananda or anyone else is patently wrong. Integrating the Veda with evolution and science forms its uniqueness.

M. Aurobindo writes an excellent interpretation in his book "Ideal of Human Unity", deriving his thoughts from this Sūkta 10.191 of Rig Veda, about universal brotherhood.

Political speeches are popular but this is the most critical message from Modi ji. Bharat and Democracy in Bharat is purposive. It is spiritual. Bharat exists for Dharma. Bharat is Shakti. Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo represent this timeless Vedic vision. Indian freedom movement is not just a sequence of political events in history. It is a rekindling and transmission of the eternal mystical fire. Shakti. Passes through Sri Anirvan, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Ananda Coomaraswamy. Picked up by VOI, Dharampal Ji etc. Our work is to live up to and relay their message to the next generation. This is not a political or intellectual project. The goal is not to project political icons or a new fangled, half baked ideology. It is to anchor our forward march in our eternal traditions of Dharma.
