Very knowledgeable and insightful article by Shri Alok Pandey of Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
Savitri Era: Sri Aurobindo has envisaged a religion for humanity https://t.co/24STSvvdJ4

Savitri Era of those who adore,
Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.
[Sri Aurobindo's The Ideal of Human Unity was first issued in 1919. In The Human Cycle Sri Aurobindo foresees the present 'subjective' age culminating in a spiritual age. Human consciousness merges in oneness. R SUBRAMONY - International Journal on Multicultural Literature, 2021]
[The Mother has often been the biggest ‘stumbling block’ in understanding Aurobindo’s final vision. Troy Organ’s review of McDermott’s work takes exception to the confusion that Mirra’s ‘gnosticism, occultism, and bhaktism’ for ‘creating an Aurobindoism’ that obfuscates] WOLFERS
For all Smarthas ofcourse Puri Shankaracharya ji and Karpatri Maharaj are most respected when it comes to Dharma. https://t.co/8RCIhxStTa

According to some of these e-warriors there is no one else in the Hindu sphere worthy of respect other than Pujya Swami Karpatriji Maharaj and Pujya Puri Shankaracharya Ji Mahabhag.
Some of them have even cancelled Kanchi SriMatham as "British created Math".

Never i meant any disrespect to those great acharyas. Let the Gods be the judge but I'm commenting on the toxic environment created here by a section of people who unfortunately claim to have been inspired by these acharyas.
In fact more time is spent here by smartha traditionalists fighting Arya Samaj which is a total waste of time given Arya Samaj is nowhere near relevant in the real world.

Sanghis might have internalized some reformist views but core AS tenets like monotheism and non idol worship aren't followed by them
Aryas Samaj and Charvaka are kinda polar opposite philosophically. I can understand Sanghi being infiltrated by Carvaka more as some nationalist organizations tend to
You're not the spokesman of those Acharyas. I'm only characterizing what i see here. The behavior of some of their self declared followers is disgraceful and not something the Acharyas would approve.
Yes unfortunately this political muck has gone on for too long and become more toxic over time. You cannot even praise Savarkar here without getting abuse from this section of twitter and it's always this section
Charuvaks have no business commenting on Hindu issues
Rituals are a very essential part of Hinduism.
And Aagama shastras literally lay out the rules and procedures for various rituals. How can one be considered an expert if they don't follow the religion or rituals ?
No doubt Shri. KK Muhammed is a knowledgeable man who deserves our respect.
But in matters of shastra we must defer to the Traditional gurus.
Sri Aurobindo and Mother are two people whom I respect a lot. I'm not sure what purpose bringing their names into this discussion serves, madam.

This is really crossing the limits by these self declared trads. Mask has fallen off and clear that their gripe is not with Modi/BJP/RSS but against Hindutva. Clear now! https://t.co/61bqP8Me87

He crossed the line when he abused Veer Savarkar - the progenitor of Hindutva - as Adharmi. RSS toh bahana hai, Hindutva ko gaali dena hai.
Savarkar did not eat beef nor did he advocate eating it. His statement was made in the following contexts:
1. Hindus who are force-fed beef should not lose their dharma due to that and should be welcomed back into the Hindu fold.
2. Hindu kings should not drop their weapons to protect the cow when invader armies used the cows as shields
3. It is ok to eat beef if you are starving to death and there is no other alternative
Even with these views, he was STRICTLY against allowing cow slaughter aimed at hurting Hindus. His stand was only in the context of "Aapad-dharma".
I don't know who those guys are but here you are behaving exactly like them by dragging the name of Karpatri Ji and Shankaracharya Ji.
Not expected from you.

I have never seen any such person who follows Puri Shankaracharya but attacks Karpatri Ji. It'd be very strange unless they are fake profiles
It's a big mistake to think that AS is irrelevant. A lot of Sanghis have exactly same views.
They have not expressed their views clearly but their permissiveness towards Carvaka etc is clear. Also, when Hindu Mahasabha started growing in 1920s, in places like Maharashtra their entire manpower was people associated with Arya Samaj and we know how close HMS and RSS were.

Joker Gupta was sharing this to prove I do not what but this looks all lies.
1. SK ji is nowhere else described as having a temper.
2. BNK is accusing SK ji of not spending time on puja! How can u take this seriously?
3. SK ji kept quiet after hearing all this from NKB ? lol https://t.co/pKJf0HkJW1
As far Kashi Vishavnath temple entry issue goes, the issue was not temple entry. Karpatri Ji hasd been doing exchange of letters with a couple of prominent Dalit leaders. A solution was arrived at that everyone would do darshan from outside Garbhagrha+

I recall @_Advaitwad and @vedaechoesji doing some good threads on Swami Karpatri.
Please share so I can RT.
Let's share all good threads on Swami Karpatri Ji today.
Before 1905 partition, Aurobindo Ghosh & other revolutionaries were trying to recruit Bengali youth to join them but didn't have much success and they were kind of demotivated for a while but then the partition happened and Bengal erupted in anger. Everything changed.

Yes, but such arya samaji handles are used by liberal turncoats in RW like Kushal Mehra and Harsh Gupta Madhusudhan to further malign the acharyas. Day in and day out lies are being spread.
https://twitter.com/khalsa_iyer/status/1430844083291836424?s=19
The entire fiasco started today, because Kushal mehra had to rant about a thread on Swami Karpatri ji maharaj written by Brahmashri Samavedam Shanmuka sharma garu, using lies spread by samajis. Even beef iyer mitra joined in the rant.
Many think I'm affiliated with Govardhanmath & my tweets about Karpatri ji are justifications of my own prejudices. Fwiw I must clarify that I speak as a total outsider who is himself in violation of their code of conduct. I speak only coz I find the misrepresentations repulsive.

They've made a fetish out of this Vedas for all business. In Kashmir shaiva and shakta schools, which constitute the mainstream religious practice of our community, Deeksha is not based on birth. It is no big deal you know. So kindly spare me the lectures on 'reform'.
I had the occasion to interview him many years back and have met him several times too. This was before they became so popular on SM.
It was just a thread on Karpatri Swami which if they didn't like could have ignored but then they showed their true colors by unnecessarily dragging his name in e-fights. I was quite aware of such behaviour it is only their friends who still believe buy those stupid explanations.

I do not follow any ritual you are liberty to brand me non You assume too much in your opinion
Your opinion on museum isn't fact fortunately
And reading further down your certification of who is a Hindu and who is not is outright narrow minded and destructive to what Hinduism is
Thank you
Doesn't change anything for me
But I urge you to go beyond your notion of definition
Listen to his talk on Bateshwar. Listen to a portion where he talks about a tree fully grown and covering a temple
That's all
The Sri Aurobindo Ashram has been my source of everything I know live or
The Mother was French by birth. A mixed parentage of Turkish Jewish Egyptian ancestry
Few to me know about India and her systems of yoga and the aim of life better
I can't think like you
Im lucky
