A giant leap for Indology and Vedic sciences

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra (b. 1956), Director, Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005), Founder, Savitri Era Religion (2006), and President, Savitri Era Party (2007). Savitri Era of those who adore, Om Sri Aurobindo & The Mother.

Smith saw sympathy as our ability to understand the situation of the other person, a form of knowledge that constitutes the basis for all assessment of the behaviour of others. Our spontaneous tendency to observe others is inevitably turned upon ourselves, and this is Smith’s key to understanding the moral identity of the individual through social interaction... Although a philosopher of public life and in some measure a public figure, Adam Smith adhered to the Enlightenment ideal of privacy to a degree rarely achieved by his contemporaries.

#Auroville does not belong to nobody in particular, nor to humanity as a whole.
That's good, at least the Union Government is not entertaining the French stooge. Still, politics go on inside Auroville - we shall keep telling the plight and facts, till some concrete action happens.

In the biography, (page 336)Srinivas Iyengar writes that in the transformation process of Sri Aurobindo at Alipore Jail, Swami Vivekananda had “spoken” to him and “Rammohun had given the material for his book Yogic Sadhan”. That was the dimension of Rammohun.
RM Roy fans keep attacking my motives & scholarship. My thread was based entirely on RM Roy's OWN words in an official document to British Parliament called "Remarks on Settlement in India by Europeans" available in RamMohun Library, Kolkata's catalog. rammohunlibrarykolkata.org/uploads/rammoh
& forced open the gates that kept the native Indian/Hindu genius locked inside the walls of deshachara & kulachara. Both Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay & Sri Aurobindo - organ-voices of nationalism - have acknowledged this positive aspect of the advent of Europeans/the English.
