Sri Aurobindo. Indic thought. Culture, people, poetry. Ishta devata: Krishna. How does Sanatana Dharma live in and around me? I learn something every day.

During an interview by @PriyBard at the @PondyLitFest 2023, we discussed conceptions of time in the Indic & Judeo-Christian civilisations, history & itihasa, national education based on a national history, & themes from my forthcoming book on revolutionary nationalism.

So impressed with the MG road boulevard in Bengaluru. One side lined with plants, the other with art installations and nuggets of history. Clean and well-maintained. Such a pleasant walk upon exiting the metro. Wishing for this to be the norm in Indian cities in the coming years.

#SriAurobindo always said that his Yoga began where the former Yogas ended, that to be able to realise his Yoga it was necessary first of all to have reached the extreme limit of what the older Yogas had realised…

@pratyasharath Perhaps the real message is that the exams (and the way they're designed) are failing you.

Meticulously conceived initiatives by the IKS division of MoE. Our traditional martial arts nurture strength, agility, speed, vigilance, balance, and control over our senses.

Did you say abala nari? Please watch.

He walks us through the vision of the IKS division of Ministry of Education and of the Dhara conference series that celebrates cultural traditions of Bhārata.

Lot of debates going on about the Chola dynasty's religious identity.

Thankfully, the Cholas themselves have left plenty of surprising data that answer such debates.

Leaving politics and ideologies aside, if we look at history, the truth emerges without a shadow of doubt!

A🧵!

"One can do something about real fears, but one can do very little with imaginary ones; one can even do less with fears politically adopted, fears which can win concessions, capture states and carve out kingdoms".

[Rajeev Mantri @RMantri]

Given unprecedented inflation in advanced economies, one has to question their policy choices through the pandemic. While the shock to energy and food prices from the European war is a proximate cause, excessive fiscal stimulus during 2020 had fragilized these countries.

May India rise and fulfil her spiritual destiny. May Sri Aurobindo's light and vision guide us.

Dear Tourists in Pondy,
This may come as a surprise to you, but there are actually people who live here, yes residents, who use the streets for their daily commute. So maybe reconsider ambling aimlessly across half the road while your SUVs block the other half.
