Human life is governed by physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, literature, and other spheres. Yoga seeks to apply the power of higher consciousness for transformation so that human limits can be surpassed. Worshipping The Mother & Sri Aurobindo is key.

True, it begins from 1870s but the root lies in 1840s when Dharmasabha of Radhakanta Deb and Brahmo Samaj of Debendranath Tagore allied against Christian missionaries and opened up Hindu Hitarthi Vidyalaya in 1846. Read Indranath Bandyopadhyay and Jogendra Chandra Bose.

Sanjaysingh Jayanti Ravi Narendra Modi RAJ BHAVAN, TAMIL NADU Goutam Ghosal Mohit Bansal Giving Auroville land for purposes other than Auroville is NOT acceptable without the approval of vast majority of residents. These lands were likely donated to Auroville (or purchased using donations) by well-wishers of Auroville like us and it's not OK for the foundation to

Sanjaysingh Jayanti Ravi Narendra Modi RAJ BHAVAN, TAMIL NADU Goutam Ghosal Mohit Bansal Though I had expressed it strongly, that's my humble opinion.

The property - Annapurna farm was bought with donations by devotees of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo and well-wishers of Auroville

Goutam Ghosal Can the fact that a small coterie did not utilise the farm properly create a moral or ethical justification to give away Auroville land? It is not government property for govt to take away. It was property bought with donations of well-wishers of Auroville and devotees of Mother

Goutam Ghosal I am all for ridding Auroville and the Annapurna farm from the clutches of some small coterie of vested interests. But citing that as a reason to donate Auroville land is not justifiable. It would be like burning down the house to get rid of rat problem. Jayanti Ravi All

It's tempting to invoke Sri Aurobindo while discussing AI but they are chalk and cheese. I have been cautioning against utilitarian interpretation of his philosophy and yoga or for that matter education. Transformation isn't reform or development. Avoiding trivialisation is vital
