Aurobindonian Education !




The British type of education was designed to produce clerks in India !

Lord MaCaulay argued that since the Indans are rich in culture and morality, they couldnt be subjugated. Then he proposed to change the ancient educational system of India.

"Teach them English and India will become a dominated nation " that was what he proposed.

Sri Aurobindo, one of the greatest writers in English, reversed that trend. He insisted on Indian Education, which can transform this mighty Hindu nation.

It is time we replaced the MaCaulean with the Aurobindonian system of Education !

Focus on Agriculture, infrastructure development !

In India, Nehru neglected Agriculture. He went in for massive defence development and industrialisation, instead of upgrading infrastructure.

It is true that India produces about 267 million tonnes of foodgrains, but we can produce more. It is imperative that we upgrade infrastucture - roads, rail, airports, seaports and focus on Agriculture. More FDI is needed in Food Processing. Tourism infrastructure should also be upgraded.

The Song Revealed to the Discriminative Intellect by the Self

That which was revealed to the discriminative intellect
Revealed by the Absolute Self
Intuited by the Master Mystic, Vyasa
And other Masters of yore
The conferror of Advaitic Wisdom
The true Mother Divine
Composed of eighteen chapters glorious
O Mighty Mother celestial
We bow to Thee !


Parthena Pratibhoditham
Bhagavata Narayanena Swayam
Vyasene Gradhitam
Purana Munina Madhye Mahabharatam
Advaitaamrita Varshineem
Bhagavateem
Ashta Dasa Dhyayinieem
Amba tvam Anu sandhadami
Bhagavat Geethe
Paradvesineem

The Geetha is verily our Mother, a Lamp lit by the Lord, the Science of the Absolute and  the Scripture on Yoga. The Lord milked the 16008 Upanishads ( allegorically depicted as His wives ) and the quintessence thus got is this Song Celestial or Bhagavat Geeta. 


The Self is Rider
The body intellect
Mind the reins
And chariot  human body !

Atmanam Radhinam Viddhi
Sareeram Ratham eva Cha

Buddhim thu Saradhim Viddhi
Mana Pragrahameva cha !

Politics, the 8th Science of Philosophia Indica

Is Politics a Science ? Yes, it is, it is the Science of the State. In India, it is not Politics which is ruling, it is Poly Tricks, as the nation is held to ransom by politricians !

According to Western Philosophy, it is the seventh science.

In the Indian, it is closely related to Kaulilya's Artha Sastra, the 8th Science of Indian Philosophy !

These are the seven sciences which constitute Western Philosophy.

Ontology - The Science of Being
Epistemology - The Science of Knowledge
Axiology - The Science of Value
Aesthetics - The Science of Beauty
Ethics - The Science of Character
Logic - The Science of the regulative principles of Thought
Politics - the Science of the State.

The divine principle " Do harm to none ( Ahimsa Paramo Dharma ) " is a noble virtue indeed. But this is a spiritual principle and cannot be brought to the mundane plane. If you implement this principle in the state, crime and lawlessness will prevail. Machiavelli in "The Prince" talks about two Dukes. One Duke was kind and hence lawless raised its ugly head in his kingdom. The other one was cruel, but there was perfect discipline in his kingdom. So Machiavelli says' About Cruelty and Clemency - Whether it is better to be loved or feared , to be feared is better | ! He even went to the extent of saying that killing is a legitimate instrument of state policy !

Aurobindo was realistic. He said Love can only win in the end, after a titanic clash " The Law of Vishnu ( Love ) cannot prevail, until debts to Rudra ( war ) are paid" !
