Aryan Invasion Theory: Neo-colonial captive minds – Devan Nair
» Devan Nair (1923-2005) was a former President of Singapore
“How prophetic”, writes Danino, “if we consider that
this was written some twenty year before the growth of Nazism with its claims
to ‘Aryan kinship’! In his Secret of the Veda, which started
appearing from 1914, Sri Aurobindo called on his fellow countrymen not to be
‘haunted by the unfortunate misconstruction of the Veda which European
scholarship has imposed on the modern mind.’” (The Secret of the Veda,
op. cit., p 193).
“But God,” writes Sri Aurobindo, “works all his
miracles by an evolution of secret possibilities which have been long prepared,
at least in their elements, and in...
Applying the psychological approach which has
led Sri Aurobindo to re-discover the esoteric meaning of the Rig
Veda, the author elucidates the inner meaning...
Sri Aurobindo and Einstein's theory of relativity

Sri Aurobindo is a poet and yogi of the unknown
eternal heights. In his epic Savitri which he has written from a very high
plane of yogic consciousness he finds ‘Space’ as ‘a vast experiment of the
soul, the soul which is a portion of the Divine in the constitution of the
being of man, more to say, the individual poise of the Supreme Divine at the
centre of the being of man. Since the plane of yogic consciousness exists above
the plane of the intellectual consciousness, such a vision of Sri Aurobindo in
the epic is explored and investigated in this paper to know that the scientific
mind is evolving into it. Einstein has demolished the concept of Newton
REVIEW OF “CONCEPT OF MAN IN SRI AUROBINDO'S POETRY”
BY SHRUTI BIDWAIKAR Savitri Era
Devotees
The Concept of Man in Sri Aurobindo’s Poetry by
Dr. Jitendra Sharma is an admiration of and reflection on Sri Aurobindo’s
poetic genius… Sri Aurobindo’s poetry evolved through first expressing his
experiences of his growing contact with the West and then with India
As there are abundant quotes from Sri
Aurobindo’s poems, the reader gets a very refreshing reading of some of
the most important lines on Sri Aurobindo’s concept and vision of man – a
theme which is central to Sri Aurobindo’s vision of the future!
Ethics and Innocence from Critical Animal by Scu
So, I have some links about my last post on flat
ethics: Levi has a response up here, and Peter has an extension here (particularly useful to read in terms of my
discussion on innocence), Alex Reid has more thoughts
on flat ethics (always worth reading), Jeremy Trombley has more
thoughts here (entitled, wonderfully, constructing ethics.
Constructivist Ethics has been the recent name I have been giving to my ethical
work), Adam Robberts has some thoughts on ethics (similar thread, but not as specific
on the issue of flat ethics), also not completely on point but useful is this post by Andre Ling, Craig has a follow up post here (sometimes
I think I miss out by not being on twitter, also go read Craig), Levi has
a round up and more ideas here, and lastly Claire O'Farrell has a great little post up on Badiou's Ethics (which also isn't directly
related, but I think important to all these present discussions). And I
bet while I write this, there will be more posts.
I don't have the time right now to respond to everyone (particularly Levi), but maybe soon. Instead, here is a side discussion about ethics (both flat and otherwise).
This post will still be on my work about ethics, but this is a slightly different route. Karl Steel (whose book, How to Make a Human is really quite wonderful, hopefully more on that later) recently brought me up over at the blog In the Middle… Agamben and Esposito seem to condemn every complex ethical choice as being the return of nazism. Every time there is some proposition that the complexity of plants is somehow a unique ethical challenge for vegetarians and vegans, innocence is at fault there. I could go on, but much of this also very much in line with what Tim, following Hegel, calls the beautiful soul syndrome. However, I certainly can understand Eileen's recoiling of my attacks on innocence, and her fear that I am somehow claiming we are post-evil (I am not trying to claim that). My focus against innocence, and for ethics, is not a cure all. Just like Deleuze and Guattari warning us to "[n]ever believe that a smooth space will suffice to save us", never believe that critiquing innocence will suffice to give us ethical thinking.
