All life

I post my writings in my blog at Zaadz, and also in The Visionland , my Pod at Zaadz. Further, also I write in my Website The New Horizon and the three Blogs at Blogger, which I have newly started : The New Vision , All choice and Barin Chaki . However, I am still inspired to join and write in a larger and wider blogging network like Sulekha.com, wherein a great personality like Manoj Das is a member and blogger. I always admired him. And besides him, there are some other good writers and bloggers ther at Sulekha.com. Hence, I have come here, with my new Blog Viewpoints. This Blog will be about the Aurobindonian viewpoints, about the New Light, the New Horizon, about the New World that is now being formed in a subtle but sure way, especially after the First Supramental Manifestation on the 29th day of February 1956, about which The Mother [Mira Alfassa] had declared. This creation and formation of the New World, this fulfilmemt of the Vision thereof, is the most important thing that inspires me. Obviously, I am interested in the Supramental Manifestation and the Integral Transformation as visioned and foreseen and foretold by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.According to Sri Aurobindo, Man has to evolve into a Higher Consciousness. But it is not an indefinite consciousness, not any consciousness that we encounter and that seem higher to us, but the Consciousness which is defined and termed by Sri Aurobindo as the Supramental Consciousness, the Supermind. For the Advent of the Supramental Consciousness, Sri Aurobindo says that Man has to ascend from the ordinary plane ot our Mind to various higher levels of Mind, of the universal principle of Mind, and then to the Supermind. Man has to go through the ways of Transformation. And when the human aspiration rises to a forceful height, then only Supermind can be approached.
The Mother [Mira Alfassa] was the Person who caused the Descent of the Supramental Consciousness on earth on the 29th February 1956. The purpose of this Supramental Descent was to make possible the ascending journey of the human being to the Supramental Plane and the further Descent of the Supramental Consciousness on earth to begin and complete the next evolution.

I seek to place below the oft-quoted statement from the Mother:
first supramental manifestation
(During the common meditation on Wednesday The 29th February 1956)
This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you. I had the form of a living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door, which separated the world from the Divine. As I looked at the door, I knew and willed, in a single movement of consciousness, that ‘the time has come’, and lifting with both hands a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow on the door and the door was shattered to pieces. Then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness rushed down upon earth in an uninterrupted flow.

This event is the background now, for all the human activities on earth, for the human progress, for the next evolution, whether one is aware of it or not. That was, and is, the turning point of the human journey.
This was, and is, the purpose of the coming of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on earth : the Manifestation of the Supramental Consciousness here, so that Man can change and transform himself into the Supramental Being. By the half-lit and diminished principle of Mind, Man can rise from the present state of a half-prepared mental animal to a great extent, but cannot attain Perfection, cannot rise to the height of becoming a Supramental Being and cause an end to his miseries, his ignorance, his inconscience, incapacities and death. This transformation has to be integral and involve the physical, mental, emotional and vital aspects of Man, and will have three stages, psychic, spiritual, and supramental. Transformation has to concern both the individual and collective.
This Blog will be concerned with discussions and presentations relating to the Supramental Manifestation and the Integral Way and connected ideas and thoughts and matters. Though the writings here will be mostly around Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and Their Teaching, there will often be references to other thinkers and philosophers and spiritual people also. This Blog may be concerned about other matters also, which may seem to be unconnected, but really nothing is unconnected. Sri Aurobindo has told : All life is Yoga. Everything in the world is related to our endeavours in an integral yoga.
