There is a need to address the spaces within us, within our minds and hearts and dreams and aspirations. We must address these spaces, if we are to do anything of substantial value on the outside.
If you are somebody (or know somebody) who wishes to deep dive within and unearth the galore of potential and unique gifts we all come with, then this Camp is the right place to be.
Come along & surrender to the process. Interact. Agree to what feels right...
...and disagree and discuss till you get to what feels right. Listen and Share. Meet people like you and unlike you. Adjust. Unlearn and learn with the help of the facilitators, the intense atmosphere here in Pondy & your own willingness to partake of this collective journey.

Be prepared for intellectual stimulation, emotional churning and physical rejuvenation as we spend 9 days exploring concepts relevant to our lives, relationships, careers and choices along with a deeper exchange through spaces of silence and quietude. #SriAurobindo#TheMother

Do not come expecting out of this Camp anything but heightened self-awareness, a rhythm of review and silence, clarity of thoughts, channelizing of emotions, memories of spectacular sunrises at the East Coast of India and new friends from across the country. #SriAurobindo

Definitely do not come if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to a Goa trip. The processes we undertake are deep, personal & require immense discipline & respect.

A very hearty appreciation and gratitude to Shri Sivakumar for his sincere and dedicated efforts to explain the rather difficult philosophic work in a simplistic and comprehensible manner. #SriAurobindo#TheLifeDivine#TheMother
A thread for spiritual aspirants (please do read till the end and go through the attachments), immaterial of any caste, creed or religion, as
All of us have the Divine seed in us.

It is a matter of time(days, months, years or lifetimes) that it sprouts and reaches the ultimate goal, ie, meeting the Divine or rather as in Integral Yoga, being one with the 'One'.
And I am sure each one of us will be having that yearning to reach that higher calling.

I am really grateful to @NAN_DINI_ Ma’am, for allowing me to post her incisive, judiciously worded, extremely well-written blog on #TheKashmirFiles, a movie by @vivekagnihotri which has now caught the attention of India & the World, & given us some serious food for thought.
2/25
My heartfelt gratitude to Vivek Sir, Anupam Sir and the entire team too. @NAN_DINI_ Ma'am’s blogs (nandinibahri-dhanda.blogspot.com) are a written and visual treat in themselves, crisp, razor-sharp, well-written and always thought-provoking. The blogs are an art-form in itself.
3/25
This issue was so emotive & currently in our collective discussion, that I took her permission to post the blog in tweet-form.
If the plight of our Kashmiri brethren is not recognized now, in form of this brilliant movie #TheKashmirFiles, probably it never will. @NAN_DINI_
NO attempt at constructing a biography of #SriAurobindo can be free from a powerful inhibition exercised by the Master’s caution that nobody could write about his life because it had not been on the surface for men to see.

Notwithstanding this caveat, numerous biographies have been written and the earliest one in English was published, obviously without his knowledge, in the year 1911, only a year after he came over to Pondicherry.(1)
2) I feel these two essays summarize the events the world is undergoing in the present time, ie, the way we have lived our lives till now, and the way we shall live in future, due to the havoc caused by this pandemic. It is as if, nature found a way of cleansing itself.
“All would change if man could once consent to be spiritualised; but his nature mental and vital and physical is rebellious to the higher law. He loves his imperfections.”
And also, “the greatest force is born out of the greatest difficulty.”
