Ante Ti, que has hecho tanto por nosotros, que has trabajado, luchado, sufrido, soportado tanto, ante Ti que lo has deseado todo, intentado, preparado, alcanzado todo por nosotros, ante Ti nos postramos y rogamos que nunca olvidemos, ni por un momento, todo lo que te debemos. 9 de diciembre, 1950 LA MADRE http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] “Porque Tú has conquistado, al final del viaje, El elixir del sol que domina las hordas de la Noche. Quien una vez ha visto tu Cara sabe, Oh, Amigo: Que no es un mito que el Amor es uno con la Luz” **** “Este es el Evangelio Aurobindiano según Dilip – San Juan. Es un libro indispensable para todos los admiradores de Sri Aurobindo y de sus obras.” K.R.S. Iyengar http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] INVOCACION A SRI AUROBINDO Al conocerte a Ti, ¿conocemos la Verdad, Aunque sea fragmentaria? Porque aunque Todavía pudiéramos fracasar en vislumbrar tu Nuevo Amanecer que puede aliviar Nuestros famélicos ojos con Su inmaculado Día, Una vez que has hecho que nuestra conciencia medio iluminada Resuene alegremente con tu melodía, ¿No nos llevará su éxtasis a Su Gracia Resolviendo nuestra discordia con tu armonía? Cuando en la esclavitud laberíntica del Destino Buscamos a tientas un Rayo, su sola bendición maravillosa Salva la oscuridad con su canción de luna intacta ¡Repudiados, ay, nuestros ánimos enamorados de la oscuridad! Superando nuestro conflicto y alboroto alentado por nuestra ciencia Vuelas hasta el cielo – no hay dragones que le hagan temblar. Tú has alcanzado lo que solo gana el elegido: La sola visión del cenit que ninguna nube puede cubrir. Porque Tú has conquistado, al final del viaje, El elixir del sol que domina las hordas de la Noche. Quien una vez ha visto tu Cara sabe, Oh, Amigo: Que no es un mito que el Amor es uno con la Luz. D.K.R. http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] Dilip, Este es un poema que escribí anoche para ti. Te envío ahora solo ocho renglones: Todo lo que el ojo ha visto y el oído ha escuchado Es una pálida ilusión de cierta voz más grande y Visión más poderosa; ningún sonido o palabra dulce, Ninguna pasión de matices que alegran el corazón Puede igualarse a esos éxtasis más divinos. Solo una Mente más allá de nuestra mente tiene la comprensión De aquellas armonías aún no imaginadas, El destino y privilegio de los hombres no nacidos. (Después amplió este bello poema en un soneto: LAST POEMS, Pág. 45): Hay una divinidad de las cosas no logradas Para la que las espléndidas ganancias del Tiempo son escoria acumulada, Un lamento parece cercano, un crujido de alas de plata, Invocando la alegría celestial con la pérdida terrenal. Todo lo que el ojo ha visto y el oído ha escuchado Es una pálida ilusión de cierta voz más grande y Más poderosa visión; ningún sonido o palabra dulce, Ninguna pasión de matices que alegran el corazón Puede igualarse a esos éxtasis más divinos. Solo una Mente más allá de nuestra mente tiene la comprensión De aquellas armonías aún no imaginadas, El destino y privilegio de los hombres no nacidos. Igual que los golpes de la lluvia empantanan la maravilla de la rosa, La Tierra espera que se revele esa lejana maravilla. (Extracto de una carta a mí escrita el 28.12.34 que después fue considerada como una profecía trascendental): “Sé con absoluta certeza que el Supramental es una verdad y su llegada es, en la naturaleza misma de las cosas, inevitable. La pregunta se refiere al cuándo y al cómo. Eso también está decidido y predestinado desde alguna parte de arriba; pero está siendo resuelto en medio de un duro enfrentamiento de fuerzas contradictorias.” http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] DEDICATORIA A nuestro amado Presidente, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Oh, noble juez, que se niega a consentir Las pasiones del demonio que oscurecen la paz del cielo de Dios, ¡Y todavía puede entender por qué los hombres son propensos A ilegalizar las alturas y aclamar el espantoso abismo! Tus ventanas están abiertas al amplio firmamento de fe Del blanco puro del alma que ninguna duda puede estropear; Un contemplativo de la luz de la compasión, Cantas: “Solo los verdaderos amantes ganan la Estrella del Amor cuya única alquimia milagrosa Puede convertir la anarquía del Odio en Armonía.” Harikrishna Mandir D.K. Roy Poona – 5 Marzo, 1963 http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] DESHBANDHU C.R. DAS Mi petición a usted es la siguiente: que mucho después de que la polémica sea acallada en el silencio, mucho después de que esta confusión y agitación hayan cesado, mucho después de que él muera y se haya ido, se le considere como el poeta del patriotismo, como el profeta del nacionalismo y el amante de la humanidad. Mucho después de que haya muerto, sus palabras serán repetidas una y otra vez, no solo en India sino a lo largo de mares y tierras lejanas. Por lo tanto digo que el hombre en su situación no solo se presenta ante el Juzgado de este tribunal, sino ante el Juzgado de la Corte Suprema de la Historia. (Discurso del famoso juicio del sabio y al mismo tiempo revolucionario, en Calcuta en 1908). ROMAIN ROLLAND Aquí está Aurobindo, la síntesis más completa que se ha producido hasta hoy de la genialidad de Asia y lo mismo de Europa. (En una carta a Dilip Kumar, fechada el 1 de octubre de 1924). Je vous remercie de ce que vous m’avez écrit au sujet de Sri Aurobindo Ghosh, et du numéro de la revue Arya que vous m’avez envoyé. Je partage entièrement votre manière de voir. Je connais trop peu encore de Sri Aurobindo ; mais ce que je connais me suffit pour voir en lui une des plus hautes forces spirituelles du monde. Que significa : Le doy las gracias por lo que me ha escrito acerca de Sri Aurobindo y también por el número de la revista mensual, Arya. Estoy completamente de acuerdo con su punto de vista. Todavía conozco muy poco de Sri Aurobindo, pero lo poco que conozco me es suficiente para ver en él una de las fuerzas espirituales más elevadas del mundo. http://lasegundafundacion.com/ [email protected] Algunas Palabras (Sobre esta edición) “Mahasaraswati es la perfección en los detalles” – Sri Aurobindo. Sri Dilip Kumar, uno de los discípulos más cercanos de Sri Aurobindo, siguió este Maha Vakya en cada uno de los actos de su vida iluminada por una sensibilidad espiritual. Su sadhana hacia la perfección penetra como un rayo revelador; los rayos de esa luz trascendente pueden sentirse en sus obras creativas inimitables. Ma Indiradevi, la hija-discípulo de Sri Dilip Kumar (Dadaji)* escribió en un homenaje a él: Su trabajo es su adoración, ¡y cómo se esfuerza para hacer esa ofrenda lo más perfecta posible! Esto es evidente en todas sus publicaciones – literatura y música; siempre que se publicaba una nueva edición procuraba pulirla, añadiendo nuevas dimensiones, nuevo material, nuevos puntos de vista y a veces eliminando lo que sintiera que no atañía al tema principal. Esta es la quinta edición revisada y ampliada del “Evangelio Aurobindiano”, “Sri Aurobindo vino a mí” de Dilip Kumar Roy; una obra maestra a decir de todos. La primera edición de este libro fue publicada por el Sri Aurobindo Ashram en 1952. Sri Aurobindo abandonó su cuerpo mortal el 5 de diciembre de 1950. En esos momentos Sri Dilip Kumar, que había consagrado todo a los pies de su Gurú, estaba destrozado. Le dijo a Nirodbaran, su gurubhai en bengalí con la voz más afligida e impotente, “Nirod, tú no sabes realmente lo que he perdido.” Después de algunos meses comenzó a escribir cómo se le aproximó Sri Aurobindo, arrancándole completamente de sus viejas amarras. En 1964 Jaico Publishing House publicó la segunda edición de este libro como edición de bolsillo. Durante la década posterior a la primera edición Dadaji escribió que había discurrido mucha agua por el río de su vida resultando naturalmente en un cambio de perspectiva. En el prólogo a esta edición escribió, “…por tanto en la presente edición me he visto algo obligado contra mi voluntad, a suprimir todo lo que no atañe a mi asunto, es decir, a la delineación de la personalidad multifacética de Sri Aurobindo el intelectual, revolucionario, soñador, yogui, filósofo, poeta visionario y, finalmente en sus propias palabras, “El mensajero de lo incomunicable”. Esta edición fue aclamada por los buscadores espirituales de todas las regiones.

  • Asian Culture BA Semester II Paper I : South Asia
    Asian Culture B.A. Semester II Paper I : South Asia (1870-1919) Department of Western History University of Lucknow (Course Instructor: Prof. Abha Trivedi) The Rise of Revolutionary Nationalism After the outbreak of 1857, it took Indians a while to raise arms against the British Government. The First incident of this kind was remarked in 1872, when Kuka Sikhs of Punjab under the leadership of Satguru Ram Singh ji, demanded for Socio-Religious reforms. Vasudev Balwant Phadke was a renowned Revolutionary. He formed a Revolutionary group called, “Ramoshi'' collaborating Bhil, Koli and Dhaangar tribes. He raided rich and corrupt people so he can help the poor with money and other provisions. On 10th and 11th may 1879, he raided and looted a sum of 1.5 lakh rupees. Therefore, he was branded as Dakait (Robber). He was like the Robin Hood of the 19th century India. He was captured in July 1879 and sentenced to jail. He died 4 years later. After a while, on 22 June 1897, Damodar Hari Chapekar and Bal Krishna Hari Chapekar shot Plague commissioner of Poona, Mr. Walter Charles Rand and his escort officer, Lt. Ayerst dead. They were arrested for assassinating these Officers and sentenced to death and executed by the gallows. Note:- Chapekar brothers were: Damodar Hari, Bal Krishna Hari and Vasudev Hari. Movement in Bengal: The people who initiated movement in Bengal, called themselves as “Bhadralok Samaj” (Noblemen’s Society). The Pioneers of the Revolutionary movement were Barindra Kumar Ghosh and Bhupendar Nath Dutta. Varinder wrote a pamphlet named “Bhawani Mandir”. To teach people how to fight, they published “Rules of Modern Warfare.” A Secret revolutionary organization, Anushilan Samiti was founded in Bengal, 1902.

SIDDIQI MOHAMMAD PAFIQUE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1967 T750 1^0 1' ^^^: ABSTRACT \. The thesis is an attempt to present a conpafatlve study of the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and Iqbal, Some writers,'for iastanoe. Professor P.T* Raju and Dr« 8, 8inha» had pointed out the possibility of such a study. So we have taken up tbis study. Ve have begun this work wilb the belief that 'isolationism* is not good for philosophical spirit which is wedded to free enquiry and accepts no barriers in the pursuit of truth. We further believe tiiat as the ultimate Reality has got mai^ aspects« each theory or p'oint of view approaches it in its own peculiar way. So it is obvious that the synthesis and harmonising of different points of view would enable ua to have a more and more comprehensive vision of the Reality, Besides, it is also a fact that the understanding and appreciation of one another's culture and idtilosoplqr bring differmt peoples closer to one another. Thus weJselieve that oonpa'ative studies in philo8<9hy are likely to serve the above mentioned ends in an effective way. Besides the 'Introduction', the thesis has been divided into five chapters. In the 'Introduction', we have tried to explain the problm and the possibilities of this study.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis studies the construction of a Hindu cultural identity in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in Bengal. The aim is to examine how this identity was formed by rationalising and valorising an available repertoire of images and myths in the face of official and missionary denigration of Hindu tradition. This phenomenon is investigated in terms of a discourse (or a conglomeration of discursive forms) produced by a middle-class operating within the constraints of colonialism. The thesis begins with the Hindu Mela founded in 1867 and the way in which this organisation illustrated the attempt of the Western educated middle-class at self- assertion.

Since the essays were written as indepen­ dent articles published at long intervals rather than as a connected and closely-knit series, several ideas and references to literature, including quotations, were re­ peated. In the present collection of the essays undue repetitions have been removed wherever this could be done wihout major revisions. Since the birth of modern psychology a little over a hundred years ago, views regarding the nature of the human being have followed a certain progressive trend which may be conceived as a dimensional development. Psychology began with a lateral view of the human being as an essentially animal organism capable of certain superior psychological functions which have generally been labelled as "mind".

  • Genesis of Nationalism and Nationalist Movement in a Bengal District
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 26, Issue 2, Series 8 (February. 2021) 26-33 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Genesis of Nationalism and Nationalist Movement in a Bengal District Maldah, 1905-1916 Akhil Ray ABSTRACT: The paper is dealt with the genesis of the regional form of national Consciousness that has been emerged during the year from 1905 to 1916 in one of the regions of Bengal namely Maldah. This period has also witnessed the emergence of a new class of English educated intelligentsia, which had been the chief vehicle for spreading nationalist consciousness in this district. Maldah, as one of the regions of colonial Bengal, proved to be significant in many respect in these years of nationalist struggles and paved the future discourse of this movement. The distinct entity of intelligentsia has been developed in the first two decades of the twentieth century in Maldah and it has spread across the region to influence the minds of the people of whom educated played a crucial role. This paper also analyses the diverse role of the intelligentsia and students in two important movements, one was the anti-partition of Bengal (Swadeshi) in 1905 and the other was the revolutionary terrorism. This has also given birth to a new hope and aspirations for participating in these struggles and proved crucial in the ongoing national movements. KEYWORDS: Maldah, Nationalism, Anti-partion, Terrorism, Swadeshi, Intelligentsia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 13-02-2021 Date of Acceptance: 27-02-2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The emergence and growth of national consciousness and subsequently nationalist movement in Maldah from1905 to 1916 is the main thrust of this paper.
