Sir, sometimes I feel that a large mass of India is unaware of the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Even a knowledge about the salient features of this Yoga is bound to attract many young people into the fold of this Path. I personally feel this path is altogether different from any spiritual tradition, and Humanity should know about it more and more. Sir, there are many famous podcast channels which are regularly making spiritual contents, and in none of them have I found any content regarding the teachings of Sri Aurobindo. If you, with your connection, can arrange a podcast on this topic in any channel, a large mass of Humanity will know about the teachings at one stroke. Lastly Sir, I have a huge regard for your effort and dedication to this cause.
Your observations and suggestions are deeply appreciated. It is true that Sri Aurobindo brings a completely new perspective that fills the gaps by answering the unanswered questions that have lingered in the background of the human mind. At the same time, he gives to the tradition itself a greater depth and height by bringing out its unadulterated spirit. Most importantly, he turns the past into a springboard towards the future, linking the stagnant backwaters to the ever-expanding flow of Time.
Yes, India and the world needs the certitude of Sri Aurobindo, the hope and guiding light towards the luminous future. It is inevitable that large sections of humanity will turn towards Sri Aurobindo with passage of time. It will happen organically as humanity grows under the growing pressure of the Supramental consciousness and the silent, unseen influence of the Future whose doors have been opened. Right now, humanity is being prepared to receive the New Light in the right way. As mankind gets ready, the future will precipitate itself more and more. The process of change, as with all authentic change, will be from within outwards.
Yes, certainly podcasts with known channels does have a role, but many of them are too entrenched in the past to admit a new vision. There is an unconscious resistance, as often happens when a new thought enters the world. But it is only a question of Time that this resistance will dissolve. Meanwhile, the new spirit will find ways and means to call those who are ready, as it is already doing so.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
