This is Naipaul for Mughal-lovers: "India shouldn't have fantasies about the past. The past is painful, but it should be faced. We should make ourselves see how far these old invasions and wars had beaten India down and how far we have come. I would say that India in the 18th… Show more
The understanding of VS Naipaul of Indian civilisation has no parallel in the literary world - he foresaw lot of changes we are witnessing today…. What is happening under PM is a sort of revolution- Civilisation, that is India, is finally awake!

15th August is the Birth Anniversary of Sri Aurobindo. He is an example of the mysterious reconciliation of incessant work and uninterrupted rest in the same person, fulfilling the ideal that the Bhagavad Gita sets before us:
“He who sees rest in activity and activity in rest—he is wise among men, he is a yogi and a thorough man of action.”

Sri Aurobindo took the advancements in Western Thought such as the Ubermensch by Nietzsche or Evolution by Darwin and explained them in the Vedantic perspective
Or the growing science of Phonology in the West and showed its limitations unless it incorporated Sanskrit Linguistics

Start with Sri Aurobindo or the Adventure of Consciousness by Satprem. Then move to Synthesis of Yoga, then Essays on the Gita, then The Life Divine, then Secret of the Veda…all by Sri Aurobindo.

Don't believe karma is fine.
But do read it directly from texts and its Commentaries once before ruling it out.
Essays on the Gita by Sri Aurobindo is complex but a good intro.
Most Hindus are misinformed about Karma.
