Many people think of Sri Aurobindo as a Hindu, but he looked upon himself as a member of the Hindu religion for only around twelve of his seventy-eight years. His attitude towards religion in general and Hinduism in particular changed dramatically over the course of his life. At first an agnostic, he became interested in what we would now call Hindu culture (notably the Upanishads, the epics, and the Bhagavad Gita) towards the close of the nineteenth century. For a while this interest was so strong that he spoke of himself as a Hindu, but he never took part in conventional Hindu worship or observed Hindu social practices. During his political career, he made use of Hindu terminology and symbols, but rejected Hindu nationalism. After taking up yoga, he continued to draw inspiration from Hindu scriptural sources, but ceased to identify himself as a Hindu. He insisted that his path of yoga was not a religion, and wrote critically about conventional Hinduism. Yet he remained open to the spiritual possibilities offered by sincere religious practices, and did not prevent his followers from incorporating such practices in their lives.
When Dr. Nadkarni did me the honour of inviting me to deliver this year's Guru Pershad Memorial Lecture,1 I chose a subject I had been thinking about for a fairly long time: Sri Aurobindo's relationship with and ideas about the Hindu religion. I was unaware when I selected this topic that the theme of our conference was "Spirituality and Life." As you know, and as the participants in the seminar have brought out, Sri Aurobindo made a distinction between spirituality and religion. Religion, as he wrote in The Human Cycle, could never be an effective "guide and control of human society" because it tends to become confused with "a particular creed, sect, cult, religious society or Church." The result is intolerance, hatred and persecution. Many of us think of these things as monopolies of the Semitic religions of the West, but Sri Aurobindo reminds us that sectarianism, hatred and occasional persecution have also tarnished the record of "fundamentally tolerant Hinduism."2 If religion plays such a negative role in human life, should it not be rejected altogether? Sri Aurobindo did not think so. The evil, he wrote, "is not in true religion itself, but in its infrarational parts." True religion or "spirituality" becomes religiosity or, simply,

"to revive the form. would not have seemed out of place in an ordinary Hindu setting. he seemed sometimes to encourage it."39 Yet. Such ostentatious worship he specifically prohibited. He spoke openly of the important role that Krishna played in his yogic development. he wrote. the constant effort of the most powerful spiritual personalities kept the soul of the people alive but failed to resuscitate the ancient free force and truth and vigour or permanently revivify a conventionalised and stagnating society." He hoped that "old forms of the different religions" would eventually fall away. The Truth of the Divine which is the spiritual reality behind all religions and the descent of the supramental which is not known to any religion are the sole things which will be the foundation of the work of the future. for example. Indeed. All four letters will be published in full in Letters on Himself and the Ashram. The quoted passages are from two of these letters. might soon find such forms "either falling off or else an obstacle to the free development of their sadhana." He disapproved of people holding to "forms which have no relation to this Yoga — for instance Christians who cling to the Christian forms or Mahomedans to the Namaz or Hindus to the Sandhyavandana in the old way.HEEHS : SRI AUROBINDO AND HINDUISM 43 ram has nothing to do with Hindu religion or culture or any religion or nationality." and conventional forms which "persist although they have no longer any value — e. brief and superficial in their actual effects. The outer form always ended up replacing the inner spirit." he had written years earlier in The Human Cycle." He also discouraged any form of public worship. But Sri Aurobindo did not see such practices in Hindu terms. but he noted at the same time that there was "no restriction in this Yoga to inward worship and meditation only. And Sri Aurobindo did not oppose this. which. 40 . We see this recession in the growing darkness and weakness of India in her last millennium. to modify it." in the end the tendency of the form to overcome the spirit always proved "too strong. He wrote of the Divine Mother using the language of Hindu scriptures. as published in LY 850 and 777. he thought. "For always the form prevails and the spirit recedes and diminishes. 23 December 1933 to 3 January 1934. He distinguished between acts like pranam.

Looking.g. Some of the ceremonial practices that developed in the Ashram. for all Sri Aurobindo's insistence that there was no necessary connection between Hinduism and his yoga. such as prostrating before his photograph in the Ashram's reception room. life in his Ashram retained a recognisably Hindu tone. but he insisted that "absence of all forms is not a rule of the sadhana. Series of four letters." Such people. at the history of religion. People who came from Hindu backgrounds found no difficulty in carrying over various Hindu habits into their yogic practice.
And if they disapproved (as they did disapprove during their lifetimes). is my conception of the matter."41 ANTIMATTERS 2 (2) 2008 What would the founders of the Ashram — no "movement" surely. Sri Aurobindo. ."45 Summing up. Barin noted that Sri Aurobindo allowed a Brahmin priest. Barindra Kumar Ghose. If you reach Krishna you reach the Divine. 45 . because all these things were present during their lifetimes. . Letters of 19 September and 14 May 1938. I don't think that they would be greatly surprised. A way to be opened that is still blocked."44 But during the last twenty years of his life he declined to frame discussions of this truth in terms of Hinduism or any other religion. 42. . On Himself. who had been sent to him by a sannyasi he knew. it is certain that Sri Aurobindo considered Hinduism and other religions to belong to the world's past. He continued to believe that the truth behind the Hindu religion was something that was "contained in the very nature (not superficially seen of course) of human existence. 137." he once wrote. "It is far from my purpose. 1972. in his "supreme catholicity. about its current life? Would they be surprised that not just the reception room but also parts of the courtyard and meditation room of the Ashram are used for public worship at all hours of the day? Would they be surprised to see conventional Hindu symbols displayed.42 Years later. Sri Aurobindo informed a disciple who persisted in directing his devotion towards Krishna even in the Ashram: "I thought I had already told you that your turn towards Krishna was not an obstacle. ritual etc. Pondicherry: Sri Aurobindo Ashram. in Ashram buildings or on the covers of their books? Would they be taken aback that Ashram departments observe Hindu holidays with conventional decorations.

When people wrote to him during the 1930s and 1940s asking about Hindu culture. not a religion to be founded. and he had no desire to perpetuate them. they probably would take a tolerant or at any rate a resigned attitude towards these survivals of conventional religion. or that newcomers are told by self-righteous onlookers to follow Hindu customs while sitting and moving in Ashram spaces? To be frank. Sectarianism is a matter of dogma. . a generation or two after their passing. not of spiritual experience. LY 139. who wrote that Sri Aurobindo "always passed or entered a temple without ever bending his head to the idol. on occasion. though many now seem to regard it as such — have to say. Nevertheless. SAAIUH. both to be published in the forthcoming Letters on Himself and the Ashram. we may distinguish five periods of Sri Aurobindo's engagement with 41 42 43 44 HC 13-14. he expressed a lack of interest in the subject: "I feel as if I have said all I could say on these things."43 There is no question of conventionality when one is speaking of living spiritual experience. As one example of this catholicity.
At the same time he offered those who were proud of their Hindu heritage an unusual opportunity. For the next eight years. from 1893 to 1901." Later. and on occasion wrote from a Hindu standpoint. In answering. prohibit Hindu modes of worship among those who were attracted to them. he made it clear that it was not based on Hinduism or any other religion. but he expected those who needed it to rise above sectarianism and conventionality. But from around 1913. He did not prohibit religious expression. . he retained a deep respect for Indian culture and. we may be doing a disservice both to him and to Hinduism. from 1901 till around 1912. much less a conventionally Hindu one. He included a discussion of Hinduism in his Defence of Indian Culture. like K. What he offered in his major works was a means to achieve an experiential truth that surpasses the doctrines and practices any religion of the past or present. For such things can only act against the full expression of his work. A Hinduism open to the transformative power of this yoga could become a force for transformation in the world. find it easier to remember Sri Aurobindo's early endorsement of Indian religion than his later insistence that the yoga he taught went beyond all conventional religion. They could serve as links between an ancient religion and the new possibilities offered by his path of yoga. From 1920 to 1950. 46 AN 513. he belonged to no religion at all. he was absorbed in the study of Indian culture in general and Indian literature in particular. but he did agree that there had indeed to be a "reintegration of Indian Culture under modern conditions. however. During the first. as his Ashram took shape. he stopped alluding to Hindu themes. Then came a period of around twelve years. the Hindu religious tradition. In the last year of his life. and ceased to write from a Hindu standpoint.

As his yoga developed. Munshi about the need of a "reintegration of Hindu culture" under the aegis of the sanatana dharma. he wrote repeatedly that it was not a religious organisation. The best that could be said was that it was "in consonance with" certain Hindu scriptures though "not limited by any Scripture. M. He did not. By so holding on to an expression that he himself abandoned. when he began to write the yogic and philosophical works for which he is chiefly remembered. which lasted from his childhood till his return from England at the age of twenty-one. he took no interest in Hinduism at all. Throughout this development. so it is not surprising that we find him using Hindu terminology and symbols in some of his political writings. he was asked by the politician K.HEEHS : SRI AUROBINDO AND HINDUISM 45 religion. M. Sri Aurobindo avoided any allusion to the sanatana dharma or to Hinduism. His brief career in politics fell within this period. when he spoke of himself as a Hindu.

Our favorite in this color-changing clothing line is the ColorFusion jersey tee (100 percent cotton) in orange ($25; www.quagmirekids.com), which turns to yellow when heat is applied -- the perfect shade for fall and Halloween. The Fusion tee also comes in purple (changes to pink), green (turns to yellow), and blue (turns to white). Each shirt becomes a canvas for the wearer, allowing them to imprint their doodles (temporarily) -- whether it be a handprint or a game of tic-tac-toe -- simply by using their own body heat. Best of all (for parents), these shirts can be washed and dried just like any other cotton tee.

Paltrow plays a country singer who takes her life in stages

Gwyneth Paltrow is a beautiful, gifted actress with a lovely singing voice, but shes never been more miscast than she is in Country Strong. She plays Kelly Canter, a self-destructive country-music superstar who is just getting out of rehab after a career-wrecking performance in Dallas where she fell off the stage, drunk and five months pregnant, and suffered a miscarriage. Keeping this catastrophe off-screen is one of the few wise decisions made by writer-director Shana Feste ( The Greatest), who apparently is equally a fan of All About Eve and Valley of the Dolls.
Beau, coincidentally, is an aspiring country singer, and joins the opening act of Kellys comeback tour, along with Stanton (Leighton Meester), a former beauty queen afflicted by stage fright. Everyone takes turns singing onstage and sleeping with each other (except for McGraw, who does neither; talk about drawing the short straw). Will Beau press on and wreck Kellys marriage, or will he opt for the pretty, more age-appropriate Stanton? Will Kelly get her act together before their tour returns to Dallas, where everything fell apart? Will anyone remember to feed that little bird, left forgotten for troubling stretches of screen time?
The only things that keep Country Strong from being an outright disaster that makes the movie watchable, really are the insanely catchy songs performed by the cast, all of whom did their own singing. The movie constantly cuts away after the tunes first chorus, which is frustrating, but the snippets you do get to hear are terrific, making you wish Country Strong would set the backstage histrionics aside and put the music front and center, the way Crazy Heart did. Paltrows singing voice is clear and strong, but her performances during the concert sequences are awkward: she looks more like a supermodel strutting down the runway than a musician. That stiffness extends to her work through the rest of the movie, too. In Country Strong, the Oscar-winning Paltrow gets upstaged and outacted by the kid from Tron and the snotty brat from Gossip Girl. Whod have thought?

The Great American Crime Decline / Edition 1by Franklin E. Zimring
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 11/10/2006
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Many theories - from the routine to the bizarre - have been offered to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. Was it record levels of imprisonment? An abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic? More police using better tactics? Or even the effects of legalized abortion? Franklin E. Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

'I'm not looking forward to waking up this early!' Lindsey Vonn joins the Today show as Sochi correspondent after bowing out of Winter Olympics due to knee injury
- The ski champion will report daily from the U.S. during the games
- Vonn had second surgery on her busted right knee earlier this month
- She admitted that it would be hard to watch others compete in alpine skiing during the games in Russia
Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn is joining the Today show as a correspondent for the Sochi Winter Games after she was forced to bow out of the competition due to an ongoing knee injury.
The alpine skier is set to report daily in the U.S. on the early morning show and provide additional coverage for NBC Sports.
Vonn, 29, appeared on the Today show on Tuesday from her home in Pensacola, Florida, with her new rescue dog Leo to discuss her recovery from a recent knee operation and her painful decision to skip Sochi.

Champion skier Lindsey Vonn was joined by her rescue dog Leo on Tuesday as she spoke on the Today Show about her new role as the network's correspondent for the Sochi winter games
Ski champion Lindsey Vonn will be working for NBC as Olympic correspondent during the Sochi winter games but she won't be traveling to Russia
Vonn, who has been dating golfer Tiger Woods since last year, had a second surgery on her busted right knee earlier this month.
She said: 'I feel okay, I've been through this once before so I know the drill. It's a bit complicated because it's pretty major surgery but I've been doing therapy and I'm alright.'
The athlete was asked by Today show presenter Matt Lauer if she had the strength to go through another round of training and rehabilitation to return to competition level.
Vonn said: 'I can do it. After making the decision not to commit in Sochi, I've made the commitment to race through to the next Olympics. I felt a bit rushed for Sochi but I'm going to be racing next year and the year after that and the year after that.'
The Olympic skier said it was difficult to watch Team USA heading for Sochi and gearing up for the games.
With tears in her eyes, she told the Today show: 'It's going to be hard to watch, it's already hard, you guys run commercials every two minutes.
Vonn, 29, appeared emotional when she discussed her painful knee injury and decision not to compete in this year's Winter Olympics
Vonn put herself through a grueling, and often painful, rehab and training program after knee surgery last year but was forced to bow out of the Sochi Games because she was not ready to compete
'It will be hard to watch the alpine events, I always watch the figure skating and the luge but it's hard to watch the alpine.'
However the champion skier was excited about her new challenge as a TV presenter but added: 'I'm not looking forward to waking up this early.'
Vonn revealed on January 7 that despite undergoing major surgery to repair her anterior cruciate ligaments 11 months ago, the same injury had once again flared up.
In a statement, she said: 'I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level.
Lindsey Vonn competes during the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Women's Downhill in December in Val d'Isere, France. An ongoing knee problem, however, left her unable to compete at an Olympic level
'I'm having surgery soon so that I can be ready for the World Championships at home in Vail next February. On a positive note, this means there will be an additional spot so that one of my teammates can go for gold.
'Thank you all so much for all of the love and support. I will be cheering for all of the Olympians and especially team USA!' she added.
Vonn adopted her dog Leo - who also has a bad knee - on the same day she revealed she would be pulling out of February's Olympic Games in Sochi.

okay serious question, the water is shut off in your house, do you attempt and use the clean toilet water for your new bong?
Before he took my jeans off all he said was "no hard feelings from middle school right?"
Before we started fucking, he laid me on the bed, and asked my what my sleep number was, so that i would be "comfy"
I would have to gauge my vagina to make it fit.
I can't believe you're trying to guilt me into a blow j because a tornado made you homeless.
Is it working?
i'm pregaming while finishing a paper on cardio myocyte contractility in mice. i'm kicking finals week's ass right now
so far, I've observed him try to hit on 3 girls, 1 guy and a bar stool. Humanity is amazing from a sober point of view.
There is someone hissing in the hallway. Not even a typo. Not pissing. Hissing. Like a large cat. Or a komodo dragon.
Other than my penis smelling like an ashtray, it went really well.
He asked if I could ever take him seriously, I told him I just like his doggy style.....needless to say I snuck out after an awkward cuddle session... I wont be calling him at 2 am anymore.
Hungover, threw up in a cosmetic case in my car this morning. This is real life.
I was less embarrassed asking him to torrent the teen mom's porn. I'm not gonna ask him to about season 4 of PLL.
Is she okay?
She may want to issue revenge punches, but medically fine.
So it's official the pockets of my work apron exist solely for the purpose of secretly flipping off asshole customers and not losing my job.
I offered the opportunity to grope my boobs for pints. Two girls took me up.

"The controller has made his determination. We should all work together to pass a solid budget," Brown said.
Democratic lawmakers said they were disappointed by the controller's decision. They said Chiang's decision would not help budget negotiations with Republicans.
"The controller is, in effect, allowing legislative Republicans to control the budget process, and I believe that's a very unfortunate outcome that is inconsistent with the intent of Proposition 25," Assembly Speaker John Perez said in a statement. Perez endorsed the measure last fall.
Sen. Sam Blakeslee, a Republican from San Luis Obispo, applauded the controller "on this difficult decision." He has a bill, SCA 12, clarifying that the controller has the authority to determine whether a budget is balanced.
The leader of the Senate had warned Monday that for Chiang to decide whether lawmakers passed a balanced budget sets a bad example for the state's balance of power.
"I think it is a bad precedent ... for anybody in the executive branch to question the quality of a budget passed by the Legislature. Because to do so shifts the balance of powers in what is supposed to be coequal branches of government in a way that I think is dangerous," Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said.
Chiang said he was not playing politics, but following the law.
"The decisions we make in this office are incredibly difficult, but we call it straight. In many senses we view ourselves as a neutral umpire. We call balls and strikes," he said.
Brown has signed into law about $11.2 billion in cuts and fund transfers, but the state still faces a $9.6 billion budget deficit through July 2012. He and Democratic leaders want to extend a series of recent tax hikes to help close the shortfall but so far have been unable to get GOP support for that plan.
Two Republican votes in each house are needed to meet the two-thirds vote threshold for higher taxes or to place the question before voters.
The state's fiscal year starts July 1.

Casey Kasem's wife Jean has chosen to bury the late broadcaster in Oslo, Norway.
The American Dj passed away in June (14), and two months after his death, Jean, who was given control of the star's remains over his children, has opted to fly his body from Montreal, Canada to Norway.
News of Kasem's final burial site was first reported in Norwegian newspaper Vg, and a private investigator for Casey's daughter, Kerri Kasem, confirmed the report to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the Norwegian article, government official Wenche Madsen Eriksson was quoted as saying, "It is arranged. He's going to Oslo," but no further details about Kasem's final resting place have been revealed.
Casey died at a hospital in Tacoma, Washington. After Kerri and her siblings claimed the body had gone missing, it emerged that his remains had been taken from Tacoma and flown to Montreal, just a day before Kerri obtained a court order in a bid to stop her father's body being moved.
A spokesperson for Kerri tells The Hollywood Reporter that she, along with her family, have no clue why Jean is moving their father to Norway.
The rep says, "We don't know what Jean Kasem's plans are. We just know that she wants to keep Casey away from his family and friends and by the looks of it, hiding from law enforcement."
Kerri's brother Mike Kasem, adds, "There is no connection my dad has with Norway. I don't know if Jean has any ties to Oslo. She certainly has never mentioned it in the last 35 years. Check the exhumation laws there; sounds like a possibility that is the reason she will bury him there.
"My dad deserves to be buried where he specifically asked to be buried: Forest Lawn (in Los Angeles). Everyone keeps asking for motives as to why Jean acts how she acts. I don't have an answer."
Perry performed 'Rise' and 'Roar' before Clinton accepted the nomination to be the Democrats' presidential candidate.
Bruce Springsteen will release rare tracks from 1966 in new album 'Chapter and Verse', which will accompany his autobiography 'Born To Run'.
There's still no reunion planned though.
Not broadcast in its entirety since 1967, a full restoration will be played in select cinemas to support Ron Howard's 'Eight Days a Week' touring...

So how DO you play against 1.d4?
The Quen´s gambit declined is a very solid and "easy" way of facing 1.d4. You put a pawn of d5 and defend it developing your pieces. A typical line would be:
the kingsindian or Dutch stonewall or the slav tschebanenko.
1. ...e6 (and secretly hope it transposes to a French)
The Slav or Dutch. Sometimes if I'm feeling insane the Englund gambit. Thinking of trying the Albin, too
...with great alacrity.
benko/blumenfeld and sometimes a nimzo heading for the b5 gambit lines.

Phone scams are nothing new, but one with a new twist was recently reported to the Dalton Police Department. Instead of requesting bank card numbers or other identifying information, this time the scammers told the potential victim that they would show up to pick up the money once it was loaded onto a gift card.
In this case, the scammer called from a number in the 585 area code (upstate New York) and identified himself as a representative of Publisher's Clearing House and told the complainant that he had won a large cash prize and that the prize was to be delivered to his home. The complainant would have to make a payment, however, to receive the prize and that could not be deducted from the prize money.
The complainant was instructed to load $850 onto a Walmart gift card which would be picked up by a "representative" before the prize money would be delivered. The scammer claimed that the prize money would be delivered by a Brinks truck with a police escort. The scammer also told the complainant to visit a web site which they said would validate his claims. The complainant recognized the call as a scam and refused to participate and then called police.
Officials said, "As always, if something sounds like it's too good to be true then it probably is. Never give out your bank information or other identifying information to a cold caller over the phone."
Anyone with information on this scam is asked to contact Detective John Helton at 706 278-9085, ext. 143.
