The Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram: Co-Creator of the Integral Yoga (Lexington Books, 2024) analyzes the contributions of the Mother (née Mirra Alfassa, 1878-1973) to the Integral Yoga that she and Sri Aurobindo (né Aurobindo Ghose, 1872-1950) co-created for his ashram. Scholars have ignored Mirra for Aurobindo, which prevents a full understanding of their spiritual practice. Scholars have also avoided examining work Aurobindo produced after they began their partnership in 1920 until his death in 1950, and privilege the written output in his journal Arya from 1914 to 1921. In this initial fertile period, he put forth his innovative teaching about what he called the “Supermind,” an emergent human faculty that he said would manifest a new humanity and a new earth through Mirra's body. Mirra claimed that after his death in 1956 this manifestation happened as he foretold. Mirra's work in the ashram from his death until hers in 1973 reveals important ways that she both fulfilled and changed Aurobindo's initial vision. These developments are chiefly based on her experiences of mental dissolution while her body gained a new supramental form and consciousness. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session on December 18 -The Nifty also closed below the 50-Day Moving Average (DMA), which is around the mark of 24,400 after a fall of over 300 points. 49 out of the 50 Nifty stocks ended with losses on Tuesday with Cipla being the only outlier that barely managed to stay afloat above the flat line. 41% of the 330-point fall that the Nifty saw on Tuesday came from its top five laggards - HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, TCS, ICICI Bank, and L&T. Even Reliance Industries played its part in taking the Nifty lower. -It remains to be seen whether any relief is forthcoming from the institutional end on Wednesday as a lot of the IPO funds locked up would be refunded by Tuesday evening. While no such relief was seen on Tuesday when the process began, the bulls would rest their hopes on Wednesday. -Wednesday's session will see three listings, that of MobiKwik, Vishal Mega Mart and Sai Life Sciences. While MobiKwik and Vishal Mega Mart saw healthy subscription figures, Sai Life saw a subdued response but may still list at a premium to its IPO price. -Stocks to track: Aurobindo Pharma, JSW Energy, Ambuja Cements, Exide Industries, insurance stocks, Aditya Birla, Edelweiss Financial -Global markets are on the edge ahead of key central bank decisions, including the US Federal Reserve, the impact of which will be seen during Thursday's trading session. The Bank of Japan will also be announcing its monetary policy decision on Thursday. Asian shares turned higher this morning, shrugging off Wall Street's modest declines as traders braced for the Federal Reserve's final policy decision of the year.

durée : 00:26:37 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Catherine Liber - Il s'agit du portrait du philosophe hindou Sri Aurobindo par Jean Amrouche. - réalisation : Virginie Mourthé

En Inde, c'est une ville au nom évocateur, fondée en 1968 par une poignée d'Indiens et de hippies du monde entier. Auroville, près de Pondichéry, est un havre de paix dédié au yoga, à l'écologie et à la spiritualité. Mais le gouvernement a décidé de la faire grandir à coups de bulldozers et de décrets autoritaires. Résultat, cette utopie portée par 4 000 habitants n'est plus que l'ombre d'elle-même. De notre envoyé spécial à Auroville, Pas loin du Matrimandir, ce bâtiment symbolique d'Auroville, en Inde, dédié à la méditation en forme de sphère dorée, Lata, une géographe indienne installée à Auroville depuis 2003, nous guide à travers la forêt devant une grande route en construction. « Ici, vous pouvez voir ce qu'ils ont fait, on dirait une carrière ou une mine. Il y avait un lac et une forêt à cet endroit, se désole-t-elle. Et désormais, on dirait que l'on va y construire une ligne de chemin de fer qui ne mène à rien et qui ne sert à rien. Même sur les routes qui ont déjà été construites, on ne voit pas de véhicules ! »Depuis l'arrivée d'une nouvelle secrétaire à la tête d'Auroville, les chantiers se multiplient dans la nature. Au grand désespoir des habitants, qui prennent cependant le risque de se faire expulser d'Auroville s'ils contestent, voire d'Inde, certains étrangers ayant vu leur visa refusé. « Ils disent qu'ils n'ont aucune obligation de partager leurs plans avec le public et que ceux qui s'y opposent sont des criminels, dénonce Lata. Et c'est comme ça partout lorsqu'on essaie de poser des questions ou de manifester. On est très loin du projet d'Auroville, celui d'une société basée sur la fraternité, la collaboration et l'unité. »À lire aussiInde: expulsion de l'un des architectes français de la cité utopique d'Auroville« Faire emprisonner les Aurovilliens, ratiboiser les forêts, construire des routes qui ne vont nulle part... »François Gautier est un habitant de la première heure, arrivé en 1969, un an après l'inauguration d'Auroville par une mystique française, proche du philosophe indien Aurobindo. Il conteste ce développement brutal qui ne correspond pas aux aspirations écologiques de la ville. « Faire emprisonner les Aurovilliens, ratiboiser les forêts, construire des routes qui ne vont nulle part, mentir à tout le monde… Aujourd'hui, on veut mettre 50 000 personnes sur 3 km2, souligne-t-il. Auroville a présenté ce plan au gouvernement indien, qui a mis son tampon. Mais en réalité, Auroville s'est développée organiquement. »Depuis sa maison aux allures seventies, typique d'Auroville, François Gautier appelle à revenir aux idéaux et à l'énergie fondatrice de cette cité utopique sans égal dans le monde. « À l'époque, c'était un peu comme au Far West ! On trouvait un endroit, on s'installait et une communauté se formait, se rappelle-t-il. Cette forêt que l'on voit aujourd'hui a été plantée par ces pionniers. Beaucoup sont morts ou sont partis. Et donc cet enthousiasme, cette foi, se sont un peu estompés. Mais ça reste quelque chose d'extraordinaire, le résultat de ces terrains arides qui ne valaient rien ! »  Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'étrangers qui ont dédié leur vie à Auroville partent ou songent à partir face aux menaces et à la dégradation de l'environnement, dans tous les sens du terme. Mais le gouvernement campe sur son plan de croissance et les promoteurs affluent, attirés par des terrains qui ont pris beaucoup de valeur.À écouter dans Grand reportageAuroville, cette cité utopique aux projets réalistes

Citações e trechos retirados do livro “Letters on Yoga”, de Sri Aurobindo. Aurobindo Akroyd Ghosh, Ghose, ou Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950) foi um filósofo, poeta, yogue e grande mestre espiritual indiano. Essencialmente, Aurobindo ensina o mesmo que os antigos sábios da Índia: que por detrás das aparências do universo existe a Realidade, a base da vida de todas as coisas, o único e eterno, e que para enxergar essa Verdade, um novo princípio de consciência deve emergir da mente ordinária, a Supramente. Sua profunda compreensão emergiu devido as suas próprias práticas espirituais, para as quais ele encontrou vívidas descrições alegóricas nos Vedas. Assim, Aurobindo formulou os princípios de um “Yoga Integral”, unificando os princípios das diversas linhas em um todo harmônico e coerente.

In The Metaphysics of Meditation: Sri Aurobindo and Ādi Śaṅkara on the Īśā Upaniṣad (Bloomsbury 2024), Stephen Phillips argues that the two titular Vedānta philosophers are not as opposed as commonly thought. His book is structured as a series of essays on Aurobindo and Śaṅkara's analysis of the early, important, and brief Īśā Upaniṣad, also including a new English translation of the text along with a translation of Śaṅkara's commentary thereupon. Philosophically, the book investigates questions about what is metaphysically fundamental, the epistemology of mystical, meditative practices such as yoga, the limitations of human language in expressing the ineffable—and the role of poetry in these efforts, and the problem of evil facing even panentheistic monists such as Advaita Vedāntins. In many ways an introduction to Advaita Vedānta, The Metaphysics of Meditation also includes new translations of Śaṅkara's theodicy from his Brahmasūtra commentary and his discussion of the disciplines (yogas) of meditation and action in his Bhagavad Gītā commentary.

Poemas selecionados do livro “Collected Poems”, de Sri Aurobindo. Aurobindo Akroyd Ghosh, Ghose, ou Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950) foi um filósofo, poeta, yogue e grande mestre espiritual indiano. Essencialmente, Aurobindo ensina o mesmo que os antigos sábios da Índia: que por detrás das aparências do universo existe a Realidade, a base da vida de todas as coisas, o único e eterno, e que para enxergar essa Verdade, um novo princípio de consciência deve emergir da mente ordinária, a Supramente. Sua profunda compreensão emergiu devido as suas próprias práticas espirituais, para as quais ele encontrou vívidas descrições alegóricas nos Vedas. Assim, Aurobindo formulou os princípios de um “Yoga Integral”, unificando os princípios das diversas linhas em um todo harmônico e coerente.

In today's very special podcast we will re-air a discussion that was originally recorded and produced by our good friends at the East-West Psychology Department of the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for their own program, the East-West Psychology Podcast (https://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/). The discussion itself is an introduction to a set of two conferences to be held at the California Institute of Integral Studies in celebration of “150 Years of Sri Aurobindo, the Pioneer of Integral Consciousness.” The conferences will take place over the course of a week, starting on September 23, 2023 and concluding on September 30. This discussion is hosted by the East-West Psychology Podcast producers, Stephen Julich and Jonathan Kay. In this conversation, Circle for Original Thinking host and current Jean Gebser Society president, Glenn Aparicio Parry is a guest, along with Debashish Banerji, Chairman of the East-West Psychology Department. We hope this program will provide our listeners with some background on these very important conferences, and the life and work of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) who was the key figure in the development of a form of spiritual practice he called  “integral yoga,” as well as the life and work of the Swiss philosopher and visionary, Jean Gebser, author of the magnum opus, The Everpresent Origin. THE CONFERENCES: The first conference, “Sustainability and Contemplative Civilization: The Integral Vision of Sri Aurobindo,” organized by the East-West Psychology Department (EWP) and the Asian Contemplative and Transcultural Studies concentration (ACTS), will engage with the possibilities, problems and potential of a sustainable civilization based on a contemplative praxis of deep relationality and extended identity as implicit in the vision and teaching of Sri Aurobindo and as explicit in the experimental community of Auroville.   The second conference, “The Emergence of Integral Consciousness: Jean Gebser, Sri Aurobindo, Carl Jung, Teilhard De Chardin,” organized by the Jean Gebser Society, will address the coming integral age as foreseen by Gebser, Aurobindo, Jung, and Teilhard de Chardin. Each of these visionary thinkers in their own way foresaw the emergence of a new structure of consciousness beyond the limits of rational thought. Debashish Banerji is a Bengali scholar and Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures and the Doshi Professor of Asian Art at CIIS. He is also the Program Chair for the East-West Psychology department. Prior to CIIS, he served as Professor of Indian Studies and Dean of Academics at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles, CA.Stephen Julich is currently core faculty in the East-West Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies where he teaches classes Jungian Depth Psychology and Western Mysticism, Magic and Esotericism.Jonathan Kay is a transcultural musician, and is currently a PhD student in the department of East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr. Debashish Banerji.We wish to again state our very deep gratitude to the people at the East-West Psychology Department and the California Institute of Integral Studies for the critical work that they do every day, and their generosity in sharing the content of this episode with Circle for Original Thinking. For more information about the conferences:https://www.ciis.edu/events/150-years-of-sri-aurobindo-pioneer-of-integral-consciousnessAlso please visit:https://www.ciis.edu/https://www.ciis.edu/academics/department-east-west-psychologyhttps://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/https://gebser.org/www.jonathankay.ca

Aurobindo Ghosh, Assistant Professor of Finance at the Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University, joins Kopi Time to talk about his longstanding research on inflation expectations and cost of living. He explains the decade-plus work,  done in conjunction with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and DBS Bank, to gauge inflation expectations among Singapore's residents. Over the long term, survey results have held steady, reflecting well anchored inflation expectations, but they have been volatile in recent years, in line with global developments. How is the survey conducted; what methodological challenges do they throw up; what are the key insights from all these years' of surveys; is there a difference between inflation expectations and cost of living perceptions? What are the policy implications? Prof Ghosh addresses all this and more on this topic of the moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

India Policy Watch: Those Mind GamesInsights on issues relevant to India— RSJRegular readers might have noticed the absence of posts analysing the political economy and politics in general in our editions of late. This isn't intentional. There's not much to write about. There is a strange sense of stasis all around. Every move, every act is a chronicle of a future foretold. This inertness stems from a complete absence of ferment in the political landscape. The external factors that could impact politics, like the economy or national security, appear stable. And those directly in the fray have to contend with a political juggernaut backed by a fawning media that takes no prisoners. It is a complete mismatch. So, what can one write about except rallies, speeches and opinion pollsInto this state of ennui, this week walked the Court of chief judicial magistrate HH Verma, Surat. Here's the Mint reporting on this:“The Surat District Court sentenced Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to two years of imprisonment in the criminal defamation case filed against him over his alleged 'Modi surname' remark. The Congress leader was later granted bail by the court.The court of Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Varma, which held Gandhi guilty under Indian Penal Code sections 499 and 500, also granted him bail and suspended the sentence for 30 days to allow him to appeal in a higher court, the Congress leader's lawyer Babu Mangukiya said.The case was filed against Rahul Gandhi for his alleged “how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?" remarks on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi. The Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad made the alleged remarks while addressing a rally at Kolar in Karnataka ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.”In a remarkable feat of speed and agility, the Lok Sabha Secretariat disqualified Rahul Gandhi as a member of Lok Sabha the next day. As the Hindustan Times reported:“Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been disqualified as a member of Lok Sabha a day after the Surat court convicted him for two years in a defamation case. However, he was granted a 30-day bail in the case to allow him appeal in a higher court. The Lok Sabha secretariat said in a notification that he has been disqualified from the day of the conviction under the Constitution's Article 102(1)(e) read with Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act.As a next step, the Wayanad MP will have to appeal to the higher court seeking a stay on the conviction, in order to prevent the disqualification and the Congress said it will follow the procedure to move to a higher court.”Look, there's a tired old way of looking at all of this. And that's what the discourse has been about this over the past few days. The opposition reminds us how there's an undeclared emergency at this moment in India. Dissent is being suppressed, the slightest criticism of the PM or his party is seen as an affront to the nation, and the state machinery is fairly quick in settling scores on those not falling in line. There is also the eternal optimism of a certain section of the commentariat that suggests that Rahul Gandhi has rattled the BJP with his Bharat Jodo yatra. And this is the response to keep him in check. I'm sure there is an alternate universe where this is all true. But none among us is turning into Michelle Yeoh anytime soon to enter that multiverse. As I have mentioned earlier, there's still space for the opposition, as the response to the yatra shows. But Rahul Gandhi neither has the enterprise nor the ideas to turn that into electoral success. On the other hand, the BJP and its supporters initially argued that a sitting MP cannot make disrespectful remarks about the PM. Apparently, it is not done, especially when the PM is feted the world over for his leadership. Soon old videos popped up that showed we have a hoary tradition of calling our past PMs names. I'm old enough to remember the memorable rhyming metre of ‘gali gali mein shor hai, Rajiv Gandhi chor hai' that rented the air in 1989 when I first followed a general election in my life. The tack changed. So, now you have the charge that Rahul Gandhi was denigrating an entire OBC community with that statement and triggering possible social unrest. This is a failure to understand syllogism 101. Even if one were to accept the dubious statement that ‘all thieves have Modi surnames', it doesn't follow that ‘all with Modi surnames are thieves'. The more nuanced lot is taking the line that it is the courts that are letting the law take its own course, and we shouldn't read anything more into this. It is possible this is true, but we might again be talking of the multiverse here. Leaving that aside, we now have WhatsApp experts who look for a masterstroke in every decision of the ruling party now suggesting that this is a convoluted plan to give Rahul Gandhi a convenient leg up to be the face of the opposition in 2024 and then decimate him in the elections. If only there were a Nobel prize for politics… Beyond the noise, I see three overlapping patterns here, two of which have been strengthening over the past few years and one that is new.First, there's that interesting paradox of narrative domination that is at play here. The paradox is the more you start dominating the narrative and the media, the greater your anxiety about a single truth bomb bringing down your carefully constructed image. This is why there's only a one-way ride to ever greater control of media and opposition voices. Once your ears get used to the perfect melody of your own symphony, the slightest variation seems terribly jarring. And so you overreact reflexively to the slightest provocation because, to your ears, it sounds big. Two things follow from here. Your reaction tends to get disproportionately bigger and harsher. And you create a chilling effect that shuts more people up further. This is all been in play in the last few years. The way to look at the Rahul Gandhi episode is to confirm the anxiety of narrative dominance and also to send out a message if there was any more needed, that no one can get away with direct criticism any more. This isn't a new phenomenon in India, but the speed and the reach of social media make it a kind of dominance that will be difficult to upend, unlike in the past. Second, there's always a desire to test how far charisma can stretch the ‘reality distortion field' it creates among the collective who have subscribed to it. This is an ongoing natural process of those who have a hold on their ‘people' to see how much more of a break from convention can they (the people) rationalise in their unqualified belief in the leader. It is a useful test of the relevance of charisma, and quite interestingly, the only way to build more charisma is to put it to test with more outrageous claims on people. The more you can get away with, the more your charisma. To quote Weber on charisma:“Charisma knows only inner determination and inner restraint. The holder of charisma seizes the task that is adequate for him and demands obedience and a following by virtue of his mission. His success determines whether he finds them. His charismatic claim breaks down if his mission is not recognised by those to whom he feels he has been sent. If they recognise him, he is their master – so long as he knows how to maintain their recognition through ‘proving' himself. But he does not derive his ‘right' from their will, in the manner of an election. Rather the reverse holds: it is the duty of those to whom he addresses his mission to recognise him as their charismatically qualified leader.”   This business of ‘proving' himself becomes more difficult the longer you continue in office. Because there will be some dissatisfaction among your people on what goals you aren't achieving. Some of this is evident in how a vocal minority (with Subramanium Swamy as some kind of a patron saint) seems to be disgruntled and pushing for more wins in the ideological and cultural wars. Lastly, I sense there's a deliberate desire to take certain actions that will be picked up by western media who will bemoan the loss of liberal values in India. This will be a useful rallying point to build a narrative about how there's still an anti-India global left that's making a last attempt to sabotage a rising India. There's nothing to suggest anyone is really worrying about a rising India till we hit some threshold of a middle-income economy with the accompanying economic and political heft. But who cares to test such grand conspiracy theories? It sounds right, and it fits the narrative that our greatest enemies are our own people who are in opposition and who, for power, will derail India. It looks like a winning narrative to me in the run-up to the elections. Also, I can see that there's a desire to bring a raft of such 'western liberal' values and set them up in a false confrontation with ‘civilisational' values of India. And then use the inevitable electoral victory in 2024 to claim that the people of India have spoken and we don't need the west to judge us using their discredited liberal values. We have our long dharmic history, and we will judge ourselves on its parameters. I have written about this point in the past using the examples of others who have tried to search for this civilisational counterpoint to western enlightenment, including Aurobindo, Kosambi, Vivekananda and Hazari Prasad Dwivedi. All of them ended up with some kind of ecclesiastical or spiritual quest instead of a tangible values doctrine that could guide political, economic or social actions. I don't think those who speak in such civilisational terms today have dived as deep as these scholars of the past have. Atleast I haven't come across that kind of modern scholarship. My sense is their motivation is to continue to discredit western liberal thought for either political gains or to seek a kind of revanchist utopia with its foundations built on caste. In a way, I expect more of this desire to have an ideological battle in the run-up to 2024 and then claim a moral victory on the back of the electoral victory. I'm not sure this kind of false showdown has ever led to anything good as the experience of the 20th century or that of Turkey, Russia or China of late has shown. But there's an appeal among the ideologically driven to go down that path. To pit the past against the future and hope we will discover the glory in the past to build a future that is better and different from the past. That we will be able to rise over this and get the best of the past and dream up a future that's uniquely our own. This looks good on paper, but it gets muddied when put into action, as history has shown us over and over again. I will leave you with Kafka's parable from Hannah Arendt's 1961 book of essays, Between Past and Future:“Kafka's parable reads as follows:He has two antagonists: the first presses him from behind, from the origin. The second blocks the road ahead. He gives battle to both. To be sure, the first supports him in his fight with the second, for he wants to push him forward, and in the same way the second supports him in his fight with the first, since he drives him back. But it is only theoretically so. For it is not only the two antagonists who are there, but he himself as well, and who really knows his intentions? His dream, though, is that some time in an unguarded moment – and this would require a night darker than any night has ever been yet – he will jump out of the fighting line and be promoted, on account of his experience in fighting, to the position of umpire over his antagonists in their fight with each other.”That jumping out of the line happens only in dreams.    PolicyWTF: Fretting Over FreightsThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?— Pranay KotasthaneThe difference in the economic trajectories of southern and northern India is an endless fountain. Every person has a different causal story to explain how this economic divergence came into being. As you would expect, some narratives are more popular than others. Some South Indian exceptionalists claim that higher investments in education and health explain the difference. Some of them seek refuge in vague arguments about cultural superiority. The opposing side, in turn, blames repeated invasions and colonial policies such as the zamindari system.It's tough to test some of these arguments. Some of them are biased intuitions masquerading as reasons. For some serious analytical work on this topic, I recommend this underrated book, The Paradox of India's North–South Divide, by Samuel Paul and Kala Sridhar. We had earlier discussed insights from this book in edition #148.Among the reasons for the divergence is a policyWTF that makes a cameo appearance in policy conversations: the Freight Equalisation Scheme (FES). Introduced at the height of its socialist fantasies in 1956, FES was a union government policy for pursuing 'balanced industrial development' (Jan Tinbergen says hello). Under this policy, the government subsidised long-distance transport of key inputs such as iron, fertilizers, cement, and steel in the hope that companies in all states would access these inputs at the same costs. The story goes that FES was detrimental to the resource-rich eastern states of Bihar, MP, Odisha, and West Bengal. These states' manufacturing output in the early years of independence was higher than that of Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Punjab. But FES nullified their comparative advantage over time and contributed to the economic divergence.Like other intuitions, this narrative, although compelling, needs a lot more evidence. I, for one, was biased against this explanation. I did not believe that a policy equalising freight transportation could have significant downstream effects that persist over time. And so, I have long been in search of studies that put the FES under the microscope. A recent paper Manufacturing Underdevelopment: India's Freight Equalization Scheme, and the Long-run Effects of Distortions on the Geography of Production, by John Firth and Ernest Liu, is one such analysis that helps put FES into perspective. I summarise and annotate their findings below.One, the study finds that the negative effect of FES exists for real. It did dampen the manufacturing prospects of resource-rich regions. The authors write:We find evidence consistent with these claims: FES achieved exactly the opposite of its purported goal, exacerbating inequality between western India and the resource-rich east. Specifically, we show that FES led industries using the equalized iron and steel to move farther from the bases of raw materials production in eastern India.Two, as a hat-tip to Hayek's warning against centralised design and price manipulation, the authors find evidence that FES had significant unintended consequences for downstream industries.even small geographic distortions in input prices can help one region to nose ahead of another and exploit this advantage to steal industrial activity. Over the long term, this can result in substantial effects on the geographic distribution of production.Three, the consequences of distortionary policies like FES are not immediately visible and hence might lead policymakers to underestimate the negative effects.Our results show that the transition under FES was gradual. Even though the policy had little effect over its first 10 to 15 years, it led to steady movements of iron and steel using industries out of eastern India, and significant overall effects by the time FES reached its culmination in 1990.Four, the repeal of FES in 1991 and complete abolition in 2001 had the opposite effect. Industries again went back to the resource-rich states, albeit this reversal was modulated by pre-existing input-output linkages that were built in the FES era.We find in the case of FES, though, that repealing the policy led industry to move back toward the sources of iron and steel just as quickly as it left. Indeed, the results on implementation and repeal also complement one another, with the alignment between these results building confidence that, in both cases, the distortions related to FES cause industries to move across space in the manner described.So, FES should be filed in the folder "Govenments are not omniscient". This experience should make us pause when governments make grand designs to interfere in markets. Good intentions are no guarantee for good policies.Global Policy Watch: Dil Maange More than MooreInsights on global policy issues relevant to India— Pranay KotasthaneGordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, died this week. His eponymous prediction, once a footnote in engineering textbooks, has now become commonplace. More so today, as semiconductors have become a test bed for industrial policy and a front for geopolitical confrontation between China and the US. So, let's discuss some less-known concepts about Moore's Law.Moore's Law is actually an observation, a conjecture that has stayed true over the last 50 years. Gordon Moore, writing for the magazine Electronics in 1965, claimed that the number of transistors in the chips that Fairchild was making seemed to double every two years. He made this prediction when an IC contained 64 transistors. A testament to his foresight, an Apple A14 chip today has 134 million transistors per square millimetre.There are several versions restating this prediction. More transistors per IC implies that the cost of implementing a functionality halves roughly every two years. That's the reason that the retail prices of electronic products fall rapidly even as newer products become faster and better.Another variant of Moore's prediction has come to be known as Rock's Law. It states that the capital cost of a semiconductor chip fabrication plant doubles every four years, limiting the progression of Moore's law.That Moore's prediction became a law is a testimony to human ingenuity and decentralised innovation. For decades, it has served as a pole star for the semiconductor industry. The "law" became a benchmark that focused efforts of the entire fraternity.Several obituaries of Moore's Law have been written before. But every single time, it was defied, not just by technological improvements but also by economics. The comparative-advantage-based specialisation starting in the late 1980s was crucial for keeping Moore's Law alive. Companies kept becoming exceptionally excellent in one specific segment of the IC supply chain, leaving other parts to a different set of companies. The vertically integrated design model faded away in favour of a fabless-foundry-assembly model, unleashing unmatched creativity. This happened not because of some anti-trust regulation to break vertical integration but evolved organically as a result of market-based incentives. I wish people understood this aspect of Moore's Law better. It's not just about technological progress.I often wonder if this ethos of Moore's Law can be transported to other spheres. In recent times, Sam Altman of OpenAI makes a similar case:The best way to increase societal wealth is to decrease the cost of goods, from food to video games. Technology will rapidly drive that decline in many categories. Consider the example of semiconductors and Moore's Law: for decades, chips became twice as powerful for the same price about every two years... In the last couple of decades, costs in the US for TVs, computers, and entertainment have dropped. But other costs have risen significantly, most notably those for housing, healthcare, and higher education. Redistribution of wealth alone won't work if these costs continue to soar...“Moore's Law for everything” should be the rallying cry of a generation whose members can't afford what they want. It sounds utopian, but it's something technology can deliver (and in some cases already has). Imagine a world where, for decades, everything–housing, education, food, clothing, etc.–became half as expensive every two years.Moore's prediction was enabled by a combination of technological and economic factors. Can it become a guiding light for other fields? We hope so.

For 5 years, we have experimented with technology, people, and process controls at RELX, all designed to create an integrated framework for phishing mitigation. I'll speak about technology we've adopted (and that we haven't). I'll speak about failures in industry efforts (e.g., digital signatures). I'll speak about behavioral science and how we have adopted its concepts to drive behavior change. I'll speak about the "human is the weakest link/humans are our strongest link" debate raging in the industry today. I'll tell you where we still struggle as a company and as an industry. This topic will drive conversation, because everyone gets phishing emails; and everyone thinks they have a solution. About the speaker: Aurobindo Sundaram is the Head of Information Assurance & Data Protection at RELX, a global provider of information and analytics for professional and business customers across industries.

In this episode we speak to Patrick Beldio, academic professor, sculptor, devotee of Mehar Baba and Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, about the intersection of theology and religious studies in his work. We discuss the nuances of the scholar-practitioner model of scholarship and how one can approach an integral pedagogy from this perspective. Stephen and I read a chapter from Patrick's upcoming book Mirra Alfassa: Divine Mother and Child of Tomorrow, titled Spiritual Dualite: Mirra's Intellectual and Spiritual Influence on Sri Aurobindo, and we discuss with Patrick how he approached building a methodology for this work. The conversation explores the deep rooted Western influences in the formation of Integral Yoga and cross-cultural approaches to symbology in the Mother's life. We end by briefly discussing Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's vision of the supramental manifestation and the transformation of the human into a radially new androgynous sexless being. Patrick Beldio is a scholar of comparative religion and theology with a focus on Hindu-Christian studies, the Integral Yoga of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Meher Baba and the Chishti Sufi lineage in the West, and Franciscan Spirituality, with sub-interests in art, gender, and sustainability studies. His current book project is Mirra Alfassa: Mother & Child of the Divine of Tomorrow (working title), which critically analyzes the role and influence of Mirra (aka the Mother, 1878-1973) on the Integral Yoga that she and Aurobindo Ghose (aka Sri Aurobindo, 1872-1950) co-created. The book evaluates Mirra's influence on Aurobindo's spiritual practice and teaching and critically describes the nature of their relationship, intellectually and spiritually. It also focuses on how Aurobindo influenced Mirra's teaching in Pondicherry, India and how she developed their yoga tradition after his passing and then explores her relevance today. Beldio is also a professional sacred artist with a studio at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, DC. His sculptures are in private and public collections across the USA. www.reunionstudios.com The EWP Podcast credits East-West Psychology Podcast Website Connect with EWP: Website • Youtube • Facebook Hosted by Stephen Julich (EWP adjunct faculty, program manager) and Jonathan Kay (PhD student, EWP assistant) Produced by: Stephen Julich and Jonathan Kay Edited and Mixed by: Jonathan Kay Introduction music: Mosaic, by Monsoon on the album Mandala Music at the end of the episode: Sound - Space Entanglement (4x + 1), from becoming - song: contemplative transnomadic sono - fictioning by Jonathan Kay Introduction Voiceover: Roche Wadehra Learn more about your ad choices.

Patrick Beldio is a scholar of comparative religion and theology with a focus on Hindu-Christian studies, the Integral Yoga of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Meher Baba and the Chishti Sufi lineage in the West, and Franciscan Spirituality, with sub-interests in art, gender, and sustainability studies. His current book project is Mirra Alfassa: Mother & Child of the Divine of Tomorrow (working title), which critically analyzes the role and influence of Mirra (aka the Mother, 1878-1973) on the Integral Yoga that she and Aurobindo Ghose (aka Sri Aurobindo, 1872-1950) co-created. The book evaluates Mirra's influence on Aurobindo's spiritual practice and teaching and critically describes the nature of their relationship, intellectually and spiritually. It also focuses on how Aurobindo influenced Mirra's teaching in Pondicherry, India and how she developed their yoga tradition after his passing and then explores her relevance today. Beldio is also a professional sacred artist with a studio at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, DC. His sculptures are in private and public collections across the USA. www.reunionstudios.com The EWP Podcast credits East-West Psychology Podcast Website Connect with EWP: Website • Youtube • Facebook Hosted by Stephen Julich (EWP adjunct faculty, program manager) and Jonathan Kay (PhD student, EWP assistant) Produced by: Stephen Julich and Jonathan Kay Edited and Mixed by: Jonathan Kay Introduction music: Mosaic, by Monsoon on the album Mandala Music at the end of the episode: Sound - Space Entanglement (4x + 1), from becoming - song: contemplative transnomadic sono - fictioning by Jonathan Kay Introduction Voiceover: Roche Wadehra Learn more about your ad choices.

Self, No-Self, and Self-Consciousness: Some Classical Indian Views, A Webinar by Prof Stephen Phillips The question of what accounts for personal identity through bodily, emotional, and mental change is one of many topics related to the positions taken on the nature of subjectivity and self-awareness in classical Indian thought. “Enlightenment” and yogic practice is another. This talk takes up Vedānta, Yogācāra Buddhism, Nyāya, Cārvāka, and other classical views, the debate between Naiyāyikas and Buddhists in particular. Bio: Stephen Phillips is professor emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin and has been visiting professor of philosophy at the University of Hawaii and Jadavpur University. Author of ten books, including Aurobindo's Philosophy of Brahman (Brill 1984), Classical Indian Metaphysics, “Refutations” of Realism and the Emergence of “New Logic” (Open Court 1995 and Motilal Banarsidass 1998), and Yoga, Karma, and Rebirth: A Brief History and Philosophy (Columbia 2009), named by Choice an “Outstanding Academic Title,” he has more recently written Classical Indian Epistemology: The Knowledge Sources of the Nyāya School (Routledge 2012), which presents classical Indian views in terminology suited for philosophy professionals. With Matthew Dasti, he published The Nyāya-sūtra: Selections with Early Commentaries (Hackett 2017), and with Dasti and Nirmalya Guha, a short text, God and the World's Arrangement: Vedānta and Nyāya Philosophy of Religion (Hackett 2021). Phillips teamed with N. S. Ramanuja Tatacharya to translate the perception chapter of the monumental fourteenth-century Tattva-cintā-maṇi, “(Wish-fulfilling), Jewel of Reflection on the Truth about Epistemology,” by Gaṅgeśa (American Institute of Buddhist Studies 2004 and Motilal Banarsidass 2008), in 750 pages. In three volumes, about 2000 pages, a translation of the entire text has now been published by Bloomsbury (2020) in a solo-authored set including much historical and philosophic exegesis.

 True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.The smith doesn't care how hard he is hitting the steel until its form is reached.When Logic dies wisdom is born.God demands you to leave the oases and then send you through the desert to reach a much better oasis.When the mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offense which they have so fiercely censured.What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.Pain is the hammer of the Gods to break a dead resistance in the mortal's heart.If thou desirest Truth, then still thy mind.All can be done if the god-touch is there.Courage and love are the only indispensable virtues; even if all the others are eclipsed or fall asleep, these two will save the soul alive.Remain faithful to the Light of your soul even when it is hidden by clouds. In our defeated hearts God's strength survives.My Video: Quotes Aurobindo https://youtu.be/mIyLOdAZLZgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Quotes-Aurobindo.mp3

Shri Aurobindo: India's rebirth | Shankar Sharan | #SangamTalks SrijanTalks

Trechos do livro “An introduction to Sri Aurobindo's philosophy”. Aurobindo Akroyd Ghosh, Ghose, ou Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950) foi um filósofo, poeta, yogue e grande mestre espiritual indiano. Essencialmente, Aurobindo ensina o mesmo que os antigos sábios da Índia: que por detrás das aparências do universo existe a Realidade, a base da vida de todas as coisas, o único e eterno, e que para enxergar essa Verdade, um novo princípio de consciência deve emergir da mente ordinária, a Supramente. Sua profunda compreensão emergiu devido as suas próprias práticas espirituais, para as quais ele encontrou vívidas descrições alegóricas nos Vedas. Assim, Aurobindo formulou os princípios de um “Yoga Integral”, unificando os princípios das diversas linhas em um todo harmônico e coerente.

“Always you will find that within you the shadow and the light go together… It is up to you to know how to utilize the one to realize the other.” -Sri AurobindoEach of us is called to change, mature, and take responsibility for our conscious evolution. A central task in psychological development is recognition and integration of the shadow. And this is where the concepts and the jargon begin to obscure understanding, right?The Persian tale of Abu Kasem's Slipper's is a humorous story that can shed some light on Aurobindo's teaching and the problem of the psychological shadow. I hope you find value in the story.Support the show

Il Mordente 60 è un puntatona sui libri (tre novità!), sulla corsa, sull'Islanda, sui progettini per migliorare il server Linux che abbiamo messo in piedi su YouTube. E poi una bella polemica sui podcast e sui podcaster, senza insistere troppo su chi pianta grossi chiodi nella propria bara.
