A curious phenomenon usually occurs in the day-to-day life of the Ashram. Quotations from the Mother & Sri Aurobindo come to the view of the inmates of the Ashram as well as visitors from outside by way of messages on Darshan and other special days. They are also regularly and frequently displayed on Notice Boards of the Ashram. These (quotations) were always written or given in certain contexts by our Gurus and they cannot apply pointblank in every case to any person in any situation anywhere in the world. But a layman (inmate or visitor) will always be prone to take them for granted in all cases in life. Thus M/S Manoj Das Gupta & Company Private Limited will always be exonerated for any of their actions or positions taken as representatives of the Ashram before the world. They apparently and practically continue to enjoy a sort of an absolute sovereignty in dismissing or admitting anybody for anything whatsoever with their roles played from the platform of the Ashram in the name of spirituality taught by the Mother & Sri Aurobindo! The outcome of judicial results in the course of these phenomena will always hang in the tardy womb of time.General Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08357387091233027707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492774704026276830.post-24153128941513934052013-02-10T10:39:28.905+05:302013-02-10T10:39:28.905+05:30Comment by Tusar Mohapatra (Savitri Era Forum):

Legality is not the only attribute to be valued in a civil society, but then there is no dearth of alibis to justify any argument they forward. But their rigid stand, to give devil the due, has brought many theoretical questions with regard to The Mother & Sri Aurobindo out in the open. The aura of white dresses and black beards have been exposed and demystified. Heehs imbroglio has proved that Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry is nothing more than a hostel and to call the inmates Sadhaks is just a pleasantry. Pretence is the first thing which needs to be evicted from the precincts of the Ashram.<br /><br />Heehs’ new book blurb mentions blogs but the Ashram is yet to understand its value in communicating the teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. Although it has marshaled many sites to fight its detractors, the idea of using blogs in a positive way has not enamoured the old guard. The public in general and the devotees in particular, however, never give up hope for due accountability and transparency.
