The definitions of Mind, Overmind & Supermind in Aurobindonian Dialectic

Mind ( Mana )

Mind is a clumsy interlude between Nature’s vast and precise
subconscient action and the vaster and infallible superconscient action
of the Godhead.… There is nothing Mind can do which cannot be better done by the Mind’s immobility of thought free stillness.

Overmind ( Vijnana )

In its power of origination and in the process of its executive
dynamis, Overmind is the vast organiser of many potentialities of
existence, a magician craftsman empowered to weave the multi colored
warp and woof of manifestation of a single entity in a complex universe.

Supermind ( Prajnana )

Supermind is the Alpha and the Omega, the instrument of all
unification, of all origination, originative, executive and
consummative in all realised and realisable harmonies !

The Full Moon of Vrishabha ( Taurus ) occurs near the constellation Beta Librae (Vishakha ) and hence is called Vaishakha. It begins from April 21 and ends on May 20.

Vaishakha… begins from today, the New Moon of April. The Sikh Harverst Festival, Baisakhi, is celebrated this month. It is the second month of the Tamil Solar Calender.

The Full Moon of Vaisakha is celebrated as Buddha Pournima or the birthday of Lord Buddha.

In Guruvayur, the Holy Month of Vaisakha begins. Pilgrims from TN, Karnataka and AP rush to Guruvayur to have a glimpse of the Lord during this Holy Month.

Patience is the strength of the weak
Also the ornament of the strong !

Kshama balam ashakthanam
Shakthanam bhooshanam Kshama !
… Many are the teachings of the wise
In ancient and in modern books enrolled
Extolling Patience as the truest fortitude
And to the bearing end of all calamities
All chances incident to man’s frail life !

The patient will be extolled
As it is he who triumphs
He conquers, who endures
He who suffers, conquers !
The end of Anger is
A great disaster indeed !

We said earlier that the Gnostics enriched Western Philosophy with the doctrines of the East. Similarly Indian Philosophy is enriched by Mahesh Yogi’s Quantum Mysticism and Aurobindonian Supramental Dialectic. 


Three disciples of Mahesh Yogi are still centre stage – Dr Deepak Chopra, Ravi Shankar and Rishi Prabhakar. Scientists like Dr Capra and Gary Zukav support Quantum Mysticism.

Nobel Laureate Dr Prigogine, another TM er, said that more and more scientists will be visiting India, as Modern Science validates Indian philosophic verities !

These are the eighteen sciences which grace Philosophia Indica.

1)The Science of Being as Being – Vedanta Sastra
2)The Science of Cosmic Union – Yoga Sastra
3)The Science and Wisdom of the Heavens – Jyothis Sastra
4)The Science and Wisdom of Nature – Sankhya Sastra
5)The Science of Atoms – Vaisesika Sastra
6)The Science of Logic – Nyaya Sastra ( also called Tarka Sastra ).
7)The Holistic Science of Life – Ayurveda Sastra
8)The Science of Wealth, Economics – Artha Sastra
9)The Science of Grammar – Vyakarana Sastra
10)The Science of Definition – Niruktha Sastra
11)The Science of Phonetics – Siksha Sastra
12)The Science of Poetic Meters – Chandas Sastra
13)The Science of Musicology – Gandharva Veda
14) The Science of Symbology – Purana Sastra
15) The Science of Ethics – Dharma Sastra
16) The Science of Archery – Dhanur Veda
17) The Science of the Serpent Power – Tantra Sastra
18) The Science of Matter – Charvaka Sastra

Mother and Motherland are greater
Than all Heavens and Earths !
O Mother India, Thou art equal
And the mother of us all !


Jananee janma bhoomischa
Swargath api Gareeyasi
Samatha vilasitha Bharathee
Sarva Jagathi shreyasee

“India is the mother of us all. Through Sanskrit, the mother of
Europe’s languages. Through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in
Christianity. Through the Arabs, of higher mathematics and algebra.
Through the village community, of self government and democracy. Mother
India, is in many ways, the mother of us all. “

Grace us, O Lord

Daivadheenam Jagat Sarvam
Sathyadheenam thu Daivatam
Tat Satyam Uthamadheenam
Uthamo Mama Devatha

Wisdom = Grace = Insurance !

Greatest is Grace
Grace is the quality of Truth
Truth is known only to Sages
Hence Sages are my Exemplars!

The Greats who criticised Democracy – III

Plato criticised Democracy and favoured the rule of Philosopher Kings. He wrote in his Republic

” Unless philosophers became Kings and Kings took to the power and spirit of Philosophy, cities shall never cease from ill nor the human race’.

Marcus Aurelius and Augustus Caesar in Rome, King Janaka and Nimi in India were Philosopher Kings who were exemplary.

Augustus ruled Rome for 40 years and it was known as the Golden Age of Rome. He was born with Libra rising, with Saturn exalted and Venus powerful in Libra and Jupiter exalted in Cancer. He was a born Raja Rishi. His empire was based on naval power.

He was a member of the second triumvirate. The first triumvirate was Pompey, Julius Caesar and Crassus. All of them perished by the sword. Even his two partners of the second triumvirate, Marc Antony and Lepidus also perished in battle.

On the contrary, Augustus was protected by Providence and died a natural death.

As a Rishie, Augustus founded the Religion of Numa, defined by Buchan as a probe into the mysteries of the Infinite and the Unknown.

We pray that India may again be ruled by Philosopher Kings like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, putting an end to the rule of commercial politicians !
