Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Aurobindo, and the Question of Influence
A Call for a Balanced Approach
Naming and Critiquing Movements in Early-Twentieth-Century French Art the Examples of Intimism, Fauvism, and Cubism
During the nineteenth century, art movements were increasingly identified by names, many of which ended in –ism. Some of these labels were deliberate inventions, while others originated in casual remarks that were taken up by journalists and eventually became standard terms in art history. One example of a deliberately invented name is “Intimism”, which the poet and critic Camille Mauclair claimed – incorrectly – to have coined. Two fortuitous ex…
The Myth of the Theons
The reputations of Eliezer Mordechai Bimstein and Mary Ware (aka Theon and Madame Theon) as master occultists took shape during their lifetimes in the absence of accurate biographical information. Best known as leaders of the Cosmic Movement, which attracted a number of adherents during the first decade of the twentieth century, they each had an interesting backstory, Bimstein as a worker in the tobacco trade, then co-founder of the Hermetic Brot…

Some observers regard the ashram as the center of a religious movement, but Aurobindo said that any attempt to base a movement on his teachings would end in failure. Nevertheless, some of his followers who view themselves as part of a movement use mass mobilization techniques, litigation and political l…

Introduction
The uses of Sri Aurobindo
While studying American history in school, my classmates and I were offered a collection of names, dates, places and events that were supposed to sum up what happened in one or another period. The
Shades of Orientalism
In Orientalism, Edward Said attempts to show that all European discourse about the Orient is the same, and all European scholars of the Orient complicit in the aims of European imperialism. There may be "manifest" differences in discourse, but the underlying "latent" orientalism is "more or less constant." This does not do justice to the marked differences in approach, attitude, presentation, and conclusions found in the works of various oriental…

Bengali religious nationalism and communalism
Indian communalism a survey of historical and social‐scientific approaches
Foreign Influences on Bengali Revolutionary Terrorism 1902-1908
Writing to John Morley, the Secretary of State for India, a few days after the first terrorist bomb was thrown by a Bengali, the Viceroy Lord Minto declared that the conspirators aimed 'at the furtherance of murderous methods hitherto unknown in India which have been imported from the West, and which the imitative Bengali has childishly accepted'.This notion later was taken up and developed byTimescorrespondent Valentine Chirol, who wrote that Be…

An Old Approach to the New History
Aurobindo Ghose and revolutionary terrorism
The Maniktala secret society
Sri Aurobindo
Philosopher, spiritual leader, mystic, poet and nationalist, Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was perhaps modern India's most fascinating and enigmatic leader. This biography is a comprehensive yet detached look at Aurobindo's career and thought
