About this listen

Krishna reads The Ideal of Human Unity, one of the important texts written by the great Indian philosopher, Sri Aurobindo. This podcast is part of a celebration of his 150th birth anniversary and is organised by the Auro Artworld (https://auroartworld.org/) . We are driven by a passion for the arts and a deep sense of service and responsibility to the artists, to the receivers of the arts, and to the Dream and values of Auroville itself. Transparency and openness to change remain core to our ethos and the services we offer to the community. The arts will exist — Sri Aurobindo wrote in The Life Divine — ‘as expressions and means of the truth of the spirit and the beauty and delight of existence’. This is the challenge before artists in Auroville and all those around the world inspired by the Dream. Read more about our values and who we are. Powered by Firstory Hosting

  • Chapter 23: Forms of Government
    Nov 6 2022

    The idea of a world-union of free nations and empires, loose at first, but growing closer-knit with time and experience, seems at first sight the most practicable form of political unity; it is the only form indeed which would be immediately practicable, supposing the will to unity to become rapidly effective in the mind of the race. On the other hand, it is the State idea which is now dominant. - Sri Aurobindo, The Ideal of Human Unity, Chapter 23

  • Chapter 22: World-Union or World-State
    Nov 6 2022

    This, then, in principle is the history of the growth of the State. It is a history of strict unification by the development of a central authority and of a growing uniformity in administration, legislation, social and economic life and culture and the chief means of culture, education and language. In all, the central authority becomes more and more the determining and regulating power. - Sri Aurobindo, The Ideal of Human Unity, Chapter 22

  • Chapter 21: The Drive towards Legislative and Social Centralisation and Uniformity
    Nov 6 2022

    The gathering of the essential powers of administration into the hands of the sovereign is completed when there is unity and uniformity of judicial administration, — especially of the criminal side; for this is intimately connected with the maintenance of order and internal peace. - Sri Aurobindo, The Ideal of Human Unity, Chapter 21
