We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
Alok da, how much is the body linked to the development of the Will? Do those people in professions which involve a thorough exertion of their hands and limbs in tune with the head (like craftsmen, painters, musicians, dancers, military men, chefs, and even agricultural labourers) have a scope for much development of the Will over those who don’t and are much more in the head(like software engineers, bankers, and students who spend hours in front of dense books reading)? 🧑🏻🎓🧑🏻⚕️🧑🏻💼👮🏻♀️🪷[…]
Those who work with hands or eye or mouth (speech) or brain develop more consciousness in those organs. It is not just the external instruments
Please tell me that how many types of meditation are there told by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo? Is namajapa a part of meditation? Which meditation is advisable for a mentally ill person? 🧘📿🕊️🙏🏻
Meditation is not meant for all. Besides it is the difficult path. The better, easier and swifter path is discernment, bhakti and works as Sri
In the context of the aim of life, Mother mentions, “ But if you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.” Please elaborate on how to use the one to realize the other. 🌑☀️🔥🙏🏻
It means that we often carry within us the opposite of what we are meant to realise. We all carry in us a divine possibility.
With the 150th birth anniversary of Sri MA approaching, we are planning an initiative—including a journey from Paris to Pondicherry—to bring the vision of Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA before Europe and beyond. We would be deeply grateful for your guidance on how to present their thought in ways that truly resonate with the European mind. 🌍📚🌸🙏🏻[…]
While your initiatives are deeply appreciable, I am not sure if the time to do so is right and more so, if Europe is ready
Dear Sir, how can silent inner pleading affect seemingly unconscious, assembled machines? Observing my new motorcycle, I intuitively sensed a living “spirit of the form”—much like the traditional worship of tools—making me wonder if software, numbers, and subtle energies also hold a responsive consciousness.🏍️📖✨🙏🏻[…]
This has been my experience too, especially with things that I regularly use such as the Scooter, watches etc. Material objects too carry consciousness within
Dear Sir, with humility and sincerity, I wish to place a few developing inner observations before you for your illuminating guidance. I find spontaneous physical intuitions of gratitude and Sri MA’s grace taking hold directly in the body before meals, while before sleep, a deep inner surge naturally crystallizes into “Sri MA”—which has become my living mantra, concentrated with all my aspiration and surrender. 🌸🕯️💙🙏🏻[…]
All these experiences clearly point out that your psychic being has already emerged into the play. All these are conscious experiences of the psychic being.
Reflecting on your guidance, I wonder if the sudden dismantling of my former life is Divine Grace clearing space for what my soul truly longs for. Amidst these sweeping losses, an inner pull toward a life centered on Sri Aurobindo, Sri MA, simplicity, and dedicated spiritual practice has only deepened. 🏡🌸🛤️🙏🏻[…]
Such radical shifts in life are a kind of rebirth, a spiritual rebirth that changes all the past co-ordinates shifting us out of every comfort
I looked up into the sky to see a luminous, oval-shaped halo glowing above, before witnessing Krishna and Shiva descend in intense white and yellow light near an old forest temple. When someone insisted I should marry a messenger associated with the vision, I firmly refused, choosing instead to receive a subtle healing touch on my fingertips.🪈🔱✨🙏🏻[…]
Krishna and Shiva are two aspects of One Divine Truth. One opens the path through the world, other by renouncing the world.
The proposal
I strive to remember Sri MA and offer my actions throughout the day, yet I often worry that this consecration is merely mental rather than rising spontaneously from the heart. Should I persist with this conscious practice even when it feels mechanical, or am I being insincere by “forcing” what isn’t yet deeply felt? 🌸🕯️⚖️🙏🏻[…]
What you are doing and experiencing is remarkable for your age. It is a sign that you are connecting the psychic threads of your past
Following the recent collapse of my marriage, home, and livelihood, I feel this dismantling may be Divine Grace clearing away old attachments to make space for what my soul truly seeks. Through all this loss, an inner pull toward simplicity, service, and a life centered on Sri Aurobindo and Sri MA has only deepened. 🌪️🕊️🌸🙏🏻[…]
It often happens that just before we make an exceptional progress or soon thereafter, a sudden unexpected difficulty props us. It is like a test
Dear Sir, why is Goddess Durga called Mahishasura Mardini, signifying the crushing or subduing of the demon (mardan), rather than using a term for direct killing (vadh), and what is the spiritual significance of choosing absolute subjugation over simple destruction? We see a similar scene in Shiva’s subjugation of Apasmara and the containment of Raktabeeja. 🛡️⚔️🔥🙏🏻
It is a very interesting and true observation that many are not aware of. This question was asked to The Mother and here is what
It’s not advisable to get into a business partnership with someone who wants to use you for your qualities, right? Sees a chance/opportunity in you to get something for themselves. 🤝💼⚖️🙏🏻
But business world is about that. Most businessmen instinctively look for the benefits, first their own and then of others. Some take risks and few
Since Diwali/ Kali Puja is around the corner, I have a question regarding Maa Kali and an aphorism of Sri Aurobindo. I have not understood the message in the aphorism below: 428—I did not know for some time whether I loved Krishna best or Kali; when I loved Kali, it was loving myself, but when I loved Krishna, I loved another, and still it was myself with whom I was in love. Therefore, I came to love Krishna better even than Kali. ⚫💙🔥🙏🏻 […]
You might have read or heard the the famous aphorism of Kabir about whom should he love more, the Guru who led him to Gobind.
I want to know about the significance of Diwali… and what we should do on this day? 🪔🔥🌸🙏🏻
Deepawali is associated with a number of stories that work as themes and reminders to the collective memory of the race. Through these memories they
If the mind attains a Sattwic state, becomes a Sthitaprajna, or embodies the qualities of a Bhakta or Gyani from the Gita, can it be considered a true Divine Mind? What kind of intellect truly manifests and expresses the Divine consciousness? I would be grateful for your clarification on this distinction. 🧠🕉️✨🙏🏻
The mind of the gyani, of the stithpragya, is the mind unaffected by the world around. It is a mind that is inwardly concentrated upon,
When I got to know about Mother and Sri Aurobindo through one of my teachers, I was attracted towards Krishna because I felt that he will accept me as I am. I read the writings of Mother. But never felt a pull towards Mother or Sri Aurobindo. But 1-2 years ago, my heart has a longing and I felt the word “Maa”. So now I go to Maa. Sir, could you shed light on this state? 🌸💙🕊️🙏🏻
Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are one but the approach is different for each one. Sri Krishna is the Divine as friend who counsels us
What’s meant by Swadhyaya? Is it merely reading scriptures or one’s own realisation? When time permits, please explain. 📖🔍🕯️🙏🏻
Swadhyaya literally means study of oneself. But practically it means study of oneself with the help of a scripture. That after all is the real
What kind of purity is expected from us by The Mother and Sri Aurobindo and in your talks you mentioned that The Mother tells us to avoid ascetic purity, What is it and how to avoid it? 🌿⚖️🕊️🙏🏻
True purity is to be completely under the Divine Influence. It means to act only under the influence of the Divine Will. To arrive at
