Dear Alokda, from a spiritual perspective, what does the term manifestation mean? 🌱✨
Manifestation means to give form to the formless. It is somewhat like a creative artist giving expression to the key idea he holds within himself
I found myself alone in a vast, dimly lit house heavy with melancholy. Suddenly, an adorable, fearless boy appeared, completely absorbed in his own playful adventures. His joyful, independent spirit instantly brought warmth to the empty space, leaving me with a lingering wish to see him again when the dream ended. 🌸✨
It is not just a dream but a real experience. The empty room without furniture and a melancholic atmosphere is the mind and the child
Dear Doctor, could you tell me what—within the process of surrender—recognizes and offers the parts of one’s being to the Mother? Is it the illumined mind, the dynamic will, psychological knowledge, or something else? 🔥🌸🙏🏻[…]
Generally it is the part that is most ready and turns towards the Divine takes the lead of the Sadhana. It may be the illumined
Sir, I had one more question. In your lectures, I heard you mention Bamakhepa Ji a couple of times—specifically, you recounted an incident where someone asked Bamakhepa Ji about Sri Aurobindo, and he replied that Sri Aurobindo is seated at the very pinnacle of all siddhis (spiritual attainments). 📖🙏🏻[…]
This story was told to me (and many others) by Sri Chottenarayan Sharma, a renowned and revered scholar of Sri Aurobindo who was deeply conversant
Today, while listening to your recent talk, “Gratitude to the Divine” from the Nainital series, I was deeply moved. Hearing you read the lines from Sri Aurobindo’s poems was truly glorious. I found myself crying, and by the end, as you read the two passages from Savitri, I was sobbing uncontrollably. 💗🙏🏻 […]
Human nature, ‘by its nature’, is unpredictable. Yet there is in us the One whose touch, and even mere glance can break every chain and
I have seen many questions here regarding dreams and your analysis of what they could signify. I am tempted to ask one question regarding the same, which came to me maybe in 2015 or 2016. Well, it was not a dream per se, but more like a very clear instruction while I was sleeping, and I still remember the instruction and the tone of it because I woke up suddenly after the instruction. 🕊️🙏🏻 […]
Garuda is the power of the Divine that destroys the hostile forces that inject the venom of anger, hate, jealousy, fear and other such negative
Nowadays I remember my parents very much. My parents’ daily devotion—my father listening to the Bhagavatam read by my mother, reciting Rudram and Sundarakandam, and performing their daily aradhana together—remains deeply etched in my heart. 🌸🙏🏻[…]
I can understand your feelings. But is always best that we let those who have passed into the Beyond to continue their further journey. The
Alok da, people who don’t feel spiritual – can’t they connect to meditation or be subtle? What’s their state of mind like? And what happens when they come in contact with a person with highly satvic mind – they get awkward / uncomfortable. Does the aura bother them? 🧘🌿
The state of mind of those who cannot yet connect with or concentrate upon spiritual aspects of life is generally gross, often turned towards material
Following Sri Aurobindo’s mahavakya, ‘All Life is Yoga’, can we extend it to say these two sentences by extension: 1. All Life is Yoga of Nature (a truth on a cosmic scale), 2. All Life is either a conscious or unconscious Yoga. (a truth both on a personal and cosmic level) 🌍🌱
Yes this is absolutely true as far as all earthly life is concerned.
Upon earth all life is knowingly or unknowingly striving towards Perfection
Dear Doctor, the Mother said: instead of throw certain things far from you, accept them and take them as a part of oneself and offer them. ” So I have to offer or refuse? 🌸🙏🏻
The Mother is referring to the tendency in nature that must be offered. As to impulse and action pushed by the tendency, it has to
I thought I had changed my past impure self a little bit; I thought I had become a little better human… but again, something happened and I feel I failed more miserably than before…. I have not changed at all…. I think I am worse… It is heartbreaking to know that I am just the same person as before…. 🌱🌅🙏🏻
The fact that you want to change is itself a sign that you have changed! This is how the change takes place. In the beginning
I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]
Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the
Could you help me understand the following pad from Tulsidas’s Vinay Patrika? I am not entirely sure what he is really talking about. I think he is distinguishing between ordinary life and spiritual life, and it seems related to my previous question.
Here, Tulsidas ji is speaking about how true bhakti is not easy to practice. Many speak about it but very few can practice it.

Dada, after taking my bath in the morning, I used to pray to Lord Bishnu, Krishna, Shiva, Maa Saraswati and Ganesh ji. So also in evening time for five to ten minutes. It has been continuing for the last several years. I could not avoid it. But Lord and Maa are my Ishta and leading my life accordingly. 🌸🙏🏻
It is true that the sadhana brings full results when all our energies of worship and service, our love and especially faith and surrender are
Dada I want to write this letter to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo through you. I shared with you the problem of watching porn and masturbation. I lost interest of watching that vulgar thing and masturbation after that because of their grace. But today after watching nasty video not sexual video but very nasty video and I again made blunder of masturbation. But dada I am facing another difficulty that I cannot concentrate on work and after getting rid of porn due to their grace in 2025 that there are vulgar impure sexual thoughts constantly due to excessive viewing porn in early days.
However big or even seemingly impossible the difficulties, one can get rid of it all if one can hold through the inevitability struggle with complete
Not only in one sloka, but in many places, Sri Krishna refers to Himself with the usage of अहम्, माम्, मम, मत्, मे, मयि, मया. So here my question is: how to take these 1st person statements? Referring to His manifested form? Or His AtmaBhava? 📖🕉️ […]
Much later, after the war is over, Sri Krishna himself confirms that the Gita was delivered in a Superconscious state and hence cannot be replicated.
So then how do we deal with situations and people that feel negative to us – what’s the right approach / attitude to it?
One has to learn to ignore and be indifferent to all that does not directly relate to your inner goal.
What happens when a lower mind comes in contact with a person with a highly sattwic mind – they get awkward/uncomfortable. Aura bothers them? See their own inadequacies/flaws? 🧠🌱
When two different layers of mind come in contact with each other, lets say a sattwic mind and the other rajasic then it may lead
