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.
I’ve been trying to develop a healthy outlooks on the dynamics of man-woman relationships in the midst of a lot of mutually contradictory advice of parents, friends, and other parties. As of late, I started to investigate the old and still popular idea of man being the dominant side of the relationship with the woman submitting to his will and being obedient to him […]💑👨👩🦰👐
The idea of male dominance is outdated and outrightly childish. Men and women are and should be equal partners. In fact if one is to
I have been a devotee of Hanumanji from my childhood. Traditionally we believe that Hanumanji still stays in the earth. I am curious that in the present Avatar of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, what is the role he is playing? Also, have you had any experiences with him? Thank you!⛰️🧡🏹🙏
Hanuman ji is a wonderful god who grants bhakti and shakti to those engaged in the sewa of The Lord. That has been my experience
But there also might be some instances where I have to see or face something that is inappropriate or sensitive. How do I find the courage? 🔥😶🌫️🌼🌌
The most powerful method is to see the Divine in and behind everything. The first step towards that is to cultivate equanimity and wideness. It
A historian from the early 20th century, Dhan Gopal Mukerji, remarking on historical awareness in India, writes: “Properly speaking India had no history. We as a race have no consciousness of it, for our history has been written mostly by foreigners – the Greeks, the Arabs and the Chinese. … 📜🥸🌼[…]
This is the typical example of defining something in a particular (and limited) way and thereby destroying its truth. If history is merely about the
What I meant is simply that you don’t need to act hatefully to act decisively. You CAN see the Divine in the rapist, forgive them in your largeness of mind, and THEN or SIMULTANEOUSLY take an affirmative retaliatory action against them. 🤔❤️🩹🌼[…]
You are quite right here. But to answer to someone not on the same page, you may explain it thus that hate, anger, spitefulness, vengeance,
Today I dreamed of 3 or 4 lions lying together and play-fighting in a small room. They were completely unaware of me. I was lying on a single bed in an adjoining room, from where I could watch them. 💭🦁🏡[…]
The lions are the protective power of the Divine. They attack and devour if we are afraid or harboring lower animal impulses. They would generally
Why is it so natural to forget our Mother in a day? Rather, it should be natural to live with her remembrance and most effectively, with her consciousness all the time. Or I feel as if we don’t know how to love her; that’s why this is happening. When will it become natural to live in her? 🙄🙏🏻🪷❤️🔥
It is because we are not made up of one piece. There are many different parts in our nature. Some open readily and remember the
What is most conducive to a spiritual lifestyle? Reading paper books or e-readers or a combination of both? The assumption here is that the reader is sincere and loves reading. 📖🪷🖥️
I suppose its each one’s comfort zone. But personally I find much greater joy and connection through the paperbacks. Soft copies somehow do not give
Recently, I fear everything from the smallest to the largest; every small thing gives me a sensation of anxiety, of “what will happen?”. And this has disrupted my whole body’s mechanism. My digestion has been disturbed; I cannot eat properly… 😥🥀🦋[…]
Fear comes when we are turned upon ourselves, when we think of ourself. Instead we should turn our mind and its energies towards the work
I have been regularly listening to your talks since nearly 2 years. Though I am on the path of loving devotion and surrender to Radhakrishna, the marg of Brajrasik saints, and not much inclined to the path of impersonal Brahman or the gyani marg. 🌌😊🙏🏻🌻[…]
It is very much possible but the effects are not due to the gyana alone. A wide, impersonal, calm inner state that can develop in
Whenever I watch your videos or read the description of Savitri, I feel grateful for you for the service you have for your mother. How did this sense of service come in you? Along with grace, what is it that a Sadhak can do?🔥😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
If you ask me, I would genuinely say Grace. I was born in a middle order family that had enough to take care of all
What form might Bhakti take in the New Creation? 😊🙏🏻🪷
It is with the identification of oneself with the Psychic Being as a portion of the Divine, as one’s true individuality that beings of the
Bhaiya, how did you deal with the whole Rakhi thing when your sister used to send you rakhis? I find this whole thing to be more of a formality: sending the rakhi, then repeatedly asking if I’ve tied it or not, asking for photos, etc. 📿👦🏻🏵️👧🏻[…]
As an adolescent I would react against all these customs and traditions, not because they are wrong but because, they are not needed to express
Why do people lie and hide things, Alok da? 😔🥀
People hide things because of fear…
As I was listening to one of your talks about Krishna, you mentioned that surrendering all your actions inwardly to God, while doing the actions as usual, will give you inner freedom. 😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
Yes Sri Krishna spoke of liberation through action. Before his advent, action was regarded as bondage and meditation and worship the only means to liberation.
So, accepting the change, protecting myself and moving on is best? Also, Alok da – what is active resistance to evil? In what situations should we fight and when to back out? Wait and let it unfold on its own? 🫨🦋🍂
The first and foremost task before us is to evolve towards our highest possibility. One must first conquer the evil within oneself before one tries
In Gita 15.13–14, Lord Krishna identifies Himself with the Sun, Fire, and the Moon—specifically mentioning the Moon as providing the sap that nourishes all plant life. While the role of the Sun and Fire in sustaining life is obvious, the physical significance of the Moon often seems limited to its aesthetic beauty, especially given cloudy days when it isn’t visible. ☀️🌑🔥🌍[…]
At the spiritual level Moon is a symbol of Soma, the delight that runs as sap in all creation. Physically, moon influences the mind and
Alok da, Maa says we can meet Sri Aurobindo in the subtle physical, where he is permanently there; how can I meet him? ❤️🔥😊🙏🏻🌼
By intense devotion to the point of being detached with everything else. By serving him in the spirit of nishkama karma leaving the result and
