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.
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
“You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil.” 🙂🪷🌍
Jesus Christ was born among the Jews who believed in this saying of Moses, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
My Psychic is developed to the extent that I could recognise The Mother, Sri Aurobindo, his work in this life. Is it possible that I was on Earth when Mother and Sri Aurobindo were also here in their physical forms? Or, despite the psychic being developed to whatever level, it has to roam without a body for years, or does its rebirth happen fast? ❤️🔥🪷🌌[…]
It is always the psychic that recognises the Divine in whatever cloak he comes. Quite naturally, Sri Aurobindo being the latest Divine descent, towards whom
Sir, can Savitri reading also help increase our intelligence? Can it raise our consciousness to the higher planes of consciousness, like – higher mind, illumined mind, intuitive mind, etc? 📖😊🙏🏻🪷
The Mother has in fact said so in so many words. The habit of reading in general is like an exercise widens the mind and
What is Bhakti? Who is a true bhakta? 😊🙏🏻🪷
True bhakti is complete self giving to the Divine. It is motiveless, ahaituki, only for the joy of the Divine. Inwardly it manifests itself in
Today marked my fourth visit to Sri Aurobindo Sadhanalay, Ayodhya, where I experienced a distinctly unique divine presence with Hanuman ji, followed by a sudden, deep descent of peace and delight while meditating in the Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s Relics Room. 🏦😊🙏🏻🌻[…]
The Sri Aurobindo Sadhanalaya in Ayodhya is no doubt quite a beautiful place full of deep spiritual vibrations. The vigraha of Hanuman ji is jagrat,
Based on chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Life Divine, I was wondering how Sri Aurobindo comes to the conclusion that an omnipresent reality exists and that only this reality explains the universe. 🌌🙂🙏🏻🪷[…]
The logic trail is as follows. Human beings, cutting across the differences in time, space and education seek or aspire for some ultimate of freedom,
Does reading Sri Aurobindo or reading The Mother have the same effect? 📚😊🙏🏻🪷
Yes, it is the same consciousness, the same truth. But the approaches are different and hence the differences of appeal to different natures.

Out of the five Tanmatras, we can currently capture sound (Shabda) and light (Rupa) across space using technology like mobile phones and TV. Do touch (Sparsha), taste (Rasa), and smell (Gandha) also travel as subtle waves or energies through space in a similar way? 🕯️🌌🫨🌼[…]
The two primary aspects of the Divine are Light and Sound. That is why the two original faculties are Drsti and Shruti, Darshana and Shravan.
I had these two dreams; can you please explain them? My father and I go into a white marble mine where work is taking place. A freshly cut block separates and slips slightly. My father looks around the whole mine and says something—I can’t remember exactly, but perhaps he was saying, “Our mine will be like this; right now there isn’t a block like that.” 💭👨🏻👧🏻🪨🧒🏻🌳[…]
Both are good visions and indicate that your old consciousness (father) is beginning to collaborate. As a result the subconscient is changing (marble mines) and
As an aspirant on the Integral Yoga path, I am struggling with the application of Truthfulness in a delicate relationship. My partner, who has suffered past hurt due to my former actions, asks radical questions about whether my spiritual practice means I would forgive those who commit extreme atrocities against her or our future child. 👨🏻🪷👩🏻[…]
This has been answered by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Krishna in the Gita and elaborated in great length by Sri Aurobindo through numerous letters as well
During a recent visit from my parents, I struggled to convey Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s teachings to my action-focused, property-oriented father, raising the question of why transmitting subtle spiritual ideas to an intellectually capable mind can remain so difficult. 👨🏻👩🏻👧🏻👦🏻😣🥀🌾[…]
Yes, it is my general observation that the present generation, for all its other difficulties, is more open towards the spiritual life. It believes in
At first glance, French statesman General Charles de Gaulle and Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo seem like an unlikely pair, yet both shared a profound, almost spiritual devotion to their nations’ destinies. 🗺️😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
Thanks for the interesting parallels between the spiritual nationalism of Sri Aurobindo and Charles de Gaul. Sri Aurobindo did regard him as a divine instrument
