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.
How can we detach our true awareness [the observant guide] from the vital ego-mental behaviour? And why is it necessary? 👁️🕊️🔥🙏🏻
Without detachment we remain attached and moved by all kinds of forces circulating in the field of human ignorance. We mistake every suggestion, every thought,
I wanted to ask you about the right amount and timing of sleep. Whenever I wake up, I often find myself confused between two thoughts: either I feel that I should sleep a little longer because my sleep is not complete, or, if I do go back to sleep, I later feel that I have wasted my time because of laziness. 😴🌅⏰🙏🏻 […]
The average sleep requirements vary between 6 to 9 hours with 7 hours as a good common ground.
The best timings are to sleep
I am grateful for your guidance in this situation. Alok da, I feel that remaining silent, offering the hurt to the Divine, and praying for peace within myself and others would be easier for me. But I have one doubt: what if the other person interprets my silence as weakness and continues to hurt or insult me? 🕊️🛡️🌿🙏🏻[…]
Those who indulge in hurting others are already hurtling downwards. They will continue to do what they are habituated to doing. Leave them to their
I’m truly grateful to Sri Aurobindo. On this special day, He gave me a reassurance through you. Truly, my spiritual destiny seems to be lost at this point in time. Hence no sign of anything deep or true. But yes, I understand I must believe in my Spiritual destiny and also not postpone it. 🌅🕯️🙏🏻
The spiritual destiny is never lost. It may be delayed but never lost.
I have been experiencing some discomfort at work over the past few months. A colleague, who joined two years ago, often speaks negatively about me and others behind our backs, while maintaining a cordial attitude in person. 💼🕊️🛡️🙏🏻[…]
This is not uncommon in a company setup. There are always rotten apples that spoil the lot by their excessive ambition. Thinking about them infects
In your email, you mentioned that merely chanting a mantra is not sufficient and that a conscious spiritual aspiration must awaken within the practitioner. In this connection, I have a question. 📿🔥🕉️🙏🏻 […]
Yes, it is not only perfectly possible but often happens this way that a person turns to God through the Hare Krishna Mahamantra or any
Is the reverse all true, right? There is darkness in light too. I don’t know if I should ask this, but why is the periphery of Auroville full of undesirable aspirants? Are these all people rejected from the Ashram who took refuge just outside? Not Satvik enough to follow rules either in this world or that. Spiritual or material. 🌗🏡🕊️🙏🏻
I am not sure what you mean by there being darkness in light. Light destroys darkness. The two cannot remain together. What is possible is
I read on your AuroMaa page the following: “Among the core processes is the triple effort of aspiration, rejection and surrender. Aspiration is aided by a concentration in the heart on the image of the Divine Mother since it is She who ignites this fire and sustains it and makes it grow brighter and stronger like the flame of Agni in the Vedas. 🔥🕯️🌸🙏🏻 […]
In the context of the Integral Yoga it is the Divine Mother in her present earthly embodiment. Her present earthly embodiment is with the sole
I have been reflecting on a few questions regarding Sri Aurobindo’s view of Nature and the psychic being, and I would be grateful if you could help me understand them. 🌿🕯️✨🙏🏻 […]
Ignorance means a partial knowledge. It is not an absence of knowledge but a knowledge that misses the whole. It is a knowledge absorbed in
Could you please explain the difference between desire and aspiration in spiritual life when you have time? If one says, “I desire liberation from the cycle of birth and death,” versus “I aspire for Moksha,” are they not pointing to the same thing, or does an essential inner distinction separate them? 🔥🕊️🙏🏻
Desire is a vital movement. Its seat is in the prana and hence it cannot sustain long. It tends to dwindle if the results are
Yes, there are certain difficulties and problems going on in my life surrounding the family atmosphere and my career. I was in Pondi a few months ago and used to attend your sessions; you also know me personally. I have been on this path for a year now. 😰🌼[…]
Yes, I understand. Life can be quite challenging at times. But once one navigates through it then there is born a real hero. There is
While Mother’s grace helped me navigate the initial grief, daily chest stiffness, recurring nightmares of cardiac arrest, and distorted dreams of losing family have now become deeply distressing. In waking life, I am exhausted by persistent intrusive thoughts urging me to give up, accompanied by heavy self-criticism whenever I feel misaligned with my spiritual path. 🌑🕊️💪🙏[…]
This seems to be a wave of depression that is trying to catch you, partly because of the loneliness as you don’t seem to have
Thank you for your guidance. Through recent reflection, I realized my struggles stemmed from a lack of true sincerity—reacting from superficial judgments, unnecessary fear, and wavering faith rather than seeing things with humility and patience. 🌱🔥🌸🙏[…]
To recognize the insincerities is itself a great step forward towards sincerity. Most people, even in the Yoga or so they believe, are unable to
I am feeling stressed and having issues like anxiety and losing confidence, which I usually never had, as I’m a happy-go-lucky person and usually do well professionally and am praised, but now I’m stressed and I feel strongly that the force and love of Maa is with me. 🌿🕊️🌸🙏[…]
This happens because there is a division in our being. One part is open and has faith, the other part is full of doubts and
I faced a question & remained silent because I couldn’t answer. My sister-in-law (elder brother’s wife) while taking dinner she told me a ghost once occupied her by force in the night. I told her where ever mother’s photograph is there, there is no chance to enter any (ghost) bhut, pret, pisach to the house. 🕯️🛡️🌸🙏[…]
There are lot of false assumptions here.
An outwardly healthy person can surely have low Hemoglobin. There are plenty of patients like that. Low hemoglobin
Thank you, Alok-da; small childhood habits like bowing to a dropped pen now clearly feel like quiet groundwork for this realization. It is refreshing to know the Mother embraced makeup, breaking away from the rigid ascetic ideal and reflecting the adorned, joyous divinity of Sri Krishna and Vishnu over mere renunciation. 🌸✨⚖️🙏[…]
I often receive beauty products unasked, and rather than viewing them through guilt or desire, I simply accept them as Her grace and offer them
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. I don’t really feel connected to doing it just for the sake of it. 🧵👫🌸🙏[…]
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
I enjoy your reading of Savitri. But what happens is you abruptly stop in between and go for an explanation, which breaks my concentration on Savitri. The flow shouldn’t be interrupted when focused on Savitri. Even if one doesn’t understand the meaning, the words, their rhythm, itself is very powerful, very melodious to the ears. Would you record it for us? 🎧📖✨🙏[…]
I fully understand what you say. They have to be two different recordings. Often half a phrase reveals its deeper sense. Sometimes a word is
