Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure. I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?๐ง๐โจ๐ฑ

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ธ๐ถ[…]

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. ๐ชทโจ๐๐ฏ๏ธ
Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural.

Probably 4-5 years ago, I had read a book named ‘Immortal Talks’ by an author named Shunya. Last time I checked, the author hadn’t revealed their identity. So the book is about Hanuman and how He imparts the ultimate knowledge to this particular tribe of people every 40 years and the story revolves around it. You can call its genre fiction. As I read that, I felt such a deep connection with Hanuman. ๐๐น๐๐๐ป[…]

Now my question is still, I am not able to know what is happening in my life and I do not know who Mother is and what is Her relationship with me, though I heard a lot of speeches of yours on YouTube and read some books of Mother and Aurobindo.โจ๐ธ๐ค๐ฎ[…]

Despite knowing that pain and difficult situations can often bring us nearer to the Divine, I abhor pain and want to repel it from my life. What should I do?๐ณ๏ธ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฅ๐ช๏ธ๐ฉน

We have an independent food scientist in India called the Millet Man, Dr Khader Vali. My question to you is all food science just relative in nature? Does body finally adapt to whatever food is given to it, as long as it is healthy and eaten in moderation, and produce health? Does mindset top food science?๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ
Food Science is relative because it does not take into consideration the local conditions, the general occupation, and the mental / genetic / heredity conditioning
Why does this happen that people are more attracted towards outer beauty? Even in girls/females at my office, I see them investing a lot of time and money in smart dresses, make up, hair styles, footwear etc. And I see people getting preference on the basis of their make up sense, dressing sense, capability of being able to afford luxury and glamour. Why are luxury and glamor appreciated?๐๐ช๐ ๐๏ธ๐

Whenever I read Savitri, something deep inside me rises up โ and every time, I cry. It is the unmatched beauty of the poetry, the unreachable heights of meaning in every line that moves me so deeply.๐ค๐๏ธ๐โพ๏ธ

So we should do all this at home if we are affected by pitra dosh or pray to Mother Mirra for their ultimate well-being? Just asking๐ณ๐ฏ๏ธ๐โจ
