You answered a question regarding Mr. Sonam Wangchuk regarding the protest. Politics indeed has no place in Spirituality. But you also said that there was anarchy and hooliganism by the protesters. Is there a better way to hold an authoritarian government accountable? 🤔👥🪧👩🏼🎓💔👨🏼🎓[…]
I appreciate your honest response. As you might have noticed I have not commented anything on Mr Sonam Wangchuk whom I do not know personally.
Hello Alok da, what are your views on the young students of India demanding accountability from the ruling government and being brutally oppressed and crushed by the police of this country? What are your thoughts on the incompetent, corrupt and ego-filled politicians of modern India who are not at all caring for the people of this country? 😣🪧👥🪧🍂
As a starter it is harmful to involve students in politics. It is as good as destroying their future. But almost all the political parties
Dada, yesterday during the study circle, we were reading about Purusha and Prakriti. In the course of the discussion, I happened to say that Sri Aurobindo is Purusha and the Mother is Prakriti (the executive power of the Purusha). Dada, please tell us your view. 😊🙏🏻🌼🪷
The truth of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is that they are human representation of Ishwara and Shakti. Shakti is also known simetimes known as
Wanted to understand what the last line would mean: “there is a determinism, but externally.” If you could shed some light on this. Sharing the lines below: 📖😊🙏🏻🌼[…]

Sir, the popular bhakti song ‘Shokoli tomari iccha….tomar kormo tumi koro ma, loke bole kori ami’, which you often mention, was sung by Pannalal Bhattacharya. He was a legendary Shyama Sangeet singer. Dwijendralal Roy was mainly associated with patriotic songs. One of his famous songs is ‘ Dhono dhanye puspe bhora’. 🎼😊🙏🏻🌼🎶
Yes as a child I was quite fond of Pannalal ji. Actually I was referring to the writer, not the singer. May be you could
Whenever something good happens to me, I remember the Mother and thank Her. On the contrary, whenever something bad happens, I try to rationalize it by thinking that Mother saved me from something worse. Is this the attitude we should keep? ❤️🔥😊🙏🏻🪷
It is not just a rationalising of things but the actual truth of the Divine Grace that often mitigates our karmas. But the ideal attitude
Dada, the pain doesn’t stem from the fact that we aren’t together right now, or from wondering when we will be, or from a desire to satisfy my personal cravings through her company—though those thoughts might exist, they aren’t the source of my anguish. 🥲🌼🦋[…]
I understand your pain. But by now you should also understand that this idea of being together, walking upon the path together are all your
What is True Destiny? ❤️🔥🙂🌼
True destiny is the destiny of your soul. It implies that there are several destinies that are active in a person’s life which relate to
I have heard that Mr. Sonam Wangchuk and his wife are devotees of Sri Aurobindo. While his demands may be genuine, the forces with whom he has aligned himself seem to me hostile to India. What are your views on this? 🪧👥🪧🍂
It is very easy to use the word devotee. One doesn’t become a devotee by proclaiming to be one. Even Ravana proclaimed himself to be
Would be grateful for your guidance regarding a dream that has stayed with me: I dreamt that I entered an old palace. There were two thrones. On one throne sat a majestic lion, and on the other sat a simple elderly woman with a dark Indian complexion, wearing a plain green saree without any ornaments. 👰🏼♀️🦁🪷[…]
The woman you saw was certainly an aspect of Durga. The guru is the priest invoking her and putting you in contact with her. It

Due to repeated failure in something related to the body, my mind and vital has taken a pessimistic approach of repeating that something or the other will go wrong. I want to develop a positive attitude in the body, mind and vital. Can you please suggest some affirmations that I can practise writing and repeating every day? 😥🙏🏻🌼🦋
Read books and lives of human beings who refused to give up, who turned every failure into a new learning and step towards eventual success.
My son is depressed because his girlfriend left him. Also, he thinks he is responsible because of certain vital habits he had. He doesn’t believe in God. Please tell me how to guide him. I am also getting depressed because I see him suffering. Please advise. 🙍🏼♂️💔😥🙏🏻🌼
There is no need to bring in god. All that is needed is to talk to him. Let him express his feelings freely to you.
Kindly tell me when to become passive and when not to become passive, because in the beginning, one can’t surrender as one can’t understand the importance of surrender. What is the right attitude and how to possess the right attitude in all circumstances? 🤔🌼🍂
One should be passive only to the Divine Will. If one is sure of the Divine Will in the quietude of one’s inmost heart, then
I came across some keywords that are used multiple times while reading and listening about Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. However, I don’t understand what these mean. 📖🥸🌼[…]

Just want to know whether the intake of non-vegetarian food causes any hindrance to Spiritual Progress? 🍗🍳🍜🌸
Food has a very minor role in sadhana, and here too much more than veg and non-veg, it is the occult atmosphere that it brings
I have a question regarding what the Mother said about astrology? And stars? 🌠😊🙏🏻🌸💫[…]
It is our belief in something that puts us under its influence. But even then, there is nothing greater than the Divine Himself. Before the
Alok da I am drowning. I need help. My parents are against me. I can’t live here another day. I’m losing myself and my mind. Only yell and shout at me.
I would rather advice that you sit with your parents, try to understand their viewpoint, and, if there is still some confusion, then listen to
