Dada, how to stop thinking? I mean, continuous thoughts are coming and going regarding useless things. Sri Aurobindo has said we have to watch thoughts and not attach any importance to them, but how should we do that? Or how to calm our minds and think about our Master’s only?๐๐ช๏ธ๐คฏ๐๐ง
While stopping of thoughts completely is not an easy thing, it is very much possible to direct the flow consciously towards an object. Thus, you
How do I distinguish between True messages from Mother and things made from my mind?โจ๐ชท๐ธ๐ค๐๏ธ
One needs a very quiet mind, a calm heart free from fear and desire to receive the true Guidance. The Mother has never advised journaling
Kindly let me know if the understanding below is incorrect: As SAT, CHIT, and ANANDA are the 3 aspects of PARABRAHMAN, meant for the manifestation in our universe, so are the infinite other aspects of PARABRAHMAN meant for the manifestation in many other universes. And that is how millions of universes, of different kinds, have been created by the Divine.๐๏ธ๐โจ๐๏ธ
Sat, Chit-tapas, Ananda are the three principle aspects. All other aspects such as Peace, Wisdom, Knowledge, Compassion, Strength, Beauty, Harmony, Love are derived from these
Recently, some friends came to my house, and our discussion turned to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, as they had also visited the Matrimandir and Auroville.

I have a question in my mind. Are the methods of chanting names and mantras different according to the scriptures? The detailed question is as follows:๐๏ธ๐ฟ๐งโโ๏ธโจ
These are universal mantras and do need any special or specific preliminary purification. They can be done by anyone and anytime. However mantras don’t work
During Ganesha chaturthi people play movie songs, may I dare say, in Sri Aurobindo’s language, the lower vital songs, doesn’t Lord Ganesha gets pissed at our stupidity? Or is Lord Ganesha seeking that vital energy from us through the festival? Yes I know I sound crazy but this got me thinking so much. When do people start respecting Ganu bappa as he’s supposed to be? I know we’re evolving and all. I wish it happens soon so that I can witness it. Most probably I’ll be there, as someone else in different region.ย ๐ฅ๐บ๐บ๐ฝ๐
He is not happy at all. But most of the time it is not Lord Ganesha himself but one of his ganas in the vital
Why was the Mother born in France and not in India? I mean I am aware everything is Her. Everywhere is Her. Just this brain of mine needs a rational answer or is just too curious than it needs to be. Either way please tell me.ย โ๏ธ๐ชท๐โจ๐ธ
The Mother was born in France because at that time France was the hub of intellectual and artistic renaissance in the Age of rational enlightenment
Different people have different opinions about banana shake. Modern science and gym goers consider it a good source for weight gain, whereas Ayurveda says that the combination of banana with milk is not good for digestion! So, Dada, should we drink banana shake or not?๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐
Banana is very good for gaining weight. In the Ashram Dining Room here Banana and milk are given everyday and hence I suppose it is
Sir, my question to you was why is Mother not helping and protecting us from these issues. I only get sleep because of medication, which is not a good thing in the long run. When Mother knows about our problems, why isn’t she guiding us and helping us get out of them?๐ก๏ธ๐ชฝ๐โจ
Why do you presume that the Divine Mother is not helping you? But there is something that we have to do to fully receive the
“Of course Christ has little to do with Christianity and the Bible and the institutionalized organised Church built around his name.ย ” If Bhagvat Gita, Bhagavadam, Brindavan have nothing to do with Shri krishna, then how willย anybody come to know Him?ย ๐โจ๐๐งโโ๏ธ

I get nauseous on buses. I even puked as we were approaching Auroville. Someone said that it’s the negative force going out of the body as we were nearing the sacred place and it made so much sense. The whole day I had to roam around Puducherry in that AC bus which made my journey worse. The next part of the camp was to visit the Ashram. There was a collective meditation. When I was just a kid of the Mother crying for Her. Why did I cry that way?ย ๐ก๐ณ๐๏ธ๐
Yes it is because your soul has recognised Her as your true Mother.
Gita 9-25: They who worship the gods go to the gods, to the (divinised) Ancestors go the Ancestor-worshippers, to elemental spirits go those who sacrifice to elemental spirits; but My worshippers come to Me. My questions: 1) What is meant by the (divinised) Ancestors?๐๐๏ธ๐ช๐ฆ
Divinised has been added to the word ancestors wrongly because it is believed that after death and crossing the vital world the ancestors enter the
Alok da, the story of Raja Harishchandra from the purans glorify the steadfastness of the raja to truth and integrity and in the end is blessed by lord Shiva for his chastity. However, in the process of living for his truth, he puts his wife and child through extreme perilous conditions. While the moral lesson as understood by masses is that benevolence should always be regarded as the ultimate dharma, are we missing out on any hidden aspects or probably lessons? Can the actions taken by Harishchandra be completely justified? [conti]๐โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐งน
We have to understand this story in the background of the Indian mind which lived extreme characters. The Western heroes are restless and aggrandised humans,
Naga guarding wealth, beings of vital worlds, hitler possessed by an asura. Occult world. What is all this happening? In the Geeta Bhagwan says that I am the source of all creation without my command not even a lead can move. Then who created asuras and naga to guard wealth?๐ช๐ต๐ฅ๐ฑ๐
All has come into creation from the Divine just as all the shades of colours including black come from the parent white.

The great Ramanujan was a very peculiar mathematical genius. In contrast to the greatest Western mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777โ1855), often called the prince of mathematics, who perceived mathematics as a logical cosmos to be carefully mapped with reason and proofโtreating it like a disciplined architect uncovering eternal structures with rigorous precisionโRamanujan approached it like a mystic, intuitively glimpsing patterns as revelations from a deeper reality. He experienced mathematics as a stream of divine intuition, with equations arriving like mantras revealed to his inner vision rather than deductions of the mind.๐งโ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง โ๐
Ramanujan himself often said his insights were gifts from Namagiri Thayar (Lakshmi of Namakkal), his familyโs goddess, who appeared in his dreams and visions, writing
Sometimes I think that I wish I had done this, or I wish I hadnโt done that. If the circumstances had been different, maybe everything would have been different. I always feel a sense of guilt. Even my mother tells me that if I had done this or not done that, my life would have been different. I am exhausted from carrying this guilt. How can I free myself from it?๐โ๏ธ๐ซฅ๐ง๏ธ
Every sensitive person passes through this critical self-evaluation at some point or the other. The simplest way to handle this is to understand that man
