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.
These days, I see many people who are unhappy and unsatisfied with their jobs, even when the pay is good. They are only continuing to do it because of their financial circumstances. 😣🏢💸[…]
It is a good sign if one is dissatisfied with life as it is today. It is an even better sign if one is seeking
What to do when your near ones have turned hostile? Should you take it as Maa has placed them in your life so you could show them some light, or let them be? Tough call, right? 😫💔❤️🩹[…]
The signs of a person who has turned hostile towards the Divine are anger towards the Divine and those who manifest something or the other
Alok bhai, could you throw some light on the Mantra: ‘Om Tat Sat Jyotir Aravinda’?🕉️😊🙏🏻🪷
Soon after completing his personal sadhana on the 24th November 1926 (Siddhi), Sri Aurobindo wrote these following Mantras in his notebook. …
Alok da, I am a male of 26 years old, and a lot of Information on Semen Retention, says that it is very beneficial for spiritual progress. What are your thoughts on it? And how long is required for us to retain? Has Sri Aurobindo or the Mother ever spoken about it? 🤔⚡🏋🏼♂️
Put very simply, from the energy point of view, the energy that goes into sexual reproduction is the same energy that, if conserved and sublimated,
I was discussing with my uncle that Sri Krishna is a God of Overmind and Sri Aurobindo is of Supermind. It seemed like Sri Krishna deliberately didn’t say anything about the Supermind in Dwaparayuga, just for Sri Aurobindo to say it in Kaliyuga? 🫡🌄💫
Well, yes mankind was not ready for the greater truth. That is why the Avatars follow a line of evolutionary progress rather than exhausting every
Why do I keep seeing Repetitive Numbers? I feel a vibe when I see them, but I could never understand what it is trying to convey, if at all it carries any meaning. And to make the situation more confusing, I don’t see a particular number; they are random but repetitive. E.g. 777, 444, 7070, 13:13, 5.55 🔢😖🔢
It is a certain affinity in the mind, either due to the past or simply as a possibility in the present. Need not feel confused
Dear Alok da, I offer flowers to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother every day. Some days the flowers look still fresh, though not completely fresh, they are still not withered, and I don’t feel like throwing and replacing them because they are a day old. Is it ok to leave them as such, or is it better to replace fresh ones every day with the offering attitude? 💐😊🙏🏻✨
Though there can be no fixed rule at home but replacing is not needed at home if the flowers are fresh. Some of them like
Is it entirely a coincidence that Sri Krishna reveals His Vishwaroop in the Gita, and on that, after millennia, Sri Aurobindo writes such visceral chapters on this Aspect of Sri Krishna’s Vision of the World Spirit as Time, the Destroyer, at a particular historical juncture? 🦚🪶💥[…]
Yes, absolutely true. I have read most of the major commentaries on the Gita but nowhere one finds such a lucid description and the deeper
Today I was thinking about donating money to the beggars, and a thought came to me that if a beggar is in good health, why shouldn’t he work for himself and earn his own money? I also believe that it is the evolutionary struggle that will help them to develop, and if I provide any money, it will create a hindrance to the same. 🤔❤️🔥💰🌻[…]
You are absolutely right, without a doubt. The Gita even goes on to say that something given without due consideration of Time, place and circumstance
One of your answers about Marriage is that it is for going together for Higher Consciousness and for Sadhana. Each one respect each other. After 23 years of marriage, if the husband’s aim is only to lead an ordinary life and, in each step, humiliate and disrespect the wife, then what will the wife do? 😣🧑🏻🤝👩🏻🌼[…]
It is for this reason that the ego has been given to man, to ensure that the self-development of the individual is not stifled or
Alok da, it’s been like two-three years since I got an introduction to Savitri, and discourses upon it by M P Pandit, yours and others. I intuitively knew – this is a text that I should be carrying like an inner recitation throughout my life from now on, but still I came to postponing and delaying totally getting into it all this time. 😊🙏🏻🌻📖[…]
Reading Savitri everyday is itself a Yoga. If you can do this with quietude and inner concentration, a page a day or more, contemplate upon
How should one begin to Live Within? When I am engaged with the outside world, then where shall I focus in myself while doing it? 😊❤️🔥🪷
While engaged in various kinds of activities, your focus should be in the heart, in the center, on the Mother’s Presence. You could visualise her
I have a weak left knee. I tend to sit on a stool and meditate. Someone told me that sitting cross-legged was more spiritual and that I should try to sit cross-legged on the floor. They added that sitting cross-legged is better yogically and that it also prevents arthritis. Is this correct? 😥🦵🏼🧘🏼♂️
Whatever be the merits of sitting cross-legged from the physical point of view, its spiritual benefits are doubtful. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother never advised
Dada, sometimes when I see the sky I see some lightening particles covering the Sky. It has been happening for two years. Not every moment, but spontaneously, the particles appear and then vanish, where my eyes can find them incidentally. What is this? Is it real or some assumption of my mind? 😃🌃💫✨
It is a true experience and indicates an opening to subtle vision.
Dear Alokda In Balakandam of Valmiki Ramayana, the following sloka gives the curse of Parvathi on the Earth (during the birth of Skandha): “अवने नैकरूपा त्वं बहुभार्या भविष्यसि ।।1.36.23।। न च पुत्रकृतां प्रीतिं मत्क्रोधकलुषीकृता । प्राप्स्यसि त्वं सुदुर्मेधे मम पुत्रमनिच्छती ।।1.36.24।।” 🙂🙏🏻📙🌏[…]
The curse of the gods and the realised seers are often a blessing in the obverse. The many Masters are the kings who will rule
Dear Alok da, I see some edits to the original photographs or symbols of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. These are usually done by some well-meaning devotees. Some recent examples are – instead of the lotus and water inside the square of Sri Aurobindo’s symbol, someone placed the Mother’s symbol in the square; I once saw Sri Aurobindo’s Dec. 1950 photo sleeping on the bed, taken chest-up, turned 90 degrees to make it as if He is standing with eyes closed. 🤔🖼️✨[…]
Ideally one should not shift or rotate the photograph. Some touch up is understandable since no photo can ever capture the ‘real thing’. However if
In the Evening Talks, Sri Aurobindo said that there is no ground for the existence of Rama. But he has defended the Avatarhood of Sri Rama in his Letters on Yoga. What is the Truth? 🏹📙🤔
I am not sure where is this said about Rama about the non-existence of Rama in the Evening Talks. Sri Aurobindo has very much included
Can two individual Souls travel together on the Mother’s path? 👦🏼❤️🔥👧🏼
Yes, very much so and support and even strengthen each other’s aspiration. However there is one condition. It is this that they should get free
