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.
This is a paragraph from the book A PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. “Basil, my dear boy, puts everything that is charming in him into his work. The consequence is that he has nothing left for life but his prejudices, his principles, and his common sense. The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. ๐๐จ […]
As you know this novel by Oscar Wilde is a dark sattire, the portrait of a man who sells his soul for superficial pleasures. Basil
When certain life situations seem repetitive and cyclical, what are we to do? How to act differently and transcend it so it doesnโt recur?ย Also, can we ever save someone from doom – or is it their karma and they have to go through it? We see ours… and continue with our life path. ๐๐ฑ๐๐ป
Repetitive situations come to teach us something about ourselves. But we often keep looking at the situation and end up blaming others thereby losing the
What happens if we continue to explore and keep the vital connection and think of that only as love?ย If we enter into a relationship and marriage for gains/conveniences. Will the relationship evolve, or will we plummet? Is it very important to seek character?ย ๐๐ฟ[…]
All depends upon the foundation of the relationship. If the basis is vital it is destined to crashland today or tomorrow. If instead there is
Regarding the question of the avatar, a person expressed the view that there has never been a fully realized being on Earth, as such a state is impossible when incarnated in a body; the body imposes limitations on us.ย From my perspective, I therefore conclude that the ultimate question is that of the Avatar. โจ๐ […]
In my view this answer is a non-starter. Who can speak about the realisations of others? We can draw intellectual conclusions based on the available
Following your recent video on self-discovery, I am trying to understand how to practically find my swadharma. I feel torn between a desire to explore science (despite hitting its limits and doubting my own capacity) and an urge for adventure and discipline, like joining the armed forces.๐งญ๐ฑ[…]
The first needed for achieving anything is to develop the faculty of concentration. It means that the mind should be able to hold the subject
Dear Alok-da, I have two questions regarding this: one concerning Savitri and the other about my dreamโ”I saw the Omnipotentโs flaming pioneers Over theโฆ” ๐๐ป๐๏ธ […]
It is good that you have understood that in Yoga we focus on changing ourselves and not others. If we are sincere then everything, even
I’m able to practice, or at least try to practice, being a witness to happenings outside, but I’m not able to understand or try to be a witness to happenings inside me. Stepping back and not rushing to act is ok, but how do I be a witness to myself? ๐๏ธ๐ฅ […]
It comes by practice, the practice of watching over one’s thoughts and feelings, one’s will and impulses, most importantly to dig out the hidden motive
Sri Aurobindo loved parijat flowers. Which flower did the Mother like? ๐น๐ชท

Sometimes, the Mother describes chakras (centres) as ‘centre’ and sometimes as “solar plexus”… (ref. CWM:7:248, CWM:4:286, CWM:6:311 ). What is the difference between chakra (centre) and “solar plexus”? ๐งโจ […]

What is ‘Mother’s work’? Is it work done in dedication to the Mother, or something else? ๐๐ป๐ […]

Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to my mother to help me overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. ๐๐ฟ
A marraige that does not fulfil certain basic conditions is not a marraige at all but a forced togetherness for both. Love and mutual respect
My intuition about life, love and happiness has always been proven wrong. Still, I live with an intuition for a dreamful life. This sometimes gives pleasure and sometimes pain; are there any options to move out? ๐ฑโจ
It is not your intuition or dream or aspiration for a beautiful, happy life with love as its core and minister that is wrong. It
Just had a phone call with an astrologer + tantra expert from Tarapith, West Bengal, regarding my situation. He told me that he made offerings to Mahakal related to my problems and said ki aapke upar kala jaadu hua hai by some muslim tantrik. ๐๐ป๐๏ธ[…]

Dear Dada, in my family, we argue heatedly about the interpretation of Sri Aurobindoโs yoga. These discussions end with everyone remaining entrenched in their own convictions and feeling personally offendedโto the point where old grievances resurface. How can we grow together in this yoga? Thank you. ๐๏ธ๐๐ป
It is seldom that one can build harmony through discussions. Mind, by its nature divides the integral truth and takes each portion for the whole.
I had a bad dream where I was playing cricket and in the middle of nowhere a dinosaur came and ate me, and I got trapped and couldnโt escape. Help, please. ๐๐๐ป
As you know Dinosaur are extinct. Being eaten up by a dinosaur means being overwhelmed by non-existent fears, not your own fears but fears from
I read the response regarding social relationships, and another question came to mind. If we live apart from others, don’t we risk becoming modern-day hermits who, the moment they encounter the outside world, fall back into the games of an ego that was merely dormant? ๐ฑ๐๏ธ[…]
We can compare it as the three stages in the growth of a plant. There is the seed stage. This is when we are buried
If all is done by the Divine, then what about our personal responsibility and the karmic consequences? ๐๐๐ป

Sri Aurobindo talks about Man, Pran and Sharir. Is it the same as Annamaya kosh, Pranmay kosh and Manomaya kosh in Sanatan philosophy? ๐๐ฟ
