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.
Da, I saw your YouTube video on the topic of the subconscious mind. I understand it. Feel it. And I would like to know how to stop my subconscious and conscious mind from overthinking. 🙂🔥🌻[…]
Death is never a sweet thing unless one is conscious of the Divine. We are here to progress through all the challenges of life. But
I have been listening to your discourse on the Bhagavatam every Tuesday. I wanted to ask you if there is any particular translation of the Bhagavatam that you recommend? Secondly, I understand that Sri Aurobindo translated a portion of it. In which book of Sri Aurobindo can I find those translations? 📖🪈🍃
I am referring to the standard complete Two Volume set of the Srimadabhagawatam.
The translated portion is in the volume on Translations.
Thank you for your previous response regarding the Mind and Consciousness. Could you please explain how to differentiate between the two? I would appreciate further clarification on how to identify which aspects of my personality belong to the Mind and which belong to Consciousness. 😊🙏🏻🌻
Consciousness is a fundamental fact. Mind is only an instrument built by Consciousness to express itself in ways that are tangible. For example, as the
Many people say that people in India do not follow their traditions as strictly as they once did, and that there is growing resistance, especially among the younger generation, toward maintaining cultural practices. 🥮🕯️[…]
I am not sure about China and Japan of today. There is a general decline in culture everywhere and it is not without its purpose.
Last night I had a dream that I remember a little bit. I go to sleep, and I wake and go somewhere and then. I come back, turn on the light and there are snakes all over the floor, coiled up, and I walk slowly and carefully so as not step on them. 🐍🔥😊🔥🐍[…]
Good. Sign of overcoming your fears with the help of the Divine Presence.
Bande Mataram Dada. In the ‘Evening Talk with Sri Aurobindo’ book, Page No. 129, 21 January 1925, Sri Aurobindo replied, “For doing this yoga he has to decide finally what he intends to do when he goes out of Jail.” About which jail, He has mentioned, is the questioner in the jail, or anything symbolic? 📖🤔❤️🔥
It is about the disciple who was in jail at that time, possibly Sudhir Kumar Sarcar.
For me, my mind is my consciousness. I guess this is not true. Can you please explain the difference between Mind and Consciousness in simple words? 🤯💫🌻
Consciousness very simply means awareness plus the power to act. We can use the term knowledge and will. The question is whether animals and plants
I feel the main impediment in my Sadhana is sexual thoughts, which definitely arise sometimes during the day. I am trying to remember the mother to reject them, but then I am getting very strong and vivid sexual dreams. What should I do? 😣🦋
Sexual urge is very strong at your age, – in fact at all ages since it is deeply rooted in the body’s biology. At your
I am quoting from your answer: “This implies a constant practice of equanimity as well as a complete faith in the Divine that whatever is needed will come.” – You mean to say then one need not even think of his bodily needs, like eating, drinking, and a place for living, a sleeping bed, health care, etc., if one has complete faith. 🥸🦋🌻[…]
The Gita, speaks to sarvasankalpasannyasi and Yogakshemavahamyaham. These are not mere words or hollow promises. At least such has been the experience of those who
I am not sure what to do. Mother has been working on my body for it to get pregnant for such a long time. We tried naturally for the last 5 years and finally we went for IVF and now even that has failed. Sometimes my attitude is not right, sometimes my body. 🤰🏼🦋😰[…]
The Divine is not there to fulfil our ignorant desires. Why push and force our ignorant will on God, who knows much better than us
What if the desire to hold on — the attachment — isn’t rooted in pride or the need to show ownership, but rather in a deep sense of care? A quiet protectiveness, born not from materialism, but from love. What if it’s not about clinging to possessions, but about holding close the people who matter most — not out of selfishness, but from the fear of loss?🤔🌼✨[…]
Yes, attachment and care are not necessarily a negative movement. They are indeed a form of Sattwic love which is certainly higher than the gross
Why do I feel a massive weight in all of my nerves mind and body when I read Sri Aurobindo even for a single page, a single page of a poem like Ilion or a single page of Synthesis of Yoga or the Life Divine as if this pouring out from a too vast a source and I cannot hold it, this unease doesn’t even come when I sit down with any of my tough academic books. 😵💫🫣🌅🌻[…]
What Sri Aurobindo is giving us is a complete roadmap, the entire truth, the broad idea and the total landscape of the human evolutionary journey
I fully understand the difference in the Goal and Execution of the Integral Yoga, as I keep discovering my true passion for Service to the Divine. Also, I understand that it’s fully on one’s own True Aspiration and need. 😊🙏🏻❤️🔥✨[…]
Yes, your thoughts are flowing in quite the right direction. Copying something from the Mother which resonates.
‘If one can be like this, open—truly
Alok da, in one of the YouTube videos, I heard someone mention that the Kalyan was over, and that too in 2012. But what I read online about it differs. Can you help me understand this? Thank you, Alok da. 😊🙏🏻🌄
Perhaps you mean Kaliyuga? Yes if we go by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother the manifestation of the New Creation which is the Truth-Creation literally,
Alok da, in one of your talks, you mentioned how sexual activity is interrelated with ageing, but couldn’t elaborate upon it because the subject matter for the talk is different and in another talk, you’ve briefly said that you wouldn’t recommend having more than one kid in today’s times. 😊🙏🏻🏵️[…]
The sexual potency in terms of erection, sperm count and intercourse have all been coming down on an average especially in the Western World leading
If the fundamental Nature of the Universe is bound by Space and Time, while a Supreme Creator — by definition — must transcend Space and Time, does this imply that the Universe is not Divine in Itself but rather a manifestation of a spaceless, timeless God? 🌠✨🤔
If the Creator were only above the creation, transcending Space and Time then your proposition would be valid. But according to Sanatana Dharma as well
Since long I have been thinking to write you but every time I become still after listening your audios . All hindrances, Clouds of Queries vanishes at once. Still I wish to write you today . How the Divine and his grace will be remain with me constantly ?
Sri Aurobindo has described it in the Mother beautifully. ‘To walk through life armoured against all fear, peril and disaster, only two things are needed,
What’s the best way to always stay connected with The Mother? 🤗❤️🔥🪷✨
