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.
Dear Alok Da, I write with deep respect to navigate a personal dilemma as I seek to purify my bhakti in the flames of knowledge rather than rely on borrowed piety. While I fully embrace Sri Aurobindo’s vision, I struggle with praying to the Divine in human form when subtler, transcendent dimensions of that same reality exist, and I find opening to The Mother through mental instruction or tradition challenging from a distance. 😥🙏🏻🌼🍂[…]
There is nothing disrespectful about what you write. There are many seekers who start this way. The Mother herself has confirmed that generally seekers turn
Dear Sir, In Sri Aurobindo’s Letters on Yoga, he says, “The faith that goes to the Cosmic Divine is limited in the power of its action by the necessities of the play. To get entirely free from these limitations one must reach the Transcendent Divine.” – Is The Mother the Transcendent Divine and must we put our faith in her, or is there something else Sri Aurobindo is talking about? Please elaborate. 📖😊🙏🏻🌼
The Cosmic Divine is Sri Krishna, the Divine who works in the world through the agency of Time and the gods and operates according to
Dada, nowadays I feel a strong pressure that comes from my heart and spreads to every part of my body. It has extended to the sex part also. That pressure is very strong; it seems the pressure has consumed all parts of my being. It is also affecting my biological heart. That pressure gives a strong peace, the right direction, sincerity, and easily rejects the lower movement. 🙂❤️🔥🌸🌼
It is a true experience, the experience of the psychic coming forward and influencing mind, life and body as they function in the present lower
Respected Sir, is there any difference between Supramental Being and Supramental Man? 😊🙏🏻🪷❤️🔥
Supramental being means an earthly being, created through the evolutionary process, that embodies the supramental consciousness. It is the new race that is yet to
In a relationship between husband and wife, if one of the spouses is not in alignment in thought with the other and if there are constant battles between them for various other reasons, is it wise to continue the relationship or abandon it? 🥀👨🏼❤️🩹👩🏼
It depends. Generally if the couple are not in sync with core issues, and if instead of accepting if not supporting each other, they are
Why, in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga, is the focus not on the number of followers? Why are there so few followers compared to others? 🤔👥🛕🍂
What numbers do you need? Who is saying that sincere people are not welcome? They anyways come and become part of the work. Who is
I noticed that I find myself in a state of inner war all the time. I see hostility in people, and I view everything from the point of view of a struggle for domination and power. Each relationship is a struggle for power and domination: who is the strong leader and who is a weak follower. 😣🥀🙏🏻🦋[…]
This is not something to be processed as much as to be outgrown. It is the vestige of our animal past that has grown through
Dada, I love reading discourses with disciples; how did some of them go away? To even share a glance with them is a Grace. To know about them is itself a Grace; then why does one get separated or distant? I get scared sometimes: what if my foolishness in dealing with my vices takes me far from them… ☹️🙏🏻🌼🪷
Those who went away were those who, despite Sri Aurobindo’s repeated cautions, could not or rather refused to open to The Mother. They did not
When I came to this place, the people here are like, “Why are you worshipping them like God?!” Will you jump from the building if Sri Aurobindo tells you to? You yourself aren’t an evolved being; how will you represent their teachings? 💔😥🙏🏻🌼[…]
Faith is the starting point of any journey. When one says that one must question everything doesn’t it imply faith in one’s ability to find
Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth — as in Savitri, where the soul “drinks experience like a strengthening wine.” Is this broadly correct? 😊🙏🏻🌼🍂
Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and
Being an employee and in Society, as a seeker of Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, should we avoid going to marriages and other social events? 💒👥🤔🌸🦋
Social interactions are best avoided as they lead often to vital interchange during which one often loses much that is gained as a result of
I’m talking of Evil and Occult, Alok da… I’m coming to realise there is so much more than meets the eye in Spirituality – black magic, spells, etc. In that sense, not sattvic. There is, as you rightly mentioned before, much more pretense in spiritual spheres. 👥👹🍂🍂[…]
A distinction needs to be made here between the occult and the spiritual. The occult belongs to the hidden dimensions of our being, the complex
Dear Sir, I have a question bothering me, troubling me. I have asked you before on your YouTube Channel via Comments. But I just can’t understand…. how the Divine Mother can get sick or have back trouble. 🤔👵🏼🌼🧬[…]
This is so with every Avatar. Though they are a direct intervention of the Divine, they take a human body and with it all the
Sri Aurobindo describes the four great aspects of the Divine Mother — Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati. How should a sadhak in Integral Yoga relate to these four aspects in daily life? 😊🙏🏻🪷🍀[…]
The four aspects of the Divine Mother have been described by Sri Aurobindo to make it little easier for us to comprehend something of the
I am wondering if there is something in particular to be aware of in a work environment with all kinds of possibly negative vibrations. I work in a restaurant kitchen, and on top of the general stress, there can be some tense personal relations. 🍽️👨🏼🍳❤️🩹👥[…]
Yes, it does happen due to the collective atmosphere in a public place. While doing Naam Japa and offering the day to the Divine Mother
So, Alok Da, until the time that I don’t organically open to the Mother with the revelation that She indeed is the Divine… How do I pray? How do I ask for Grace and from Whom? 😐🙏🏻🪷🍂
Even if one is unable to pray it is still possible to aspire. Aspiration is independent of belief even though there is a kind of
What was the relationship between Krishna and Draupadi? In many of your talks, you said that Draupadi is the manifestation of Kali? Was she a Divine Incarnation? 👵🏼🔱😊🙏🏻🌼
Yes the Mahabhagawat Purana, a deeply mystical literature describes Draupadi as an incarnation of Kali. But that apart, the story of her birth from the
Alok da, I need your guidance in my personal life because I can’t understand what to do. I am 36 years old. I have 1 girl child 9 year old. I left my job (Asst. Prof in Civil Eng.) after marriage. For the past 4 years, I have been confused about what to do in daily life. 👩🏼👩🏼🍼🌼🍂[…]
