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.ย
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.
I feel the pressure on my crown when I do meditation. Also, is this a common occurrence? This crown thing? It appears now and again randomly and gains momentum during meditation. Meditations have literally changed. It feels like as though I took a subtle bath(a rather risky turn of phrase ) every time I meditate. Why is this happening to me? When does the Force choose you? ๐งโจ๐๏ธ
Yes. Pressure upon the crown takes place before the full opening.
Many, many, many experiences come. It is best not to get too much into
Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.ย ๐๐ง โจ
People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read.
Every day I ask for help from Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Sir, can we ask for help in marriage, relationships, and job life also with Sri Aurobindo and The Mother? ๐ธ๐๐ผ๐ […]
You can ask anything and everything from the Mother and She will surely give it one way or the other. At the same time certain
So, who actually devised this “Vama Char” path of Tantra? Tantra practitioners claim it is a divine path to Moksha (liberation), albeit one that operates beyond societal norms. It originates from Lord Shiva, who imparted the Vigyan Bhairav โโTantraโa dialogue between Shiva and Parvatiโwherein Shiva reveals 112 techniques to her. ๐ฑ๐ฅ๐๏ธ […]
India is a land dedicated to all kinds of spiritual explorations and discoveries. It has opened several doors upon the Divine out of which Tantra,
Iย read your mail on Rasskreeda.ย I understood Steeling of the Gopis clothes,ย But my question was about ” Rasskreeda”: the conjugal attraction of the Gopis towards Sri Krishna when Krishna was hardly 10 years and the Gopis were married. ๐ฆโจ๐
The story is symbolic not an actual physical event. Sri Krishna is shown as a child implying the Divine within us who is growing in
Whenever an outer conflict or hurtful incident occursโespecially when someone weaponizes spiritual ideals to deflect accountabilityโI tend to shut down completely, even avoiding the Mother’s photographs, books, and presence. ๐ชท๐๏ธ๐[…]
Such thoughts as of unfitness etc come to almost every sadhak at some point or the other. These are suggestions from the forces that do
Sir, even after years of sadhana, reading, and constant prayers, I feel trapped in deep depression, fear, and shaking anxiety, as though my inner state has completely flatlined and remained unchanged for years. ๐๐๏ธ๐[…]
I understand the frustration that you feel. But all these various practices help only in arranging somewhat the outer circumstances. But as far as our
Alok Da, I wrote a reflection on a childhood memory of a ferocious storm where, amidst the thunder and scolding, catching a single raindrop opened me to a sudden, ecstatic realization: “The Lord is falling as rain.” Even without dramatic spiritual experiences in my daily sadhana, I find myself growing steadily calmer and far more at peace. ๐ง๏ธโจ๐[…]
It is powerful and cathartic. May the rain of Grace be upon you and fill you to the fill one day, drop by drop.
How to combine aspiration for the Divine with so many interests of life, like music, dance, the value of deep emotional bonding with people, enjoying the varied genres of movies that seem fantastic, competence in the work field, etc etc.? ๐ถ๐๐ฟ๐[…]
There are two ways of finding the Divine. One is to cut oneself off from all the various activities of the world in one’s seeking
Can you please share with me: 1. Sri Aurobindo’s writings on His Parabrahman experience.ย 2. Some of His and Sri Maa’s Sadhanas as written/hinted by them. ๐๐๐
The writings are too many. There are also wonderful biographies you could read. My favourite is Rishabhchand’s Biography of Sri Aurobindo. There is an All
What actually it means when you say in the talks bringing Life Divine onto earth? ๐โจ
Life is on a journey to discover higher and higher possibilities for the manifestation. This is what we call evolution whose secret driver is the
Alok Da, I often see my dead relatives in dreams, especially my grandparents and maternal uncle, who passed away 20, 12, and 6 years ago, respectively. Sometimes they look unhappy, sometimes worried about finances. ๐๐๏ธ๐[…]
Seeing dead relatives generally means coming in contact with things buried in the subconscious mind. It could be fears, perceived needs, unhappy relationships. It has
Quite a few conventions are broken by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.ย 1. The Mother appearing on the right side of Sri Aurobindo. Traditionally, Divine Mother’s aspects appear on the left of the Purusha (ex: Sita, Lakshmi, Parvathi). 2. Anti-clockwise climbing of stairs inside the Matri Mandir. ๐ ๐ชท […]
It is a complete freedom from the past, from the world as organised by the gods. This clean slate is needed to make a clear
Can you please explain personal, impersonal and transcendental divine experience, relating it to our day-to-day lives? ๐๐๏ธ๐
The Divine is one but He is accessible and can be experienced on one of these three poises and / or ultimately in all the
Dear Alokda, I was deeply close to my grandmother, but living abroad, I could not be physically present when she passed away two years ago. I recently learned that during her final three days, she repeated my name continuously, like a japa, until her departure.๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐[…]
It means that she was quite attached to you. I am sure something of her must have come in contact with you even though you
These three words have the same meaning or different meanings depending on the context. Transfiguration, Transmutation, Transformation. ๐โจ

To bring a child into the world to look after oneself in old age is the most selfish reason one can conceive of. The one
Why do we embrace our ego and sense of I-ness?ย Even if it does not do us good? ๐ช๐ฑ
Good question. The ego sense has been given to us to help us make conscious individual choices. This is an important stage of evolution else
