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 remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]
He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so
Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]
Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main Scriptures. It is a story added in some of
How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨
The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in
My father’s elder brother’s daughter’s son falls in love with a girl and married her. Since the girl belonged to a different caste, I adopted her according to Brahmin traditions and performed the Kanyadana (ritual giving away of the bride) to my sister’s son. 🤝🌼[…]
What you have done is a sweet gesture out of necessities of the traditional marraige. It is a kind of apad dharma which is not
You said order, harmony, frankness, wideness, clarity are good. Not chaos and hesitation. Also, that Silence is often a golden thing. One’s feelings and thoughts and ideas should be offered and shared with the Divine. Unless there is something of crucial importance where speaking out is needed. 💬🕊️ […]
Speaking and sharing are surely beautiful things and important ingredients of a relationship. But this sharing should generally be of a beautiful nature, for example
Sometimes, when we sit alone Or during also a work, a known person’s image comes to mind all of a sudden though we have no physical or mobile contact. Then with unconsciously, I think about him or her for a while, then I suddenly wakeup to my conscious state & tell myself ‘what are you doing?’. 💭🧠[…]
This kind of sudden intrusion of images generally happens because of the sudden activity in the physical mind which is closely connected to the subconscient.
As I mentioned before, the issue I am facing right now, is not a personal one, soo many students like me facing the same problem. So, last night the authority called me and discussed the issue with me. I was astonished that they were blaming me because I have put some photos of Maa and Sri Aurobindo and some of my favourite ones.🎓🧭 […]
Universities are meant for studies. One should carefully avoid any kind of politics one way or the other. It has nothing to do with bravery
You mentioned: “There is a need to learn, to become conscious, to discard certain tendencies that are harmful to our overall progress, and thus to keep moving forward.” 🙏🏻🌱 […]
The general verdict about the single most important quality that greatly helps in spiritual life as well as our usual life is faith. Faith is
There are lines in Savitri Our least stumbling are foreseen above 📖🌱 […]
What we call as errors are part of the play. Just as a child who knows not to walk and stumbles while the parents look
Is it okay to distance ourselves from people who we feel bring our energy down? Invest our time and effort wisely. Even if they take offence. Is it okay to let go of long standing acquaintances and relationships for one’s growth. 🤝🌱
It is certainly a help, even a great help sometimes as it reinforces our good and beautiful side and aspects. Of course provided we do
How to develop more faith in The Mother? 🙏🏻🌱
Faith is something we can always ask from Her. Faith grows when we understand this simple truth that the Divine surely knows what is best
I had a dream where I was at my mother’s house and saw two snakes. They were not black; one had brown patterns or markings on its body. I felt quite scared when I saw them. One of the snakes was thick and moving slowly, but it wasn’t attacking or harming anyone. 🐍🌙[…]
The snakes at your mother’s house seem to be the remnants of some past heredity tendencies that are there in the subconscient nature. They are
In a dream, I was standing with my partner and a friend in front of a Hanuman Ji idol. It was a simple clay idol, without any sindur on it. We noticed that one of the fingers next to His thumb was missing. We were discussing how, for Hanuman Ji, it wouldn’t be difficult to get back the missing finger. 🙏🏻✨[…]
Interesting vision of living Hanuman Ji. It was not just an idol but the real presence.
Since it was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I happened to see many unknown live-recorded clips of the attacks and I cannot help but think there is something so eerie and demonic about the colossal scale at which violence is unleashed in modern times.🌍🕊️[…]
Why should you worry or fear? If you believe that you are The Mother’s child, then where is the room for any anxiety or worry?
Have you reached that stage Alok da, where people and situations just don’t bother u now. You’re over and above it all ? Steady… 🧭🕊️
As to people and what they think or say about me never mattered since I am conscious of, even as an adolescence. It was partly
I seem to be naturally attracted to knowledge and spiritual study. Reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, reflecting on their teachings, and contemplating spiritual truths give me a deep sense of meaning and fulfillment. 📚🌱[…]
It is a beautiful sign of being taken up by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The soul and mind has opened. It is just a
Alok Da, this is too radical for me. Please ground this for me. I am not challenging you in any way. I want to see the writings of Mother/Sri Aurobindo where they say that “option 2” or “getting his hands dirty” is how the Divine works. 📖🪷
There are no such exact answers to exact questions like options one or two. In fact I could equally say none of the above or
Despite my spiritual dedication to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I find myself struggling with strong lower impulses, insecurity, and destructive anger that ultimately ruined a meaningful relationship. 🕊️🌱[…]
What you need is to first grow the strong foundations. These foundations are needed in life as well as in yoga. The foundations required is
