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.
Truly, it gives emotional satisfaction, at least for now, that heart and nature can indeed be purified. I’ve been reading and understanding Mother and Gurudev’s words… especially that total change of consciousness, complete reversal of consciousness and a radical change of nature are the issue. ๐บ๐๐๐ป[…]
Turn whole-heartedly to the Divine Mother, hand over yourself and all your difficulties to Her. Call Her Name as often as you can. Read Savitri
The idea of โโdedicating every event and thought in our lives to the Divine is truly noble; it has deeply resonated with me. In fact, our scriptures and authoritative texts clearly articulate this very principle. However, I am unsure about what I should learn or how I should begin. ๐ฅ๐๐๐ป[…]
The idea of living for the Divine, becoming an instrument of the Divine, must change into a living aspiration for the Divine. It is aspiration,
Iย have always had a low level of attachment to my physical existence. I “float” and experience most physical phenomena in a supervisory/vicarious way unless I am very intentionally grounding myself. Is there a name/word for this? ๐ง๐ฟ[…]
Dissociative episode is simply a term that explains nothing. There are other terms that equally do not help us. Some people simply have a poor
After I wrote to you, since then Mother has taken away the sting and bitterness and recoil I was feeling every time I thought about the incident. I will try to do what you say, but I feel ill-equipped to teach her these values of resilience and detachment when I struggle so much with them. It’s like the blind leading the blind. ๐ผ๐๐ป […]
This is just the right way, to recognise what needs to change and then offer them to Her with the aspiration for the needed change,
I am dreading this week. Family is visiting, and the forced bonding is already spiking my cortisol. They are completely wrapped up in their own echo chamberโtheir lineage, their lifestyle, and their Guru are the “absolute best,” and they constantly try to convert me or “pray for my suffering.” ๐๏ธ๐ผ[…]
I can fully understand all these old world ways of life that often feel so stifling. But the more one tries to reason out, the
Is Integral Education meant for conventional schools? Because by large if we see most of the organisations(schools) work for the sake of business and even though if they show some curiosity in implementing Integral Education in their schools it remains on the surface. ๐๐ฑ[…]
Integral Education implies two main ideas. First and foremost that the Education, to be complete must include the development of all the different parts of
Shri Krishna mantras can help us get liberation from past mistakes and their consequences. In this context, a final curiosity has arisen in my heart: ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป […]
Let me explain once again. Sri Krishna does not see the way we see. Sin, forgiveness are human concepts, not the Divine. ..
Do Integration of one individual itself in the realization of the Ultimate love? ๐โจ
The integration of the individual self is the first victory of love. The further victory of love is the integration of the individual with cosmic
Please accept my sincere regards. I have never been able to fully understand what this world truly is. Yet amidst this crowd, this noise, and this illusion, finding God perhaps is the most difficult journey of all. Sometimes it feels as though He exists everywhere, and at other times, it seems an entire lifetime may pass in the search for Him. ๐โจ๐๐ป
In its essence this world and all other worlds, in fact the whole creation is nothing but a manifestation of the Divine who is the
Sri Aurobindo says there is no shortcut to Divinity. Does it mean that, apart from understanding of yoga, one must fulfil certain moral, ethical responsibilities towards family or people before one can practise consecration to the Divine, union, realization of the Divine, etc.? ๐ชท๐๐ป
No no no. Moral, ethical, social notions have little to do with the true spiritual life. There are number of examples of authentic spiritual Masters
I have a question, Alok Da: I recently experienced a profound, day-long state of healing, peace and detachment after contemplating that true divinity lies beyond all determinations. By consciously releasing my sense of being the “doer” and shifting to “Thy Will be done,” I moved from a state of critical analysis to one of surrender. ๐๏ธ๐๐ป[…]
What you tried earlier is the way of discernment characteristic of gyana yoga. Here one relies almost entirely upon one’s own efforts.

The counsellor didnโt help Alok da. lol. Modern day psychiatry / philosophy is all based on medication and drugโs. For them smoking and lsd is normal. Stress is normal. Emotions not. Sensitivity not. She prescribed pills for me. I guess turning to God / Maa is best. ๐ผ๐๐ป
Yes, that is how the extreme reductionist view works. Of course medicines have their own limited role when the mind enters a too chaotic or
I had a curious dream and I remember it perfectly, so I wanted to consult you about it. I saw a picture from a distant and elevated place. In the picture, I saw a one floor building, in a shape of a perfect square and with no roof on it. The building was further sectioned into 4 perfect squares. There were also non ๐โจ […]
It is not just a dream but a very beautiful experience that revealed to you the truth of your destiny, your true destiny, even a
ย I do have a lots of questions to ask, but I will ask one by one. Bhai, as per my nature, I love to stay alone, far from the crowd, but I am the same person who gets literally talkative with my close ones. To realise the divine presence, I try to avoid crowds, but I think I am doing it the wrong way. ๐๏ธ๐ชท […]
The key is not what we outwardly do or do not do, whether we speak more or less. The key is to remember The Mother
Requesting your prescription for growing in the Presence and closeness of the Master and Mother through whatever work, especially when physicaly away from the Ashram.ย Gratitude ๐๐ป๐ผ
Here is a prescription straight from the Lord and Master which would be the best for you. Frame it carefully in the inner chamber of
Is it true that the ashram school employs secular teachers from outside, as there is a dearth of disciples and ex-students contributing to teaching in the school? If disciples from outside are being employed, it is well and good. ๐๐[…]
There is no truth in the Ashram hiring any teacher, secular or otherwise. No student is charged and no teacher is paid. Most of the
I am writing to you with deep humility and surrender to share a few intense experiences that have been happening in my sadhana, especially in the physical body. I feel guided to bring these to the notice of someone deeply connected with Sri Aurobindoโs work. ๐ชทโจ […]
The experiences you describe are quite classical of the kundalini awakening as a result of the Motherโs Force touching the crown and descending from above
Why is non-veg food allowed in the Ashram? ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
Non-veg is not part of any meal provided by the Ashram to its inmates and visitors via the Dining Room. Chicken is however allowed to
