I grew up thinking of homosexuality as a perversion and still it feels as such to me. However, I recently discovered that it was normalized in ancient Greece, which came as a big shock to me.

After hearing the detailed description of Samadhi during a talk on Yoga-Samanvaya (The Synthesis of Yoga), a question arose in my mind: the place at the Pondicherry Ashram that we call Sri Aurobindo’s Samadhi—is that perhaps the most fitting name for it?

In the beginning, yoga is an unstable equilibrium. Peace is won, tested, lost, and rebuilt. A healthy body, refined vital, sincerity, faith, and aspiration are rare; genuine bhakti rarer still. Every moment becomes a test of sincerity. Sir, please share a few words of guidance for beginners. 🌸🙏🏻
There are two paths of yoga as has always been known. The first is an excessive reliance upon oneself, one’s own efforts etc. This leads
Does every situation teach us? Is there good hidden in every aspect/circumstance in life? 🌱💡

Sir, I had a dream two days ago. Could you please help me understand its possible significance? I was with a friend, and we were in distress because the world was witnessing a massive flood.

Connecting the dots began when Their words gave meaning and touch to my life. When adverse forces rushed in and urged me to escape the cosmos, Sri Arvind and Sri MA anchored me with the truth that Her work is to be done right here on Earth.

Can the ego be converted? If so, how? Psychic individuality is the need. Even if the ego is converted, will it allow the Psychic to come forward and take over ? I was told i am ruled by my ego.

Conversion of the ego means that instead of turning towards the satisfaction of desires and being at the mercy of every stroke of nature it
