My parents both have contracted viral swine flu. They are both very old: 74, 82. I am in the US, and they are in India. At this age, I feel guilty about not being there to take care of them. At this age, they have gotten a bit more obstinate than usual and it’s tough to negotiate with them on the phone. 👵👴🌸🙏 […]
It is not uncommon that children move to far and distant places for better financial and professional prospects. It is part of the general social
There is a concept of ‘Supreme Self’ which is associated with divine personalities. Can the Mother, with her numerous powers and the role she has taken up on earth for all of us, be included as a Supreme Self? 🌸⚡✨🙏
She is not only the Supreme Self but even more so the Consciousness and Power of the Supreme Self. Without Her the Supreme Self would
Whenever I turn my attention inward or close my eyes, a very gentle current begins to descend—what is this? Secondly, during meditation, my consciousness follows wherever this current moves, and at times it spontaneously draws me deep into the heart. 💗🌊🧘🙏[…]
This soft flow is the psychic feeling. It originates from the depth of the heart and flows towards the rest of your nature.

Dear Sir, please explain the following: “If the mind still needs the more familiar mental conception, it can be kept so long as it is needed; only do not let the soul be bound by it and do not let it limit the inflow of other relations with the Divine and larger forms of experience.”: Sri Aurobindo: Letters on Yoga. Q1: How to ensure that the mental conceptions do not bound and limit the soul? 🧠✨🕊️🙏

Dear sir, please explain following lines from the Savitri. “Mortality bears ill the eternal’s touch: 📖🔥♾️🙏 […]

What is the best way to deal with negative thoughts? 💭🌤️🙏
The best way to get rid of darkness is to light up a lamp rather than fighting with the darkness while oneself in the dark.
Can you explain the need for having spiritual company 🤝🕯️🙏

Can I recite the original Gayatri Mantra, which was intended for illuminating the intellect by keeping the Mother and Sri Aurobindo in mind? Please let me know. 🕉️☀️🙏

Hearing sacred stories like those in the Bhagavata Purana or chanting the Divine Name can deeply heal those grappling with addiction, trauma, or mental illness, just as presenting them engagingly—rather than through dry moralism—can nurture a child’s inner world. 📖🌱✨🙏[…]
Communication is always a two way process. In speaking or writing about the Divine it is also a question of receptivity of the hearer and
Does an overwhelming sense of family responsibility stem from attachment, and can it become an obstacle to genuine spiritual progress? I long to step back from these duties—many of which feel unnecessary—to focus on my inner life, but there is no one else willing to take them on. 👨👩👧👦🕊️🙏[…]
Yes, the sense of responsibility is also an attachment, an attachment of the sattwic kind.
As far as a choice is concerned between duty
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? 🧘✨🕊️
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. 📚🧠✨
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? 🌸💞💼🙏 […]
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 Tantra—a dialogue between Shiva and Parvati—wherein Shiva reveals 112 techniques to her. 🔱🔥🕉️ […]
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,
I read your mail on Rasskreeda. I understood Steeling of the Gopis clothes, 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. 🦚✨🙏
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 occurs—especially when someone weaponizes spiritual ideals to deflect accountability—I tend to shut down completely, even avoiding the Mother’s photographs, books, and presence. 🪷🕊️🙏[…]
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. 🌑🕊️🙏[…]
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. 🌧️✨🙏[…]
It is powerful and cathartic. May the rain of Grace be upon you and fill you to the fill one day, drop by drop.
