Dear Alok da, I would like to know more about Dutta who was Mother’s companion from Britain. Are there any books that write about her? Or can you tell me something about her? What did she represent?
Dutta also known as Ms Hodgson was The Mother’s friend since adolescence. She traveled with the Mother wherever She went and stayed in Pondicherry until
Today, my parents were listening to a very popular Shiva Mahapuran Kathavachak. During the Katha, he mentioned that Lord Shiva is superior to Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. The reason he gave was related to the position of their respective Shaktis.
This is even factually incorrect. Saraswati has been revered and worshipped since the Vedic Age. At that point she is not regarded as a consort
Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? 🌌⚔️✨🙏[…]
The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings.
After terrible situations and traumas continuously, I have now turned completely against the divine and everything that stands for him. I hate everything about him, He is non-existent to me. He is nothing but an absentee landlord. 🌑🕯️🙏[…]
I can understand your anger towards the Divine because you have faced certain difficulties and challenging situations and circumstances. I am not sure if the
I am 41, unmarried, and dealing with schizophrenia, but I struggle deeply with an ongoing habit of watching lesbian pornography for brief moments once or twice a week. Fully aware that this lower impulse contradicts the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I fear falling into an asuric nature like Virochana or Shankhachuda. 🕊️💪🌸🙏[…]
I understand your difficulty which grips many persons. It takes time but with a persistent will and faith, especially opening yourself to the Mother’s Grace
Did Sri Aurobindo fully agree with the idea of Shrishti, of the Universe, also the idea of the Nature of Prakruti and Jiva as ignorant Matter, and Purusha, as given in the Svetasvatasopanishad? 🕉️📚✨🙏
Sri Aurobindo’s idea of creation is closest to the Vedas, specifically the Rig Veda. It is quite similar to the Bhagawat Purana and the Gita
I am having a question about the spiritual significance of Sadesathi, the seven-and-a-half-year period which is particularly challenging for a person. How will it affect someone engaged in the Integral Yoga? As in this Yoga, the Mother is the supreme power greater than the planets and she can completely change the course of destiny. Will she use this period like, “Hell a shortcut for Heaven’s gate.” 🪐🌸🙏
The sadhesaati (the 7 year 6 month period of Shani or Saturn) is not necessarily an evil thing. It is a period of trial, –
I had a vivid dream where a violent attack forced me out of a vehicle, prompting me to guide a vulnerable boy across undulating plains toward a winding hilltop. As I ascended past oblivious dogs, the boy vanished, replaced by the inner vision of a divine, familiar young girl calling me to pass an unseen test at the peak. 🌙⛰️✨🙏[…]
It is indeed a very positive dream. The mad driver is some past tendency that was trying to drive you towards the abyss. But you
Over the years, my natural inclination to socialize has sharply declined, shifting entirely toward inner quiet, reading Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and listening to your talks. 🌿🕊️📖🙏[…]
This is indeed a very good sign, one of the clear indications of being on the spiritual path. It is neither ascetic tendency, nor tamas,
Having read high praise of Kautilya’s Arthashastra and the Mauryan rajyavyavastha in my Guru’s writings—where he even equated the inner spirit of the Gita with the Arthashastra—I wondered if Sri Aurobindo ever commented on this text.📜🏛️📚🙏[…]
Sri Aurobindo did comment on Kautilya (aka Chanakya) in his writings on the Mahabharata as well as the Foundations of Indian Culture. The essence of
I wanted to know if, whatever happens, does it happens for good, or if it is our laws of karma coming to us? ⚖️🔄✨🙏 […]
You will find a number of talks on the subject on auromaa.org
Very simply karma means to do. In this sense the entire creation is
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? 🧠✨🕊️🙏
One must always remember, in fact start with this state of humility that the mind does not understand spiritual things. If it is there and,
Dear sir, please explain following lines from the Savitri. “Mortality bears ill the eternal’s touch: 📖🔥♾️🙏 […]
Mortality means here beings that are limited and hence subject to mortality. It is here a direct reference to man who lives shackled and bound
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 🤝🕯️🙏
The true effect of spiritual company. Spiritual company no doubt strengthens the aspiration and faith, especially when the flame is growing as for example living
