I am writing a 1000-word essay, and the topic that has come to mind is ‘Ekam Sad Viprā Bahudhā Vadanti’. Will you suggest some sources, writings, etc. This is my first attempt at writing something. 📝😊🙏🏻🌼
I can’t say because I never believed in academic approach. I wrote extensively but never consulted books. Wrote through inspiration and reflection. This original thinking
Sir Pranam. Now since some days I am going through Sri Aurobindo’s Record of Yoga, Part 1. I am just reading it with only a little understanding. But I am coming accross a word “KAMANANDA” frequently in the book. A simple example: “Recurrence of intense kamananda throughout the day”, Page 671. Please enlighten me about the use of this word in such a manner. 😐🙏🏻🪷🦋[…]
Records of Yoga were actually never meant to be read by anyone. They are Sri Aurobindo’s personal notes and neither the Mother nor Sri Aurobindo
How to become Street Smart? 👥😎🦋🌻
Why should one want to become street smart? Perhaps there is some feeling of inferiority which comes from comparison with others. The best way to
My Guru’s wife (Guruma) is still in this world. In the practice of Siddha Yoga worship, Gurudev has always been foremost, and during his lifetime, he never openly spoke about Guruma. I don’t know why, but I’ve always felt a deep love for Radha Ma, and I would get emotional and cry. I kept having visions of Guruma as well. 😊🙏🏻🌸[…]
The true basis of relationship between the Guru and the disciplle is the seeking for Truth or Wisdom and Light. This seeking formulates itself in
Listening to your talks, I wonder if humanity’s current psychological turmoil stems from the pressure of the Supramental descent forcing hostile vital forces to cling more desperately to earth—much like Arjuna’s Visada Yoga at the start of his transformation. 🤔🌍🫨🌾[…]
If one were to summarise it in one sentence then one can say, in the deepest mystic sense, that the world has forgotten the Divine
Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful. Will the mantra respect that person’s free will and grant them such wisdom and happiness within the material world? 📜😊🙏🏻🌼🌍[…]
It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There
Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻👩🏻👧🏻👦🏻🛕🌸
As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things
I just saw that Hitler arrested some people and did something very wrong with him. I went there to rescue them, and Hitler’s people arrested me and my people too. I was assured from within in the dream that I’ll be freed from here. 💭😥💔🥀
It means you should be careful about people, even with good intention such as helping them. There are influences people cast using truth to vindicate
I slept listening to the “Divine sacrifice” About Sri Aurobindo’s physical withdrawal. With full devotion in my heart. The dream I saw was completely opposite. I was full of fear, and it was not a mere dream; I could feel the whole thing. The fear was very concrete and I was calling ‘Maa Bhagvati’, ‘Maa Bhagvati’ to tackle the situation. It was very real. 💭😐🙏🏻❤️🔥🦋
Yes sometimes when a part of our being opens fully, another part, that is like a shadow dormant in the subconscient rises to resist vehemently,
If that is the case, what is Mukthi? When they say that great saints like Sankara Charity and Sree Ragavendran attained Mukthi. Is it a wrong interpretation? Please explain. I am still confused about sins. 🙄🙏🏻🌼🍂[…]
Doing good is one thing, Mukti is another. Doing good or more specifically engaging in Sattwik acts helps prepare us for Mukti unless we get
I’m physically very unfit. I am 20. My weight is under 50. I’m not strong. While doing Sadhana (if I can use this word), when it’s going smoothly, spontaneous remembrance Offering, Knowledge, everything is perfect. 🥗🦋🌼[…]
Sadhana is not done by personal effort alone. Always there is the Grace behind and the whole trick is to rely more and more upon
How to face the extreme guilt of our past actions, which burns our souls like anything? 😔🙏🏻🥀🍂
Guilt belongs to the world of the ego and not to the soul. The soul is untouched by guilt. It takes all experiences, pleasant and
I have a question: is it bad if one of my goals is to earn money? I want to do so because I don’t have to rely on anybody else, and I can do things I would want to do and do my Bhakti and Yoga, and no one could stop me just because I don’t have enough money to take care of myself and my family. I would not want a lot of money, just enough to live comfortably and also help others with that. 💰😊🙏🏻🌼
There is nothing wrong in earning money. On the contrary it is much better to earn money through one’s own efforts than rely on someone
I was in the middle of a dream where I heard a voice saying, “Wrap the blanket properly up to the soles of your feet.” Hearing that voice, I suddenly woke up. Right in front of my bed, a photo of Mata ji was placed. As soon as I woke up, I felt as if a crying sound was coming from the photo and the entire photo was shaking. Why did this happen? 🖼️😶🌫️🌸🦋[…]
These images generally arise from the subconscient. There might be some forces at play trying to create mischief. It is difficult to say where these
First I had a type of belief system like nothing wrong can happen to me because Maa is with me, now it’s like anything can happen to me, but I believe Maa is with me and about fear I have fear like fear for maintaining position in class, fear like what others will think about me in each steps, fear like fear to indulge in a conflict or the recent issues, fear like what if I died living an ordinary life. ☺️🌼🚶🏼♂️🦋[…]
I don’t know why you switched from nothing can happen to everything can happen. Surely the Divine Grace protects else this world would have been
What is the significance of Mahakali, Mahasaraswati, Maheswari, and Mahalaksmi, who are called different aspects of the Divine Mother, in simple words? 😊🙏🏻🌼❤️🔥🪷
Sri Aurobindo has described them in great detail about the working of these four great goddesses or feminine powers of the Divine Mother. In simple
It’s been five years since our marriage, and I’m beginning to realise that there is a strong need in me to follow my own truth and become more of an individual in my own right. I feel that, in many ways, Indian society doesn’t really encourage women to live as individuals. ❤️🔥👩🏼🌱[…]
First things first. The first necessity of any and every human being is to arrive at his maximum possibility, to realise his or her highest
Thank you, Alok da, for answering my question from yesterday on a passage of the Synthesis of Yoga. However, I would like to clarify one specific point based on the understanding I shared earlier. Let me take a hypothetical example. Suppose, for a particular individual, the Divine Intention/Will is that he should go through a life of considerable struggle. ❤️🔥😊🙏🏻🌼[…]
I understand the difficulty. The Vedas speak of basically two operating systems to which we are subject. The first is when we are being schooled
