2. In the event of GOLDEN DAY ( 1956) DOES ANY ONE ( SADHAK) got feeling of ascent of the SUPRAMENTAL FORCE in the play ground. If so kindly tell me the story or name the book, as AM the regular follower of your online discussion.

Sri Aurobindo’s own sadhana got completed on 24th November 1926. He achieved his individual Siddhi,  the Divine Perfection that was his mission to establish upon earth. But the collective work of lifting those who came drawn to Him for the new Yoga as well as of establishing the Supramental Consciousness as the new governing principle upon earth remained. Between 1926 to 1950 Sri Aurobindo was concentrated upon both these interconnected tasks. Extending the fruits of his individual yoga to other aspirants was undertaken with the formation of the Ashram and the Mother taking charge of the individual sadhana of the disciples and organising the Ashram life. Sri Aurobindo turned his attention towards the larger cosmic dimension of the work to prepare the world for the Supramental Manifestation. This preparation included the independence of India, the defeat of the Axis powers, push back the forces of Imperialism and Communism, and many such actions of a larger international and cosmic dimension. He was not in the habit of speaking about himself and hence it is through certain casual remarks during conversations and the letters written to disciples during this period (now running into several volumes) that one can get the clear hints of the works he was engaged in. Of course his overarching influence in the Ashram life and its details was always there through the Mother who would refer everything to him. He also wrote several poems, essays of tremendous importance as for example on the supramental manifestation and the transformation of the body, revised some of his works such as The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine, The Human Cycle and of course as the crown of it all wrote, rewrote and perfected his greatest of gifts to mankind, Savitri. This is in brief though each of these works would require an extensive discussion to fill in all the dots. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Hello sir. Since childhood, I have remained deprived of true love and real concern for me, even from my parents and siblings. Now, my married life has turned into a horrible situation. How to overcome such bitter experiences of life and become a true servant of the mother and Sri Aurobindo? 💗🌸🙏🏼

Take all this as a Grace. If you see closely the situations are actually serving the purpose of taking you closer and closer to your true destiny, the Divine. Those who are happy in the world as it is today are like souls in the kindergarten of life busy with toys and the basics. But when one is ready for the higher truth, then either one …

Namaste Sir. In one quote, the Mother has said: “Give up trying, give up the will to progress, give up the aspirations for realisation, give up everything and say to the lord in all sincerity, let thy will be done.” If we give up everything, what will make us to work and search for the divine? 🙏🏼🕊️✨

It is the penultimate stage of sadhana somewhat like Sri Krishna’s final injunction to Arjuna, sarvadharmanparityajya, to give up all Dharmas and take refuge in Him alone. Give up trying is not same as do not try. It means that one has tried, possibly tried hard but nothing much or at least decisive happened. It is then …

​As you mentioned that instead of taking scriptures literally, one should understand their true essence, I have one final question in this regard:​ What is the true spiritual essence or underlying message behind the verse (12.13.13) that speaks of donating the Srimad Bhagavatam on a golden throne on Bhadrapada Purnima? 📖🪷🔍 […]

That is exactly what I am trying to tell you. If we take every verse of the Srimadabhagawatam as if it is originally said and hence to be practiced and followed literally then we fall into the same trap as the Mullahs. Each Scripture has seen additions made by unscrupulous minds for vested personal interests. Srimadabhagawatam is no exception. Do you really believe that after all the beautiful uplifting things spoken of in ..
