AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, you practice Integral Yoga. What is Integral Yoga? Where to learn about it and how to practice as a complete beginner? In the Ashram, deities are not being worshipped like Bhagwan Shiv, Maa Durga and Rituals are not performed. So what are your opinions on Rituals and Festivals like Mahashivratri or Navratri? 🏡🪷🌳🙏🌸[…]

And the worship of the Das Mahavidyas? What are Mother Mirra’s Teachings on liberation and ending the Cycle of Birth and Death? And how to reach the Divine? Please guide me. I am new to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and don’t know about these.

The Integral Yoga is a way to complete God realisation, not in one or other but in all aspects. Its eventual goal is a complete transformation of nature. 

There are some who practice the Integral Yoga in the Ashram and many more who practice it outside Pondicherry. 

Its main processes are sincere aspiration for the Divine and the Divine Life, rejection of all that stands in the way of giving oneself to the Divine and His Service, surrender to the Divine Mother. 

Liberation is not the goal of the yoga, but it does come in during the course of the yoga.

There are no rituals here. It is mainly an inner psychological process. No traditional fast etc., are prescribed. Karma and rebirth are a means for the inner evolution rather than reward and punishment. 

Read the Mother’s writings and take Her Name inwardly. For more details, you can listen to my talks on auromaa.org (YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AuroMaa)

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Tapas leads to an increase of energy. Faith in the Divine increases its potency whereas doubt and a sceptic  questioning does decrease it. But there can be a questioning that seeks to understand and know better. Such a questioning may well consolidate the tapas more by giving it clarity of the mind.

How to increase faith towards The Mother and Sri Aurobindo and how to quieten the mind and vital? 🕊️🌼🙏🏼

October 21, 2026

To quieten the mind and vital one should learn to live within rather than projected on the surfaces of life, reacting and responding to every stimulus. We should try to practice equanimity in the face of the touches of nature such as heat or cold, remarks of people such as praise or insult, gains and losses, success and failures, pleasure and pain. This is the foundation.
