AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, who are called in the path of integral yoga? If the establishment of life divine is the goal of integral yoga, will eventually every soul on the earth be called for this yoga in their future lifetime, to make possible the evolution of entire humanity?

Yes this Yoga is meant for the earth and the whole of humanity is bound to be impacted by it. But not all are ready right now. Hence a few who are prepared through their past evolution have been called to the Path. To put it more accurately the call is there in everyone but few are ready to hear and heed it. They too will hear and turn towards it one day. But this has to happen organically from within rather than any external efforts to convert. Gradually, as has been foreseen by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo and revealed in Savitri, ‘more and more souls will enter into the Light’,  into the evolutionary belt. There will of course be some pockets of die-hard resistance. These will collapse under the pressure of the growing Light. The process is somewhat similar to every evolutionary transition except that with the coming of man, there enters the element of conscious choice which has to be taken into account in the evolutionary process. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
