AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please share what exactly Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga is? What Books to start reading? ❤️‍🔥😊🙏🏻🪷📚

Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga is a vast and complex synthesis that takes up almost everything into the purview of Yoga. There are the various books of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother dealing with a multitude of subjects touching every sphere of life, showing us how each and every human activity can be lifted up towards Yoga. However, in terms of actual practice, I would recommend mainly the following books that give us the right base about the principles and practice of the Integral Yoga.

Among the Works of Sri Aurobindo, it is best to go through the set of Letters on Yoga CWSA Volumes 28, 29, 30, 31 and the most important volume 32 on The Mother. 

As for the Mother’s Conversations, I would recommend CWM Volumes 3, 8 and 9. 

Savitri and Prayers and Meditations should be a daily reading for meditation.

The most important key, however, is the ability to open to the Mother through faith, aspiration, and a growing sincerity and surrender. Taking the Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s Name is a great help in this process. 

Dedicating inwardly to the Mother all that one does is another very helpful key.

As to Savitri, yes, reading Savitri itself is a yoga and if done with sincerity and regularity, it alone can take us to the doors of realisation due to its powerful mantric nature.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The Sri Aurobindo Sadhanalaya in Ayodhya is no doubt quite a beautiful place full of deep spiritual vibrations. The vigraha of Hanuman ji is jagrat, possibly due to the bhakti of Babaji Maharaj who lived there before coming to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry. It is indeed a beautiful story. Even the other temple on the other …

Based on chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Life Divine, I was wondering how Sri Aurobindo comes to the conclusion that an omnipresent reality exists and that only this reality explains the universe. 🌌🙂🙏🏻🪷[…]

The logic trail is as follows. Human beings, cutting across the differences in time, space and education seek or aspire for some ultimate of  freedom,  knowledge, truth, power, joy. The seeking is universal and hence suggestive of these things (we seek) hidden somewhere. ..
