I am facing intense turmoil in my marriage due to my spouse’s chronic anger, alcohol struggles, and verbal and physical abuse, which have severely strained our home and my inner peace. Despite my sincere efforts to hold the family together for our children, the hostility and control have only escalated, leaving me anxious and exhausted. 🙏🏻🌷 […]

My Mother has had a very tough life after marriage and she was tortured physically and mentally by her husband. She does not believe in Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Lately, she has made herself bedridden and refuses to go anywhere. She has also developed symptoms of fits, etc., like neck jerking. What should I do to make her come to her senses? 🤕🙏🏻

Play some soft soothing music around her. If she believes in any traditional or other aspect of the Divine it will be helpful to recite
