One of my grandmothers is growing old and frail she is almost bed ridden cannot get out of her room and is 92 years, I pray that she may be freed from this body that has become a burden and reason for pain, is this a selfish prayer? Can one pray for a loved ones death😪? What is the best approach in times like these ?

Many prayers are for selfish reasons so that itself does not make a prayer meaningless. But this prayer for someone’s departure at the person’s presumed

I was just reading Karl marx’s Short essay on the power of money, he wonders about this bewildering engimatic force which shapes our life and history and he quotes many of Sri Aurobindo’s favourite poets like Shakespeare and Goethe on how this mysterious force turns things upside down, Sri Aurobindo in Savitri covers everything about the cosmos even if it’s just a few lines but there’s isn’t anything about money if I am not wrong. Why is this so? Why is such a gigantic subject ignored🤔?

March 19, 2025

First of all there are a few presumptions there. Though Sri Aurobindo has appreciated Shakespeare and Goethe his appreciation of them is part of a

I had a question on a particular phrase in Savitri. “The universe is an endless masquerade: For nothing here is utterly what it seems; It is a dream-fact vision of a truth Which but for the dream would not be wholly true, A phenomenon stands out significant Against dim backgrounds of eternity; “What exactly is a “dream-fact vision of a truth”? Either we have dreams, or we have facts, two different order of realities🤔.

March 19, 2025

To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the

Goddess Gayatri is my Ishta Devata. I chant Gayatri mantra regularly for a bright future for my family. Till now I believed that Mother Gayatri bestows wisdom, prosperity and strength on her sadhaka so that he can live a happy meaningful life. I used to meditate🧘‍♂️ like this during Gayatri Japa which was as advised by my parents & guru. …

You can deal with this dilemma in two different ways. First is that though each god or goddess has a certain limited function, the overriding

“Follow your passion” some people say. I am stuck a little. I have a broad direction in which I want my life to develop — in service of the nation. At the same time, the scope of different careers is so wide that I don’t know what is best for me! A part of me wants to study something very practical which will enable me to realise this vision even if I don’t like the subject in and of itself (for example, studying finance). Another part of me wants me to do something that I would intrinsically enjoy studying (for example, music or history). However, I doubt whether choosing this path will enable me to develop the skills or knowledge that will be of much use when it comes to making impactful change in society. Can you suggest how I can develop clarity on this? I definitely agree with people who say that you can only succeed in and be happy doing something that you feel passionate about. But isn’t this idea slightly overrated? Shouldn’t one be able to enjoy and succeed in whatever one does, no matter what it is? Even if it’s not something one enjoyed doing as a child or doesn’t have a natural predisposition towards😠?

We should first differentiate between what we are naturally drawn towards by our innate temperament and predilection. It is more of an inborn inclination whose

Few days back there was an incident in Baroda when a youth has consumed substances and crashed his car, when he came out of the car he did not even realise what had happened, videos have come of completely intoxicated and shouting, in all this a young person died, now i am asking from other side, i have read somewhere, Ma says that there are no accidents so then what about the person who died with no fault of his? how can one console his family😰?

March 18, 2025

The Mother says that the cause of accidents is unconsciousness. We call it accident and mean by the word that it is something that is

Da as we know this is the very critical and crucial time for all human beings on earth. The pandemic has already grasped all over the World. We can consider it as the instructions of the Divine action to separate the falsehood from truth. This alarming situation on the earth instructs everyone to cling to the truth. It is the action of supramental force. But Dada is it the only way to give a lesson to the world. The Mother once eradicated the Devil behind Spanish flu. But again this corona pandemic arrived. As we know from Ramayana and Mahabharata and many other stories the victory of the good will happens always and the Asuras are killed. But still then they are alive. The bad will has been now multiplied. What is the permanent solution of this crisis? What should we do now😪? Please da kindly reply it .

March 18, 2025

The Asuras cannot be killed for good since they hide themselves in the human heart and we help them do so. Therefore if the Divine

While I was watching your talk on the Worship of Beauty, a question came to my mind. Why is it that our bodies are unable to reflect our inner reality? There are people who are not physically very beautiful but are very beautiful on the inside. Likewise, there are attractive people who are mean and cruel. This is probably the Divine’s Play but again, it does not answer anything. So why is beauty here so out of place? In the future will the outer reality reflect the inner reality of a person🤔? 

March 17, 2025

Very pertinent observation. The reason of course is a lack of translation or correspondence between inner Reality and outer truth in general. The material world

My partner is not willing to accept my connection with the Ashram, the Mother, and Sri Aurobindo. He is opposed to the idea and keeps telling me not to follow such things. He questions how I came across all this, suggesting it happened only because I was alone. He believes that if I had the right people around me, I wouldn’t feel the need for such a path. According to him, I’m drawn to it only because I’m depressed and not surrounded by the right kind of people. I told him that I genuinely like going there, but he still doesn’t understand or accept it😠.

March 15, 2025

Obviously he is limited by his own conceptions and, like most people, shut in the bubble of his own understanding. May be you should not

I would really appreciate your guidance on the following issue which is greatly bothering me 😭and I feel it’s not good for my spiritual progress. This is about my relationship with my son, which is getting lost and becoming irrecoverable since the last 2 yrs. Short story, we were a dysfunctional family, and I carry guilt about many things I failed to do for him in his childhood as his Mother due to my being lost in my issues. In spite of all spiritual knowledge,

Guilt has no place in spiritual life. What is done is done. One cannot go back and change things. But we can surely learn our
