Sri Aurobindo and the Mother never promised physical transformation of their body or any body in their lifetime. They always said that the physical transformation

Alok da, I’m coming to realise how much of the entire political establishment, military, bureaucracy each and everyone’s sons/daughters/nephew/niece is in US. Recently Former US ambassador to India said “I met a Governer of a State (in India)… she said her most important investment is in the US.. her children.

But why should we be worried about what the ruling class does or does not do? Besides, the depressed classes do the same thing when

What is a black hole in space? Why does it exist? And does it have a spiritual significance🧐?

February 14, 2025

Black hole is simply called so because it traps Light that enters it. Once it enters, even Light cannot escape out. This is because of…

My partner enjoys eating non-veg, drinking, and partying, whereas I am the complete opposite—I prefer a quiet lifestyle, vegetarian food, and don’t like partying. We even tried to make the relationship work by agreeing that he could go to parties if he wanted, but he shouldn’t expect me to join. Despite our efforts to do our own things and tried to live in harmony, we still end up fighting so much. I’m not sure what to do🤨?

February 14, 2025

This is unlikely to work. The divergence and dissonance is too fundamental to be overlooked for life. Each doing their own thing is not harmony

Why do some people turn to self-harm or experience suicidal thoughts when they face disappointment or unfulfilled desires in life or relationships😥? What leads to such extreme emotional responses, and how can these feelings be understood and addressed?

Can you please advise what is the right space between a couple, I don’t see balance around either they are stuck to each other like a Fevicol (your words 🙂) or they are not bothered what the other person is doing saying we give each other space so what should be the ideal?

Sir, please explain Shiva & Shakti tatva in detail whenever you get time. Is shakti the same as Parvati🤔?

February 13, 2025

Traditionally Ma Parvati is regarded as Shakti because Shiva represents the Force aspect of the One Satchidananda, just as Brahma represents the Sat aspect and

I have another question which is about the Divine will. How do we understand what is the Divine will and whether whatever I am doing is in confirmation with the Divine will🤨? Is inner peace the only indication that my being and whatever I do is confirming with the Divine will?

February 13, 2025

Normally when we speak of the Divine Will we feel it is about the outer choices and the resulting events and circumstances. Especially we make

Why did Sri Krishna make Devaki Ma and Vasudev and Ma Yashoda forget that he was the Avatar🤔?

February 13, 2025

Because if they remembered and revealed it to others, it would have jeopardised Sri Krishna’s work, which among other things was to set an example

I know that I’m not a sattwic soul; my nature seems more tamsik. I experience jealousy, I desire to be the best, and I suspect that I have some ego. When I do Puja, it sometimes feels mechanical. How can I overcome these qualities🫤?

February 13, 2025

Nobody is an ideal sattwic person to begin with. Most human beings are subject to the same human difficulties as you mention. But with a

Sometimes, scrolling through social media and seeing other people’s photos creates the illusion that their lives are perfect—free from struggles or worries. It seems as if they have effortlessly found true love, married their soulmate, and stepped into their “happily ever after,” as though everything has fallen into place flawlessly. But your own life😥,[Conti]…

Have you not heard the story about the advertisement of hell. It is overactive and its sole purpose is to turn humanity away or since

Looking at the current situation in India I believe democracy is not working, its more of a hindrance, in one of you talks you talked about Sanathan Dharma, you talked a new type of politics, can you please elaborate on this? What can be a new way of politics for India🤔?

February 12, 2025

Democracy is the child of Reason and hence was meant only as a stop gap system. Its strength lies in uplifting the average man to

I have observed more and more children in USA and other countries are Autism and have Down syndrome, in fact a friend told me one in every 40 child in USA is autistic, why is this happening? Is it the pressure of the consciousness? Is it Divine way of balancing the universe as Autistic people are simple as they are not cunning or mean or ambitious like they don’t have the mental traits like a mental human have, please shares your view on this🫤.

February 12, 2025

It is difficult to say with certainty but a number of factors could be operating.

Vaccination drives since few decades could be responsible for

Sri Aurobindo talks about drawing Divine power to earth to transform human consciousness. But I have read in Mother’s books and also listened in your Youtube video….don’t try to pull the higher or divine to you. Give yourself to the divine more and more. How to understand this🤔?

February 12, 2025

Sri Aurobindo was speaking of himself drawing the Supramental Power for earth and mankind when he was asked by the disciples as to what he

Energy Vampires 🦇— if after talking to a person you feel completely drained on a regular basis, does this indicate they’re an energy vampire? How to protect ourselves against such people, and how to spot them? The other observation I had is that when I am feeling strong in my vital, I can push back, while when I am feeling vitally low and dull, I become the victim of such people. Hence, the second part of the question is how to develop this vital strength to resist negative influences?

February 11, 2025

Yes there are sex vampires who draw away energy from others, especially by attracting the victims towards themselves. But this is fortunately not common. There
