Round indicates fullness, wholeness, all-encompassing, all of which apply completely to the Mother. The other reason is that it is the view of a flower

What does Sri Aurobindo mean by life energy. I had understood that soul is life energy and Vital is our desires, Is that right🤔?

December 9, 2024

Soul is the divine essence and not the life energy though it is commonly mistaken for that. But the life energy in an individual is

Can you please explain the Russia and Ukraine war, who is right and who is wrong? Who is fighting for Dharma and who is the Asuric force😐?

December 9, 2024

Wars are far more complex than individuals or small tribal clashes. The issues involved are many and hence it is often difficult to decide where

In your talk I came know that the initial translated book Prayers and Meditation by Sri Aurobindo was a very special as The Mother herself distributed the Self signed copies to some disciples and today I realised the immense value so I request you to guide and write to me🙏.

It is a beautiful Grace. To receive a book signed by Her, especially Her…

Why did divine not directly made supramental why such a long journey😅?

It is almost like expecting a child in the womb fly an aircraft just because the parents are pilots and want the child to become

Alok da, I’ve once heard you say in one of the talks that a disciple who was away for sometime to study or something was surprised to see Sri Aurobindo’s hair and skin texture changing when he came back. I mean obviously not anywhere near to Sri Aurobindo’s tapas but are any little alchemical changes possible in our body when we offer all the daily acts at a minute level cos this does require us to be mindful of all the psychological states and physical inclinations and the identification and carrying with them in a state of exclusive concentration lessens and what people usually observe about stress reflecting in someone’s face and texture might not if this is the case. I don’t wanna reduce yogic practices to the desire of gaining some mere physical beauty or anything but that comment of yours was in mind for a long time and made me thinking about physical impacts of spiritual practices🤨.

Yes it was Shri AB Purani ji who noted the marked change in Sri Aurobindo. In those who sincerely take to the Yoga some changes

My husband had a habit of trading in the stock market, which caused us to lose a lot of money earlier. We worked hard to pay off the debts, but I feel he has started trading again. He also pretends to go to the office, but HR confirmed he hasn’t been coming. Whenever I try to talk to him, we end up fighting, and he doesn’t give me clear answers😪.

It is an addiction, an obsession so to say and hence very difficult to get rid of unless there is a sincere will to get

Shakti – the divine mother is said to be omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent so why do we need to pray and worship her for invoking her grace? What stops her from showering her grace spontaneously on each one in need🙄?

December 8, 2024

It does act spontaneously if you look at the vast array of creatures. The animal doesn’t need to pray to get helped. Mechanisms are created

Alok Da, what is the evidence that there is rebirth and how do you know in each life you progress? They say you have to discover your soul but how do you do that and how does discovering your soul lead you to understanding if you had a different life? Also you do lose your body and all your relations, how do you know that you are going to have a next life and if you will then it won’t be a bad one. Why must one leave this world? Why so imperfect body? If the Divine grace makes everything possible then is there just tiniest chance that in this life itself one can transform into a superhuman and why shouldn’t one be afraid of death and disease🙄?

Wonderful question. The whole universe is governed by two laws and processes of Time that complement each other. First is a constant forward movement of

Bhaiya can you explain something about Rigveda 🧾 like who has written it and what is it language?

December 7, 2024

Veda comes from the root Vid which means ‘knowledge’. Here it meant the highest knowledge or the secret knowledge that cannot be attained simply through

Sometimes while reading the teachings of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, it feels like what they are saying is harsh and challenging at times. It makes me wonder how we, as humans, will be able to follow and achieve it. It seems very difficult😧.

December 7, 2024

The yoga is difficult only in terms of its aim. But in terms of the method it is the easiest of all since it depends

What is the idea of God😇?

December 7, 2024

People have different ideas of the God. Some envision it as something pure, beautiful, true, absolute, or supreme. Others see God as a being or

How can I organize my thoughts better? I tend to overthink a lot about life, money and work? For example, if I need to give a presentation that can be prepared in 2 hours, I end up worrying about it for 2 days😓.

Learn to quieten the mind through the practice of witnessing and work, not for specific results, but for the joy of it, as a means

If gods lack a psychic being then from where have they acquired qualities that humans do not possess? The Mother mentions that they are eager to take a human body to experience the psychic presence. Why they are called “Gods”😇?

December 6, 2024

What qualities? They have powers and knowledge but if we hear the stories most of the gods do not have some of those qualities that

Alok Da, If I pray and worship the supreme Mother 🌹 through any of her mantras like Gayatri, Navarna and Bija mantras, will she shower on me and family inspiration, knowledge, prosperity and strength to face any situation? If yes, please guide me how to go about it. I want my family to live a beautiful and fulfilling life which I believe is not possible only through human efforts and endeavours.

December 6, 2024

Mantras and other techniques and processes are secondary. The real thing that matters is faith, aspiration and genuine trust in the Divine Mother that She
