After watching Death and Beyond TE 668 : What about those disciples who cannot reside there or die there?🧘🌳🪷♾️

Ashram is no more a geographical territory. From 1957, after the Supramental Manifestation, The Mother clearly described how the Ashram has extended to include all

As I am immersing myself on a daily basis into Savitri I was asking myself if I can also listen to it while at the office working or walking down the street? Normally I read it aloud in the evening and listen to it before sleeping. But i was wondering if I can also play in the background while at work in the office – while still being aware that it is most beneficial to listen to it with complete focus and a silent mind?🕊️🤍☀️📜♾️

Yes of course, the more one immerses oneself in the Divine Name, the Divine Vibrations, whether waking, sleeping, walking, exercising, resting, working, driving, the better

Alok Bhai, only you can resolve this confusion in my mind. During a discussion on a serious matter between Mother and Sri Aurobindo, it was decided that if necessary, he would leave his body, and Mother would stay here for the physical transformation, because her body was more capable of performing this task. After his passing, it seemed very difficult for Mother to stay here, and Pranab Da had to constantly look after her.After the discussion between the Lord and Mother, what was it that made it so difficult for her to stay here?☀️🪷👑👑🌌

I didn’t quite understand the difficulty. She is the Divine Mother, the Supreme Creatrix, ‘the Shakti of Sri Aurobindo’ as Sri Aurobindo as he himself

Alok, today the biggest menace is of drugs. Most of the young generation including children of class 7/8 are addicted. Could you please guide on this issue otherwise our country will be in great mess…🚫💉🙅‍♂️💊

I think I will have a talk on this subject, though I faintly remember one that was given in Auroville on this important subject. Meanwhile,

In each one’s life there comes a moment when he has to choose between path and muddle you cannot put one foot here and one there, if you try to you will be torn into pieces..A heart that does not choose is a heart that will die. Sir, Can you please speak more about this?🔀🗺️🧭🛣️

It means that, on the one side, there is the ordinary life with its ordinary aims, a life centered around our petty desires, gains and

In one of the video from online I came to understand the 4 aspects of the mother. Maheswari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. But in another there is a discussion about Ananda aspect of The Mother, which brings splendor of power and love and intensity of Divine joy unknown to the earth so far. Could you please elaborate little more on this aspect. Can we consider it as a fifth aspect of The Mother?🤱🌏🌌♾️

The four aspects of the Divine Mother mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in his wonderful book The Mother refers to the aspects that have so far

I could not understand completely the below portion of “A Dream” by Sri Aurobindo: “… that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit…My questions: 1) “…that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit”. What does this mean?📜✨🌌✍️

It means that observing the rules and rituals of religion, keeping fasts, visiting holy places mechanically does no good. It is merely useless dust. This

Sir is making a strict schedule and walking on the path taught by Maa can be done parallely? Is suppressing emotions or felling or desires is what in this path what should I do? Sir in military we have that much strict schedule one doesn’t even time to thought more about anything so will following schedule like military and walking on the path or Maa is possible 🧘⏰📝🏹

May 19, 2026

What do you mean by strict? Military discipline is enforced from outside. It doesn’t change the basic nature, only puts a near cover over it.

What does this mean? “This is indeed the note of Bengali literature and the one high thing it has gained from a close acquaintance with European models. The hideous grotesques of old Hindu Art, the monkey-rabble of Ram and the ten heads of Ravan, are henceforth impossible to it.”Sri Aurobindo has spoken highly of Valmiki’s aesthetics.. then what does this “hideous-grotesque” refer to here?🏹☀️🌳🐒

May 19, 2026

Here he is mainly referring to Bankim’s imagery in which Sri Aurobindo finds ‘beauty, terseness, strength and sweetness’. The hideousness is not about Valmiki’s Ramayana.
