There is a talk on this subject https://auromaa.org/mrinalini-devi-hh-172/ . There isn’t much that is known on this aspect, but the little that is known can

I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects. I now feel that I have read enough and it is time for me to start living them. I am doing that, slowly and steadily, notably in work and in parenting. Also, with regards to my health, I am making efforts to regularly exercise, eat a good diet, etc. The Mother herself said this: “It is best to live a Divine teaching”. 😊🙏🏻🌸🌏[…]

I heard in your recent talk that for a long time of 12 years, the Sadhana moves with ups and downs, but after 12 years, the Sadhana becomes smooth and blissful. Kindly add some more words to it, dear Alok da, as it gives me a sense of Reassurance. 😊🙏🏻🪷❤️‍🔥

I could see sand and the desert on one side and a residential area on the other, where I was standing on the terrace of a house, trying to take their photo. Then I went downstairs, sat on a train with my mother and we reached a station. 💭🐫🏜️🏠🚇

Why don’t any high-quality RCTs support the effectiveness of Homeopathic Medicines? 💊⚕️

Regarding the Four Aspects of the Mother, Alok da, I sense a parallel in Sri Aurobindo’s evaluation of various poets in which they excel and in which they lack. Poets like Keats have a lyrical sweetness and beauty but lack vital power and raw force, which a poet like Browning has. 📜✒️😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

This evening, while meditating on The Mother’s organ music on ‘Fairy Dance’, firstly I saw a living mountain having two big eyes and it was seeing all around with those eyes and then a number appeared again and again in that vision, it is the number 349, what does it mean, Sir? 🧘🏼🎶🗻👀3️⃣4️⃣9️⃣

Meditation is to be constantly in the company of the Divine, by thinking about Him, reading about Him, loving Him, serving Him in whatever way

“Discipline is the child of freedom”. Kindly explain it and how both can be synthesised. 🤨🌷🦋🌼

Dada, Sri Aurobindo, or The Mother once stated somewhere that it was their very own consciousness that was present in Michelangelo. Upon hearing this, someone remarked that since Michelangelo was a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci, how could Sri Aurobindo be present in two different individuals simultaneously? 👨🏼‍🎨❤️‍🔥🎨🌸[…]

Recently, in response to a question you have written that the call for yoga is a lifetime opportunity not shown to all. Sir, can you explain this in a little detail? 😊🙏🏻🌷❤️‍🔥

Dear Da, I’m a single child. I always have this question: why don’t I have a sibling with whom I can share things? Also, my parents have a greater realisation of the Divine, so whenever I try something out of spirituality or try to get mixed with society, they get to know things from within and always doubt my intentions and try to keep me under their influence. 😢🌸👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🍃[…]
