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. 😢🌸👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🍃[…]

I want to know if The Mother refers to Sri Aurobindo as ‘Lord’? And so, when They say, the aim of life is to know the Divine and unite with It, do they mean to know the Lord and unite with Him? So, do we look to know Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the Divine, and unite with Them by offering ourselves to Them integrally?

Alokda, you might have explained this in your “The Bhagavat Purana” class, but how do you explain the Victory of rakshasas over deva? Stories of imprisonment of devas… 😇⚔️👺🌷[…]

Yes. The Puranas do speak about the Devas losing at times to the Titans when they grow proud and haughty and think it is they

Sir, today, while meditating on the Mother’s music of compassion, I saw a vision in which a deer was present everywhere and gazed at me as if it wanted to tell me something. But I can’t understand what it means. 🦌🧘🏼🌄🌻[…]

Can one start with Bhagavan Ramana’s self-enquiry method and try following Sri Ramana for Atma Sakshaykaram? Because I feel Bhagavan Ramana’s approach is the direct, shortest, quickest, instant push towards The Self if practised under His enquiry method. 😊🙏🏻🌻🌄[…]
