Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

As you have mentioned in your videos , that the collective works of Sri Aurobindo can be purchased together as a single unit and kept in homes for positivity and it helps us feel Sri Aurobindo’s presence. My father has inquired at the Ashram book store about this and they said it is not available, can you tell me where I can purchase this? I am looking for two units of the same. Please guide me.ย ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“œโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“–

I am glad you are enjoying the talk. It is all Her Grace as you know.

Yes, the Collected Works of Sri Aurobindo are not

Namaste. I want to get clarity about the location of these places referred to in the poem URVASIE. Though I thought that poetic symbolism need not have a geographical accuracy in it, I found some suggestions in the poem which help to locate these cities along the course of the river Ganges.ย 1.Budrichayshwur โ€” is it Badrinath? Ila- is it somewhere along the course of Ganges as a city even in the current times?๐Ÿ“–โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ’ฎ

Sri Aurobindo often points out the directions of north, northwest, south etc along the poem. Though this too can be reconciled as some spiritual imagination

Alok da when Savitri’s yoga was going on and when Savitri was talking to Yamdev, what was Satyavan’s role, what was he doing and how did Satyavan accompany Savitri in that? Was Satyavan and Savitri both doing yoga together? And if Satyavan refuses to return thinking that this is my destiny, if god has thought something for me then I will follow that, if you accept this then Savitri will bring Satyavan back, husband? Satyavan will also be with Savitri in this, right, then what did he do?

Though the story of Savitri and Satyavan is narrated in a human setting, as Sri Aurobindo reveals to us, the characters themselves are not the

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฎ

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also

At present, I feel confused about what path to take and what kind of work would be suitable for me considering my health condition and educational background. It has been my heartfelt aspiration to live in Pondicherry, as I feel deeply connected to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I stayed in Pondicherry for one and a half years earlier and now ๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿค

One doesnโ€™t need to live in Pondicherry or join the Ashram to pursue the goal of Integral Yoga. It is only if one has the

Recently while surfing through my phone I came across the youtube channel of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Delhi and at that time a video surfaced across where they have invited a Sanyasi to talk about something in the Delhi Ashram branch. I felt it bit odd, because what help will a Sanyasi bring in the Yoga centered around Transformation rather than Nirvana? Haven’t people there read Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s opinion on asceticism? ๐Ÿง˜โœจ๐Ÿ”“๐ŸŒ€

Your line of thinking is very correct. But that is how the world is. People are mixed and hence the world goes on in the
