I wonder: How is the soul after death? Can the soul move? in every realms of the worlds beyond and the world here or is it – without any free will – torn and moved around by fear, karma etc. as it states the Tibetan Book of the Death. e.g.? So if I die now here in Europe would it for example be possible for my soul to travel, to fly to the samadhi in Puducherry?🧘✨🪷🗝️❤️

Whether here upon earth or in the realms beyond the soul remains bound to the sheaths or shroud of Ignorance in which it is wrapped.

Perhaps I made a mistake in asking the question, all the efforts are for The Mother and she is the one who is making it happen and imagining life without mother feels like death, all the struggle inside and outside is for whom else, just so that Mother’s wish can be fulfilled. There is no desire to become a yogi, no one to know the future, just whatever is inside should be for Mother, this is my prayer every moment, what I meant to ask was that when both the struggles and victories of life are shown, then isn’t it a good way to smile inside by remembering the scenes of victory that happen during those struggles?📿🧘‍♂️🤍🌸

A few days earlier, I was in a state of consciousness where I used to feel something inside. I was feeling something different, which was around Krishna Janmasthmi and Sri Aurobindo’s Birthday.

Sir, after meeting different people, how to be in that Consciousness, as it’s very difficult?🌅✨☀️🕉️🕊️

It was, in all likelihood, the doors of the psychic being that opened sensing the special atmosphere.

Yes it is difficult initially to keep

Sir, in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, you practice Integral Yoga. What is Integral Yoga? Where to learn about it and how to practice as a complete beginner? In the Ashram, deities are not being worshipped like Bhagwan Shiv, Maa Durga and Rituals are not performed. So what are your opinions on Rituals and Festivals like Mahashivratri or Navratri? 🏡🪷🌳🙏🌸[…]

The Integral Yoga is a way to complete God realisation, not in one or other but all aspects. Its eventual goal is a complete transformation

In response to a question Mother said, “Yoga has to be done for the sake of divinity. We must seek manifestation of divine and establishment of his reign upon earth, not the welfare of humanity.” Sir, If the establishment of life divine is the end goal of integral yoga doesn’t it automatically incorporate welfare humanity itself?🧘‍♂️🪷✨☀️

Yes, obviously it does and in the highest possible way. What She is pointing out is the tendency to put the human before the Divine.
