When I look at Sri Aurobindo, my mind gets concentrated on his left eye and then that eye of his seems as if it is looking at me like Mahakaal (the destroyer) and I like his looking at me like that and sometimes it happens that during the day while serving, that eye suddenly starts appearing on my third eye and when I bow to him, then that eye starts appearing, that means it happens many times during the day that his eye appears on my third eye. Is this because of looking at his picture too much or is it a true experience?👁️‍🗨️🔱🕉️🔥

Experiences, however subjective they may be always carry a truth within them. It is just that the interference of the ego and desires builds a

I  have reached the 12th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Aurobindo. I have one topic which I have not fully understood, this is making my further reading a bit slower. The roles/difference between Purusha and Prakriti . So what I have understood is Purusha is the male energy , Vishnu and Shiva (parabrahman) and Prakriti is the Female energy, shakti, force of creation and nature So how are nature and feminine energy related to each other? I understand it is force of creation because it is the feminine energy which can create a new offspring, is this the right interpretation (I don’t get it because even males play a role in creation)?🪈🐎☸️📜

Purusha and Prakriti are two aspects of one Consciousness. Purusha is the static witness mode whereas Prakriti is the dynamic active mode. This is the

After that revelation whatever fadings of the light, whatever periods of darkness may afflict the soul, it can never irretrievably lose what it has once held. The experience is inevitably renewed and must become more frequent till it is constant; when and how soon depends on the devotion and persistence with which we insist on the path and besiege by our will or our love the hidden Deity. Dada please explain the paragraph clearly and if one has realised then how he lose the contact. Is it only happen in Integral Yoga or even traditional yoga also?🌱🦋☀️💠🪷

In all Yogas, the first step is to break open the circle of Ignorance in which our self is trapped. It is like a bird

I seek to live, along with my family, a life that expresses the highest potential inherent in human existence — a life that mirrors, in its own measure, the glory of the Supreme Mother, the source of all Shakti and creation.However, despite this faith and continued practice, I experience a gap between knowledge, devotion, and visible transformation. I am seeking insight into how I could bridge this gap?↔️🌉🚧

The great gods and goddesses have to be approached with great humility and surrender. They see the truth behind the rituals and act on the

Lately, I have been going to the gym to do some light exercise and to strengthen my body a bit. However, I have noticed something distinct: alongside my current physical body—which is rather slender—I perceive the presence of another body. This other body feels massive and incredibly powerful—robust and muscular, yet remarkably light. And is it something I should continue to visualize or imagine in this manner?⚡🔋🔥

What you describe is a contact with the vital body. It is often felt like that. If it comes to awareness naturally it is fine.

I had a question about wish fulfilling temples in India. There are many temples in India famous for their capacity to fulfill wishes of their so called devotees for example Tirupati Balaji, Sai Baba of Shirdi, Lalbag Ganesh from Mumbai. Many rich and poor people visit these places and receive whatever they desire. But are these places even Divine in nature? 🛕⛩️🌠🍀

No God or gods can grant all wishes to each and everyone almost to the demand. Not only will this disturb the cosmic balance but
