Who made germs ?

Nature has made numerous countless things including germs that can harm or even help. In fact you can look upon this world as a big

I did not say that the soul has created ignorance. My submission was – The world is created only when the soul chooses to cover itself with ignorance. If she does this then can’t we assume that she wants to enjoy the world, its joy & pain, strength & weakness, evil & goodness? The soul being omnipotent, cannot be forced to cover itself with ignorance and falsehood unless it wishes to do so. Thus what should be her purpose other than this?

The ignorance is a creation of the Divine Maya, which operates in two ways, vidyamayi or a force of knowledge and oneness, and avidyamayi, a

History tells us that we have been great civilised and strong nation then how could we be slaved for 1200 years?

November 12, 2024

We fell for two reasons. The immediate cause is an excessive tilt towards Mayavada (Illusionism) under the influence of Buddha and Shankara. I am not

I have been working hard to get Kamla Harris get elected. As you know Donald Trump won and has won convincingly. I am sure Republicans think differently, but us Democrats we think that Trump is not good for US or the world. His ambitions are to become a dictator. I, we worry that if Trump, Un, Xi, Putin, Netanyahu and Mush get together it will be a disaster😱. Actually I had had a vision last year about this and that is why I got politically involved. You had given me an example of Ramayan and Mahabharat recently, on the day of elections as results started coming in I was first numb, as Americans have elected him unanimously! That night as I was meditating, I realized the example of Ramayan and Mahabharat, that it had to get so bad and ugly before the Divine intervention. But does that mean we have to wait till that times comes, or is there anything we can do so it won’t happen? I had full faith in Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, but as results started coming in I was questioning my faith.

Besides how do we know what is good and from what and whose view point? Republicans in general and President Trump in particular have been

These days, due to negative news, parents are often afraid to send their daughters far from home, and even if they do, they remain constantly worried. Is their fear justified😠?

November 10, 2024

This fear or rather apprehension is not only natural and normal but actually a protective reflex in parents, mostly in mothers as a maternal instinct.

Alok da, can you please put some light on the American 🇺🇸 elections, who is better for them and India and what is their future like after these elections?

November 7, 2024

If the people have elected him despite all the maligning campaign, they surely see some kind of a hope in him, the hope that because

In one of your talks you mentioned that feminism is not aping men, so can you share What is true feminism 👩 as I feel women have a wrong concept of it as they seem to be in competition with men and I feel this is causing problems with the balance of the world?

November 2, 2024

Men and women represent two aspects of One Reality, passive and dynamic, ideative and pragmatic. They are equal in their differences and different in their

I have a difficulty in understanding the modifications of Panchmahabhoots. I could understand vibration in Akashtattva led to Agnitattva. The next modification from Agnitattva – containing only heat to element containing totally opposite in quality i.e. Jalatattva is difficult to understand. In between are there any stages of converting/producing totally different element with an intention to produce a rigid tattva i.e. Prithvi tattva 🌍?

November 2, 2024

Akash tattva is an endless expansion created by the waves or vibrations emanating from Nada. But this endless expansion can create Space but not forms

What do you feel about Religious extremist movements with insults on the Indian flag and other anti national behaviour 😠 , what can we do as these are insults to our Mother India?

October 26, 2024

Your reaction at the insult of Mother India is understandable and many of us share it. But we should be clear that these so-called khalistanis

Since some time, I see that philanthropy has become like a fashion in the society I live in, I find it absurd and feel its just showing off as in look how good I am doing or what a good person I am as if they are not sure and they need people to tell them so. I find it absurd how people call themselves a philanthropist. Can you please explain about this idea😏

October 25, 2024

All these are three inferior kinds of philanthropy. The third may prepare us for spiritual life but generally they keep us tied to the circle

Correct me if I am wrong, I believe there is no concept of Dharma in the west so there is no concept of Adharma thus everyone has become selfish and they want to do what they feel like basically follow their impulses, so how can we save India from this false sense of Freedom, how to teach children and how to help the west out with our Indian ideals🇮🇳?

October 24, 2024

Yes the idea of freedom means different things to the East and the West. In the Western context there is the liberal idea of doing

Why we need to know about Rama or Krishna and old India, isn’t all that outdates? What will we learn in Modern India from them today?

October 23, 2024

Rama and Krishna are the two names that have governed the Indian psyche and moulded the Indian thought and temperament for so long that it

Many times we see a person with mediocre talent and efforts get success (sometimes unprecedented) quickly and others with much better abilities and hard work keep on struggling to get their rightful dues. What could be the reasons for this disparity🤨? Could deity worship and performing some specific rituals influence the outcome?

October 22, 2024

We feel a sense of injustice because we assume that outer success is some kind of a reward that God should give for good deeds.

Worldly desires are not created by man in the lab. They are given to him naturally. If everything is created by the divine then these desires also must have their right place and purpose in the whole scheme. Then why consider it as a hindrance in spiritual progress? Why are we taught to limit them rather than teaching us to fully aspire for their fulfillment as a duty? What is the purpose of these materialistic desires in our existence🥧🏓👕?

October 21, 2024

The purpose of desire is to shake up the inert tamasic state in which man may sink and, like the stone, neither seek nor aspire,

Is it true that Hitler wanted to invade India 🇮🇳, is it true that this was his final destination? So then there must me thousands of World War stories, movies, etc and not one is talking about this event, why?
