Out of deep reverence and spiritual curiosity, I have a question regarding the internal structure of the sacred Samadhi of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. I have heard that in the Samadhi vault, Sri Aurobindo’s physical body is placed in a wooden casket at the lower level, and directly above it, The Mother’s physical body is placed in another wooden casket. 🕯️🌸[…]

Above these caskets, there is a layer of earth/soil (which is said to be changed periodically), topped by the marble slab where devotees offer their prayers. Could you please guide me on whether this understanding is correct? I would be highly grateful for the authentic insights into the sacred Samadhi’s structure.

Yes, the understanding is quite correct. It is also generally believed (based on some conversations with old earliest disciples) that while the rectangular part contains the divine body of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the square part that extends towards the western side was the yagyavedi of Rishi Agastya in ancient times.

Affectionately,

I am not in favor of speculation and putting money in shares. Mutual bonds or deposits with fixed interests is fine. But speculation is like a gamble and raises the price artificially. It is not a good thing to indulge into, from the spiritual point of view of course.

This was the second time this happened. I had a dream at night that my scooty had stopped because it was out of fuel; this was the dream. Now real thing that happened the next day was that the same thing happened, but because I was aware, I went to the petrol pump and the scooty stopped right there only. 🌙🔮[…]

These are dream signals given by certain benevolent vital forces that are in contact with you. Of course these will pass off as premonitory dreams.
