We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
Shri Krishna mantras can help us get liberation from past mistakes and their consequences. In this context, a final curiosity has arisen in my heart: 📿💙🙏🏻 […]
Let me explain once again. Sri Krishna does not see the way we see. Sin, forgiveness are human concepts, not the Divine. ..
Do Integration of one individual itself in the realization of the Ultimate love? 💗✨
The integration of the individual self is the first victory of love. The further victory of love is the integration of the individual with cosmic
Please accept my sincere regards. I have never been able to fully understand what this world truly is. Yet amidst this crowd, this noise, and this illusion, finding God perhaps is the most difficult journey of all. Sometimes it feels as though He exists everywhere, and at other times, it seems an entire lifetime may pass in the search for Him. 🌍✨🙏🏻
In its essence this world and all other worlds, in fact the whole creation is nothing but a manifestation of the Divine who is the
Sri Aurobindo says there is no shortcut to Divinity. Does it mean that, apart from understanding of yoga, one must fulfil certain moral, ethical responsibilities towards family or people before one can practise consecration to the Divine, union, realization of the Divine, etc.? 🪷🙏🏻
No no no. Moral, ethical, social notions have little to do with the true spiritual life. There are number of examples of authentic spiritual Masters
I have a question, Alok Da: I recently experienced a profound, day-long state of healing, peace and detachment after contemplating that true divinity lies beyond all determinations. By consciously releasing my sense of being the “doer” and shifting to “Thy Will be done,” I moved from a state of critical analysis to one of surrender. 🕊️🙏🏻[…]
What you tried earlier is the way of discernment characteristic of gyana yoga. Here one relies almost entirely upon one’s own efforts.
The second
The counsellor didn’t help Alok da. lol. Modern day psychiatry / philosophy is all based on medication and drug’s. For them smoking and lsd is normal. Stress is normal. Emotions not. Sensitivity not. She prescribed pills for me. I guess turning to God / Maa is best. 🌼🙏🏻
Yes, that is how the extreme reductionist view works. Of course medicines have their own limited role when the mind enters a too chaotic or
I had a curious dream and I remember it perfectly, so I wanted to consult you about it. I saw a picture from a distant and elevated place. In the picture, I saw a one floor building, in a shape of a perfect square and with no roof on it. The building was further sectioned into 4 perfect squares. There were also non 🌙✨ […]
It is not just a dream but a very beautiful experience that revealed to you the truth of your destiny, your true destiny, even a
I do have a lots of questions to ask, but I will ask one by one. Bhai, as per my nature, I love to stay alone, far from the crowd, but I am the same person who gets literally talkative with my close ones. To realise the divine presence, I try to avoid crowds, but I think I am doing it the wrong way. 🕊️🪷 […]
The key is not what we outwardly do or do not do, whether we speak more or less. The key is to remember The Mother
Requesting your prescription for growing in the Presence and closeness of the Master and Mother through whatever work, especially when physicaly away from the Ashram. Gratitude 🙏🏻🌼
Here is a prescription straight from the Lord and Master which would be the best for you. Frame it carefully in the inner chamber of
Is it true that the ashram school employs secular teachers from outside, as there is a dearth of disciples and ex-students contributing to teaching in the school? If disciples from outside are being employed, it is well and good. 🎓📚[…]
There is no truth in the Ashram hiring any teacher, secular or otherwise. No student is charged and no teacher is paid. Most of the
I am writing to you with deep humility and surrender to share a few intense experiences that have been happening in my sadhana, especially in the physical body. I feel guided to bring these to the notice of someone deeply connected with Sri Aurobindo’s work. 🪷✨ […]
The experiences you describe are quite classical of the kundalini awakening as a result of the Mother’s Force touching the crown and descending from above
Why is non-veg food allowed in the Ashram? 🍽️📖
Non-veg is not part of any meal provided by the Ashram to its inmates and visitors via the Dining Room. Chicken is however allowed to
Could you please explain a little more about the four brothers? Who are the four brothers this quote refers to? Which one was manifested in Champaklal ji? -📖🙏🏻 […]
The four brothers, in this context, are mentioned only in Champaklal ji’s reminiscence. As far as I remember they are faith, aspiration, sincerity and surrender.
I am requesting your proper guidance and understanding on the following two questions based on your spiritual knowledge and deep experience: The significance of chanting 16 rounds as directed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and propagated by temples: 🦚📿🙏🏻 […]
Chanting of God’s Name has a great power in it. The Name and the Sound contains the essential quality and the vibratory rhythm which embodies
I remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]
He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so
Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]
Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main Scriptures. It is a story added in some of
How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨
The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in
My father’s elder brother’s daughter’s son falls in love with a girl and married her. Since the girl belonged to a different caste, I adopted her according to Brahmin traditions and performed the Kanyadana (ritual giving away of the bride) to my sister’s son. 🤝🌼[…]
What you have done is a sweet gesture out of necessities of the traditional marraige. It is a kind of apad dharma which is not
