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.
I have held these experiences close out of fear they might be mere mental illusions, but they have now become constant: spontaneously seeing the Mother’s feet or form before me, her symbol glowing during prayer, and a deep orange sun against the sky.🪷✨🙏🏻[…]
These are all genuine experiences that indicate a deep inner link with the Divine Mother, especially Her Knowledge or Maheshwari aspect. …
This new-age concept of detachment – how valid is it? Does it work? Sincerity of effort is more important, right, than jumping from one thing to the other. As you said, nothing is perfect. Had to be made so. Then why so much stress on it? 🧘🕊️ […]
A certain degree of inner detachment gives us a vantage point in terms of taking decisions. It also blunts the reactions of pleasure and pain
My dealing assistant’s brother-in-law has been very ill for 3 weeks. He is suffering from kidney cancer and a blockage in the arteries. He is nearly 45 years old and has 2 daughters (ages 16 and 14). 🙏🏻🕊️[…]

Could you please advise whether one can chant slokas or mantras, in particular to read hanuman chalisa everyday after opening to Mother. Should I offer this act to Mother before reading the Hanuman Chalisa? I’m confused; could you please clarify? 📿📖🌼
Offer the act, the urge and the feeling to the Divine Mother and pray that the readings and invocation reach Her.
On 9th Dec 1972, the Mother said : “ Do not ask me any questions about the mind; I am no longer interested in it. I am concentrated on union with the overmind.” What did she mean by it? Wasn’t she doing yoga of the cells at that time? And why didn’t she want to instruct the disciple about the mind? 🧬✨🙏🏻
It is about establishing the principle of the Overmind fully in the cells as part of the cellular yoga.
As to giving instructions about the
For the last two years, I have constantly felt fearful about my family members’ health. I keep worrying that if something happens to them, what will I do? At the same time, I also feel fearful about my own health, wondering what my family members would do if something happened to me. 🕊️💪🙏🏻 […]
The fact that your parents went through the challenges successfully should bring faith rather than fear. Fear is an absence of faith. Ask for faith
Most early devotional movements seem to be emotional-vital surges rather than true bhakti. ❤️🙏🏻🌼
Difficult to generalise. The vital-emotional surges may spring from the soul because the emptional centre is near the psychic. There are beautiful psychic movements that
Real bhakti perhaps belongs primarily to the psychic being, while the mind and emotional-vital nature mainly reflect, imitate, or express its influence. ❤️🌼
Yes. The other parts may reflect. After all the psychic consciousness must lead and guide the others. Imitation is a different thing. It is a
Dear Alok Bhaiya, Sri Aurobindo has cited the Siege of Troy as one of the four major events in the history of the world. What kind of transformation did this event bring about in the world? 🏛️📜 […]
As Sri Aurobindo reveals the seige of Troy created Hellas after the name of Helen over whom the war was fought. Before the Trojan war,
It’s been more than a month now; I feel pressure in my neck every time I read Savitri, even sometimes when I am simply walking on the terrace or just sitting quietly. It started happening very concretely on the night of 24th April when I was meditating; that day I experienced a kind of pressure and a few sensations in my head. 📖🧘✨ […]
It is the pressure of the higher consciousness trying to open the centres of the Mind and speech. It is a good thing, the sign
Sri Aurobindo says there is no shortcut to Divinity. Does it mean that, apart from an 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 never been able to fully understand: 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
My daughter, aged 22 years, has anger issues. When she gets angry about anything, she becomes very aggressive and uncontrollable. Can you give me any advice on how to console her and make her calm down? 🌿🕊️
Whatever be the inner or outer reasons for anger, it is best not to get into any argument or discussion with someone who is in
Also Alok da, in my experience, being sweet and nice doesn’t help always. People take advantage. Have to safeguard and protect from wasting/leaking energy on people unnecessarily. Drama. Circus. 🕊️🌿
Yes, yes. Stay away from drama, circus, people and all that. Stay with peace and equanimity.
Is it best to let go, seeing him lose himself in an unhealthy bond driven by convenience, insecurity, and wealth rather than genuine love? Coming from a protected, sattvic temperament focused on higher knowledge, I struggle to grasp such gross vital motives or how people disregard karma. 💞🕊️[…]
It is a choice each one must make and go through the consequences. The Divine knows everything. What we think or feel about others is
At 34, a recent ADHD diagnosis helps explain years of career instability, executive paralysis, and personal hardship, which I view through the lens of Integral Yoga as Grace hastening my progress. 🌱🎯🙏🏻[…]
First thing first. It is to stop using any label to define or describe yourself. Each one has his or her own unique difficulties and
But what should I do in this case? Do I stop talking to her till I get rid of this sexual thought? If I do so, maybe she will feel I am cheating her. It is also difficult to get rid of it. Because On the other hand, an intense urge of sexual thought coming to me. 🌿🧘🙏🏻 […]
