I have been carrying deep past trauma and recent life stress, which has left me feeling chronically exhausted, fearful, and isolated. Lately, I frequently experience frightening episodes during sleep where I feel a presence waking me up or find myself acting unconsciously. 🕊️🙏🏻[…]

I have a few questions regarding Yagya: 📜🔥
These are beautiful questions which Sri Aurobindo has himself answered at great length. Here are the brief responses. Will be happy to elaborate further if
Do mind and the awareness isn’t a same term? For seeking the truth of the being. 🧠🕯️

For the past few days, I have been experiencing the joy of serving Mother. I simply wish for more and more opportunities to serve—to the point where I have no idle time left. The more service comes my way, the greater the happiness I feel; this is an experience I am having for the first time in my life. 🙏🏻🌸[…]
It is not easy to engage into a deeper sadhana while in the family and surrounded by all kinds of people. First thing is self
Alok da, you get many questions over here regarding dreams. I am always a bit perplexed about the question of whether one should even bother with them, be conscious of them and note them down, or utterly not bother and be ignorant of them? What’s their place in the practice of this yoga? 💭🌒🪷[…]
Dreams are a large chunk of our life given the time we spend in dreaming. Hence a study of dreams, and eventually becoming conscious of
Also, why did Neemkaroli Baba choose Steve Jobs for Apple and not some Indian fellow? Why are there no great Indian CEOs – so many people visit Kaichi Dham? 🙏🏻💼

1. Could you please comment briefly on the chronology of the Veda? Given the Earth’s repeated cataclysmic cycles, how was Vedic knowledge preserved? Before the Rsi of Bharatvarsh, who, if anyone, were its custodians? 📜🔥
There has never been an Age of mankind when the Vedic Knowledge was not there. The Vedas is the Knowledge that has gone into creation,
I have been noticing something lately. Whenever I look at Sri Aurobindo’s photo for a while, I start feeling drowsy. This also happens sometimes when I read His writings. However, this does not happen to me with the Mother’s photos or writings. Is this a common experience? What could be the reason for this? 📷🕊️
It is not an uncommon experience. It is because Sri Aurobindo represents the supreme Knowledge in its deepest, highest sense and in the beginning, the
My question is: I have read that the psychic being is near the left chest (near the heart), so I have confidence that the intuition or a kind of assurance I get whenever I concentrate in any situation in life comes from the psychic being. And so far, everything it has conveyed has been the truth and has given me experience to grow and learn. 🕯️🕊️[…]
The most important thing is the needed purification and inner concentration on the Divine Mother. Call Her Name with love. Sadhana is not a mental
I recently travelled to the Char Dham. While it was a different experience in many ways, I also found myself feeling a little disheartened at times by the way certain things seemed to be managed the commercial aspects, the focus on money, and some of the arrangements around the temples. 🛕🕯️[…]
These places were, at one point of time, powerful spots. Yogis often visited and lived there far from the maddening crowd and engaged in tapasya.
Kindly clear my doubts regarding the following: 1)Are Maheshwari, MahaKali, MahaLaxmi, MahaSaraswati the Shakti aspects of Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Palak), Mahesh (Sanharak), Krishna (Anand Prem Saundarya)? 🌸✨[…]
Sri Aurobindo does speak about the original four powers and aspects which are clearly the four aspects of the One Sacchidananda. These are namely Brahma
But, what about other forms of attachment? For example, Sometimes we become attached to physical objects, our opinions, our self-image, or even certain feelings that we don’t want to let go of. Are these also considered attachments? Why do we cling to them so strongly? 🪢🌱
All sticking, clinging, holding on to anything in the field of Nature is called attachment because they are temporary and transient and subject to change.
You said, “It is now up to you to take the lead and move in the direction of your true spiritual destiny.” Do I need to make any decisions in this direction now? What do you mean by this, Dada? 🌱🕊️
It means that you should now turn towards the future to fulfil your true spiritual destiny. Put your heart and mind more and more in
The Puranas place great emphasis on Naam Jaap. How is this understood on the path of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother? Is there a similar practice or a different way of approaching remembrance of the Divine? 📿🙏🏻
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother both spoke of Nam Japa (of The Mother’s Name and Sri Aurobindo’s) as a powerful means in the integral yoga.
When one is in an inescapable, unpleasant situation, what should one do to find peace and overcome the situation without any counterproductive results? I am facing an uncomfortable situation daily due to my dependency on a babysitter. 🧸🕊️[…]
This happens because somewhere within we want to control the situations. That is not given to us. What is given to us is action and
For the cultivation of the physical, I can understand that it can be developed through vigorous physical exercise and being careful with diet and with the spread of gym culture, many youth today are getting into this. For the cultivation of mental faculties and buddhi-practice of concentration, being persistent through the academic subjects which demand lots of practice, etc. ⚡🌱[…]
The Mother describes how to develop and cultivate these different elements, – physical, vital, mental, psychic and spiritual. The physical does not develop only through
In the verse “Mana krama bachana chhadi chaturai, bhajata kripa karihahin Raghurai,” Goswami Tulsidas appears to set two essential prerequisites for receiving Sri Rama’s grace: completely surrendering the cleverness (chaturai) of mind, speech, and action, and actively engaging in bhajan.🙏🏻🎶 […]
Chaturai or cleverness means trying to act smart with God as if one can fool or trick Him in your favor. Bhajan literally means to
