I wanted to ask you: ‘What is Sanatan Dharma?’. 🌄
‘I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Srikrishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do
A couple of days back, I had a horrifying dream. I saw at the main door of my home some mischievous adolescents standing. I got a feeling that they were malevolent and would try to enter my home. 👹🏚️[…]
The dream means an attempt by the forces of the vital world to return as they were during your adolescence. There are however benevolent powers
Alok Da, When I introspect into myself in what’s lacking, what seems to be lacking is the Will and when I read Bande Mataram, – Sri Aurobindo shows what kind of granite Will that ‘March of History’ demand from Men and Nations and what happens when it’s lacking, In Yogic Sadhan (from Record of yoga), he writes Will and Shakti are the first thing needed and how far can it go in the actions of Vibuthi and the Avatar. 🔥🦚[…]
Yes the will is the most important element for success in any endeavour. It can be developed as we develop the muscles by training and
What is voidness, blankness? How are these different from Inertia? In emptiness vital becomes restless to fill it up with some ordinary activities, then how to handle the vital and become peaceful?🌿
There are two kinds of void experiences. The higher is full of Peace and inner strength and joy. The other is its shadow from the
Respected Dada, Namaste. At one point in time, it seemed like Sadhana was going on well, Aspirations were high, and Surrender was there (may not be an integral one though). Some weaknesses in nature resurfaced like jealousy, sex impulse slowly and then vehemently afterwards. 🦋[…]
These phases come in every sadhak’s life. They have to be endured as the purificatory process. If one remains steadfast in faith and aspiration they
I had the habit of masturbation, which I have stopped for quite a few days. But lustful lower vital suggestions still come to me. I am thinking that if I can express that Vital energy in some higher form, then maybe I may be completely free from it. 😓[…]
One should stay busy and do vigorous physical exercises to channelise the sexual energies. Also cultivating the artistic side or developing hobbies such as painting,
I am writing daily one prayer from Mother’s Vol. 1 and one page from Savitri. Some of my old copies are getting torn or getting wet, and the words are not clear. What should I do with those old copies? ✍🏼
Beautiful. You can, after some time, say an year or so dispose them in a flowing stream or river.
I have a question regarding the evil eye for babies and kids. Usually in India, there is a saying in almost every society that babies and kids are easily susceptible to ‘Nazar Lagana’, either bad or good, so people do some rituals to ward off such things. 🫣[…]
The eyes are not only organs that receive the sensory impacts but also organs of extramission, that is to say, organs that in some way
I came across the following statement: “It is not our intellectual ideas that govern our action, but our nature and temperament, — but mati or even manyu, or, as the Greeks would have said, thumos and not nous.” 🌄[…]
It is true that will, ‘dhriti’ and not just ‘mati’ is of greater importance. But it is not either-or. Man needs both. The intellect must
Alok Da, can you please explain your answer today on: Diseases and Cures in more detail? Especially, 1) Openness and Receptivity of the Patient. 2) The Soul’s choice. 3) The present imperfection of our bodily life. 🙂🌻
Human beings are a combination of body, life and mind. And behind it all the secret soul. In other words there are at least four
I was reading about the experience of an American Professor who was visiting the Ashram when Sri Aurobindo was giving Darshan. In the waiting line, he supposedly tried negotiating a bit more time than others because he had come so far. 👁️🔥[…]
Absolutely. When we try to judge the Divine or doubt and verify it is like a salt doll trying to gauge the depth of the
I have been a vegetarian since childhood, but I often dream that someone is forcing me to eat meat or non-vegetarian food. Why? 🙄🍗
It is generally due to repressed subconscious formations of wanting to try and taste meat. The conscious mind shuts it off by regarding it as
Sometimes, you eagerly wait for a difficult situation to end because it feels exhausting and overwhelming. You keep wondering when it will finally be over. 😐[…]
It is because the vital energy was engaged in it. When the situation is over, the energy is released but then it is not directed
Removing the stance on Durga in Vande Matram, I knew it was Jinha and Nehru’s people-pleasing nature. Even that time, Sri Aurobindo said this so as not to remove Durga from it. 🦚[…]
The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have said different things in different contexts about the same person that may seem as if self-contradictory. But if we

I saw a dream in which I was working on a computer in a shop. There were two boys there who weren’t good for girls. I had two friends, one boy and one girl, who came there. The boy asked me to leave, and I went with them. 🫥[…]

Sir, Mahabharata is about Symbolism – “Draupadi is Kundalini Shakti and The Pandavas Represents the 5 Elements/Chakaras in Our Body.” (Reference: GOD Speaks to Arjuna by Paramahasa Ji). 🙏🏻🪷
There is a way to interpret the Ramayana and the Mahabharata in this symbolic way. But for a symbol to be correct it should be
My father’s side of the family (Palnitkar) are Shiv Bhakt. In our village, where the family lived and farmed, 6/700 years ago, one generation built a Shiv Mandir which still stands. This question came to my mind since the recent Maha Shivratri. 🪔[…]
