As far as prarabdha karma is concerned, does man have to suffer it? Does all accumulated karma get destroyed through sadhna? Please explain this further. I have heard from Yogis that accumulated karma is stored in our Gyanmaya Kosha, Sushumna Nadi and Sapta Chakra, therefore, piercing Brahma Granthi, Vishnu Granthi and Rudra Granthi, Kundalini Shakti consumes all accumulated karma in its journey from Mooladhara to Sahasrar Chakra through Sushumna. Therefore, first of all, it is said to get free from accumulated karma through sadhna. Only then will the vision be truly pure and the seeker will progress on the spiritual path in the true sense.๐โณ๐พ๐ค๏ธ
What yogis and others say is their business. It is a matter of faith in their words and the height and depth of their experience.

Why was Hitler so hell bent upon exterminating all the Jews? (I am aware of the fact that the Mother had recognized him to be an Asura and and both Sri Aurobindo and Mother had combined forces to defeat him during the 2nd World War)๐๐ฅ๐ช๐ฉ๏ธโ
Hitler was an Asura and like any Asura he wanted domination and control. The Asura does it by either converting or exterminating all that one

Over the past decade I have faced far too many personal & professional failures. Nothing I seek is seeking me, in fact its getting repelled from me the moment I start working towards it. I’m loosing my faith in the world, I see myself alienating from almost everyone. I’m a well meaning, truthful and soul curious person. What’s happening to me? Is this a sign for me to leave the material world?๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
It is the moment to reckon the truth that you are perhaps not marked for the things that you are seeking in ignorance. It is

How are the practices of inner child healing , past life therapy, integral healing, as in what difference do you find in these and the process of Integral Yoga dealing with all parts of the being?โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐ฑ๐๐ฆ
These things have nothing to do with yoga, let alone the Integral Yoga. They are simply the mind’s ways of dabbling with hidden subliminal parts

What is the difference between witness consciousness and self awareness ? How do you remain in the state of witness consciousness? Can you pls give some practical tips?๐ค๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ญ
There are layers of witness within us. The first layer is a part of the mind that can separate itself from the outer actions, even

I keep wanting to be at the Ashram, this is how I feel every day and many times. I feel like I’m convincing myself to be here forcefully, getting only parts of me temporarily attached to a perspective or a decision. This just doesn’t feel absolute enough, and even though They’re everywhere and always with us, my nature felt closer there and it felt hopeful, receptive and faith also felt stronger. I also strongly feel I need to offer so much more of my mind, will, heart, sense of identity too, and I feel I’ve bound these up for partial reasons. I don’t feel deterred by the difficulties you described, not because I’m so strong, but because that’s the only way towards the one important thing. Why do I feel this way, is it unrelated to aspiration, but just a mental or vital insistence?ย ๐ณ๐ชทโจ๐ธ๐๏ธ
Come then. Take a leap of faith with trust in Her Grace. Remember these words of the Mother.

I was sleeping and it was as if some lines of Savitri were going on in my mind, the meaning of which I don’t know, then suddenly one of those thoughts came that all this is a game of man and nature and there were not just words, it was very few but the divine truth of this thought descended inside me,..โพ๏ธ๐๐ค๐๏ธ
Why doubt these beautiful experiences. Our mind is only a channel, not the originator of anything. It does modify the things that come to it

But my question here is that many gyani margi saints like Raman mahrisi, Nisargdatt and so on …. I never know whether their followers had spontaneous and sometimes uncontrolled kriyas happening with the many time for years. They say sometimes energies of kali sometimes lord Narsimha etc doing things with them. They say it’s release process going on , blockages etc. Is it possible for a very naive or not so developed spiritual aspirant to experience nondoership…๐ฆ ๐ โก ๐
These radical awakenings are certainly suspect. Every path has a certain practice, especially the effort at self-purification. These sudden seemingly marvellous experiences are generally the

Dream 1: I noticed that there was an amulet around my neck which was wrapped in a red cloth and seeing this I wondered where did this come from, then someone says that your mother got it done by some deity, then I am walking on some road and there is a man with me whom I do not know, ๐โพ๏ธ๐ค๐๏ธ

One more thing is that there is a lot of disturbance around me and I am facing some trouble, like if I sit peacefully at home and do not give any reply to anyone then I face trouble, father is a very alcoholic person and the people who know him outside think that he is crazy, so can I come to Sri Arvind Ashram and do penance for 2-3 months? And what will have to be done for this?๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ช๐

I see a light on the Ajna Chakra, initially it is very small, then on paying more attention to it the light turns into a round shape, then on paying attention to it a black round appears in the middle of that round light, then when I concentrate on that black round then my concentration goes deeper as if I am going into an infinite space, then that black round turns into a small, very small point of light.๐ฃ ๐๏ธ โจ ๐งโโ๏ธ

If the Physical being is afflicted and cannot be perfect despite effort, mental faculties are just average so the gyan explained in words is not understood much will the refinement of the Vital being make up for the imperfections of the other two aspects of our being and lead us towards a closer connection with the Psychic.๐๏ธ๐ค๐๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ

Pranam Alok da. Some times I feel with worry and anxiety and then i call maa maa then after some time i feel relaxed is that normal? what is the real reason behind it.๐ฐ๐๐ง ๐ซจ๐ฅ
Worry and anxiety come because the mind driven under the stress of desires wants things to happen in certain ways. With the development of the
