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.
My question is in the context of Para and Apara nature/Para and Apara Vidya. (1) It is said in the first section of the Mundaka Upanishad that there are two types of Vidya: Para and Apara; the one which is Para among them gives the knowledge of that Akshar Tattva – Akshar Brahm. Atha para yaya tadaksharamdhigamyate. 📖🌸[…]
Yes the Gita does not mention the Divine Mother except passingly. Instead it speaks of the Divine Grace and surrender that alone can ultimately lead
While observing the distinct effects of left (cooling) and right (heating/expansive) nostril breathing, I have experienced subtle bliss but no direct conversion of virya into ojas. How do these dual pranic pathways and corresponding brain centres process such physiological changes? 🌬️🔥🌸[…]
Breath is only one form of vehicle, a main one, through which prana enters into the physical system for providing energy to the body. The
Help me understand the meaning of Intermiscence and tell me how to get rid of vanity? 🌿🙏🏻
Intermiscence means the mixture of lower elements and tendencies such as habitual concepts, egoistic ideas, ambition and sexual impulse in our aspiration for higher things.
In Words of The Mother – II, The Mother says, “Get rid of all violence and you will no longer have any fear.” But I don’t quite understand it; what is the relation between violence and fear? In what context is violence being used? 🕊️🛡️
By violence is meant the urge to hurt or harm which stems from deep insecurities as you will see in certain groups as well as
Alok da, I wish to ask you about contamination. When I meet people, whether it’s from Integral Yoga or from the path of common devotion, my consciousness always comes out to the outward material being’s consciousness. It becomes horrible to me. Right, I have to struggle for days to go within. 🛡️🕊️ […]
I can quite understand this. It happens due to a sensitive nervous system which picks up the vibrations all around. The solution is not becoming
I dreamt I was rushing to attend a 1:15 PM office workshop, but my cab was late, broke down, and made unexpected temple stops for colleagues. After an anxious journey through unfamiliar routes, we miraculously arrived at Ashram Road by 1:10 PM. 🌙🛤️[…]
The meaning of this dream is very clear. The office you are searching for is the work you are here to do which, as the
Respected Sir, I am not able to decide which word to take for japa: “Maa” or “Om”. Please clarify. 📿🙏🏻
Both are wonderful and universal mantra, not requiring a guru to transmit it. To me, Maa connects better as it includes the heart and life
Agreed, Alok da, but not about motive. If it feels negative and energies heavy – pulling you down then ok to say no, right and detach, why tug along.. like how you told me on vital interactions. I feel it’s draining me – even these friendships now – I did ask you earlier too – and I’m not being upfront about it and just carrying along to be nice societally.. but it doesn’t serve me now.. 🕊️🌿 […]
There is nothing wrong in being alone. In fact it is the sign of strength. To stay alone one need not judge others. What they
If I love & respect someone, then I have a wish that she would also know something about the Mother, then may I tell her about the Mother? May I provide some books to her? 📚🌸 […]
If you feel the person is close enough then there is nothing wrong in sharing your deepest interests. Giving her books is perfectly fine. Photograph
Because I had no knowledge about these occult forces, our lives- mine nd my immediate family members’- experienced intense pressure and severe consequences. I’m sure it has something to do with this sadhana and Divine work. 🔥🌸🙏🏻[…]
It means to keep the flame of aspiration always burning. This flame of aspiration is Agni, that helps us keep moving forward. It is the
I regularly participate in the book distribution service at the temple. Because I struggle with the pronunciation of certain words, I am unable to teach the children’s classes at the temple. However, using the capacity and opportunity I have been blessed with, I am able to do book distribution service. 📚🙏🏻 […]
One does not easily get an opportunity to do service for Divine in whatever capacity one gets. The real sense of this service is however
Evil eye (najar) in small children. Does something like this actually happen? If yes, why does it happen and how can it be prevented/cured? 🛡️🙏🏻
The eyes are indeed a marvelous organ that not only receive the vibrations of Light but also express and thereby transmit a host of feelings
Dear Sir, I am sharing a few thoughts; please give your insights. These came after reading Sri Aurobindo’s writings and listening to your talks. 1. There is nothing but the Divine. This is the heart and crux of spiritual sciences. ✨🙏🏻 […]
This is broadly correct. Yet, in the manifestation or creation we have to make a distinction between the Divine as He manifested in the past
But I don’t know how to tackle/handle it. Really doubt I can stop it. It is almost to the point of obsession in a weird, funny way. What’s the best course of action? To create the illusion that the person is as good as me, maybe. Copying actions superficially without the underlying values/principles/ethics. Not inspired. Only for convenience/gain, I feel. 🌱✨
I am not sure if copying or imitating someone is simply an obsession. One should discover oneself rather than imitate. Each of us has something
When in confusion, what to do? When we doubt a situation and it feels spiritually / intuitively correct but materially / logically does not. Heart says yes, but mind says no. And we are stuck swinging like a pendulum. 💗🕊️ […]
As to the heart and the head, in general it is better to follow the heart even if it brings unintended results. What one must
Dear Sir, I had a strange and bizarre dream. A tall, slender plant had grown from my head. It had a single root embedded in my skull, and two tall, straight, parallel stems emerged from the base, with no branches. 🌿🙏🏻[…]
The plant represents certain vital energies, the life force straining upwards and trying to take roots in the mind. It indicates that the vital parts
Is it true that I have evolved from jad bastu? Then the stone flowing in the river, by striking one stone against another or on the land by sunlight & other environmental forces, it break down into small particles & gets a chance at life, like single-cell species: amoeba, bacteria, etc. 🌱✨ […]
The Divine Presence is everywhere and in everything. The individual soul however enters when the need for individualisation begins, generally in higher mammals such as
Dear Alokda, from a spiritual perspective, what does the term manifestation mean? 🌱✨
Manifestation means to give form to the formless. It is somewhat like a creative artist giving expression to the key idea he holds within himself
