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.
Your today’s answer on Traditions shows how immature you people are. If she becomes even more stubborn, inspired by your response, what will the atmosphere be like in her home? Why don’t you teach or show a middle path? If she wears these things out of respect when she’s around her in-laws, what’s the harm? Change is bound to come from the next generation anyway, so why the rush? why not let today’s generation be a little more flexible in such emotional issues and prevent families from breaking apart?
The basis of holding families together should be mutual respect and love, acceptance of generational and other differences, above all truth that allows each individual
Dada, please say what is my aim🤔?
Each one has to find their own aim. The smaller the aim, the lesser the effort needed but also lesser the joy of life. Those
Pranam Alokji, can you please kindly explain to me this —- The sign that I am in contact with Perfect God is that there is nothing in my life about which I will complain!. Even in human relationships we see that a mother will not allow the child to jump from heights which it can not manage…and she permits simply because a child keeps on asking and afterwards saying to child that see it was you who asked for it..Such things happen only when they are out of control of human mother. But with devine mother you say nothing is out of her control. So in perfect love (as you understand God to be) what should happen that God by his power of oneness and devine love should share God,’s devine insights to the devotee so that devotee will not ask fo such things…🤨
To do what you say is an equivalent of creating automatons, a perfect faultless humanity, robotic and exact and artificial and false driven by AI
Is Sri Aurobindo a God like Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu or a Teacher or a Philosopher to whom we can worship him as a Gurudev. If he is a God, then please explain to me why we should consider him as a God. Please answer me I’m in a big confusion😖…
Sri Aurobindo is a Guru because he shows us the path to freedom from Ignorance. His teaching liberates us from the confusions born from the
Sometimes I tend to listen to crude-course, often vitally stimulating music 🎶such as bollywood dance music or similar dance video, I start having a sharp headache. Why does that happen?
It happens because you are sensitive to the difference between the notes of music and can feel their effects in the very body. Music and
Is the information and knowledge the same or different? Why do I ask you, In my daily work, I encounter a few people who are well educated, informative, and have the information about what is going on around the world, They talk about the Gita, Veda but for any event, they have a negative approach, and there are few people, the society called the illiterate, but have the faith on god, do there work very sensually, always have a positive approach to the life. It seems they are happy with what they have. So I ask this🤔?
Information is the data we gather through the senses. Knowledge comes when we process the data applying buddhi to what we have read or heard
Sir this Chaturvarna secured us an order, but got distorted incourse of time. But now all freedom is also distorted, then what should be the foundation of order??
Anything that is imposed from outside without a commensurate inner change tends to degenerate sooner or later. It is what happened to the fourfold order
Alok da,this is a question on “desire” as I’m trying to understand from what Sri Aurobindo wrote and also from my own little perplexion I’m facing in life right now. in the opening passage of national value of art Sri Aurobindo says unlike the simple primitive life, wants of vital instincts brought the hunger for wealth, luxury, beautiful women, rich food and drinks but also brought violence, fraud, selfishness etc…i was reminded of this passage when Someone online recently posted a weirdly fascinating piece of design they’ve made for their luxurious home and there’s this particular response to that post by praising it and mocking the glorification of so called banal minimalist houses, let me quote it for context “This is what you gave up when you chose minimalism. You gave up drama. You gave up spirit. You gave up whimsy. And you plastered all of it flat”🤔.
Minimalism and spartan living has little to do with spiritual life. The spiritual man and woman can sport with luxury, govern a kingdom, engage in

Is it wrong according to our traditions to choose not to wear sindoor, mangalsutra, or toe rings after marriage? My in-laws keep questioning me, saying that I’m becoming too Westernized😒
These traditions including outer marks to define our identity have a social and symbolic significance rather than moral and spiritual. All societies try to cement

Alok da whenever I see The Mother’s photograph I feel she is so happy with me and smiling, now I feel it’s a self importance part of me that thinks like this, so how to look at this as how can Ma be always happy with me😇?
Often we project our own inner state upon the Mother. To feel that the Mother is happy and smiling is because you feel Her with
Sir, is it not time for all the pontiff’s of various peetams in our country to find the fulfillment of their respective path in Sri Aurobindo’s vision and seek to work together for its realisation🤨
The difficulty is that most pontiff and priests use religious doctrines as a way to fulfil ambitions to dominate and control people rather than truly
There is one saying of Sri Aurobindo that “It is by a constant inner growth that one can attain a constant newness and unfailing interest in life. There is no other satisfying way.” I do not understand how by growing inwardly leads to newness, happiness and interest in life🤔? Please enlighten. Thanking you Dada

How does one choose or is chosen by one’s Ishta Devata🙏 and why are we attracted to them more than others? For example, I feel more attracted to Krishna since my childhood but I don’t know the reason behind it.
The attraction towards an Ishta Devata itself is a sign that He is calling you. It depends upon the lines along which the soul has
