I have been reading Savitri and other major Arya writings of Sri Aurobindo for last couple of years and I have observed that when I read it for the first time I didn’t understand anything but I held on to it, because of the Mother’s advice to read it even if you don’t understand. 😊📖[…]
That is a very correct observation which quite a few people make. The Mother has mentioned the process passingly that ‘the words create new brain
Why did Sri Aurobindo include Prithviraj Chauhan among the three greatest kings of India? To me, his personal adherence to Dharma seems to have been of the Highest Order, but it cost the Nation Greatly. 😥🙏🏻

During the period of death of anyone from family members, the ‘Days of Asudhi’, during those Twelve days, is there any harm in reading Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. 😢🥀

In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna reveals to Arjuna that they have been together since many previous lives. Apart from them being Nara and Narayana, are there any mentions of their other lives? 🦚

If we have a problem, should we solve it on our own or depend on the Grace? Will it become tamasic surrender if we depend on the Grace? 🙄
One must do both. Why either or? By making personal effort one is better prepared to receive the Grace. Ultimately of course it is always
Do you know a person named Lalitha whom Sri Aurobindo named. She was from Odisha and Sri Aurobindo said she was the Best Friend of Radha. What did she do at the Ashram? 😊🙏🏻🌹

I had a very frightening dream. I was sitting by the side of a big rock with a man-made/ artificially carved, narrow stream coming out of the mountain, and it had the bluest and crystal-clear water running down as a stream. I was with a friend. […] 🫥
Dreams come true if we believe in them. Fears come true if we believe they are real. Hopes come true if we trust that they
I want to know something about my Aspiration, which is not growing & Surrender to “The Mother” is also not growing. Is this due to the laziness of the body & mind? I started a business for my basic survival, but the business is not working. I can’t move out of that place till now. & loss is going on. […] 😔
Generally this dimming of the aspiration happens because we have not worked on removing the smoke of ignorance that stifles the fire in us. The
Namaskar alok Da, Considering that Sonam Wangchuk – the Climate Activist – who is in jail, has drawn inspiration from Sri Aurobindo’s autobiographical account of his year-long detention in Alipore Jail (as detailed in ‘Tales of Prison Life’), – how do you assess the way the current government is addressing environmental issues and engaging with activists — and on what basis can one evaluate who is “Right” or “Wrong” in the government-versus-activist dynamic?” 🌿
First about the facts. Mr Sonam Wangchuk is not inspired by Sri Aurobindo. There is nothing even remotely common between him and Sri Aurobindo whose
“There is no criterion, but one can easily distinguish if one is in the inward condition, not sleep, in which most visions take place, by the nature of the impression made. A vision in a dream is more difficult to distinguish from a vivid dream-experience but one gets to feel the difference”- from Letters of Yoga. Alok Da, can you please explain the last line written by Sri Aurobindo? 🌄
A vivid dream experience is generally of a symbolic nature that reveals a deeper truth through the sign language of dreams. A vision, on the
