Dear sir , why Sri Rama asked sugriva to fight with bali, poor fellow had no chance of winning , Rama could have killed bali without sending sugriva to fight. I think it was an example of active surrender. But in the case of vibhishan, it was different, he was not asked to fight ravana , may be because he was not a warrior, although vibhishan was passively engaged in the battlefield giving secrets and building strategies to help rama . Rama even took a giant hit which was meant for Vibhishan while sugriva was beaten mercilessly by bali . Please share your thoughts?

Vali had no personal enmity with Rama. Hence the only way his killing could have been justified according to the dharma of the Age was

This is just out of curiosity. The Mother has said that France will be the link between Europe and the teachings of India. Do you think things are developing to make this happen? Were Swami Vivekananda’s talks in the US and England an opportunity for those countries, too, to participate? I ask this because our teachings (mostly of mixed value, and perhaps you would say somewhat corrupted) are being introduced to the West through the US and maybe Germany.🌐🌍🗺️🛂

France was and still is developing closer links with India, politically, economically as well as culturally. But there is a strong stamp of misguided socialism

I had a dream: I’m at the airport and I walk into a plane, a very large luxurious plane, the colours were more white and goldish. I thought it was odd that there was no one checking tickets so I just walked into the plane. I figured it was okay to board as for me as it symbolized progress. There were few people and I knew I was early. So I sat down in a very luxurious seat and was enjoying the interior. There was a soft misty white golden light inside and I knew it was for very privileged people. 🌜💭💤😴

It signifies lack of receptivity to the Divine Grace due to rigid mental and moral ideas.

Firstly, I would like to share how I started watching your videos and became aware of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. In my life, I’ve been deeply connected to Pandit Shri Ram Sharma Acharya of Shantikunj, Gayatri Pariwar. In one of the books, I read that his Guru from the Himalayas (who is said to be more than 1,000 years old) specifically asked him to meet the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. He did come to Pondicherry to meet them, but what was discussed between them remains unknown. That’s how I came to know about them and started watching your videos. I have also visited Auroville and the Samadhi. I genuinely felt at home when I was there and look forward to visiting again.

I have heard about Pundit Sri Ram Sharma Acharya through some of his disciples as well reading of some books including the magazine Akhand Jyoti

Today in my dream, I saw Goddess Durga static image. I felt like it was for few seconds and it was like a image in my heart. I immediately woke up. I said Aho bhaygya (What a fortune ) in my mind. Then i again slept. But my ishta is not Goddess Durga. I saw many people describing their dream in the website and asking questions. So I thought about putting it here and understand was there any meaning in it? 🦁🔱👑🔥

It is not necessary that you will see the Ishta Devata only. It means that the Divine Mother is with you as the power of

Sir, whenever I think about watching a movie or a series, I start feeling something unpleasant. It doesn’t feel good. I get a different kind of feeling that is not joyful. Even when I start watching, I feel something inside, like—“What am I doing? Am I betraying Mother?” So, should I not watch movies? Or can I watch them? Is this coming from my mind or from the psychic being?🎞️🎥🍿🎬

These thought suggestions come from a type of adverse forces that want the sadhak to feel guilty and unfit. Do not listen to them. The

I want to get married now. I’m in my mid thirties already. But feel fear of either the boy and family being conservative or too party type and culture less. I don’t know now if I lost too much time – seeking spirituality and other things – I did’nt actively choose it – just happened. Will I find that person who gets / understands me. How do I attract the right person? Maybe who is healed and evolved. 🔍❤️🧭🗺️✨

I am not sure what you mean by seeking spirituality. Spiritual life is not about some practices of meditation etc or about intellectual philosophy. It
