What to tell a scientist 🧪🔬 questioning the existence of God?
My name is Benjamin Jovit
I am a graduate from Bellial College
All that is knowledge, I know it

Lastly, I want to ask how I can develop unwavering faith and gain the profound knowledge that you have. Your teachings and guidance have been a source of strength for me🙏, and it’s because of you that I am still praying to the Mother. I aspire to have the same deep connection and understanding that you do.
Ask for it sincerely from the Mother and spend your time
I had a dream that my clothes were being washed in the washing machine and that they were on a spin cycle. And then I was in this shop buys new clothes where all the clothes were of only my size in that store. Can you please explain this😯?
It means purification of outer nature and removal of various imprints so that even the outer nature may change and grow…
Alok da, apart from the supramental evolution of human beings,what would be the place of animal 🐕🦺🐜creation in the supramental creation? Is it gonna stay the same in the manner of hunger that is Death?
The hunger that is Death pursues human nature also. But surely the supramental influence is already impacting the animal and plant world as well as
Why do people in this age doubt whether the Ramayana and Mahabharata actually happened😡?
The modern mind evolved under the pressure of Reason. That is why it lost the Intuitive sense of the earlier ages of mankind. But this
Sometimes, the discouragement from my family makes me lose confidence😥. How can I overcome this, especially when I don’t have any miracles to show them as proof that my prayers are working?
Miracles have very little to do with faith. There are plenty of forces in the vital world, some of them even Asuric (like the genii
Gita mentions that sthitha pragnya as a being without निरहङ्कारः. Sri Aurobindo says that to be truly free of निरहङ्कारः, the nature has to be supramentalised otherwise the ‘I’ sense remains, though in a sublimated and divine way. So what is निरहङ्कारः according to the Gita🤔?
Nirahankar, निरहंकार, normoha, निर्मोह, ahamshoonya, अहमशून्य, are closely allied states. Nirahankar is the absence of egoism which is very much possible by the practice of
Please inform: I am curious to know why Sri Aurobindo has given us the new Gayatri & Devi mantra when the famous gayatri mantra and other Devi mantras are already there in scriptures🤔?
Sri Aurobindo went beyond the realizations of the Rishis of the Vedas and the Upanishads. In the Vedic Age there was nothing like tradition. Each
There is a very real danger of ‘disguised desires’ in yoga and yet these desires are not all that obvious to practitioners. What are some examples of these desires🤨? How does one catch and uproot these disguised desires when they rise up, especially as they seem to hide around in the subconscious?
Quite a plenty. Commonest is the idea of helping humanity that is a form of ambition but often veiled by the thought of selfless service.
How many languages Sri Aurobindo had known ? Out of those how many were foreign and how many Indians ☺?
Though someone whom I could trust once told me that he knew some 30 languages or so (this however could be due to different dialects
I had a question on a particular phrase in Savitri 🕊. “The universe is an endless masquerade: For nothing here is utterly what it seems; It is a dream-fact vision of a truth Which but for the dream would not be wholly true, A phenomenon stands out significant Against dim backgrounds of eternity;”What exactly is a “dream-fact vision of a truth”? Either we have dreams, or we have facts, two different order of realities.
To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the
I am unable to get rid of the bad experience which my ex gave to me. It continuously remains in back of my mind😖.
It is better to understand that human love, until it is uplifted by high idealism or rooted deep in the soul, both rare possibilities, it
Alok da, when there are riots between Hindu Muslims who is wrong🤔?
In any quarrel both sides are wrong. But since a riot involves loss of life and property, it becomes a serious problem of law and
Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?
Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind. In any
Can you please share something on Subhash Chandra Bose, I think he was a overrated freedom fighter. What was he thinking by going and shaking hands with Hitler? Why people have made so many movies and stories on him🙄?
Subhash Chandra Bose, though a man of courage was moved by ambition and a kind of sentimental idealism to which such natures are prone. No
I think my aspiration has switched off📴, please help me get back on track. No matter what I try, I’m unable to make sustained efforts to change myself.There was a phase not too long ago when I would eagerly read Mother and Sri Aurobindo, listen many talks on youtube channels whenever I get even a little bit of free time. But now..
These phases come to everyone. Possibly there was an over eager effort on one part but rest of the nature was unable to keep pace.
If Asuras 👿and Devas 😇, good and evil souls all have to reach at the same goal with or without consciousness or other efforts then why one has to put so much efforts like surrender, sincerity, remember and offer , atmosphere, presence, discipline, punctuality? Can’ t one go through only faith wherever I am and whatever I am…with lot of defects and even full of ignorance. Divine will take me to my real and destined goal?
The Asuras and Devas do not reach the same goal. They both reach the Divine, which is a different thing. The Asuras are dissolved in
These days I am letting too much of clutter affect me in terms of persons, their behaviour and thoughts, my feelings and thoughts – all that hardly have any importance. What should I do😯?
Yes these things have very little importance. It is the great malady that we often give too much importance to things that have little or
