Sir, sometimes I feel that a large mass of India is unaware of the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Even a knowledge about the salient features of this Yoga is bound to attract many young people into the fold of this Path. 🎙️🌄[…]

How can the problem of conversion to Christianity be solved? I come from Chhattisgarh, and nearly all the villages surrounding my village have turned Christians. In reaction, Hindutva people vandalize Christmas celebrations, but I don’t think that is the right thing to do and will only lead to a counter reaction. ⛪✝️🌻🛕🕉️
Religous conversions take place due to faultlines in our society, the most prominent ones being the caste idea and the rigid barriers of hierarchy. It
Dada, whenever I feel a downpour of presence from the top of my head, my lustful tendencies grow, and subsequently, I feel a blockage in descent and a great discomfort with some pain in my head. Even after repeated rejections, these suggestions of lust come even more strongly. How to reject them permanently, as I feel that I am just suppressing them. 🫥🦋
It takes time and one has to be very patient. Rejecting lustful thoughts is not enough. One needs to stay busy and do lot of
When sharing a tight space with my sibling, I end up fighting over minuscule things, such as when responsibilities are not shared equally or when she doesn’t keep the place neat and clean. I don’t want to get mentally affected by these things, but at the same time, I don’t want to take on the whole responsibility on behalf of both people. 👥[…]

Dear Alok, There is no being in the unreal and there is no being in the real. – In this Sloka, what is meant by bhavah? I feel the meaning is this: Truth will have some representation ( sense). Where illusion (asatah) never has any representation. So anything that anyway manifested is true, untrue can never manifest. Am I right? Please clear my understanding.
This shloka from the second chapter of the Srimadbhagawatgita implies that ‘whatever is true (sat) is permanent. It will always be there (bhav). Whereas that

Dear Dada, I want to know how to destroy the old and damaged photographs, blessings packets, messages, calendar, etc., of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Is there any specific writing of the Mother on this issue? 🖼️🌊
Somewhere i had read, possibly in Champaklal ji’s book that they are best submerged in water, in a river or sea.

I am struggling to choose the right life partner. There are two men in my life. One of them I have known for a long time, and I see that he is naturally drawn to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, guided by his own aspiration, and he walks this path from within. 👰🏼🔥[…]
Isn’t the choice obvious. The first person will join you in the psychic core, the second in the vital. These promises of changing do not
Regarding the Meditation question: I simply concentrate at Heart and above the Head. 🧘🏼♂️
Very good. Go deeper into it without worrying about the heat in the sole of the feet. It will get sorted out.

There is no exact number reported but around 200 to 300 against 12,000. Shiva ji took 300 with him.
Namaste Alok Da, first of all, thank you sincerely for your patience and generosity in answering questions. I am deeply grateful.
