I come from a religious family and I grew up listening to religious books and seeing religious rituals. I could not relate to it and rebelled against it to find my own but after coming to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I see there is some truth in both paths. However, one question comes to me based on what I heard while listening to Puranas in childhood. Its said that there are Yugas which come one after the other and this cycle keeps going on.
