After watching Death and Beyond TE 668 : What about those disciples who cannot reside there or die there?🧘🌳🪷♾️
Ashram is no more a geographical territory. From 1957, after the Supramental Manifestation, The Mother clearly described how the Ashram has extended to include all
As I am immersing myself on a daily basis into Savitri I was asking myself if I can also listen to it while at the office working or walking down the street? Normally I read it aloud in the evening and listen to it before sleeping. But i was wondering if I can also play in the background while at work in the office – while still being aware that it is most beneficial to listen to it with complete focus and a silent mind?🕊️🤍☀️📜♾️
Yes of course, the more one immerses oneself in the Divine Name, the Divine Vibrations, whether waking, sleeping, walking, exercising, resting, working, driving, the better
Alok Bhai, only you can resolve this confusion in my mind. During a discussion on a serious matter between Mother and Sri Aurobindo, it was decided that if necessary, he would leave his body, and Mother would stay here for the physical transformation, because her body was more capable of performing this task. After his passing, it seemed very difficult for Mother to stay here, and Pranab Da had to constantly look after her.After the discussion between the Lord and Mother, what was it that made it so difficult for her to stay here?☀️🪷👑👑🌌
I didn’t quite understand the difficulty. She is the Divine Mother, the Supreme Creatrix, ‘the Shakti of Sri Aurobindo’ as Sri Aurobindo as he himself
Alok, today the biggest menace is of drugs. Most of the young generation including children of class 7/8 are addicted. Could you please guide on this issue otherwise our country will be in great mess…🚫💉🙅♂️💊
I think I will have a talk on this subject, though I faintly remember one that was given in Auroville on this important subject. Meanwhile,
In each one’s life there comes a moment when he has to choose between path and muddle you cannot put one foot here and one there, if you try to you will be torn into pieces..A heart that does not choose is a heart that will die. Sir, Can you please speak more about this?🔀🗺️🧭🛣️
It means that, on the one side, there is the ordinary life with its ordinary aims, a life centered around our petty desires, gains and
In one of the video from online I came to understand the 4 aspects of the mother. Maheswari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. But in another there is a discussion about Ananda aspect of The Mother, which brings splendor of power and love and intensity of Divine joy unknown to the earth so far. Could you please elaborate little more on this aspect. Can we consider it as a fifth aspect of The Mother?🤱🌏🌌♾️
The four aspects of the Divine Mother mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in his wonderful book The Mother refers to the aspects that have so far
What does this mean? “This is indeed the note of Bengali literature and the one high thing it has gained from a close acquaintance with European models. The hideous grotesques of old Hindu Art, the monkey-rabble of Ram and the ten heads of Ravan, are henceforth impossible to it.”Sri Aurobindo has spoken highly of Valmiki’s aesthetics.. then what does this “hideous-grotesque” refer to here?🏹☀️🌳🐒
Here he is mainly referring to Bankim’s imagery in which Sri Aurobindo finds ‘beauty, terseness, strength and sweetness’. The hideousness is not about Valmiki’s Ramayana.
I could not understand completely the below portion of “A Dream” by Sri Aurobindo: “… that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit…My questions: 1) “…that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit”. What does this mean?📜✨🌌✍️
It means that observing the rules and rituals of religion, keeping fasts, visiting holy places mechanically does no good. It is merely useless dust. This
Sir is making a strict schedule and walking on the path taught by Maa can be done parallely? Is suppressing emotions or felling or desires is what in this path what should I do? Sir in military we have that much strict schedule one doesn’t even time to thought more about anything so will following schedule like military and walking on the path or Maa is possible 🧘⏰📝🏹
What do you mean by strict? Military discipline is enforced from outside. It doesn’t change the basic nature, only puts a near cover over it.
In B1C1 line no. 101 “The brief perpetual sign recurred above.” What does “Perpetual sign” mean?📜☀️🤍🕊️
Perpetual sign is the advent of Light in the form of dawn inviting us to the adventure of a new day. It is a sign
Is it necessary to meditate on the already present form of God in the universe. Can’t we create our own image of God in our heart and meditate in it without compromising the foundation of the sprituality?🛕🕯️🌌🙏
It is not the form but the faith one puts into the form and the spirit and aspiration with which one meditates that one gets
Did Sri Aurobindo give his own commentaries or notes for at least some topics of Savitri, any others, did he feel, its not necessary? If not, did he feel, its not necessary, that the reader should try to get it on their own like you? 📜📚✍️🔉
Sri Aurobindo did not have the time and he was not in the habit of explaining. He was mainly busy with his main work of
The material Universe is the outer body of the Lord created by the Divine Mother. And hence She is in it as well as holds it within Herself. Being one with the Supreme Lord the universe is indeed Her body as well as Her dress. The Mother herself has described it in one of her experiences. Is Not Purushasuktha same for Srimathe too? Doesn’t it glorify The Divine Mother too? 🌍🌌👑✨
Yes. Very much so. Sri Aurobindo confirms this in his book The Mother.
I think I’m emotionally dependent and scared of being alone. I still don’t fully understand what the future will look like — whether my family will move, whether Mom will be emotionally stable and how everything will unfold. When I see other families together and doing fine financially, it makes me restless about both of them. I feel afraid because I don’t know what they’ve decided, and I don’t know if the coming years will be okay for all of us😰💸🧾
I understand your worries. Human beings worry because they want the future to be shaped in a certain way. They try to foresee and plan
I worry about my family falling apart, my sister is deciding to shift her base and perhaps my mother might follow her, I fear that all of us will fall apart💔💥🏚️🫨
I understand your feelings and fears but then it is a fact of life we need to reckon with that nobody is there forever. Even
i see lot if restlessness yet lot of clarity in todays kids. Say between 10yrs to 20yrs the age group I work with.. This restlessness is what worries me at times, human relation in the name of crush, boyfriend, girl friend starts with physical intimacy than anything else, even before their emotions, physical and mind even understands what it is to get into a relationship? As fast as they go they come back and next day looking for another one.There are few who understand these and stepback but the seed must be there for them to understand what Mother and Gurudev said. How about others? Do we have to just look at all this as Gods play?📱🎧🎮🤳
It is indeed God’s play. Whose else it would be? Nothing happens in the individual and collective life without a deep purpose. But to understand
The most famous mahavakya of Chandogya Upanishad has two beautiful ideas clubbed together. Here is the verse and my rough translation, can you explain it please, 🧘♂️🌳📜🌊💧🕉️
This verse expresses two key ideas of upanishads: (1) that the entire universe is permeated by the One divine reality (Brahman), and (2) personal transformation/growth
I was watching your video and I had a question Da. Requesting you to let me know how to serve Maa and Sri Aurobindo?🙏🤲🌸🪷
First thing is to get the right understanding of Sri Aurobindo and his yoga. I would suggest that you read The Mother’s Collected Works and
