We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask.
This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.
The holy Relics of Sri Aurobindo have been kept in the Samadhis/ Shrines, which are established at different places. Why have the relics of the Mother not been kept in the Samadhis? 📿⛪[…]
It is the Mother who gave the sacred divine Relics of Sri Aurobindo. Later when the Mother withdrew nobody could take the decision on the
What is the Only Goal of Human Birth? Wherever he is born and whatever he may be… As I read the great works of the great Acharyas and the great Teachers of Spirituality, everything appeals to me as the Truth, and even their mode of Sadhana. 🦚[…]
It is perfectly fine to follow your inmost nature which, at this point, seems to take you through a process of inner intellectual widening. It
I work in a Brain Injury Unit. I see patients who are Unconscious for years and years together. I always wonder if they are Conscious of their surroundings. Why are their soul locked inside? Do they still have Vital? 🏥😳
Actually there are different kinds among these. There are those whose souls are very much intact and even growing through the experiences in the inner
I don’t want to get married, but my single mother wants me to get married. I do want to get a job, but unable to get any. I don’t want to hurt my mother, but I know that I can’t handle married life. 😭[…]
One should not get married just to satisfy and fulfil parent’s wishes. One should instead address their worries by showing them that you are a
I didn’t find any article on ‘transgender people’ by Sri Aurobindo on Google. Sri Aurobindo covered all human & social problems & also gave the solution. If one follows his direction, one would definitely come out of any painful situation.🌹[…]
In every field and domain Nature creates what we call as ‘anomalies’, things that deviate from the norm. But if one looks closely these anomalies
Alok Da, this is probably the silliest question I have asked, but in the poem Ahana, they tell the Goddess of Dawn about Earth, they tell her Come and see this delight… Who are ‘they’? 😐
The voices that are calling Ahana are the sensuous mortals (humanity seeking for transient joys) and the seekers of light and knowledge.
When I sit for Meditation, concentrating on the over mind – I feel a bright luminous Grace over me, like a waterfall, and I am standing beneath it. I feel as if my face, especially the upper part of my face, is glowing from Within. 🧘🏼♂️[…]
The descent of Light is generally and for a long time in the head region. Later it descends below if there is an opening of
I happened to get in touch with a few Ashram School’s teachers recently. I found them so simple with lots of love for the Mother, but they hadn’t necessarily read Their works. Earlier, I assumed that people come to work in the Mother’s School because they know Them, have read Them and are interested in Their way of Schooling. […]👨🏼🏫🏫
There is no such inner or outer rule and it is best not to assume the reasons as to why people come. Each has a
I wanted to ask you: ‘What is Sanatan Dharma?’. 🌄
‘I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Srikrishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do
A couple of days back, I had a horrifying dream. I saw at the main door of my home some mischievous adolescents standing. I got a feeling that they were malevolent and would try to enter my home. 👹🏚️[…]
The dream means an attempt by the forces of the vital world to return as they were during your adolescence. There are however benevolent powers
Alok Da, When I introspect into myself in what’s lacking, what seems to be lacking is the Will and when I read Bande Mataram, – Sri Aurobindo shows what kind of granite Will that ‘March of History’ demand from Men and Nations and what happens when it’s lacking, In Yogic Sadhan (from Record of yoga), he writes Will and Shakti are the first thing needed and how far can it go in the actions of Vibuthi and the Avatar. 🔥🦚[…]
Yes the will is the most important element for success in any endeavour. It can be developed as we develop the muscles by training and
What is voidness, blankness? How are these different from Inertia? In emptiness vital becomes restless to fill it up with some ordinary activities, then how to handle the vital and become peaceful?🌿
There are two kinds of void experiences. The higher is full of Peace and inner strength and joy. The other is its shadow from the
Respected Dada, Namaste. At one point in time, it seemed like Sadhana was going on well, Aspirations were high, and Surrender was there (may not be an integral one though). Some weaknesses in nature resurfaced like jealousy, sex impulse slowly and then vehemently afterwards. 🦋[…]
These phases come in every sadhak’s life. They have to be endured as the purificatory process. If one remains steadfast in faith and aspiration they
I had the habit of masturbation, which I have stopped for quite a few days. But lustful lower vital suggestions still come to me. I am thinking that if I can express that Vital energy in some higher form, then maybe I may be completely free from it. 😓[…]
One should stay busy and do vigorous physical exercises to channelise the sexual energies. Also cultivating the artistic side or developing hobbies such as painting,
I am writing daily one prayer from Mother’s Vol. 1 and one page from Savitri. Some of my old copies are getting torn or getting wet, and the words are not clear. What should I do with those old copies? ✍🏼
Beautiful. You can, after some time, say an year or so dispose them in a flowing stream or river.
I have a question regarding the evil eye for babies and kids. Usually in India, there is a saying in almost every society that babies and kids are easily susceptible to ‘Nazar Lagana’, either bad or good, so people do some rituals to ward off such things. 🫣[…]
The eyes are not only organs that receive the sensory impacts but also organs of extramission, that is to say, organs that in some way
I came across the following statement: “It is not our intellectual ideas that govern our action, but our nature and temperament, — but mati or even manyu, or, as the Greeks would have said, thumos and not nous.” 🌄[…]
It is true that will, ‘dhriti’ and not just ‘mati’ is of greater importance. But it is not either-or. Man needs both. The intellect must
Alok Da, can you please explain your answer today on: Diseases and Cures in more detail? Especially, 1) Openness and Receptivity of the Patient. 2) The Soul’s choice. 3) The present imperfection of our bodily life. 🙂🌻
Human beings are a combination of body, life and mind. And behind it all the secret soul. In other words there are at least four
