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.Β
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.

How are you? Hope you are well. I was listening to your speech of Aim of Life this morning. In the speech, you said Sri Maa and Sri Aurobindo advised some people who could not meditate to still try meditation and others to carry on with work. πβ€οΈβπ₯πͺ·[…]
Sometimes a life is one of preparation. There are lives when we are beginning to take the turn towards the Light. Out of the dense

If I would like to serve in the Ashram as a Volunteer, what do I need to do or whom should I talk to? There isn’t any information about it anywhere on the Website. π¦π₯πΌ[…]

So, I’ve been working on figuring out how to carry out lake restoration of Dal Lake using metagenomics, and I feel like it’s very expensive, interesting, but it’s not interesting to me. Sir says it’ll be a novel work and I tried to read it. But I’m not intrigued or feel it apart from the fact that it is a good chance to see what’s beneath the surface. π£πΌπ
To start with whoever wants to send you to Dal lake does not know the ground situation there. Asked him if he has visited Srinagar

Dearest Alok Da, a question concerning the lines in Savitri. These lines describe Death’s appearance: “Half-seen in clouds appeared a sombre face; Nightβs dusk tiara was his matted hair, The ashes of the pyre his foreheadβs sign.” (pg.595) – Is this a description of Lord Shiva? Is it Lord Shiva, or even Lord Yama, who is appearing as Death? Because matted hair and ashes on the forehead are worn by Lord Shiva and Lord Yama. ππ»πΌ
He stood in silence and in darkness wrapped,
A figure motionless, a shadow vague,
Girt with the terrors of his secret sword….

I had some suspicions regarding Advaita Vedanta and wanted to clear that up. The philosophy or the sect of Advaita Vedanta seems to be quite a problematic philosophical school, sometimes even a tool of the Asura. Or at least an Asura used by the divine to utterly break the old moulds of Bharat. π₯[…]
I very much share your insight. Adwait Vedanta, for that matter all the different schools of Vedanta err by taking one particular realisation to be

Dada, please tell if the following is a sign that he is an obstacle to the path of Yoga? Why does it happen every time I am being approached by my romantic partner close enough with the intention of lovemaking or simply touching or being simply romantic, I feel a strong response of blackout (momentary loss of consciousness) and feel withdrawn with respect to consciousness. π¨π»ββ€οΈβπ©π»πΉπ΅βπ«
It is not because he or anybody is an obstacle. All obstacles are within us. Normally our physical body and biology are hardwired to respond

I sometimes feel deep guilt or sadness about my past relationships. A few men in my life chose not to marry after our relationships ended and have said that they would only have married me. I am now happily married to someone else, but I sometimes wonder whether my presence in their lives prevented them from moving on, finding love, or living life fully. I am no longer in contact with them, but I hear these things through mutual friends. π₯πΉ[…]
The decision to get married or live with someone is a serious one, especially marraige. It cannot be taken based on promises made during a

Alok Da, I have been having clear dreams for the last few days. My wife, who is pregnant, was feeding milk to the lion’s babies. I brought the milk from somewhere. And when I asked her to come closer, my wife refused and said not to come inside, the lion can attack. Sometimes in dreams, my breathing stops, but I feel alive. And in my entire life, I never gone through this kind of clear dream. π€±πΌπΌπΌπ¦
The child in your wife’s womb seems to be a special soul. Is she on some path or has an Ista devata? The sense of

I’m under a lot of pressure to get married. I feel very, very, very lost. My parents have passed on a few contacts, and I have been talking to those guys. There is nothing wrong with these guys – in fact, they’re quite kind, mature, understanding and qualified, and one of them has a good depth of thought process and they are very interested in me. π§π»βπ€βπ©π»πΉπ«[…]
I think you are mixing several things, especially two very different things. The first and most important is what you should do with your life.

Pranam Alok Da. Mentally, I find Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to be complete in all aspects. Still, during meditation, I find it easier to meditate on Sri Ramakrishna than Sri Aurobindo or the Mother. Maybe I find Sri Ramakrishna more approachable when reading the gospel, and I see Sri Aurobindo as God, too tall, as described in Savitri, where some people find Savitri too high! Does it affect my yoga, or is it okay to continue like this? πππ»πͺ·
Yoga doesn’t move along one fixed line valid for all. The inherent complexity of nature and the vastness of the Divine Consciousness cannot be straight

Why does it happen that every time I am being approached by my romantic partner close enough, with the intention of lovemaking or simply touching or being simply romantic, I feel a strong response of blackout(momentary loss of consciousness) and feel withdrawn with respect to consciousness. Is it a sign that he is an obstacle to the path of Yoga? π¨π»ββ€οΈβπ©π»πΉπ΅βπ«
It is rather a good sign, the sign of an evolved person. There is nothing wrong with your partner or with you. It is just

I turned 25, thirteen days ago. I still live with my parents. I’m tired of it, and I am trying to be patient, but sometimes it feels like I’m losing my mind. I’m being a narcissistic brat, I know, but I can’t help it. π«π₯π¦ππΌ[…]
Leave aside parents, what is important is what we are doing with our life. If we are clear about our goal and what we truly

Whenever I get nervous, my hands start trembling. It is actually extremely embarrassing for me as a guy because I may come across as a coward. It also happens when I do intense exercise. Can you explain the reason for this? I started to take Magnesium B6, as it is said to help. ππΌπ°[…]
Pranayama, simple nadi shuddhi pranayama, along with asanas and meditation prepare the ground for the development.

Is the transition from the last Kaliyuga to Satyuga explained, or are some signs that appeared given in our Vedic Literature? The current Kaliyuga is coming to an end and a new Satyuga is starting. My question is in this context. πππ€
The transition from Kaliyuga to Satyuga is given in the Puranas, especially the Matsya, Vishnu and Bhagawat Puranas as well as the much later Bhavishya

Think of it this way. A sculptor is moulding the material of which we are made. He wants to mould it into a beautiful image.
