Dear Alok da, For the last 2 months I have been having dreams of Siddha Yoga Sadhaks and the dreams are symbolic like a Sadhak is giving orders to someone like a king, someone who shows more emotions from outside but from inside bows down to the Guru as a formality! How should these dreams be understood? ๐ญ๐ง๐๐ป […]
Yes it is never helpful to see the real or unreal defects of anyone, let alone sadhaks. Human nature is too complex and each one
Can you comment on this Cockroach Janata Party that has recently been started? ๐ชณ๐ณ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ณ
On another note about the new ‘Cockroach party’ the lesser said the better. If I am not mistaken the idea is clearly borrowed from Franz
Dear Alok da, I am getting very bored this summer vacation. Then I get irritated and angry and see a lot of phone. What do I do? Please help me! ๐๐คณ๐ป๐ชด
Seeing phone makes us lose concentration and opens doors to even more agitation. Instead put down the phone and open your mind and heart to
Dada, by the Divine Mother’s grace, I had a spontaneous experience. When I was lying on the bed, then I experience a strong wideness and peace that drew my whole body towards it, it seems my existence has been gone. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐๐๐ป๐ผ[…]
It is a true and genuine experience, a beautiful gift of Her Grace. Keep offering these experiences and the doubts and the work, everything to
Administering medicine to my 1-year-old daughter is a challenge. She was underweight according to Australian standards and had a low appetite, so the doctor has suggested iron and multivitamin drops, which she absolutely despises. Initially, I would give them forcefully and we would both end up in tears. ๐ถ๐ป๐ฉธ๐ฅ๐๐ป๐ผ[…]

Is the Mother referring to the soul (Psychic Being) in the quote below? – ‘I am your true mother who will give birth in you to the true being, the being who is free, peaceful, strong and happy always, independently of all circumstances.’ ๐ฅ๐ชท
Yes it refers to the soul which knows itself as the child of the Divine Mother.
I had another question in this question and you did not answer it. (And how can we connect with Param Maa and surrender to her during such an activity and can we experience her as beloved? If we experience her as beloved, then what should be my feeling at that time and in what feeling should I feel myself?) ๐๐๐ป๐ธ๐ฆ
The idea of sex as being related to the Beloved is a misrepresentation of the idea of physical union as the ultimate expression of love.
Two months ago I had a very strange dream. When I left for home from my nearby city, I saw a bull and a cow calf and they called me to them. Then the bull asked me to put my hand inside its mouth. My friend refused, but I put it in. ๐ญ๐๐๐ซ[…]
It is again a deeply symbolic dream. The bull is spiritual Strength and the calf is the spiritual Light. Your cousin is afraid but you
Sri Aurobindo says at one place that the Sri Krishna who united with him in 1926 was from Kurukshetra. So, is there no difference now between Sri Krishna of Dwarka and Sri Aurobindo? ๐๐๐ป๐ชท๐ฆ
They are different aspects of the same Krishna like different aspects of the same Shiva. Hanuman ji for example embodied the Rudra aspect of Shiva
Can you please guide me on how to proceed ahead to read Sri Maa’s and Sri Aurobindo’s work. I have read it in bits and pieces. ๐๐๐๐ป๐ชท
I generally advice reading Sri Aurobindoโs Letters on Yoga, few letters at a time each day. It gives the needed intellectual understanding of higher and
Can you explain the dream: I was on a scooter on a deserted wheatish barren land with scanty shrubs and a few buildings. There were two roads and on the straight one where I was, my previous roommate was there, saying Go away; it’s not safe here. Donโt come. I get alarmed and I look around. ๐ญ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐[…]
It is a clear indication to stay a little away from these two persons who in some way are open to wrong forces. When in
“God is our wise and perfect friend, because he knows when to smite and when to fondle, when to slay us no less than when to save and to succour…. There must be faith in the love and wisdom of God,… working out all for our good even when it is apparently veiled in evil.” (Sri Aurobindo, 1984 Ashram Diary, July 3 and August 22) ๐๐๐ป๐ผ[…]
It is true that we live in a universe where Ignorance predominates. Yet the Divine Force always supercedes it using every experience, good and bad,

Alok da, I’ve been reading the message that you gave me and the Mother’s message as well, repeatedly; it soothes me and calms me down. But lately I feel so blinded and clouded by my thoughts and emotions that I’m not able to make the right decision, act in the right manner, and see things clearly. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐ฆ[…]
You don’t need to join an Ashram to end this suffering which is primarily due to a gross mismatch between mutual expectations. Not going into
I’m facing a peculiar problem. My father-in-law, who is 87 years old, is fond of watching sex videos. Since he is hard of hearing, he plays those videos loudly. There were a number of times when we took his mobile and formatted it. But every time, he himself installed those sites and watched those videos.ย ๐ด๐ป๐ฑ๐ฆ๐[…]

Namaskam Alok Da, a few days back I had written to you about my mother being in palliative care. She passed away 3 days ago. Right now, as I grieve, I keep reminding myself to shift my attention to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo and say the mantra. ๐ต๐ป๐ฅ๐ฃ๐[…]
