In one of your talks you mentioned that feminism is not aping men, so can you share What is true feminism 👩 as I feel women have a wrong concept of it as they seem to be in competition with men and I feel this is causing problems with the balance of the world?
Men and women represent two aspects of One Reality, passive and dynamic, ideative and pragmatic. They are equal in their differences and different in their
I have a difficulty in understanding the modifications of Panchmahabhoots. I could understand vibration in Akashtattva led to Agnitattva. The next modification from Agnitattva – containing only heat to element containing totally opposite in quality i.e. Jalatattva is difficult to understand. In between are there any stages of converting/producing totally different element with an intention to produce a rigid tattva i.e. Prithvi tattva 🌍?
Akash tattva is an endless expansion created by the waves or vibrations emanating from Nada. But this endless expansion can create Space but not forms
In earlier time I was feeling devotion, faith, gratitude and surrender to The Mother. My mind was constantly remembering her. But now that isn’t happening. Mind is creating doubt, vital being feel restless, a lot of ambition and sexual desire arises and they give pain in my lower abdominal part. I see that doubt and desire coming from outside constantly and with offering it also coming. Now I feel that this is not the problem of my nature and and other, it is the whole universal problem. What should our right attitude to passes through this stages. And how long the battle will occur and what is the next thing will happen after this stages 🙄?
These things or rather this phase comes to every sadhak especially if one has taken to the Yoga at a young age when the vital
Why do we need Shiva 🌙 (Godhead) & Shakti (Energy) both to explain the creation? Why can’t it be done only through the concept of Shakti (Energy)?
Creation implies a dynamic process. That is Shakti. In the western world the term is nature. It is true that in itself Shakti explains everything.
How will one counter atheism? What is the reply 😏 to ”Jo dikhta hai wahi hota hai”.
It is well recognised even by scientists that evidence of senses is no evidence. There are plenty of things that escape the senses due to
Recently, I had a dream 😴 There was a very clean beautiful, big, old temple (Indian style) where some humans were staying, taking care of the temple. Suddenly, one day, tall, dark, strong people from far away lands came, fought to conquer the temple. They were hugely strong, slender, tall with pitch black skin carrying maces with thorns (all black). They were the most uniformly colored people I have seen ever, uniform black throughout the body. To me, they looked like well-looking, well-built rakshashas. A fight was scheduled, and the caretakers didn’t seem to mind much. They were willing to fight but they were not matched with the black people. The black people were all sitting on the trees around the temple and the leader was explaining their terms to the caretaker leader. While the fight was being prepared, I managed to divert their daughter of the caretakers and secretly took her away in a bus without anyone knowing, maybe the mother came with us too. I was more like a power telling her what to do, I was not physically on the scene. The daughter was crying but escaped. It seemed like the black people were arguing to get the daughter from the family if the conquering of the temple were to be successful. That’s the reason why I told the daughter to escape, however I didn’t have power to protect the temple. It seemed like this dream was happening in my physical body. Does this mean some health issues?
This is an amazing archetypal dream with very clear symbolic meaning. The temple is your heart, the caretakers are the positive godlike energies and forces.
I know supramental has come but when will the supramental body 🕺 come?
As the Mother and Sri Aurobindo said, wait for few hundred years, may be 300 years. Right now the work of preparing the human consciousness
Was Rama 🏹 really an Aavtar, he could be called a great king, might have some exceptional qualities of a seer but its very hard for me to belive that he was an avatar as he had so many weaknesses , can he be relevant after 10,000 years? can you put light to this doubt of mine?
This can be very clearly seen in the Ramayana if we care to find. But a word of caution is needed. We should be careful
Why in India even today after 10,000 years people talk about Ramayana and they still worship Rama 🏹 as a God? What is Ramayana a story about?

Sir, I have been practicing Gayatri Sadhana🙏 for many years. From my understanding, the Goddess Gayatri is a unified form of Saraswati (Hrim), Lakshmi (Shrim), and Kali or Durga (Klim). By practicing their worship, the Goddess grants her devotees good intellect, prosperity, and strength. She also inspires devotees towards the four goals of life—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Is my understanding correct? In some of your answers, you mentioned that each deity has different powers, and the achievements gained from their worship correspond to those specific powers. So, is my understanding of Maa Gayatri correct? Please help resolve my doubts.
Gayatri devi is associated with a type of metre or rhythm. She is considered to be a manifestation of goddess Saraswati who has set into
Ravana being a Shiv bhakta and an intelligent king can we say that he was a good man but took over by the possession of Sita🤔?
Well we cannot totally justify with Ravana as here he represents the retrogressive movement in nature. He wants to undo what has been done through
I read in auromaa about the Divine – “Make Him your friend 🥰, your permanent friend and partner of life and see how all loneliness will go”. My question – Does this truth requires a certain spiritual preparation? Because I don’t feel it in my present condition?
It is not a question of feeling but of taking a certain attitude, of a kind of relation one seeks to form with the Divine

Please explain science of Mantra. Are Vedic mantras like Gayatri & Mritianjay and Tantrik mantras like Beeja mantras different in their effect? If yes then How? It is said that mantra japa is the best way available for an average sadhaka to contact various divine energies for worldly as well as spiritual progress🙂.
Mantra is highest rhythm of intensity and power to which human speech can be raised. The Vedic Science regards the world as being built by
Why some people call Rama misogynist?
Those who call Rama a misogynist have surely not read the Ramayana. To call a person misogynist who thinks several times before shooting an arrow
“Ek Ram 🏹Dasharath ka beta, Ek Ram ghat ghat mein leta, Ek Ram hai jagat pasara, Ek Ram 🏹hai jagat se nyaara,” What does this mean?

Today in the afternoon I was making my son rest and we were listening to the guided meditation, I was conscious but as if a black out, like not sleeping but not awake. Both my palms were open, I felt heat and strong vibrations in the palms and in the blackout I saw a golden star, shape of Sri Aurobindo’s symbol but just the star⭐ then I woke up with a jerk, What happened?
It is an authentic experience of contact with the Mother’s Force giving a glimpse of Sri Aurobindo as the…
When I came to the line where you say, ” Swar Lak ☀ is in the higher planes of mind…”, it was like a light bulb came on in my mind. It was like I was thinking about my soul going somewhere as if in sky somewhere. And now all of a sudden I realized that oh, Swarg (swar Lok ) in inside me, my soul. I just have to evolve so much my conscious level so much that I realize that. Am I right?
Yes absolutely so. Our souls need to ascend to higher and higher states of consciousness. Each time this happens we gain a better vantage point
