Today I had a dream that there were two cows, one brown and one white, which were eating plants at my uncle’s house. I saw this from my house and was going to drive them out. Just then, my other uncle’s son came and said it was very dangerous as they had harmed our grandmother when she tried to get them out. I suggested that we both try together. So, we went towards them and saw that the white cow transformed into a very bright and large man who was very tall and heavy. I told my uncle’s son to hit it on the head, but he couldn’t. He started to hit it, and when the man saw me, I had something in my hand, and I hit him with it. He started chasing me, and I ran away from there. What does this dream signify🤔?
Cows are always good. They are forces of light, the white is some aspect of Her Light while the grey is Light mixed with the
What physical exercises do you recommend best suited for yoga? My father insists on joining gym💪. Is it right?
The physical exercises should be chosen according to one’s inbuilt stamina, the physique and the purpose for which one wants to undertake them. If one
My in-laws have strong opinions and a dominant voice. At times, their energy impacts me deeply. How can I stop being affected by them so much? Right now, we are living away from them due to work. But in the future, if we have to live together, it scares me😱. In their presence, I feel there is no room for self-expression or choice. [conti]
Practice inwardness and be an impartial indifferent witness to all that is going on within and outside. Practice equanimity and most important of all, inner
I noticed two parts within me — one is a child, sitting quietly in the Matrimandir, and the other is an adult. I’ve been observing🤔 how these two parts respond differently to life.
Listen to the child at the Mother’s Feet. It will lead you to the right way towards harmony. True Harmony comes by growing in the
How can I find my soul 🌟 and live with it?
here are plenty of writings and talks on this subject available on Auromaa. But in brief, the most important thing is to truly want it,
I am a 70-year-old religious man and I regularly watch and read your talks and answers. I don’t know why, but I find all your responses related to rituals and worship very rigid. According to you, these things don’t hold much importance, perhaps because they are not emphasized in your favorite text, the Gita. Step out of your air-conditioned drawing room and comfortable environment—only then will you understand the importance of worship and rituals, which are for common people who struggle daily even for basic needs😳.

But who is saying that one ‘should not do’ Pooja and rituals if one wants to or is naturally interested and attracted towards them? All
I need to take a decision ,(about winding up my small bakery business) I was confused, I was in fear😱, I was asking for help, that am I doing a right thing ? Shall I do it? Kept writing letters to mother, my one part was clinging and one part was rigid and in fear so my question is : how will I be able to hear to mothers guidance cz in between all this happenings of my mind and body I wasn’t able to understand the link between me and mother. How will I understand if she is stopping me or giving me a green flag? Please put some light on it Dada.
The question one has to ask is not whether one should do this or that but why does one want to do it. If one
In Book One Canto Five, Aswapati saw ‘a golden ladder carrying the soul🔥, / Tying with diamond threads the Spirit’s extremes. In Book Two, Canto One the world stair is discussed in detail. 1) Is this stair the same as the golden ladder, one that connects the Inconscience to Superconscience?
Yes it is the supramental link that connects the One to the Many, the Creation to the Creator….
I am 29 year old. From the very early childhood l am so attracted towards traditional spirituality, After joining society, Maa is so merciful to me and I can feel the guidance of her intuitively, the way serious of events happen. But last month I visited Ramkrishna mission, now the childhood attraction is arising again. I want to give myself totally in divine hands and wanted to join as brahmchari there, which can further led to sannyasi. The way I visited there is also dramatically , like mother wanted me to experience that🫤. Then I prayed to mother to show the path ,what to do and just open the post (book Supreme) mother say there …[conti]
It is a genuine feeling, a truth energing from the past life. It is neither a vital being guiding you nor any hallucination. It is
I have been reading the Human Cycle by Sri Aurobindo and getting very inspired by his references to the old European civilisations. I am at a cross-road where I have to choose a field of study. Society, parents tell me I should choose something practical — finance, economics, business? But I have set my mind on going into Ancient history. I want to do it because of the knowledge alone. I have been criticised for it because I may be taking an unsafe road. All this feedback from others makes me doubt myself. I sometimes feel like I am being irresponsible, and sometimes that is why I no longer want to open up to people due to these social pressures. I have no way of knowing the future, what is has in store for me. Is education for the sake of knowledge itself dead? Is servile education really the spirit of this age🤔?
There is a reason why the future is hidden from us. It is so that instead of making a choice based on outer gains and
Have the seven pheras 🔥become outdated? Can we add or reduce the number according to modern times?
Their essence which is basically the promise and commitment of togetherness based on love and trust has to be kept. The ritual has little meaning
Congratulations to you and your team, Sir: “The purpose is to raise one’s vibrations through worship, faith and devotion that match the frequency of the Goddess in order to receive her grace” Request your comments on this sentence🙂.
Matching the Grace? Human effort, however great, even the greatest tapasya by the greatest of seers and sages is nothing compared to the immensity of
Someone asked me, “Give me a solid reason why it is necessary for a human being to know that he is a soul and how it will help him in leading a peaceful life” According to this person when he tried for it his entire life turned into chaos and grief” Your answer please🤨.
I don’t know what this person tried but if his life turned topsy turvy and hence he abandoned the pursuit then it means that he
Sometimes I wish I was driven by a mad vital desire for self improvement, physical fitness, and getting into high income high skilled job. This would have driven me to exceed myself in these areas, whereas now, in the absence of these desires, and also in the absence of the psychic fire to prepare the instrument for the sake of the divine, I find myself utterly incapable driving myself to work on becoming better than what I am right now 🫤
Well desire is certainly better than tamasic inertia, but it need not be a mad desire. Desire restrained by the sattwic mind, a discerning reason,
Some people identify as atheists — they don’t believe in God or any higher power, yet they strongly believe in the value of hard work, discipline, and ethical living. They focus on doing their work and trust that consistent effort will eventually bring good results, more and more money. Interestingly, such individuals tend to be quite successful in life outwardly. What are your thoughts in this? What is the fundamental difference in the way a theist and an atheist live their lives🤔?
Success comes wherever there is sincerity and effort. It has nothing to do with our inner or outer beliefs. I have seen genuine, sincere workers,
On training the will power. Mother says that will power is trained by using it. I am a very systematic person and would like to take a systematic approach to everything I do. I try to become conscious of myself and apply my will whenever possible but the trouble is that it takes a long time to become conscious of what needs to be done. Can you give some general guidelines on how one can take a systematic approach to this training of the will? Something in me has a deep necessity of developing this will, all I need is the right approach where I can measure the results and see the progress in a tangible form. If you can be very specific, it would be really helpful🤨
It is desires and impatience that weaken the will, especially the sense of urgency to gratify an impulse.
By not acting impulsively, by postponing
Had a dream where I reached the peak of mountain Everest. It felt very special, but I don’t see any correspondence between the dream and events in my life 😳
Mount Everest represents the ascent of the physical consciousness to the summits. These dreams indicate events taking place in the inner being and often one
Dear Sir, if possible for you kindly tell us about concept of “Spanda” in Kashmiri Shaivism🤔.
Spanda in kashmir Shaivism refers to the power of Vibration (spandana) inherent in the Supreme Reality. It is the Shakti, the dynamic power held back
