I was inspired by your suggestion to do digital and social detox as part of realigning with my inner guidance. Right now, I am not able to move much as I am on crutches, and I don’t really gave anywhere to go to apart from my room and the small garden. I want to do at least one day of digital detox. What is the best way to spend my time during this experience, given my confinement to my room?

Listen to music, read, reflect, write with paper and pen, learn something new such as painting or piano or flute, astrology, think, pray, meditate, many

I have faced failure in 4-5 relationships with women, and it always feels like, in the end, they find a reason to leave me. Despite my efforts to make things work, this recurring pattern has left me deeply hurt, alone, and emotionally broken. There are times when the loneliness becomes unbearable, and I can’t help but wonder if there’s something inherently wrong with me, if I’m destined to face these struggles in relationships, or if I am meant to remain single forever😪.

It is difficult to comment on personal aspects. But man-woman relationship is a science as well as an art, especially a capacity to feel the

In a very famous ashram in south India, I noticed that Shiva is worshipped mainly with dhyan and yog sadhana while the same of Devi Linga Bhairavi is performed with all rituals and different types of seva.

Please explain Prakriti in simple words. Mainly the distinction of Lower & Higher Prakriti. I tried a few articles available in Auromaa.org on this subject but could not get a clear understanding. Can we simply say that all the nurturing forces of life like love, wisdom, strength, prosperity etc in the universe constitute Higher Prakriti and hindering forces like ignorance, laziness, lust, anger, unchecked desires etc fall under Lower Prakriti? Is higher prakriti the same as Parvati & Radha to whom we worship🤨?

Prakriti is the executing force that does everything according to the wisdom and power or the secret intelligence hidden in her. This is self evident.

I am easily affected by others opinions and suggestions. For example if someone tells me one thing I start believing that but if someone else tells me something quite opposite of that I start doubting the first one. How to develop my own individuality in which I can take my own decisions (after listening to all) even if it appears wrong to others🤷‍♀️?

Yes one must develop individuality by taking the charge of life in one’s own hands. We are often afraid to do so partly because we

Many people ask me why I don’t enjoy life the way others do. I don’t smoke, drink, party, or dance. Instead, I prefer spending time alone, sitting by the beach🌊 or in the mountains🏔️, and reading the works of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Some even say, “Why spend your whole day immersed in spirituality? Enjoy life a little!” They tell me I can focus on such things when I’m 60. But is there really an age for this?

People have a very limited idea of enjoyment and even more limited idea of spirituality. Personally I feel the joy of being alone, with oneself
