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.Â
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.
It is really unfortunate that you are equating the insistence by aging in-laws or parents for wearing sindoor with the practice of hijab & snatching away the girl’s right to education. While the former is not causing any real harm to the women, the later ones are affecting her confidence and restricting growth respectively. This is precisely why I said you were overreacting…[…]
I understand your point about hurting parents etc. But don’t you think the parents too need to also understand the generational shift which is part
How can I definitively cure my chronic illness of ingratitude? How to grow so that this is actualised in us – “we may never forget even for a moment all that we owe to Thee” – the gratitude towards the Divine. And what helps in becoming more grateful towards the humans, animals, trees, flowers, nature around us? 🌱
To feel this way is itself such a rare and beautiful movement. Most human beings simply keep a transactional relation with the Divine. They ask
I do understand the process of transformation is necessary but still my soul has this burning aspiration to be one with the DIVINE, the End Result… 🤗
Beautiful. Union with the Divine is the first step without which all talk about transformation is meaningless.
Why do we sneeze? 🤧
Sneezing is an act to clear the nose of things that may be harmful or irritant to us.
It seems that in your overreaction you have turned this harmless practice of sindoor, mangalsutra etc into something extremely evil. Well, I rest my case here by reminding you that even your beloved Sri Krishna also encouraged the Pandavas to compromise by accepting five villages to establish peace.
Are you sure you are not reading an overreaction because my views are different from yours? Don’t you see the paradox that I responded to
I’ve been watching some amazing videos with Oz Pearlman the mind-reader, which is incredibly fascinating. I am wondering if this is something that one can learn on one’s own. Can you recommend any materials for learning this skill? I imagine it can be incredibly useful in many areas of one’s life😇.
It is a kind of occult power that some have from birth and develop it with practice.
Others do it through a kind of occult
My sister has recently been admitted to a medical college, but she is always unable to control her emotions. She has been sent to hostels twice earlier and she came back both times to home. Again she is caught in the same situation, crying over phone very much and not able to listen to any advice.😥[…]
Meditation may be difficult for her in this unstable state. She should get busy with the studies and do some deep breathing as well as
Why has the popularity of Khatti Shyam ji grown too much in the recent years, people call him Krishna of kaliyuga? But isn’t Krishna just Krishna, why would be a different version of him in kaliyuga? What exactly is the presence in Khattu?
The reason for popularity is always the same. It is the vital forces that attract persons either through lure and dazzling miracles. The very fact
I have read somewhere that the Mother said the souls who are called for integral yoga are themselves asked for it in past lives, and by calling these souls in the path of yoga, they have kept their promise. How come all the souls on Earth are associated with Mother and Sri Aurobindo in their past lives?🤔[…]
Questions are never silly. In fact this is a very appropriate question. Actually the misunderstanding arises due to a mixing up of three different statements
Dear Alok da, When was the picture of the Mother taken that is in the All India Magazine of October 2025. Here is a link to the picture for reference
According to one source, it is taken on 13 February 1957. I was not able to independently confirm it, though.
Sir, who are called in the path of integral yoga? If the establishment of life divine is the goal of integral yoga, will eventually every soul on the earth be called for this yoga in their future lifetime, to make possible the evolution of entire humanity?
Yes this Yoga is meant for the earth and the whole of humanity is bound to be impacted by it. But not all are ready
Your today’s answer on Traditions shows how immature you people are. If she becomes even more stubborn, inspired by your response, what will the atmosphere be like in her home? Why don’t you teach or show a middle path? If she wears these things out of respect when she’s around her in-laws, what’s the harm? Change is bound to come from the next generation anyway, so why the rush? why not let today’s generation be a little more flexible in such emotional issues and prevent families from breaking apart?
The basis of holding families together should be mutual respect and love, acceptance of generational and other differences, above all truth that allows each individual
Dada, please say what is my aim🤔?
Each one has to find their own aim. The smaller the aim, the lesser the effort needed but also lesser the joy of life. Those
Pranam Alokji, can you please kindly explain to me this —- The sign that I am in contact with Perfect God is that there is  nothing in my life about which I will complain!. Even in human relationships we see that a mother will not allow the child to jump from heights which it can not manage…and she permits simply because a child keeps on asking and afterwards saying to child that see it was you who asked for it..Such things happen only when they are out of control of human mother. But with devine mother you say nothing is out of her control. So in perfect love (as you understand God to be) what should happen that God by his power of oneness and devine love should share God,’s devine insights to the devotee so that devotee will not ask fo such things…🤨
To do what you say is an equivalent of creating automatons, a perfect faultless humanity, robotic and exact and artificial and false driven by AI
Is Sri Aurobindo a God like Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu or a Teacher or a Philosopher to whom we can worship him as a Gurudev. If he is a God, then please explain to me why we should consider him as a God. Please answer me I’m in a big confusion😖…
Sri Aurobindo is a Guru because he shows us the path to freedom from Ignorance. His teaching liberates us from the confusions born from the
Sometimes I tend to listen to crude-course, often vitally stimulating music 🎶such as bollywood dance music or similar dance video, I start having a sharp headache. Why does that happen?
It happens because you are sensitive to the difference between the notes of music and can feel their effects in the very body. Music and
Is the information and knowledge the same or different? Why do I ask you, In my daily work, I encounter a few people who are well educated, informative, and have the information about what is going on around the world, They talk about the Gita, Veda but for any event, they have a negative approach, and there are few people, the society called the illiterate, but have the faith on god, do there work very sensually, always have a positive approach to the life. It seems they are happy with what they have. So I ask this🤔?
Information is the data we gather through the senses. Knowledge comes when we process the data applying buddhi to what we have read or heard
Sir this Chaturvarna secured us an order, but got distorted incourse of time. But now all freedom is also distorted, then what should be the foundation of order??
Anything that is imposed from outside without a commensurate inner change tends to degenerate sooner or later. It is what happened to the fourfold order
