Brother, Vande Mataram. Brother, two months ago I told you that I was unable to practice Brahmacharya (celibacy), and you advised me not to dwell on it but to keep myself busy. I tried, but since then, even more impure thoughts have been filling my mind; my mobile phone is the main cause of my downfall. ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฅ๐ฆ[…]

My father passed away in 2009. On the 11th or 12th day after he passed away, as I was sleeping on his bed in India and I had an experience. I am certain it was not a dream. I saw my Dad suddenly in front of me as a young man. ๐ชฆ๐จ๐ปโ๐ฆณ๐ญ๐ซจ[…]

Mother says: If someone has complete faith and surrender to the divine, he should not have fear. On the other hand, she said the divine doesn’t act according to our wishes and desires; it has its own course of action. ๐ญ๐ค๐ฆ๐[…]

But very disheartening to me, as I was feeling happy that myย Psychic is finally active and trying to work from the front.ย Now Iย know the journey is very, very long…ย ๐๐ฅ๐
Someone on the path of yoga is never disheartened. It is the restless vital and the impatient mind that want quick results and hence get
Jai Maa, I have heard that the Mother said in one of her talks that sannyasis can be more vulnerable than normal people and in another place that one should not go near them, as they can even have an adverse influence. Are these authentic statements? What are the reasons for these statements? ๐ง๐ป๐ฟ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ๐
In general, both Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna, prefered tyaga over sannyasa. The Mother goes one step further when She says.

Dear Alok Da, as I commit to Integral Sadhana and the process of rejection, I am torn about the place of emotional non-violence toward loved ones who depend on me. My family and partnerโhonorable people to whom I owe muchโwill inevitably feel hurt, abandoned, and anxious as I step away from conventional human duties for my spiritual calling. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ฅฒ๐๐ป๐ป[…]
I fully understand your dilemma, the dilemma of a Sattwic human being. It is the apex of all that we call human. And yet even
Dada, I am unable to fully grasp this. On one hand, you believe that and I will be together in the future; yet, based on my dream, you suggest that if I desire to be with her, it goes against God’s will and would lead me away from my true destiny. ๐๐๐๐ป๐ธ[…]
All restlessness, impatience, over eagerness of desires are clearly going in one direction whereas love and service of the Divine in quite another. One doesn’t
Verse 36 of Sri Brahma-samhita mentions that the 64 classical artsโincluding medicinal healing (Vrikshayurveda-yoga) and animal fighting (Mesha-Kukkuta-Yuddha)โare eternally present in Goloka. ๐๐๐๐ป๐ป[…]
Goloka is described beautifully in great detail in Savitri Book Two Canto Three. Yes, there is no disease and suffering there. Yet it is the
Dream 1: A bullet was there in my chestย and which was connected through a string with a gun that I was holding.ย As I fired, the bullet came out of my chest. ๐ญ๐ฏ๐๐ชฝ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฆฐ
Very good dream. You are removing what was hurting you because of attachments. The string is attachment.
In that case, what is the difference between being conscious of the Divine while doing an action and opening to the Divine when doing an action? ๐ซด๐ป๐ค๐
Becoming conscious of the Divine means that one is aware of the Divine Presence within while one is engaged in action. This is the Divine

Should the fight in Mathura, Varanasi and Sambhal continue till the Hindus get justice? ๐๐๐๐ป๐ผ
It is not simply about Hindus getting justice. It is also about the healing needed for a wounded civilisation. It is also about the Muslims
Just like last time, I have been assigned seva (selfless service) in the fields again. However, the last time it was winter, so the heat of the sun wasn’t really felt; this time, it is scorching hot, and my body is unaccustomed to this kind of labor. ๐ฃ๐๐ป๐[…]

For the last 2 months, I have been having dreams of accomplished yoga practitioners and the dreams are symbolic like a practitioner is giving orders to someone like a king- someone who shows more emotions from outside but, on the inside, bows down to the Guru as a formality! ๐ญ๐ค๐ป[…]

Iโve been trying to develop a healthy outlook on the dynamics of man-woman relationships in the midst of a lot of mutually contradictory advice from parents, friends, and other parties. As of late, I started to investigate the old and still popular idea of the man being the dominant side of the relationship, with the woman submitting to his will and being obedient to him.

The idea of male dominance is outdated and outrightly childish. Men and women are and should be equal partners. In fact if one is to
I have been a devotee of Hanumanji from my childhood. Traditionally we believe that Hanumanji still stays in the earth. I am curious that in the present Avatar of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, what is the role he is playing? Also, have you had any experiences with him? Thank you!โฐ๏ธ๐งก๐น๐
Hanuman ji is a wonderful god who grants bhakti and shakti to those engaged in the sewa of The Lord. That has been my experience
But there also might be some instances where I have to see or face something that is inappropriate or sensitive. How do I find the courage? ๐ฅ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ๐ผ๐
