I have a question regarding one of the mother’s statement on Durga, where she asks durga to surrender. Dada, how Durga is not a part of our mother as we have grown up listening her stories and she is considered a divine embodiment herself, so how is she different or distant from mother. When we talk about Mahakali, Mahasaraswati aspects are we referring to different approaches of mother or they are different divine beings altogether🤔?
Durga is very much an aspect of the Divine Mother just as the great Gods Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and the rest. In fact seen from
Is there a possibility that the Mother😇 still exist in a physical form somewhere in the world, perhaps in the form of vibhuti?
The Avatar can be considered as the highest possibility in a human body. In fact the Avatar is a descent of the Supreme Divine assuming
Sir, please explain the Tantras in detail. Also how it is different from Vedant & Puranas😏?
Very briefly however there are two sides of the One Divine Reality, the passive, silent, witness Purusha, Ishwara and the active, dynamic, creative Prakriti, Shakti.
I have a very weird relationship with my parents when it comes to their relationships with their parents. I don’t share a very happy relationship with my grand parents due to their behavior with me and my family earlier in my life. They do not fit in my circle of people and i have communicated to my parents clearly that i will only have a cordial relationship with them, in terms of only greeting when we meet. I prefer to keep my wife and kid away from the grand parents influence, however my father’s expectation on this is more and we have a tiff every time an incident happens. I have come to terms with this situation, however how do I communicate this to my parents clearly and again😠?
Communication is mainly meant to build bridges by expressing what is going on within oneself. The purpose is to help build a bond of deeper
When Dwarka flooded, why some people say its failure from Krishna as what was the point of everything when eventually it was going to drown, I don’t know what to say …. As I too am wondering why Krishna let Dwarka drown🙄?
Sri Krishna was way ahead of his times. He came to show how one can live normally and yet in freedom and delight. But mankind
I’ve heard that when Aghoris use cuss words, whether directed at others or their disciples, they are said to be transferring their punyas to them. Is this true? Why do Aghoris use cuss words😏?
Aghor simply means someone who has passed beyond sorrow and fear, A(not)-Ghor (terrible). The path towards this state of oneness is either through the daivic
“Always behave as if the Mother was looking at you, because She is, indeed always present”. You said about this message ‘The only rule of Ashram life.’ What does it mean? Does it is not applicable to Mothers Children who live out side Ashram🤔?
This was the one and only rule given by Sri Aurobindo when the sadhaks requested for it. What is interesting is that this rule is
I quit my job after 8 years. However there are still some aspects of the job for which I am responsible. The company has committed to me to remunerate for the work that I will do staying out of the system. However I think if they are irresponsible enough not to hire some one to replace me, why should I be involved. Moreover since the owners don’t care about their company and not hiring some one, why should I be emotionally involved and not move on. The only reason I agreed to do some work is my healthy relationship with my immediate boss. Please advise if I should continue helping them or not🙄.
Your decision to help or not to help should not be based on the owner’s approach towards the company but on factors personal to you.
A so called prestigious university from USA came up with a survey that 60% of Krishna does not exist based on historical and archaeological evidence, what should be tell such morons? And how to shut them up😡?
The Western world today is sunk deep into scientific materialism and hence it regards only these things as true that can be seen, heard, touched,
Alok Da, Please provide a solution to a problem. Sri Aurobindo says that the soul of a nation is not subject to the law of Karma. It would be a great kindness if you could guide us about this. In fact, we see that what imperialist Britain did, it is now having to suffer the consequences. There will be other examples as well. Is India also grappling with the problems it faces today due to its own actions, its own Karma🤨?
The law of karma is a law of evolution through experience and learning rather than of reward and punishment. This happens ordinarily through rebirth because
What is the cure of sufferings😪?

Alok da, I had a bad dream that I got injured very badly by needles all over😧.
The needles are simply small little things that irritate us. By remaining indifferent towards them, by not reacting to what people say you can become
Alok da, I’ve noticed lately that people around me are so focused on themselves—constantly talking about what they like, how good or sensible they are, and endlessly bragging about themselves. They don’t even bother to ask about your life, and if they do, it’s only for a moment before they steer the conversation back to themselves. They seem to care about no one but themselves. What’s happening to human interactions these days🙄?
Well much of humanity has always been like this, self-centered around their little self and its meaningless achievements. It is best not to bother about
Is daily journaling (to the Divine) a spiritually helpful activity? Does it help us in establishing a conscious contact with the Divine and change our nature in some way📖🖋️?
Very much so. Writing in the form of a letter to the Divine is better than sharing within the mind through the thoughts. Firstly we
Please tell us about Sri Ramana Maharshi and significance of his life☺️.

How much does being humble, polite, kind, and respectful of others’ perspectives, contribute to the practice of Mother’s yoga😇?
Humility is a great quality but it should be only in reference to the Divine. And the Divine cannot be captured by any or all
Do affirmations like “I am love, I am kind, I am grateful” help in personal growth🤔?
