In the visible world they are the male and female powers and energies of the universe and it is this external aspect of them as gods of the Sun, Fire, Air, Waters, Earth, Ether, the conscious-forces ever present in material being which gives us the external or psycho-physical side of the Aryan worship. The antique view of the world as a psycho-physical and not merely a material reality is at the root of the ancient ideas about the efficacy of the mantra and the relation of the gods to the external life of man; hence the force of prayer, worship, sacrifice for material ends; hence the use of them for worldly life and in so-called magic rites which comes out prominently in the Atharva Veda and is behind much of the symbolism of the Brahmanas. But in man 🙍♂️himself the gods are conscious psychological powers [conti]
The gods and goddesses are cosmic beings and powers that govern the physical as well as psychological aspects of existence. Agni, the force of fire
Mother has mentioned in the agenda that the Chinese are people from moon and doesn’t possess a psychic being. Can you elaborate on this? What is the evolutionary role of people with no psychic presence🤔?

Sahasranama Paath-Archana is the most important part of Tantric practice and is becoming quite popular these days. Can you explain the logic behind it🤨?

I am still not sure how to deal with my libido. As a young male, I occasionally experience extremely strong sexual desire. I am not in a relationship, I don’t masturbate or watch porn. I tried following some of your advice, such as exercise, breathing, creative expression, etc. It helped me enormously. But still there are times in which I just get completely submerged in lustful thoughts and overpowering desires. During such times I cannot sleep in the night and just crave sex intensely. When such states come, my mind starts telling me that I should just find somebody with whom I could have regular sex so that I don’t feel this agony😟, [conti]
What helps handling these strong sexual impulses is to stay as busy as one can be, especially with a work that can be done in
Alok da, why would an eye/cornea from healthy individual be not be good to donate to a blind disabled individual. This can give a new life to the blind person🤨
Under normal, ordinary circumstances it hardly matters as human beings the mass don’t differ much in terms of their consciousness. But as a human being
Sometimes in life your little mind cannot understand the working of The Divine mother with certain things that happen, how can we develop this patience and wideness, yes faith is there in her 100% but how to understand her working🤔?
Sri Aurobindo says in the Mother. ‘The One whom we adore as the Mother is the divine Conscious Force that dominates all existence, one and
Now that man strives for divine life on earth, once he gets a deathless luminous supramental body what will be his purpose of life on earth 🌏then?
After arrival of a deathless luminous supramental body, the life on earth in a way will have no purpose as such but a constant unfolding
Sri Aurobindo writes in the Life Divine on the nature of suffering and endurance: Since the nature of suffering is a failure of the conscious-force in us to meet the shocks of existence and a consequent shrinking and contraction and its root is an inequality of that receptive and possessing force due to our self-limitation by egoism consequent on the ignorance of our true Self🤨, …
Sri Aurobindo describes this in much greater detail in The Synthesis of Yoga. At physical level it implies endurance of physical pleasure and pain and
What were your favourite books📖 and authors when you were young?
Too many to count. Had a whole library. But if you ask me what books touched me most before turning to Sri Aurobindo and the

Can you explain something about the Freudian theory as how it redundant and completely against divine and life divine …and his suggestion that man is an animal😡 ..
Freudian psychoanalysis is one of the ways to understand human nature and apply this understanding to treat psychological problems. It is difficult to discuss all
Sometimes during Teej or Karwa Chauth, you may not feel the same excitement to observe the fast as you did in earlier years. But elders often say that once you’ve taken up this fast, you are bound to continue it until your last breath, no matter what. It makes the fast feel really tough at times😥
All these things have no importance at all. They had a meaning when wars were going on. That is why these customs, especially Karva Chauth
What does Mother and Sri Aurobindo think about same-sex love/marriage🧑🤝🧑? I was wondering because I have a crush on a woman and at this point I don’t know at all if she has one on me too or just wants to be friends, but she has asked to hangout and recently been acknowledging my existence more. In past, I would reach out occasionally and we never actually hung out, but she would be kind and it could very well be that I am making up everything in my head way too soon and maybe she is just merely thinking of me as a friend. I looked up the meaning of her name out of curiosity and discovered it has the exact same meaning as mine. I don’t know what to think of that but my brain immediately thinks it means we are meant to be together or something… I just wonder because my mind likes to take an idea and run far with it so now I am in a fantasizing world. Obviously I am [conti]
I think it is important to separate the chaff from the wheat. There is nothing wrong in hanging out or being friends even bestest of
Thinking about the three purusha concept of the Gita, I was wondering if the kshara purusha can be called psychic being, since kshara purusha is a being in evolution, a being who has descended into the mutable existence. Is that correct🤔?
Kshara Purusha is everywhere in the mutable creation but the psychic being is unique to earth. The psychic being is the jiva refered to in
‘Nexus between psychic being 🌟and higher consciousness is the principal means of siddhi’ (letters on yoga). Sir, can you explain this statement in simple terms?
The psychic being is the core and centre that we must first discover. Right now the psychic being is held hostage to the lower nature,
How can I guide and support my younger sibling during his college placement season? While many of his peers are already getting placed in companies, my sibling is taking a bit longer. Sometimes this makes him feel discouraged because of peer pressure and the competitive environment. How should I motivate him, help him stay confident, and guide him in improving his preparation without losing hope🤔?
Your understanding and being with him is itself a big support. We may not be always able to change outer circumstances the way we wish
Yesterday I had a dream that I and my two friends who were practicing yoga, all three of us went to Gurudev and bowed down at his feet, after that we left. As soon as we were about to go down the stairs, I looked at Gurudev and shouted loudly that I want to surrender completely, how should I do it, then he called me back and then he took me to the room, there he stood behind me and lifted me from behind and put his chin on my spine and I screamed 😱from within, then he brought me down again and said that your system was not aligned for super conscious power, then he had some black device, he took a photo from it and tried to show it to me, but it did not come in it, then he brought a book in his hand and taught me two things in it, the first was “Guru Govind Do Khade Kha Ke Lagi Pahi” and the second was “Those who follow the orders of others go backwards”. Then I said should I read that book, then he wrote on the top of that book 16th (meaning of which I did not understand). After that I said that I get orders during meditation, understand. I don’t know which is right and which is wrong, so he said pray, so I said I will hand it over to you, before doing that he said yes, then he bowed down at his feet and started to leave, I said it is dark, should I switch on the light of the room, but he refused, after that when I started to leave there were a lot of shoes lying there and I was in a hurry, my friends were waiting for me, where are my shoes, but I was not able to find my shoes. Apart from this, when I was with Gurudev, even then I felt inside me that he is waiting for me outside. And after waking up in the morning I was feeling that presence. What can be the meaning of this Dada?
By guru ji are you referring to Sri Aurobindo? It is quite an unlikely way of his relating. I think you should read Sri Aurobindo
