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.
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.
We have heard about the seven immortals — Why are they called ‘immortal,’ and what does that actually mean? How should we understand their role or significance and will they also undergo supramentalization🙂?
The 7 or according to some scriptures 5 chiranjeevis continue to guide and help humanity according to the intuition they receive from Above and in
When someone wants to start their spiritual journey, some people begin with introductory courses offered by well-known organisations and gradually build on that, eventually going on to teach “Spirituality” in a systematic way. But of course, you have to pay for those. What I want to ask is—apart from the money side, can anyone begin their spiritual journey in this way🤨? And if someone feels drawn to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, what introductory books would you recommend?
This way of turning people to the spiritual life is nothing but spiritual commercialism wherein spiritual teaching or practice is sold as a commodity. The
I’m going to pour my heart out here. For a number of years I have been out of any relationship, preferring to focus on my own personal goals and spiritual development. Recently, I met a girl with whom I entered into a casual relationship. We were spending a lot of time together, felt mutually happy, had a lot of fun, and had sexual contact as well (although it was not the main component). This thing lasted for only a month, and we both agreed from the start that it could not continue after this month because of our going to separate places. I even warned her from the very beginning that we have to be careful so as not to catch feelings towards each other. She said — yes, it will not happen. However, over time the situation changed. She fell in love with me, told me she never met someone like me, that I made her feel very happy and safe, and so on. I told her we could try to continue our relationship long distance. But personally, I don’t feel the same depth of feelings towards her😬. Nor can I imagine her as my long-term partner because I don’t feel that she is spiritually inclined. (It is important for me to be with someone who shared my aspiration).
These things happen when we are excessively focused on one aspect or dimension to the exclusion of others, especially the emotional and passionate aspects of
Over the past decade I have faced far too many personal & professional failures. Nothing I seek is seeking me, in fact its getting repelled from me the moment I start working towards it. I’m loosing my faith in the world, I see myself alienating from almost everyone. I’m a well meaning, truthful and soul curious person. What’s happening to me? Is this a sign for me to leave the material world🥹?
It is the moment to reckon the truth that you are perhaps not marked for the things that you are seeking in ignorance. It is
There are so many rumors about the virgin Mary. I have heard she was Indian and a Buddhist. Is that true? What was she🤔?
I doubt these stories. Not much is known about her authentically. But the story of Christ coming to India and learning Buddhism as well as
Kindly let me know the meanings of ‘being’ and ‘becoming’, and the difference between them😏
Being is the Divine as the Source, the Origin. Becoming is what He becomes through the manifestation, creation etc. Being is stable and static. Becoming
I’m just starting to read Savitri🕊️, and was just wondering about the general and deeper synopsis. The story itself is based on a story from MahaBharata ? But I’ve heard some people say also that though the story is based on that, that Savitri is the representation of the spiritual evolution of the Soul and Satyavan is the Spiritual Destiny? I’m a bit confused on the grand symbolic meaning of the epic.
As to the story of Savitri and Satyavan it is narrated in the Mahabharata as well as Brahmvaivarta Purana as a tale of conjugal love
Dear Alok da, Trump and America suddenly changed their stance about India, it seems like because India is rising they want to push it in a corner please comment on this🙏
It has not come suddenly. The President was always a sort of Megalimaniac and a self-seeking Narcissist. As long as his ego was being fed
How important is this kind of journey in our spiritual practice, how is it helping our inner journey, how can we understand this from this dream🤔?
he dreams are often symbolic of what is going on within us. Thus they make us little more conscious. Mostly however they are simply notations
What exactly does immortality mean in this yoga? My understanding is that the psychic being becomes conscious of its journey from birth to birth. Am I right🤨? Kindly enlighten me.
There are three main kinds of immortality that the yogi becomes aware of. The first is of course, as you rightly mention, becoming conscious of
How should parents of this generation pass down the wisdom of our scriptures and traditions to their children? Many parents today neither read the scriptures nor regularly perform pooja at home. So, what can they do to help their children understand the true meaning and value of our spiritual heritage😌?
Most important thing to be passed down to the children today is not so much Scriptural Wisdom but a real and living example what a
What happens when two people in a relationship have an unequal (one person is extremely attracted, the other may feel some attraction but not to the same extent) amount of love towards each other? Is love a necessary prerequisite for living happily together, or is being simply comfortable and at peace around another person enough for this purpose🤨?
Love is everywhere and in everything. But if you mean human love then yes it works best if there is affinity at different levels. Attraction,
Alok da, Ma says we can meet Sri Aurobindo in the subtle physical where he is permanently there, how can I meet him🙂 ?
By intense devotion to the point of being detached with everything else. By serving him in the spirit of nishkama karma leaving the result and
Could you please explain what exactly these three forces are in the passage from Life Divine🤔? All our activities are the play of the triple force of the old philosophies, knowledge-force, desire-force, action-force, and all these prove to be really three streams of one original and identical Power, Adya Shakti. Even our states of rest are only equable state or equilibrium of the play of her movement…
Tamas is not mentioned because it is about activity that he is speaking. Tamas is inertia and sets in to balance the activity. The three
Sir, How to navigate the guilt and regret about failures of life and pursue the path of yoga with absolute confidence and clarity without getting sucked😥?
There is only one failure. It is to give up effort for progress in one direction or another. All the rest is a preparation for
I was reading a book by Mr Narendra Murthy, The atoms are made up of Electron, Neutron and proton, and they are made up of Hadrons. And the Hadrons are made up of nothing! Is it true ? That even the science doesn’t know the very physicality of the universe? Is the essence of the hadron which scientists claim empty is Brahman🤨?
It simply means that Science as of now does not know what hadrons are made up of. After all the inability to discover something does
It’s said “Our body, a charriot, senses horses, the rope mind, Bhuddi The Charioteer Sri Krishna driving the Soul to its destination. ” By gyana ( BG) Sri Krishna enlightens The Jiva, while He himself is conducting Arjuna’s battle of life, when The Soul has surrendered. Then what’s The need of The Divine Mother? What is Her role along with Sri Krishna? in enlightening Arjuna? So in the chariot and charioteer context the role of Divine Mother doesn’t appear? So the role of the Divine Mother is not an essential condition for moksha? Here I am not referring” Integral yoga” where The Divine Mother plays The Key Role. About generally for liberation, how important the concept of The Divine Mother, Moola Prakruthi? Please clarify when you get time🙏
If you ask this question to Sri Krishna, he would perhaps reply that where is my Power to save and liberate coming from? He will
In Rajyoga, it is taught that we should think positively even about those who behave negatively. Just as we offer blessings to someone who is physically ill, we should also extend forgiveness and compassion to those who are emotionally or spiritually unwell. Rajyoga emphasizes the power of pure thoughts, inner peace, and soul consciousness. By connecting with the Supreme through meditation, we cultivate virtues like patience, kindness, and detachment, allowing us to remain stable and loving even in the face of negativity. What are your thoughts on this and how much this is aligned to Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga?
Yes it is a very helpful practice and is quite aligned to Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga. It helps in a preliminary purification. It is a cultivation
