My parents are asking me to start thinking about finding a man to date and eventually marry. They are nudging me to meet men. I was recently talking to one guy that I met while on a run. He stopped me and asked for my number and based on looks I gave it to him. We started to go running together and when I would go study on weekends he would join me. He is 4 years younger and now went back to college which is about 4 hours away so we were talking over text and phone, but today, on a call he asked me some questions about the future and I told him the situation with my parents about them wanting me to find a husband and the other factor which is race / ethnicity. The one I was talking to is of African and Mexican descent and I figured even though my parents are accepting, that it would cause some issues which I don’t want to deal with. Despite us getting along so well and him treating me like a princess, when I told him today he got very upset about it. Now I am not feeling inclined to reach back out and fight for it because he’s pretty upset and it feels pointless since I’ve made up my mind that I will listen to my parents / find an Indian man for them, but I also wonder if I made a mistake because I was afraid of family reactions and considering I did have feelings for himš„ [conti]

A couple of weeks ago I asked you about the problem of a long distance relationship. You encouraged me to continue it as it would give a chance of refining the relationship to a higher level without the bondage of marriage. Still, at this stage it feels like work, and there is little satisfaction that I feel. I realised we are so different that we have few things to talk about when we are not physically present with each other. Even other people told me that itās obvious that Iām not in love with the girl, and if I was I wouldnāt be speaking in this way. It is mostly my idealism that made me commit to her in this way, because I couldnāt bear the thought of hurting herš„
It is obvious that one should not engage in a relationship if one is not happy about it or doesnāt feel love. There is nothing
You explained it in such a wonderful way, and I have gained a lot of understanding from it. when you said, “Spirituality and the spiritual paths are not like colleges where one goes to earn a degree or get some result. Spiritual life is a vast unfolding of each one’s unique divine possibility with no reference or comparison with anyone else”Ā You have touched me deeply, and I am very grateful for answering all my questions with your love š
You have a beautiful heart. May your faith and aspiration grow and the Divine Mother guide you in…

Is there a place for conscious & kind intimacy in the spiritual journey? Why is there such a stigma to sex in the spiritual domain? Why does Indian society feel ashamed of this subject?

A few days ago I was on a trip to South India. During this time I got to see many temples of Goddess Gayatri in almost all the cities like Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mysore etc. Goddess Gayatri is worshipped along with Shiva, Ganesha, Kartikeya and Sriyantra in all the temples except the Mysore Palace. This surprised me as I have known the Goddess as a power that illuminates. I am wondering what could be the rationale behind this which seems to be against the scriptures. Can you please shed some light on thisš?
The worship of goddess Gayatri is relatively new. I am not sure when these temples were built because in ancient scriptures you here so much
Why did God choose the designs He did? Like I understand the beauty and I’m in awe of uplifting it to His majesty… but why is a rose red? Why does the atom look the way it does? Why is the Sun round? Or, is it that these are just what are limited senses are yet able to perceive and there are more shapes, colours, and designs our senses are not yet tuned toš¤Ø?
The forms and colours in the world have been conceived through the eye of an Artist and given shape and figure through the hands of
This question is from one of Mother’s Prayers: A teaching can be profitable only if it is perfectly sincere, that is, if it is lived while it is being given, and words often repeated, thoughts expressed frequently can no longer be sincere…Why should oft repeated words or thoughts become insincere? Is Mother saying that by doing it we become attached to the outer shell than to the inner Truthš¤?
Words are vehicles meant to carry certain vibrations through the medium of speech. The vibrations are contributed by the spontaneous movements of the inner being.
Bhaiya, I had a dream in which I was inside a temple. I donāt know the exact deity of the temple, but it seemed like it might be Goddess Kali. What happened there was that an old man was lying down, almost in a state of dying. After that, I saw the window turn completely black, and the soul or spirit of that old man came out and went directly towards the deity. I stepped outside after seeing this and told my friend, who was standing outside in the dream, that this place didnāt feel good. I explained the whole incident to her, and she said that there are some distorted forms of Kali that are not good. She then started searching for which form of Kali this was, and at that point my dream endedš²
Yes it seems you did enter a dark vital domain where one of these forms of the goddess Kali resides. She is not dangerous but
