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.
The supreme mother is full of paradoxes. She is both with form and without form, both prideful and free of pride, both the creator of ignorance and its destroyer. In every scripture, She is described with opposing attributes. Why this contradiction😏?
There is no contradiction in Her but it is to the limited mind’s way of seeing that it appears as contradictions. In fact everything in
Divine chooses His instruments from time to time whenever there is a great threat to a nation or world then why Divine did not choose any strong leader like Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel to lead India rather than weak leaders like Gandhiji and Nehru? Because of such weak leaders India suffered partition, lost its land to both Pakistan and China and is suffering till now😡
The Divine does not work arbitrarily in a vacuum. The will of the people and their free choice is an important aspect of the Divine
Few questions: Earlier since last 19 months I was eating veg. food without garlic and onion, though always it was a problem to our family, still I was continuing the same. Now just few days before after choosing the Mother’s Path I started eating onion and garlic. Is it ok or it is better to continuing food without onion and garlic as I am habituated with it🤔?
Onion is tamasic in properties. As far as sadhana goes, Sattwic vegetarian food, the kind which you were taking, is anyday…
Bhaiya My sister has an overprotective instinct for her daughter. She doesn’t allow her to go for a movie with boys. She doesn’t allow her to wear modern outfits, and she used to tell her to do all these things once you get a job. Due to which she asked me a question: is it right to do all these things without asking for permission, or else she will wait until she gets a job? Please advice what should be the right attitude should she take😥
It is not a question of doing things with or without permission but doing them consciously and knowing the implications of our actions. One should
Is everyone the son of God or there are mixed human beings-some sons of God and many sons of Asuras? Because in this world most of the human beings are busy in thinking about themselves. No concern about something other than themselves and their loved ones. That’s why many a times i think how such people can be sons of God😏?
In their deepest core everyone without exception is the child of God. This child of God present in everyone is the soul within which is

In Savitri 🕊️Book 1 Canto 4 it is written that- “We are sons of God and must be even as he: His human portion, we must grow divine.” If we are sons of God then why in most of the human beings animality is dominant rather than divinity?
Because the child has forgotten this simple truth, like a child separated from his parents soon after birth, much like the story of Mowgli reared

I had this question from childhood, that why despite being a Shiva bhakta did Ravana not change his guna 🤔?
Nobody can change someone who doesn’t want to change. Otherwise God would not have already done the needful and there would have been no need
Why was Arjuna chosen to witness the Virat Swaroop and receive the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, instead of someone else? And, when Yudhishthira had questions, Shri Krishna advised him to seek answers from Bhishma.
Yudhisthira is the ultimate sattwic man, and like all righteous men lives in the self-sufficiency of his intellect. He governs his life by the Shastra
We know that Sri Aurobindo achieved Sri Krishna Consciousness long ago. Many a times he has written his name as Kali. What is the relationship between Krishna🦚 and Kali?{conti]

I had a dream that a pandit tells me that I have 8 hrs to live in a very dark gloomy room with a booming voice. And then I ask him what could be done. He says pray to Hanuman ji he will listen to you. Then I try to but can’t and then my naani says do it in pooja room but I can’t concentrate and then I pray to krishna. But I panick. Alok da are dreams real? I have been dreaming of ghosts and dead and now this😨.
The origin of dreams of this kind is mostly fear. Just take the Mother’s Name, Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa
Dear Alok bhai ,today I read this from Prayers and Meditations . “The joy present to us in activity is compensated and counterpoised by the perhaps still greater joy that we feel in withdrawal from all activity “. Please do elaborate on this. Kindly put more words, as to why the Divine is called ‘a mystery’ and ‘the wonderful’ in the below shloka? Is the Divine indeed so Great and the Absolute😇?
He is a mystery because none can know Him by the natural instruments of the senses and mind. And even when we go beyond the

I don’t understand why many so called modern women have child and then run after career achievements money, fame leaving its almost like abandoning the child to servants etc, if they wanted all that why they needed to have a child in the first place? And if one has decided to have a child shouldn’t basic common sense say that child should be priority? Why such so called educated women don’t understand that their child will be inferior in terms of psychological development forget about soul progress and new creation😏 ….
It is because of the stress of different values in a civilisation. In most ancient societies, there was a stress on social order and preservation
Dear Alok bhai, today i read this from Prayers and Meditations. “The joy present to us in activity is compensated and counterpoised by the perhaps still greater joy that we feel in withdrawal from all activity “. Please do elaborate on this ☺️
The full prayer is as below. It denotes two kinds of joy that human beings experience, the joy when we are engaged in activity, and
I have some questions about the difficulties of human nature. We have been told that the gods dislike vices like pride, sloth, arrogance etc. However, if they know that it is difficult to get rid of them, then why do they still get angry when we display these vices (atleast in the stories)? Also why doesn’t Nature let us escape from these things so easily? I feel like humans are almost helplessly struggling against such things but still all the blame is put on us. I hope I’m wrong but sometimes I feel like that the cosmic deities don’t understand human struggles😥
I don’t think gods are portrayed as perfect beings or as a paragon of virtues in any theology. Their role is largely to keep the
