Sir, I have been practicing Gayatri Sadhana🙏 for many years. From my understanding, the Goddess Gayatri is a unified form of Saraswati (Hrim), Lakshmi (Shrim), and Kali or Durga (Klim). By practicing their worship, the Goddess grants her devotees good intellect, prosperity, and strength. She also inspires devotees towards the four goals of life—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Is my understanding correct? In some of your answers, you mentioned that each deity has different powers, and the achievements gained from their worship correspond to those specific powers. So, is my understanding of Maa Gayatri correct? Please help resolve my doubts.
Gayatri devi is associated with a type of metre or rhythm. She is considered to be a manifestation of goddess Saraswati who has set into
Ravana being a Shiv bhakta and an intelligent king can we say that he was a good man but took over by the possession of Sita🤔?

Please explain science of Mantra. Are Vedic mantras like Gayatri & Mritianjay and Tantrik mantras like Beeja mantras different in their effect? If yes then How?

Why some people call Rama misogynist?

Today in the afternoon I was making my son rest and we were listening to the guided meditation, I was conscious but as if a black out, like not sleeping but not awake. Both my palms were open, I felt heat and strong vibrations in the palms and in the blackout I saw a golden star, shape of Sri Aurobindo’s symbol but just the star⭐ then I woke up with a jerk, What happened?
It is an authentic experience of contact with the Mother’s Force giving a glimpse of Sri Aurobindo as the…
When I came to the line where you say, ” Swar Lak ☀ is in the higher planes of mind…”, it was like a light bulb came on in my mind. It was like I was thinking about my soul going somewhere as if in sky somewhere. And now all of a sudden I realized that oh, Swarg (swar Lok ) in inside me, my soul. I just have to evolve so much my conscious level so much that I realize that. Am I right?
Yes absolutely so. Our souls need to ascend to higher and higher states of consciousness. Each time this happens we gain a better vantage point
Can you please tell me what this dream 😴 means, it had different sequences. [1] There was a scene where I was in village and my dad give me something to eat and I toss it and there are centipede in it. I drop it and then many of them fall out and my dad pick up each in hand and I stop him but he does pick up to clean and in dream I was thinking why am I so dependent?
[1] Generally it would mean inheriting certain ambitions from the parents. These are like contaminants to the straight natural line of expression that is the
Most of us worship gods 😇 for a better life. Do they really respond to our worship or is it just a psychological tool developed by our rishis so that a person in need does not lose hope?
he gods are not psychological tools but cosmic forces, energies, powers that stand behind the various workings of the cosmos. Since these forces are not
If Sita and Rama 🏹cannot be even called a happily married couple they why are they given as an example of ideal couple in India, don’t you think this example needs to be change?

The Divine 😇 comes down into the cycle of rebirths, makes the great holocaust, endures shame and abloguy, torture and crucifixion, the burden of human nature, sex and passion and sorrow and suffering, manifests many births before he reveals the Avatar. And when he does reveal it? Well, read the lives of the Avatars and try to understand and see. [CWSA 35:424]

What do you feel about Religious extremist movements with insults on the Indian flag and other anti national behaviour 😠 , what can we do as these are insults to our Mother India?
Your reaction at the insult of Mother India is understandable and many of us share it. But we should be clear that these so-called khalistanis
Sita’s Banishment is very tragic and upsetting, how can Sita 🌎 let that happen she could have refused, why she accepted it? One feels for Sita, I feel she was bichari to go through all this, no modern self woman would let do what Sita did, how can any modern woman relate to her?
This is the other angle of the story of Sita’s banishment. Painful as the story is, apparently ending on a tragic note, a closer look
I have met a person 4 years back and he was a complete stranger to me But it felt like I had already know him, his face is known to me he often comes to my work place but we never talked only eye contact and than I left that place later that year and moved to another place but I was not happy, I might have missed him and suddenly I got his request on insta and we started chatting, he also felt the same .
