In the Ramcharitmanas Tulsidas makes Rama say “sanmukh hohi jeeva mohi jabahi janam koti agha naasahi tabahi” (As soon as a soul is face to face with me, the sins of crores of births are destroyed). Isn’t this true for the first contact with the presence at the Samadhi too 😊?
Well, everything is possible if the soul invokes the highest Grace by the intensity of its faith and / or aspiration. However it may not
Which according to you is the best deity and way of worship for a man like me 😏 who is quite lethargic and disinterested in life as I sometimes feel, this whole existence (humans, galaxies, animals, plants etc) is meaningless but at the same time desire to develop a permanent evolutionary impulse in me.
The chosen Deity (Ishta Devata) is not someone that can be determined by weighing the pros and cons, advantages and benefits vis a vis the

As I am studying Katha Upanishad, (still only on 11th Mantra), couple of questions came to my mind, Does Sri Aurobindo and Mataji believe in Vedic (e.g rituals, Karmakand) or Vedantic philosophy? And I am having trouble with the concept of Tatvam Asi and yet going to Swarg. If everything is in me, why is Swarg separate🤔?
Sri Aurobindo did not discard Karmkand but bypasses it. His starting point is the Vedantic philosophy that there is One Reality behind all appearances. He
Why some people suffer so much in their lives both physically and mentally while others get everything smooth both mentally and physically? Yesterday I went to meet my 82 year old neighbour who is suffering from cancer for the past four years. Her treatment is going on and she was fine till June 2024 but now she has become very weak and suffering from multiple myeloma. One can see pain and suffering in her eyes. After meeting her I felt it is better to die than to live in this condition😭. Is this suffering due to what we call prarabdh or is it something else? And why not death comes and take lives of such persons who are suffering a lot because it is very painful to live in such condition?
That earthly life has its burden of suffering is obvious. The difference exists in theories about the cause of suffering. The wise say its root
Why was this world 🌏 made? You explained it beautifully, but I’m an atheist and don’t believe it was created by a power. If I did, I wouldn’t be asking this question.
Normally one would this question only if one believed that there is a Conscious Being or Power that has gone into the making of this

Following para is from the book Shakti & Shakta by Sir John Woodroffe, Page#418 & 419-Chapter XXI-Hindu Ritual: The Wave of Bliss🌊, citing Samaya Tantra, says: “By the worship of some Deva, liberation is with difficulty attained, and by the worship of others enjoyment is to be had, but in the case of the worshipper of the Mother, both enjoyment and liberation lie in the hollow of his hands.” But, unless prayed to, the Mother or Devī does not, give fruit, and naturally so. FOR THE DEVI IS MOVED TO ACTION THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF THE WORSHIPPER. ESSENTIALLY THE WORSHIPPER IS THE DEVĪ HERSELF, AND UNLESS SHE IN HER FORM AS THE WORSHIPPER IS MOVED, SHE IN HER ASPECT AS THE SUPREME LORD—“OUR LADY” DOES NOT MOVE. I am struggling to comprehend the above lines in capital letters. Request your kind guidance.
It means that All is the Divine Mother. The forms She has built by HER power of limiting Maya are Herself in disguise. The power
How do we know that the events described in the scriptures 📚actually happened in the past? What evidence do we have to support their authenticity, and why do we trust the writings of the Rishis? While I understand that these writings display incredible imagination, why do we worship what may essentially be their imaginative creations?
There are three kinds of Scriptures. First type do not describe events but spiritual experiences that occur in inner subjective space and often belong to
Mother speaks in her Agenda, “The most difficult thing in the material world, here, is to fight against the result of all those millennia of experiences that have created a sort of pessimistic and defeatist consciousness—a general consciousness, you know, like this (gesture enveloping the earth). It isn’t formulated in words, but for that consciousness it can be expressed thus, “Yes, we don’t deny the existence of all those divine things, but they aren’t for us, they’re for …” (gesture to the heights)”(1) What exactly is this defeatist 😦consciousness? It is the general resistance from humanity to Truth, as it has always been?
1) Yes it is the general resistance to the possibility of anything ever changing the earthly life. Almost all the spiritual sects I know deny
