I had a dream last night I saw that I have board a very very fast moving train đ and we are going to some place which we don’t know but seems like a place like there was too much crime and chaos, everything is fine we sat down, then suddenly everybody in the train was asked to came in between the walking area between seats of the train away from the windows, I was surprised why we are asked to do so…someone told me it’s going to a place like Bihar and we want that nobody gets to see that there are people inside this train…I could not see people outside the train as it was moving with full speed…but they said there are people outside and they may attack us..so people inside the train stood in between the path of the train.
The extremely fast train is the vital aspects of Nature under whose influence or impulse we often move. This is disorienting and confusing especially as
Alok da can you share the part from Agenda where Mother said about the new food that will come in the future, also in context to that so many food supplementsđ, collegians builders protein powders dehydrated food etc has come in the markets so how should we look at them? Are they the new age food or just another fad?Â
It is a conversation of May 27, 1970 as reproduced below where She describes the future being. ‘I saw that future being (I saw it
Can you explain to me the difference between brain𤯠and mind ? Can you rationally explain the existence of something beyond the physical organ. To me it seems obvious that everybody is different because of genetic makeup, their environment etc. but Roshni is saying there is something beyond brain that operates and tried to explain but I canât see the logic in it nor understand what sheâs trying to explain itâs too complex.
That things, even material things exist beyond the limits of the senses is well known, isn’t it. The universe is teeming with very small objects
Alok Sir, It is almost 14 years when I just read something very little about Gangadharan (The Disciple of Mother and Sri Aurobindo) in one Magazine published by Vedmurti Sri Ram Sharma Acharya (Shantikunj), Since that time I was extremely attracted and fascinated for his simplicity and devotion towards Mother and Sri Aurobindo, just one day before I knew something more about him and his Writings ( Sri Aravinda Ashtothara Shatha Namavali) 108 names of Sri Aurobindo. 1- History about writing these namesđŞˇ.
There is no history as such though The Golden Chain did carry a piece on him, long back. These names appeared to him in his
How to come out of ignorance and falsehood and inconscience �
The Mother’s Grace. From our side an inner state made up of aspiration, faith, sincerity, devotion and surrender to open our consciousness entirely to…
Why do we see Leapord, tiger busts in Ma / Sri Aurobindoâs rooms – akin to what hunters keep as their priced killings? Have Ma and Sri Aurobindo themselves said something about thisđ ?
The outer reason is that it was gifted to them by a devotee who was probably inspired by the image of Shiva wearing a tiger
I came across a reel on Instagram where a personâs body was being burned after death, and someone was moving it around with a stick. It really shook me đŤ¨and made me reflect deeply, if our body is ultimately destroyed like this, does it mean it has no real significance? Iâm trying to explore this from a scientific perspective: are we merely a combination of cells, atoms, and chemical reactions? What exactly are we? Why are we here? And most importantly, how do I begin to discover the answers to these questions?
Human thought has swung between two extremes with regard to the physical body. One extreme materialistic view is to regard the body as everything, as
If God already knows everything about us and our lives, then why do we need to pray?
Think of it this way. A sculptor is moulding the material of which we are made. He wants to mould it into a beautiful image.
Is sex an essential part of a relationship? What happens when one partner feels a natural desire for physical intimacy, while the other is either not interested or doesnât feel the same way? How should someone navigate this difference without compromising the emotional bond they share? Is it possible to maintain a fulfilling relationship when such a fundamental aspect of connection is missing or mismatchedđ¤?
Sex has little if anything to do with love. What love needs for its integral fulfilment is physical intimacy but that need not mean sex.
I have some doubts regarding mantra chanting, I am chanting ” Om Namo Bhagwate Sri Aurobindai” and ” Om Anandmayi Chaityana Satyamayi Parame”, and one Name, “Maa Sri Aurobindo”. But I am confused with some traditional problems that above two are mantras should not chant when I am not clean or in any dirty place. But last mantra, “Ma Sri Aurobindo” is name and I can do it anywhere, anytime, doing anything, even in bathroomđ¤¨?
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother never gave any outer (or even inner conditions) for chanting Their Names or the mantras. Even Sri Krishna does not
I feel that by nature, my mind is quite restless. I don’t find comfort in peaceful or quiet places. For instance, when I once visited Samadhi, I stepped out almost immediately, I just couldn’t bear the silence. Iâve tried meditation too, but it didnât work for me. I think the reason is that I came to materialistic pleasures a bit later in life, so my mindset is: let me enjoy them first. Maybe, once I grow tired of all this, Iâll begin to seek peace. Perhaps only then will I truly understand the value of Samadhi. In my understanding, spirituality is equal to peaceđĽ.
One never gets tired of pleasure except temporarily. Pleasures, whether material or vital, are like an addiction. It satiates temporarily but never satisfies. It returns
Why is it not advisable to stay in Pondicherry and work for ashram for few years and then go back to the place of temporary âhomeâ until one day one comes back to Pondicherry for good for the rest of their life? Why when we move is it advised to move for good đ¤¨?
There is no such rule like that. On the contrary people are advised to initially work temporarily as volunteers and see for themselves if they
Why do people say that money can’t buy happiness or peace? With money, we can buy branded things that bring joy. We can fulfill parents’ dreams and our own. We can afford all the material comforts we desire, and these things make us feel happy and content. If we want to visit the Ashram, we can easily go, and that gives us peace. Money gives us the freedom to travel the world, which also brings happiness and peace. So, doesnât money actually make it easier to experience these thingsđ?
Of course if buying branded cloth, traveling around the world, fulfilling parent’s dreams and material comforts is all that one seeks then surely money may
What is the reason and significance of the samadhi of Ma and Sri Aurobindo unlike Hindu tradition of cremation? Am sure there is a reason of this difference. Would you please explainđ¤?
